{vivere intensamente nel momento}

I recently ran into an old family friend at a wedding, and as we were talking, she turned to me and said, “Vivi intensamente nel momento.”  You live intensely in the moment.  OK, so it sounds way prettier in Italian, but still, what a beautiful phrase.  Not just to live in the moment, but to live with intensity and intensely in the moment.  I like that idea.

Actor Brian Cox teaches a toddler the ”To Be or Not to Be” soliloquy. Hands-down, the most adorable Hamlet I’ve ever seen.

dreamy photos

I’ve been admiring the work of Montreal-based photographer Irene Suchocki for a while now.  she creates the most gorgeous, whimsical, dreamy photographs.  She calls them “little poems for the eyes.”  Isn’t that the best description?

Check out her Etsy shop & blog for more!

The flower shots are so pretty & delicate & vintage looking…
