The Muse cruises the world of myths. A kernel of truth is the soul of every story, so she documents the only sure reality – that of change – the rest is imagination.

FREEDOM is the greatest wealth on Earth, spend it wisely

Transcending extremities through balance and simplicity

Indulge

Embrace pleasure in life: Be aware of biodiversity, shed guilt by choosing responsibly made food, savor terroir in wine and genuine chocolate ~ Relish the Earth sustainably

Rejuvenate

Complement your wellbeing with healthy food, herbs, tea, spa and by slowing down: Open all senses to life and you will find youth in every moment ~ Harmony is graceful

In a room of my own tackling myths without the misogyny of centuries past, I muse on life for those willing to slow down and find joy
