Joining Hugh from Hugh’s Views and News for Sunday Stills: Night.
If light is in your heart, you will find your way home
Rumi
Hugh asks us to close our eyes and see the darkness. Yes, there is darkness, but as Rumi said, there is light too. Somedays this light is weak and the darkness takes over bringing out all the nightmares that were hidden in the past. I’m learning to keep the flame of my internal candle burning and when I close my eyes I feel stillness and safety.
Have a great week!
winter, whiteness, wildness, wholeness. wondering and noticing how the cold air washes my body, the roughness of it cleaning my thoughts and making me be present.
Hugh, from Hugh’s Views & News, for Sunday Stills.
I haven’t joined a challenge for so long, but being a friend of Hugh for many years, I’ve decided to give it a try.
Today Hugh asks us to write about windows. This is my view, right now, from my living room window. I’m wondering if I’ll be able to go out.
We had a massive snow storm yesterday, we were snowed in all day. Not being able to move the car for grocery shopping, my refrigerator is empty! Being at home all day with 2 teenages, you can imagine…
View from my kitchen window during the storm, it’s so pretty, but not easy to handle. I spent the day baking, journaling and drinking lots of tea to keep warm.
Now the last one is the view to my backyard, the sun is shining but it’s very cold, – 13 degrees Celsius, and again I’m wondering how many layers I’ll have to dress up to go out!
Hope you enjoy your Sunday, and check Hugh’s blog for joining the challenge or wondering about windows.
It isn’t only about acceptance, but understanding, transforming and adapting.
This is the first page I worked on after few days without any mood for journaling. I posted here about my feelings these last days, lots of up and downs and insecurities.
Well, it is the weekend, hoping to have lots of me time for journaling.
Have a great weekend!
Noticing how a little gesture can light up my mind. I got these beautiful tiny flowers at the grocery store today. Why not? a gift for myself, I deserve it!
It’s snowing, all grey and cold out there, now at least my living room as colour and freshness. Hoping to give a break in my mood, I don’t know if it is depression, winter blues, but I need to recharge and take care of myself.
I just love Picoult’s quote from the Spark of light! It reminds of acceptance, and I need to be reminded of it all the time.
Wishing a peaceful day/night to you!

Saturday morning, I’m spending time in my studio being crazy with my art pages.
And you? What are you up this weekend? Hope something fun and relaxing.
Have a great weekend!
I’ve been art journaling since 2013, and now I think I’ve finally figured out my style for art journal pages. Here are a few things that I love to have on my pages:
It’s funny, I always try to change things but always go back to what makes comfortable and my creativity can fly free.
And you? How is your creativity doing?
I’m ‘being’ much more than ‘doing’ these days. I don’t want to rush through things, but I want to enjoy and appreciate moments. BE is my word for this year, just be myself, be here and now.
A little heart goes a long way when we release boundaries and are ready to create a new path for our dreams.
Noticing how the criticism and boundaries that pull me down are inside my mind. Learning how to be free from them. It isn’t a easy process but I’ll get there.

emptiness
being filled up with
memories and dreams
insecurity and hope
