“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.

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!

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

Terri Guillemets

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.

Sludge: first snow fall

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
