Hello my beloved readers,

if they say “a man a word” then it definitely is “a woman a rose”. Us women may be a book or a whole dictionary but this simply speaks for our mind. Where else have you seen such deep beings beautiful to admire but dangerous to touch. What it means to be a true woman to idealize and respect as strong, equal beings I am going to share with you in the following.

This year I was told by one colleague whom I am holding very dear that if you are becoming a mother you have to become a lioness. She has passed this life-philosophy on to me as I told her about an incident that has hurt me pretty much and put me down in order to cheer me up and help me finding new strength. Because she knows that I can be strong because by nature I am.

“When you are beautiful (…) people think that you are easily open to attack.”
– Fal4Me

This is the point when you are being put down anyhow: when you are beautiful and take good care of your outer appearance people think that you are easily open to attack. You have to use this weakness of human mind for yourself to prove them wrong, that you are anything but weak. Just remember each time when receiving a rose or a bunch of it. People are so much blinded by the beauty of the roses that they completely forget about their thorns every time anew.

So before becoming a lioness make sure to already be a rose. One that is not only beautiful but as well clever-minded, strong and knows how to defend herself. If you are a steadfast rose who can take care of herself all alone, the way to become a lioness that protects her close fellows dearest to her, is not far.

Roses an Black: A Rose-Garden by Night

When I first presented this color-combination in the form of aurora-borealis I talked about the Garden of Eden – the personal paradise on earth – individual to everyone of us. The reason why I remember it by this time is that there is a catch to the way of becoming a rose as described above. It is connected with the inner and outer satisfaction of us women. Whenever we are not satisfied with ourselves or our life inside out we cannot be in harmony with ourselves, our surrounding and our fellows.

But that is not what a rose does with her fellows. She only causes feelings of joy and enriches people. That is what belongs to being a rose as well, lifting our surrounding up and not down.

The darkness of the night or rather the black background stands for the deepness of a women’s mind as well as her heart.

Note: In case you wonder why I look so corpulent in this shooting while being slim in the other outfits in between, the shooting for this outfit had to be made up in late autumn, when I have already been high-pregnant, since before that we did not manage to shoot it in the cold days and summer having been too hot to wear it.

Love, Johanna
