Sunday Stills: Blank pages

On February 17, 2019 By ElizabethIn Photography, Writing17 Comments

Good Morning!

Today’s the theme is Fresh, well, so many things fresh things around me this morning:

The fresh flowers I’ve on my kitchen counter, fresh eggs, from the farm market, that I scrambled for my husband, fresh laundry waiting to be ironed, a new book on my coffee table …, but today I want to show the freshness of a habit, my journaling practice. I hope I have captured it below:

Let us live simply in the freshness of the present moment, in the clarity of pure awakened mind.
Matthieu Ricard

The freshness of a new morning
Coffee fragance diffusing through the kitchen
Blank pages waiting
Waiting for words
And thoughts 
To surrender to the moment

Have a lovely and fresh Sunday!

backyard mindfulness

leaves slowly falling down

dancing with the fresh breeze

taking their time to let go

teaching us that it’s ok

there is time for everything

and no need to hold to

what doesn’t serve us anymore

thoughts

they abruptly come

stealing a space in the mind

a space that wasn’t empty at all

but they are ruthless

they take us down without asking permission

isn’t worth to try controlling them

they become stronger with each block

the best is to let them come and go

we aren’t our thoughts

“The beauty of life is in small details, not in big events.”

Jim Jarmusch

Hope your day is going well. Stop few minutes and pay attention to the detail of the things around you. It can be the prettiness of the tiny petals inside hibiscus flower if you are in a garden. It can be a small crack in your cup of coffee if you are in the office. It can be the dripping of water from the tap if you are in the kitchen, it can be … so many things that we don’t pay attention in the hurry of getting ‘big’ things done.

Don’t forget: Stop; Breathe; Listen

Hugs,

Sharing with Nurturing Thursday and

behind those windows

peace and tranquility

just what i need

right now and forever

a room of solitude

but to reach it

the mind needs to rip apart

all thorns and fences

mindfulness

focus on the roses

December vision board

On December 3, 2017 By ElizabethIn Inspirational8 Comments

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,

Tea & Paper
