I Was Social!

During this time we are all hermits, unless you have gone back to work. I have been home for goodness knows how long and the other day I spoiled myself and my mom to a meal from our favorite local coffee shop. The owner came out to deliver and we got to have a twoContinue reading “I Was Social!”

There Is Beauty.

I’m sure I have spoken about this before but it keeps popping up today. There is beauty everywhere. There is beauty in peace and in chaos. I have been in slight chaos lately, it may not seem like chaos to others but if they had to live in it I’m sure they would be ableContinue reading “There Is Beauty.”

Just Feel

So, yesterday I spoke of intuitive movement, today I would like to talk about intuitive painting. I find this a freeing activity. Once again, this is just for you, no ego is allowed in this activity. Still mind and intuitive movement. What I do first is meditate, I will lay out my tools and paintsContinue reading “Just Feel”

Move Around More!

I think it is so important to keep movement going. Your body needs movement, it helps with mental health. The mind needs to stay still and the body needs to move. Let us find that sweet spot where the two meet. Start moving around while keeping your mind still, like a walking meditation. What IContinue reading “Move Around More!”

There Is Peace

I am in a very weird state of mind at the moment and all I crave is peace. I don’t want to have to feel the stress and worry. I want to be able to breathe deep and actually feel calm. I dream of smiling and meaning it. One thing I need to remind myselfContinue reading “There Is Peace”

The Feels!

I am feeling all the emotions at the moment. Life has been tough. This past week has been tough. I will allow myself to feel the emotions and I will not bully myself. I just realized how long it has been since I posted and I thought I should probably say something, put something outContinue reading “The Feels!”

The One Where I Accept the Invitation.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a HUGE fan of Friends. I have been watching it for many many years. It has always been a big part of my life. In the episode The One With The Jellyfish, Phoebe sings a song “Sixty-Six Colors Of My Bedroom” at the end of the song,Continue reading “The One Where I Accept the Invitation.”

Writing down your dreams

I tend to have vivid dreams, I always have and lately my dreams have been very weird. There are messages hidden in our dreams I have always believed that. I can hear my mothers voice now- “write them down, if you want to find out what they mean you have to write them down, withContinue reading “Writing down your dreams”

I definitely eat my emotions.

Do you guys do this? In times like these the stress levels are through the roof. I tend to turn to food. I snack. I can snack all day long and I do know that it isn’t exactly healthy but like I have said many times before, it is okay to process and go throughContinue reading “I definitely eat my emotions.”

Time To Start Baking!

I think cake is important in a lockdown. I will be baking tomorrow. I have a few oranges that I want to use. I have a faithful lemon cake recipe that I always use, I change it constantly but I’ve settled on the recipe you will find below. I will be using oranges instead ofContinue reading “Time To Start Baking!”
