Frozen River
Cee’s B&W photo challenge this week is WATER. I love to walk by this river in all the seasons. In the winter we can listen to the water moving under the ice, it’s very relaxing, of course, if you are warm enough with layers and layers of clothes 🙂 .

“Nourishing yourself in a way that helps you blossom in the direction
you want to go is attainable, and you are worth the effort. “
Deborah Day
It’s cold around here, I’m glad I don’t have to go to work this week. This means I can be cozy indoors without the hush to go out early morning.
Few things I’m doing to nourish myself this week:
- Sleeping and sleeping
- Lots of art journal pages
- Eating warm and health food
- Going out in the afternoon to take photos, it’s cold but it’s pretty out there
- Knitting a scarf for myself
- Reading and writing
- Drinking lots of tea
- Watching movies with hubby and kids in the evenings
And you? how are you nourishing yourself this week?
Happy New Year!

This time of the year the sun shines directly into my living room. I love to sit in there with a cup of tea and watch the light dancing on the walls.

“Stop focusing on how stressed you are,
and remember how blessed you are. ”
Unknown
This week could have been a crazy one. Too many things to do, here are few of them:
- gifts wrapping
- two potluck lunches (this means, hours cooking)
- doctor appointment for one of the kids
- hairdressing appointment for me
- Pick up packages at the post office
I was getting stressed before the week started, how could I have time to do everything that needs to be done and still be a full day in the office?
Monday morning I made a list of all the chores for this week. At the end of the list, I wrote:
” You control your rhythm, nothing can steal your inner peace without your permission.”
I’m taking easy, step by step, and more than 1/2 of the list is already checked. The best thing to do, when the stress starts to take over, is to slow down and do something unrelated to the stressed situation. This week I’m having lots of ‘me time’: journaling, reading, watching the snow or simply stopping and admiring the lights around me. Everything is ok!
Happy Solstice to you!

whiteness and wildness
This view is a bliss to me. Every morning while nursing a cup of coffee in my hands I look outside my kitchen door. The connection between the white sky and the snow on the ground making everything whole.
Nature has taught me so much these last years. One of the most important things is LET GO, let go of stuff that takes me away from my true self. I’ve learned that I own my body, my soul, and space where I step on. There is no room to be smiling and pleasing others anymore at the cost of my happiness. I need to be happy with myself, to be content and true with my feelings in first place.
Nature has taught me that there is time for everything: time to keep and to let go.
softness
a walk in my backyard spotting beauty in every corner. yes, it’s snowing and it’s pretty. a perfect jolly sunday for stillness and solitude. enjoy your day!

“Self-compassion is simply giving the same kindness to ourselves
that we would give to others. “
Christopher Germer
I’m learning to take a better care of myself and to respect my space. I’ve neglected my well being for many years. Enought is enough!. I know it’s not easy but little by little I get there.
