Doodle Notes

“You ask an awakened person why he is happy. And he replies: ‘Why wouldn’t I be?’”
– Quoted from page 69, I just don’t remember which book…

This quote stopped me on my tracks. With my heart on my sleeve and ego steaming hot on the other hand, it sometimes gets lost in the hurdle that everything is actually okay. There’s really no reason why not to be happy, even if you’re not awakened or enlightened. There’s no need to wait for that!!!

All is well!

My Inspiration & Delight

Nani, my dog, enjoying the Old Town Porvoo, Finland

It was her first time in a hotel and she was such a wonderful companion. She was treated like royalty wherever we went, and Porvoo – again, as always – was just so lovely!

Day and night.

Old Town Porvoo, Finland, at night

Visiting old towns that have old, colorful, and beautiful wooden buildings just fills my heart so that it overflows!

What kind of places fill your heart with awe and joy?
