Life’s been like a hurrican lately, I feel like I’ve been twirling non-stop and my head is spinning. Sometimes I forget to pause, to just stop for a moment and sit still, to listen to the silence and see the small things, the details.
Yesterday was a full moon and in the days just before […]
After my last post I decided to focus on the positive things in my life, things I´m grateful for and that I´m looking forward to, the so-called roses. I will share a few of my roses with you here:
I’m looking forward to my tarot course this weekend
the sun is shining and the sky is beautifully […]
Locked gates

I was looking forward to this Bank Holiday weekend so much. This was going to be a weekend full of fun and adventure, of quality time and connecting. Except that it didn’t turn out the way I’d imagined it. Quite the opposite, in fact. Instead it was a weekend full of anger, frustration and feeling […]
Hopes and fears

A few days ago I received the news that one of my aunts has been diagnosed with cancer. The disease has spread widely and although tests are still being run and nothing is certain yet, the prospects are not good. It’s at times like these I really hate being abroad, not being able to spend […]
My new friend Cassandra over at Gee How Quaint posed a question that I’ve been asking myself a lot lately as well: where does the need to create come from? In an era where almost anything can be made for us by machines, why do we take the time and make the effort to do […]
Meditating

In an attempt to invite more spirituality into my life I took up a meditation course about 6 weeks ago. I loved it from the very first moment. Meditation wasn’t new for me (my mom introduced me to it when I was 14 or so), but I’d never meditated in a group before. I felt […]

Celebration and Gratitude

I don’t normally consider my birthday a special day, not since I was a kid, when I’d wake up and my chair was decorated with balloons and garlands. My 30th birthday was a very special day. Not because I was turning 30, but because it was the first time I didn’t think of it as […]
The big three-oh
Posted on March 24, 2008 at 7:51am in My life, Reflection
When I was a teenager, thirty sounded terribly old. Well, not terribly old, like 87, but I remember thinking that when you’re thirty, you’ll have everything figured out and life does not hold any secrets for you anymore. That you’ll be all grown up and wise and serene and compassionate and that you’ll always know […]
Spring
Posted on March 16, 2008 at 8:52pm in My life, Reflection
I’m feeling restless. Maybe it’s because spring seems to be coming, but then withdraws again, leaving everything bleak and grey. I’m ready for spring, I’m waiting to welcome the new blossoms and sprouts, the fresh green leaves and the awakening of nature. But nature doesn’t want to wake up yet, or so it seems.
A few […]
