thanksgiving weekend in my part of the world. busy day in the kitchen, but i still notice a few tiny things, like how pretty is garlic skin. love the pink and purple mixing with all the softness of it.

“Only you can take inner freedom away from yourself,

or give it to yourself. Nobody else can.” Michael A. Singer

saturday afternoon

noticing the sunshine

noticing the words in this book

that speak directly to me

noticing the flavors in my chai

noticing tiny bits of joy

listening to the wind, feeling it touching my skin and caressing my hair as i walk focusing on being present. isn’t’ it a wonderful mindfulness exercise?

have a great friday!

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

silence. walking and observing. it’s early morning, the dawn has just kissed goodbye, the sun is hiding behind the clouds. it’s cold, i’ve my hands in my pockets, only out for few seconds to snap this beauty. it’s worth each second. this moment is mine.

stop. breathe. listen.

welcome October

with all your gorgeous colors

and freshness

with lessons of letting go

and coziness

happy new month my friends!

books and books

new or old

all of them leave paths

in our mind

new feelings

new discoveries

new wishes

old memories

quiet in my life :: yoga, meditation, and journaling early in the morning. this is my ‘me time’. love to wake up early and to know that for an hour or so i’ll not be disturbed. some days i get lazy and stay in the bed but most of the time i get up and start my day being positive.

my friend Delicia is creating personal meditations, you can check out here. she has lovely meditations in there and i asked her to create a personal meditation for me. she knows me well and i trusted that she’d pinpoint all my needs in the meditation.

i received my meditation last week, love it! the meditation is grounding, but at the same time makes me feel light and free. i’m practicing it every day since them and i feel that unpleasant thoughts are getting weaker and i’ve more room for creativity in my mind. isn’t it great!

my ‘me time’ makes me a better person to others, but the most important makes me a better person to myself.

hugs,

my journaling time is a kind of ritual. it’s the time i connect with my inner-self. i listen to a deeper voice, my soul’s voice, so i need solitude and silent. a candle and earth elements close by. sometimes i draw a card, to use it as a prompt. coffee or tea is a must. my favorite tools are a plain Moleskine notebook and a Micron pen. this week i’m joining a writing challenge on IG, #quietwriting, i like the prompts and i’m joining it because it is a short challenge, only 7 days. yesterday’s prompt was ‘creative space’ and i shared this photo showing my journaling time.

And you? where/how do you like to write?

“this particular boy looked impossibly young and fine-boned beneath the bill of his cap, his eyelids burned by the weight of a thousand silky black lashes.”

this morning i’m noticing the details of a story. i’m impressed by the writing of Ann Patchett, how she describes the characters of her story. feels like they are close by and we can touch them. her books are great! i wanted to read this one for a long time, i’m reading it slowly, few pages each morning, savoring each line.

Have a great week my friends!
