Warm Ice | When you thought something was worthless but on a second look, it was actually magnificent.

Value | Can you imagine growing up surrounded by breathtaking mountains and beautiful horses? I would have loved that. Probably this kid doesn't think much of it though. He may dream of shinny toys and playgrounds, things I thought commonplace. Many times what we value the most is what we don't have but want, failing to appreciate the things (and the people) that are around us. Do you truly value what and who you have? —·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·——·—·—·—·—·—·— 🐴 —·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·——·—·—·—·—·—·— #enjoylifetoday #newwriters #thewritersaying #liveafulllive #enjoythejourney #gratitudegang #abundantlife #socialimpactstorytelling #friendshipfirst #pixkg #storytellings #storytellingtime #storytellingsession #storytellingchangestheworld #pausaydisfruta #centralasia #centralasiatravel #gokg #kyrgyzstan #kyrgyzrepublic #discoverkyrgyzstan #indyguide #pathlesstraveled #tsarphotography #theuntamedplaces #ruralexposures #kyrmagazine #valueable #valueworld #mountainstotravel
A Room With a View | Sometimes we get wrapped up in the things immediately around us that we don't like. Our houses are too small, our cars too old, our jobs just ok, our friends too few, our families incomplete. But if we were to lift up our eyes and contemplate the beauty in the world around us (admitely sometimes is hard to see), we could, maybe for a minute, realize how blessed we are and how much we really do have. Do you have a hard time seeing the blessings in your life? —·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·——·—·—·—·—·—·— ⛅ —·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·——·—·—·—·—·—·— #storytelling #storytellingimages #storytellingpictures #storytellingmoments #bloggerin #centralasia #centralasiatravel #gokg #kyrgyzstan #kyrgyzrepublic #discoverkyrgyzstan #indyguide #pathlesstraveled #resilience #possibilities #getuncomfortable #purposefulliving #focusonwhatmatters #nomadliving #travelforyoursoul #beststories #travelforyourstory #authenticliving #perspective #newperspective #theuntamedplaces #trusting #nothingisordinary_ #thrivingnotsurviving #yurtliving
Already Ready | It feels like ages have passed since the flowers were blooming and you could sit outside in the mornings to enjoy a cup of coffee. In reality, that was only two months ago. No deep thoughts today. I just wanted to tell you that I'm already ready for summer, or at least spring. Do you love cold winters or are you a continuous sun seeker? —·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·——·—·—·—·—·—·— ❇️ —·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·——·—·—·—·—·—·— #sunseeker #sunseekers #neverendingsummers #dreamingofsun #dreamingofsunnydays #wintergoawayalready #snapdragonflowers #antirrhinum #flowerstories #flowersmakemehappy #alltheprettyflowers #mydarlingminimal #flowersgivemepower #bocadedragon #flowerphotographycomp #beautifulnaturepic #theuntamedplaces #folkgrammer #flowersfromallovertheworld #beautifulstorytelling #ruralexposures #ruralflowers #flowercaptures #beautyinflowers #letscolortheworld #flowers_of_theworld #gardenphotography
Contrasts | Summers skies and snow-covered mountains. They provide a nice contrast. My life is full of contrasts, not always the nice kind. // I work among people with very little resources, many of them living on $3 a day or less. I visit them in their one room houses to talk about health and healthy lifestyles (try to figure that one out on three bucks a day). Then I go home. I have a very modest home by Western standards, 807 sq ft (75 m²), one bathroom (that we had to install), and three small bedrooms whose total area is smaller than the area of some of my American friends' master bedroom. And I always have food in the pantry. Always. // The contrast between the people I serve and my own life is staggering. It is very hard to see the consequences of poverty affecting every aspect of the lives of people I have come to love. Do you encounter sharp contrasts in your everyday life? —·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·——·—·—·—·—·—·— 💢 —·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·——·—·—·—·—·—·— #storytellingart #storytellingimages #storytellingpictures #mustvisitagain #mountainexplorer #mountainshadows #gokg #kyrgyzrepublic #discoverkyrgyzstan #indyguide #ruralexposures #kyrmagazine #pathlesstraveled #stepoutsideofyourcomfortzone #purposefulliving #focusonwhatmatters #authenticliving #perspective #newperspective #theuntamedplaces #povertysucks #thrivingnotsurviving #foodforthought #pursuitofhappines #theuntamedplaces #contrastoflife #peoplematter #kidnessiscontagious #daretocare #bethevoiceforthevoiceless
Security | Security is an illusion that probably shouldn't be trusted. Don't believe me? Look at this mama sheep run to her lamb. She realized I was approaching, and she darted to protect her baby. But could she? Not in a million years. What if it was a lion instead, you could ask. Well, she could protect her baby from an intruder, but definitely not from a gun, for example. You see, we create safegurds around us, but the only thing they do is give us an illusion of security. Our careers, our health, our families, and even our lives could vanish in a single moment. What will you trust in when the illusion of security disappears? —·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·——·—·—·—·—·—·— ❔ —·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·——·—·—·—·—·—·— #storytelling #storytellingimages #storytellingpictures #storytellingmoments #bloggerin #centralasia #centralasiatravel #gokg #kyrgyzstan #kyrgyzrepublic #discoverkyrgyzstan #indyguide #ruralexposures #kyrmagazine #pathlesstraveled #getuncomfortable #purposefulliving #focusonwhatmatters #authenticliving #perspective #newperspective #theuntamedplaces #trusting #thrivingnotsurviving #thewisdomofinsecurity #foodforthought #pursuitofhappines #whodoyoutrust #theuntamedplaces #trusting
