It is that time of the year again… you hear drums, your body and especially your hips move with the rhythm, you smell fire, fish, and sunscreen, you see more colourfully dressed people than usual (thank goodness!), and you see smiles and content faces everywhere.
It is when Africa takes centre stage in a Swiss city.
It is Afro-Pfingsten Festival in Winterthur.
She stole my heart. Do you see the elderly lady looking out the window in the top middle image? I dared to take a picture without asking her as she had this big contagious smile in her face moving her body with the rhythm of Ma belle chérie we were all listening to (on stage in the photo to the right of her).
Let’s do it like her: Keep smiling and dancing forever!
Are you in the mood now to listen to some African rhythms? Then watch the videos in my other Afro-Pfingsten post.
Warm greetings and have a wonderful (long) weekend,
Daniela

Yes, I so agree! I plan to start dancing in a weekly class, so that I move my body and hips not only when cooking 😄💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼🥳. Let‘s dance wherever whenever as if nobody was watching! I am sure this makes the world a happier place.
I wish you well, dear Rhapsody, and send you lots of sunshine ☀️ 💝☀️.

What a beautiful idea Daniela, I love it. I also heard we should dance the first 5-10 minutes every morning which will put us in the right frame of mind, our happy place for the day.
Have a great Sunday and next week. Many blessings. 💙

What a great idea. Thank you, I will. I saw about the heatwave and Mom was already too warm speaking with her today, and it hasn’t even hit yet. Please make sure to stay hydrated and be safe. Much love to you. 🦋

Thank you Rhapsody. I will be drinking and drinking lots of water and eat some salty snacks in-between 😋. Hope your mom and everyone else who needs support is very well looked after, especially during this extraordinary weather.
Big hug 💞
