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’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!

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.

Is there only one-way?
I don’t think so,
there are many ways and detours
the question is:
Did you choose the right way?

Early mornings the sun is shining directly in my kitchen. I love to watch the light and shadows dancing on the bottles, jars…, it’s a magical moment.

My journal is the nest of my creativity. In there, I give freedom to my imagination. I let the words lay down on the pages. Words expressing my feelings and ideas. I know my words will be free and sheltered from any damage in my journal.

Yesterday we had our first snowfall for this season, so lovely to watch the snowflakes reaching the ground. Of course, the first snowfall and the first week of snow are magical, but as the time goes by it becomes very difficult to accept the heavy snow that accumulates on the streets and sidewalks. Here is an acrostic poem for you.
Snow
Lovely and magical
Unbelievable the softness and design
Demanding all the attention to drive and walk
Gear up and go out
Enjoy the outdoors before the sludge shows up

Particular is a split second moment when the view from your kitchen is like a Monet painting. A cup of coffee in your hand, the silence, and a new day ahead.
