Hi, Leonie: Great photo. You embody life’s enjoyment. I tried to download your WORK * PLAY * REST manifesto, but the link was invalid. Are you still sharing?
I’m sorry the links weren’t working – yes I’m still sharing these. I’ve fixed it now for you, so you can download them from the post again.

This is just wonderful! I found you through Lisa Sonora Beam’s blog which I follow regularly. Thanks so much!
Dearest Leoni,
I’m so happy to have discovered your blog today via a Twitter connection.
Love this manifesto and am going to share with my readers tomorrow for a Friendly Friday feature.
Just love your photography and poetry. You’ve inspired me…bookmarked in my inspiration feed!

Oh! I love this!
I made a manifesto for myself years and years ago but it wasn’t nearly so lovely looking. And then I decided to use the frame for something else and the list was lost in the process.
Brilliant, Leonie! Well done, you! xo
I love this! Thank you for sharing :)
Much appreciated. Thank you.
Back from Italy and catching up :-)
i love this – i think i add it as the wallpaper on my phone, i’m always looking at that.
i love the words and the letterpressy look of it (that course you did must have left an ‘impression’) :) x
LOVE this Leonie…thanks for the freebie too. I’m printing now & will hang at home later! You rock lady!!!

Yay!
What great fun!
