is what brought this year to an end when my son and I had an opportunity to see, feel and experience the “Vain elämää” concert yesterday. Really it was… like being wrapped up in the soft warmth of a Provençal sunset.

A Novemberlike weather, windy freezing rain chased us inside to Barona Areena, running across icy water paddles, hand in hand. But inside it was sunshine – like Erin called Cheek – waiting for us. Those melodies, that charisma, the rollercoaster of emotions. Little stories from real life.

That had carried us through this year’s autumness.

And say what you want, HS, we loved everything.

It is good to know, that thanks to his artist friends, from now on even Cheek can sleep (or perform his Tibetan rites) in a sleeping bag. A Brand New Prada one, as LV apparently draw their line at hiking gear 🙂 .

Till next year, my Dear Friends. Remember, all we can do is leave our very own footprints on the sand.

Take care of yourselves and each other ♥.

Much love,

LadyBohemia

~* one day I found a magic forest *~

December 27, 2012 by LadyBohemia

Have you already shifted your sights to the new year? I started tonight.

Wondering, dreaming away about things I would like to do, to experience, to achieve, to feel… I have a plan you see. For a moment, I’ll let my thoughts fly free, then I’ll ask them to stop butterflying around my head. Take a good look at those unclear unspecified dreams. And then make a plan, draw a picture, of just how I could achieve them in this very real life.

Once, for a period of a year, I had a kind of life/career coach. Who made me realize just how many mountains in my life I could climb, if I only had the patience and understanding to do it step by step.

When I met her, I had an unspecified dream, of starting a blog. No name for it, no concept, no schedule… And without her LadyBohemia would still be a freeflying thought in the la-la-land of my mind.

Step by step.

I’ll choose my mountains, then conquer the ones I love the most.

Which will your mountains be for 2013?

~* faerydust sprinkled all over me *~

December 24, 2012 by LadyBohemia

Whenever I have to challenge myself and face a really tough situation, I arm myself with faerydust. By wearing jewellery given by somebody special, a piece of clothing made for my by a friend, or a little gift given with love.

For my radio interview I really needed some force beyond my own as I the topics I was asked to address were as painful as they were intimate to me.

I carefully chose my most beautiful pieces, handmade wristwarmers by Oona Elena Kassila. A picture of these wristwarmers was the very first blog post I ever made so the symbolism was there…

We’ve come a long way together ♥.

Oona is one beautiful inspiration in my life as well as a true bohemian lady herself.

Her magic is so kind yet so powerful. I feel her energy in all the pieces she has designed for me, such as this unique lace tiara necklace, handcrafted of antique laces, freshwater pearls and a rose quartz.

Finally, my rings. By Oona’s man Mo Puccino.

The stone is a rare opal, delicately decorated by a handcrafted silver frame, reflecting all the shades of the universe. The color of the opal is different in all lights, always magical. To me, carrying this ring is carrying my own personal rainbow with me.

I surrounded myself by so much loving energy that no wonder.

At some point, I even forgot to be nervous.

~* counting my blessings *~

December 24, 2012 by LadyBohemia

Tonight sleep won’t come.

But I don’t mind anything else, as I have two little ones who are safe and sound right in the next room, faraway in dreamland.

And I lay here looking a these pictures. The large one is 4-5 years old, my all time favorite. I remember how happy we all were when it was taken.

And the little silver frame… A photo taken seven years ago, at the baptizing of my baby son. He was a little frightened and I was comforting him… A picture that so perfectly captures the closeness of mother and child, that I can still feel his weight in my arms, his breathing on my neck.

Our house was lit by candles – and nothing else but candles everywhere. The music was soft and sweet, everyone we loved was there.

And here I am, unable to shake the memories of these pictures. Counting my blessings.
