Maybe I should just start at the beginning. In the previous blog, you read that I made a mess of things with all the busyness, and the structure was far from perfect. Read it again if you have no idea what I'm talking about. Writing that blog really made it clear to me that, above all, I lack structure. In this blog all about my 'trial' with structure and I'll tell you if it's paying off for me.
Delicious! A new year is just around the corner. Looking back is not really my thing, but starting a new year fresh is blissful for me. But I start with a problem....
I sit next to my little Christmas tree at my studio. As I look outside, wet snow pours from the skylight. I ponder for a moment.
Autumn is in full swing, probably the busiest time of the year for many people. At least for me it is! So how do I make sure I can keep living 'slow'. That I consciously move with the seasons, take good care of myself and of course enjoy all the cosiness? In this blog, I will take you through my attempts that did not work (failures) and I have a few tips that have since worked for me!
This question is number one by far. I get it weekly, sometimes daily! The problem is, I never have a 'ready-made' answer. So time to tell you more about my inspiration in a blog!
Autumn is just around the corner, if you look closely you will already notice it in nature! After the peaks of summer, autumn is the time to let go. For trees literally, but for us humans it is sometimes a bit more nuanced. What am I letting go of this autumn? I tell you all about it in this blog.
I'm better, or am I? My life has changed a lot. This shot through my mind as I was brooding on a new blog. It only now seems to dawn on me how much my life has changed. It is sometimes confusing: does it mean that I am 'better' or just that I have adapted my life to cope? I invariably start believing in the first option. Is it true?
Cosy summer story Imagine opening the door of a cosy cottage. Totally your cottage! You step inside and it smells deliciously of freshly baked cake. The garden doors are open and the chickens scratch happily in the grass. You take a deep breath, the atmosphere in the cottage is cosy, just what you like. You find piles of books, your favourite subjects! The kitchen shelves are filled with stock pots. A big bowl of strawberries is on the table and tea is kept warm on a tea light. Time to relax! But is this really your story?
