This primate is completely delusional for attempting to save this town from the floods.
At least he tried..
Αυτό το πρωτεύον θηλαστικό είναι εντελώς παραληρηματικό επειδή προσπαθεί να σώσει αυτήν την πόλη από τις πλημμύρες.
Τουλάχιστον προσπάθησε..
Happy International Women’s day!
The drawing is a comparison of two generations of women. So much has changed in a hundred years.
When I compare my generation with my mother’s and my grandmother’s I can’t believe how different each generation is.
For example, the women from my grandmother’s generation were only required to get married and have lots of children, do some farm work, and that’s about it.
With my mothers’ generation, women were expected to get married, have a few children, get a job, be great cooks, cleaners and hosts.
Then with my generation of women, we are still expected to get married, have children (maybe one or two), get a higher education, be great chefs, mothers (helicopter mother), wives (no nagging), cleaners, and hosts. But, then there is more added to the plate. She must have impeccable hygiene, dress stylish, be classy, get plastic surgery, be extremely knowledgable- a walking encyclopedia, learn many languages, have many skills and hobbies, have many friends, experiences, travel the world, do men’s work etc.
We have more options, opportunities and equality than ever before, but too much has been put on our plates. A modern woman has to be an extraordinary human being. The bar has been set very high. No excuses anymore. Not with all the options that women before us didn’t have. And although some women can achieve many things in their life, not all women can or even want to…
This type of life is exhausting, and only for people who are made of steel, with never-ending energy deposits, and who possess iron-clad stomachs.
There have been many surveys published in the recent years that have revealed that women are more stressed than men https://www.apa.org/topics/stress/women-stress
According to the survey more and more women feel burned out due to having to balance their home life with a career. Also, they don’t feel that men contribute enough. The truth is that young women today have been exploited and burnt out by modern society. The majority of modern women are over-worked, stressed, angry, anxiety-ridden, and financially insecure. This is a topic that is not discussed enough in any country, as it should be.

‘Run For Your Life’, surreal handmade collage with a little fixing in photoshop.

Handmade surreal collage made from images from books and magazines.
My surreal handmade collage with paper from books. I used a print of the very famous renaissance painting, ‘The Birth of Venus’ by Italian artist Sandro Boticelli completed 1480’s, for my collage.
I hope his spirit doesn’t haunt me..haha! But, a funny thing happened after completed this. I randomly clicked on a travel vlogger that went to Florence and he went to the museum where the painting is being displayed. So that was a little strange. Coincidence??
I don’t know much about his background, but I am intrigued and will be doing some research on him. A man who paints or sculpts a goddess like Venus/Aphrodite is most definitely a man with strong feminine energy. It’s fascinating to say the least.
Το σουρεαλιστικό χειροποίητο κολάζ μου με χαρτί από βιβλία, ‘Η Γέννηση της Νοικοκυράς’ Χρησιμοποίησα μια εκτύπωση του πολύ διάσημου αναγεννησιακού πίνακα, «Η Γέννηση της Αφροδίτης» του Ιταλού καλλιτέχνη Sandro Boticelli που ολοκληρώθηκε τη δεκαετία του 1480, για το κολάζ μου.
Ελπίζω να μην με κυνηγάει το πνεύμα του..χαχα! Αλλά, ένα αστείο πράγμα συνέβη μετά την ολοκλήρωση αυτού. Έκανα τυχαία κλικ σε ένα ταξιδιωτικό vlogger που πήγε στη Φλωρεντία και πήγε στο μουσείο όπου εκτίθεται ο πίνακας. Αυτό λοιπόν ήταν λίγο περίεργο. Σύμπτωση??
Δεν ξέρω πολλά για το ιστορικό του, αλλά με ενδιαφέρει και θα κάνω κάποια έρευνα για αυτόν. Ένας άντρας που ζωγραφίζει ή σμιλεύει την θεά Αφροδίτη είναι σίγουρα ένας άντρας με έντονη θηλυκή ενέργεια. Είναι το λιγότερο συναρπαστικό.
Oh the horror! I have met my fair share of highly toxic people in my life. We are told to remove them from our lives, but trying to remove them from your mind is a whole other feat.
I like the idiom ‘they’re living in your mind rent free’, because it is the truth. These people, who are not in your life anymore, still have power over your thoughts. This can be frustrating, because they have won. That’s why it is important that we remove the toxic people from not only our lives, but from our thoughts so that we can have more peaceful lives.
Ωχ τη φρίκη! Έχω γνωρίσει πολλούς εξαιρετικά τοξικούς ανθρώπους στη ζωή μου. Μας λένε να τα αφαιρέσουμε από τη ζωή μας, αλλά το να προσπαθείς να τα αφαιρέσεις από το μυαλό σου είναι εντελώς άλλο κατόρθωμα.
Μου αρέσει το ιδίωμα «ζουν στο μυαλό σου χωρίς ενοίκιο», γιατί είναι η αλήθεια. Αυτοί οι άνθρωποι, που δεν είναι πια στη ζωή μας, εξακολουθούν να έχουν εξουσία πάνω στις σκέψεις μας. Αυτό μπορεί να είναι απογοητευτικό, γιατί έχουν κερδίσει. Γι’ αυτό είναι σημαντικό να απομακρύνουμε τους τοξικούς ανθρώπους όχι μόνο από τη ζωή μας, αλλά από τις σκέψεις μας, ώστε να έχουμε μια πιο ήρεμη ζωή
Happy New Year!
Well… it’s already got off to a rocky start (literally). I’ve heard by many that it will be another tough year. Who knows? It’s like leaping into the void. A leap of faith. And that’s what I’ll name this collage.
So, this is my first collage of the new year. I haven’t made a collage in a long time. I forgot how painstaking it can be to cut out the images. It’s a labour of love and it’s an art that brings me joy, and more of a sense of accomplishment than anything else. I love using my hands to cut and paste things. These hands just cannot remain idle.
Ευτυχισμένο το νέο έτος!
Λοιπόν… έχει ήδη ξεκινήσει μια δύσκολη αρχή. Έχω ακούσει από πολλούς ότι θα είναι άλλη μια δύσκολη χρονιά. Ποιός ξέρει? Είναι σαν να πηδάς στο κενό. Και έτσι θα ονομάσω αυτό το κολάζ.
Λοιπόν, αυτό είναι το πρώτο μου κολάζ για τη νέα χρονιά. Δεν έχω κάνει κολάζ εδώ και πολύ καιρό. Ξέχασα πόσο επίπονο μπορεί να είναι να κόβεις τις εικόνες. Είναι μια δουλειά αγάπης και είναι μια τέχνη που μου φέρνει χαρά και περισσότερο μια αίσθηση ολοκλήρωσης παρά οτιδήποτε άλλο. Μου αρέσει να χρησιμοποιώ τα χέρια μου για να κόβω και να κολλάω πράγματα. Αυτά τα χέρια απλά δεν μπορούν να μείνουν αδρανείς
The title “Peace together” is a play on the words ‘piece together’. It is very current theme given the 2 major conflicts that are happening in the world. I don’t know if there could ever be peace on earth given the nature of humans, and the many things that divide us.
But, any person who truly cares for other human beings and is sensitive soul like myself peace on earth is something that we truly wish for and hope for on this hostile planet.

The concept of the law of attraction is that like attracts like and that we create our reality through our thoughts.
The roots of this ‘law’ can be traced back to the Babylonians and Ancient Egyptians. It can be found in the teachings of Buddhism and Christianity.
It gained popularity in our modern era by the occultist Helena Blavatsky in her book ‘The Secret Doctrine‘ and then the even more modern, and successful book ‘The Secret’ by Rhonda Bryne, and then another famous book by Napoleon Hill called “Think and Grow Rich’ and many, many more books. Through the teachings in these book people were instructed to change their thoughts, ‘what you think you create’ as if people are born with magical powers. Also, we learned about vision boards and meditative techniques to attract what we want.
But, I have questions: do people really have the powers of manifestation or is everything simply in the cards, already pre-determined by fate?
Also, If the law of attraction is real than why do horrible things happen to happy, positive people?
One thing is for sure, the only people who truly prospered from the law of attraction were those who wrote books about it 😉
