Having visitors living in our home for a week was stimulating nad intellectually refreshing. We discussed other topics than the same ol’ “kids, photography, medicine, weather”. We spent hours discovering each others’ opinions about healthy choices in live, alternative ways of raising children, alternative ways of living and many more … and it all reminded me of my dear friend Gunta. (Darling, if you are reading this, you must know again that all the good decisions about these topics in my life I did because of you. Thank you for being so persistent!) Our friends also believe in angels.
This post is dedicated to all people who don’t cease to learn and explore new ways in and of life. I firmly believe that changes are for the better. So if you are not satisfied with some aspect of your life, go change it. It will get better. And if not, at least you gave it a try. Being passive doesn’t get you anywhere. I am still amazed by how simply and most happily people can live if they only start listening to their hearts. If you don’t listen to your heart yet, start today. Don’t do things that make you feel bad – guilt, sadness, negative gut feeling are all signs that what you are doing or about to do is not a good idea. Find other solutions, be creative!
Oh and don’t forget to make others happy along the way. Especially the old and lonely people, you will be old and lonely yourselves one day, no matter how much you push this idea away. Small things are sometimes the big things… Good karma to you all. I am off to bed now.
Angels do walk amongst us. You can be one of them. 
This can be your story.
My angel in civil life … Malena of Malenami.com. Probably the most beautiful and positive person I met in Finland. Thank you for being such an awesome model!

What if we would think of ourselves as angels everyday. Like “what would an angel do in this situation?” What a wonderful world it would be!!!!!
Keep up your good work. You are truly an inspiration.
Love, Zun
Beautiful photographs of Malena as always and you’re a girl after my own heart!
I believe in Angels (cue for an Abba song?!) but I believe that they live amongst us and I also know that I have a Guardian Angel watching over me, and this gives me comfort every day of my life!
And one of my favourite songs of all time is ‘Angel In The Snow’ by a-ha! Morten’s voice is very soothing on it, and whenever I’m stressed or feeling low, listening to this song calms me down and put’s me back on track!
I love your blog, you are one of those lovely inspirational people and everyone should have somebody like you in their life!
Keep up the beautiful work – wishing you a lovely day!

She is a stunner! It is absolutely impossible to pick a fave, but I have to say I am in love with the concept of her walking amidst the “humans” in the street!
