Turning Quotes Into Masterpieces

I woke up this Thursday Morning with a big surprise. I just saw someone posting a quote of mine via twitter, and that gave me such a pleasure I had tears in my eyes when I saw it:

Thanks @hermankasper for quoting my #ThursdayThoughts! #ThursdayGoals are about searching for the best places, which is always from inside! https://t.co/PJWZQZjXsx

Then I found out that there are lots of people who keep sharing my quotes. And they even make it better by sharing their own way of saying the same thing. For example, my saying

"Life keeps throwing the stones. And I keep finding the diamonds."

And Many Thanks @hilltreasures for quoting me in such endearing way. See, life keeps throwing some precious stones. AND I FIND THEM WELL! :) https://t.co/PdOJrTf1jF

A portrait of me through my quote, Inspired by the words that I wrote:

💎Life keeps throwing me stones.
And I keep finding the diamonds...💎

It fills my heart with joy when I look at what people make of quotes from my books, they do some creative stuff with my own words, and through my thoughts. I'm glad that I can share that with you. Here I share some quotes of mine that people already displayed with some inspiring images.

To feel the heavy rain and the thunder.”

#Klimt #TheKiss #ART #quote #TrueLove I love to be quoted like this. It's such a pleasure to see art within the art. All imaginative souls creating together the divine within us! I also create pictures of my own thoughts, and I wrote a book of poetry with images that I call Photos of Thoughts:

Which image comes to your mind when you read or hear my words?

Out of the closet

(Off-the-wall characters happening in the closest wall or/and closet:)

Wondering why his food disappeared in his own house, a man who lived by himself installed a camera surveillance. What was his surprise to find out that a woman was living in his house, inside a closet. She even had a mattress there.

"Out of my closet," the man yelled to her. After all, she had been living there for almost a year without his knowledge.

That seems too fantastic to be true, but this actually happened in Japan, and the woman was caught in flagrant four days ago. How many quotidian stories we may find throughout the world. That's why I wrote a new book based upon extraordinary tales occurring to routinary lives:

Peachy Pitches

Yesterday I decided to face the music and follow the flow ("Dancing As One":)
I subscribed to the meettheauthor site where authors get the courage to show up their faces (sometimes their "Flat Feet":P and talk about their books. I wanted to differ from the circle, so I exposed myself in different angles. I am getting some pretty good "pinches" already: Such "Stigmas"...

Patch me with you, can!

Here is an alternative use for those recycling cans:

Take a large piece of recycled paper and with a sponge embedded with coloured ink, paint the board with the design of your choice and see the effect of it over the paper: it will get a nice textured surface. When it's already dried make four circles, using a can to trace the circumference over the board, and making sure the borders are large enough to be able to fold. Then cut the circles, insert the cans under them and bend the borders. With the circles that were already taken from the board bend them in semicircles and place each one of them in every corner, making sure there is glue enough to make them fit on the surface. Now fill the cans with earth and plant some seeds. Voila! You've got a new decoration for your garden.
