Resolution are useless. I tried them, but they put me under a ridiculous and frustrating pressure. So I decided to start the year in a very special way…
I turned to the people who have traveled with me for the past year, physically, spiritually, emotionally or simply via Skype. I had only one question, and they all answered it. It is all here, ready to be shared with you.
For those who have followed me a little bit, you should easily recognize the Attila, the hubbie and my Mum. Big thanks also to my very patient yoga teacher, Carlo, my hyperloved brothers Jules and llan and my beautiful sister Abi. Tara, my precious friend from Bangkok, Ms Attila’s lovely friend Spud (who proudly represents her adorable family), our super nanny Dulce and last but not least, Chris FOS, my virtual but nonetheless great South African friend!
You’ll probably have to zoom to be able to read all the secrets. That’s how secrets are, they don’t shout. You have to come closer, be attentive, then you’ll find out…
How about you fellow beautiful bloggers, what is your secret to happiness? what puts a smile on your face?
(I should have been a bit humble on this one and decided not to appear on the picture. But I could not resist the temptation to be surrounded by those great people!)
People inspire you or they drain you. Pick them wisely 😉

What are your secrets?
I love this!

Yep, those things can make you happy! Thank you for the beautiful post.
Oh yes they do 🙂 friends by heart or by blood are my energy providers ! thanks a lot for stopping by Amy 🙂
Very personal and uplifting. Great post!
Thanks a lot ! Really appreciate the compliment, loved collecting their pictures and “cooking” them this week 😉
So original, creative and beautiful. Chapeau!!
I, for one, hate resolutions too.
And second your advice about people!
Xxx
Obrigada beaucoup 😉
I have been applying this tip about picking people for a while now, and it does indeed work wonders 😉 Less is more! XXX
Wonderful and clever idea! Xxx
I can see you are really ‘surrounded’ by great people!
My secret to happiness is reading your post, if that makes you happy 😉 I am happy knowing that it will make you happy 😀
And it did 😀 (am I really so predictable ?:/)
maybe 😉
Bah, sometimes maybe. Perfection sounds boring anyway, don’t you think? 😉
No perfection is completely interesting!!
So true 🙂 Being a bit predictable actually makes me even “cooler” – as my daughter would say!
haha. I was trying to be unpredictable 😛
of course perfection is boring 😀
I was wondering when this was going to go up! And freakily enough, it went up moments after I thought about what you were going to do with the pictures! Typo btw, Spud, not SpuR :p. Had I known this was what you were going to come up with, I’d have given you my face! ;D
Love, love, love this post. To hell with resolution. xxx
Hehehehe 🙂 Glad you like it and glad to have your princess in my gallery of Sunny Faces! X
Thank you for posting this! I read it with a huge smile on my face.. I love all the photos and I’m glad you added yours too! Secret to happiness for me definitely includes family and good food!
And I love the quote you wrote and the end about people who inspire or drain… Healthy advice!
Have a good weekend!
😉 Family and Good Food are so essential for the soul, I totally agree with you! When you have them all at the same table, how beautiful it is 🙂
Glad you liked the quote, it’s so true! You are definitely an inspirer, I can’t get your recipe of the Melanzane parmigiana out of my mind. This will be my mission of next week! Have a lovely week ❤
