🗓️ 6 to 12 July favourite thing this week Waiting on a bench to be picked up and staring up into the leaves of a large tree, mesmerised with the sunlight playing with the leaves. writing I have finished edits on a mini journalling workshop, still struggling with turning it into an ebook. Now I only need to make a...

Wrote this years ago for a prompt where you had to write a vivid memory, describing all i sensed. — I walk at the flood line at a beach I have visited a lot as a child, near the Hague. The sun is bright red in a sunset sky, I lift up my face to greet it. The sand is warm under my feet, and shapes to cushion my feet with...

I have a small notepad (a Rhodia Dotpad no 12) that I use for... well, everything. It's a mishmash of notes, lists, reminders, a personal budget tracker and anything else that I feel the need to jot down. The contents vary constantly, I tear pages out when I no longer need them, or when I copy them to either my journal...

While looking for something else, I found this poem I wrote once as an encouragement to myself. I needed it today, maybe you do too. When you are thinking about things That make you feel sad and lost Get out of your head, love When you think you’re not worthy Or too stupid or weird to do what you love Get out of your...

🗓️ 29 June to 5 July favourite thing this week Finding an almost complete journalling idea in my notes. writing I'm editing a journalling workshop to publish hopefully this month, alongside another! I've found the draft for the journal that I mentioned above. I really don't remember writing last year (chemo brainfog,...

I have finally sorted my pictures of my second day, and I have managed to let it dwindle down to ten :) It was a great day of exploring and adventures!

When I was a little girl, I had a secret reading spot. We had an attic that you could only reach via a wooden ladder that was hidden behind a ceiling panel. In my eyes, that little rope on the ceiling was the gateway to my reader’s heart. The roof was slanted, and on the sides, my mom had made curtains to hide all sorts...

🗓️ 22 to 28 june The weeknotes are back! I was sitting down to edit my now page, looked for my notes for it, and found some old weeknotes instead. I realised I missed some parts of it, so here we go again :D favourite thing this week Such a great talk with my ergo therapist. She was so kind and showed me a great new...

I've found this just now, among other things I wrote years and years ago for a memoir class. I loved to read it again and thought I'd share it :) --- I'm going to write about someone I don’t really remember a lot about, but I am so proud to have someone like her in the family tree, that I have to write about her. I...

On my miniblog I've documented my new routine of doing a minimum of 10 minutes of exercise a day. I haven't done my ten minutes yesterday and today doesn't look good either. Now i wrote that down, I could feel shame or disappointment. Just this decision to hit pause makes me realise I've truly let go of the...

James of the Coffee blog fame made a fun quiz, and I expected to know the result. It surprised me with a second one 😀 You are a Author You love writing and have a growing backlog of posts on your website! Words are your best friend and you're always thinking about what to write next. You are also a Explorer To you, the...

Yesterday I posted this on Mastodon (post link) I'm building a new habit here on Mastodon: instead of liking, I try to reply to at least 3 posts, especially on those that don't have comments yet and I love it. It's so much more personal! and boy, the response was overwhelming, at one point it took me half an hour to...

As I've written about before (over here and here for instance) I have low energy levels and that has kept me from cleaning the house the way I would like. Today, I added a new practice that is is a way to clean the house that doesn't cost me a lot of energy makes me feel so meditative If you've read the title you know...

This morning in yin yoga I looked up at my left arm My mind focused on the asana Suddenly distracted by a thought "My goodness, look at those wrinkles!" A smile bloomed on my breath Wrapped my judgement in joy My heart whispered into relaxation "How blessed am I to be here To find myself in my yoga"

This day I haven't done any big things, just explored near the hotel when I arrived. I did take some pictures along the way, I may post them on Mastodon :) All these were taken with a Campsnap Pro
