Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Houses

Magic is everywhere these days: Christmas decorations, lights and much more. To keep up with the magical flow I’ve chosen Fairies houses for Cee’s challenge.

“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.

I love short stories, around 50 words, we can say so much about it and the best is that the reader mind can fly with all the possibilities left hidden between the lines. So here is my 52 words story for Sue’s challenge: MAGIC

From her bedroom window, Ella sees nature dressed in white like a bride waiting for the groom. The bare branches are dancing the wedding waltz. The sky is deep blue, yes, something blue for good luck. Turning to the mirror, Ella sees the scars on her skin. Good luck to who?

This week Colleen’s 2 words are STARK & TRAP, but we need to use synonyms in our poem.

you hold my body
listening to your crisp laugh
my mind goes away
beyond these unfriendly walls
to be uncaged faraway

Hope you like it!

Fence on the top of the world

I’m joining Cee’s black & white challenge. This week is FENCE. I took these photos 2 years ago while visiting the CN Tower in Toronto.

This view is from the tiny dome on the top of the big one. We took one elevator to the big dome and another one to the top. It’s pretty scare to be up there, it’s like we are in a cage, the wind is strong, but I guess the view is the reward for being brave.

For sure it is a place to visit when in Toronto!

December vision board

hello my dear friends from all over the world. we have a lovely sunshine morning here in my part of the world, and the news is that we will have a white christmas.

i make a vison board for every month (of course, if you follow me for long you know it), this is my december one that I made yesterday. november wasn’t an easy month for me, lots of up and downs, and i almost lost my true-self a long the way. i’m in a process of recovering mind and body. somethings are clear now in spite of all the darkness that had laid on me. more than ever i’m grateful for each moment, for being here and now.

few things for december:

practice gratitude daily
enjoy the beauty of the holidays
cook/bake lots of good stuff and savor each bite of them
keep (or better, rescue) my focus on simplicity and minimalism
and the most important of all: enjoy my family and enjoy myself

wishing a wonderful december to you.

hugs and love,

“Give your stress wings, and let it fly away. ”

November hasn’t been an easy month for me, thanks goodness, today is the last day of it. Looking forward for a great December with lots of mindful work and grounding. Hoping to return to the gym for spin classes and resuming my morning yoga and meditation. Little things that really make a difference, they make a better person to me, and to others around me as well.

Hope you have a great day and a wonderful new month ahead.
