Happy New Year 2013

Hi there,

Another post has been long overdue. For those who are interested I'll be posting more photos for you to enjoy or be inspired by.

Today I'm posting a photo from Garden D'lights which is still available for viewing until tonight.For only a $5 donation, it's definitely worth visiting.

Regarding this photo I'm posting today: I love the effects of lights reflecting on water or wet surfaces. Sometimes we complain about rain but it really offers moments of inspiration that might otherwise never have been. After all, you need rain which is water, in combination with sun in order to make rainbows. And who doesn't love rainbows!?

When I relate this creatively to everyday life, I have this thought:
"In order to live fully one must have tears (rain) as well as sunshine (laughter).

Wishing you all a Joyful, Prosperous and Healthy New Year 2013!

Best Wishes, Silvia

Sacred Garden in Maui

Okay, while in Maui I visited this store/nursery/garden.
If you go to Maui and are travelling around upcountry, you must visit this place. It's not far from Makawao, which has farmers markets on Saturdays and Wednesday.

For a place that charges no admission & where you can also buy things, this place is definitely worth the visit!

On site, there are 2 labyrinths that you can walk. One is indoors and the other is outdoors. There is lots of beautiful artwork, plants & statues. There are also lots of interesting things to buy!

Here's a little video I made of some photos I took while I was there.

I really love this music by Deva Premal. I hope you enjoy it. If you need some inspiration maybe it'll come to you while you watch because there are many colors, shapes, patterns, etc. I was told that this place used to be an orchid nursery.

While I was there I bought a cool pendant of their logo which is a heart-spiral shape. What's really cool about it is that you can wear it 4 ways. It's the logo for Sacred Garden but it also represents other things.

It's very similar to something I used to doodle because I really love these two shapes, hearts and spirals.

If you're going to Maui, be sure to visit this place. Here's a link to their website.
