A Mix of Emotions

Hello friends,

I've been deeply affected by the tree cutting around my house. The views from my home look much different now. I did some investigating and found out more about what is happening. I will talk more about this in a future YouTube video.

Today I saw my first moose! I was walking from the kitchen the living room and spotted it walking across the field. I ran up and down the stairs in a frenzy trying to find my camera. I felt extreme happiness and then a deep sadness seeing not one but two moose walking through the destroyed parts of the forest. Even writing things brings an ache to my stomach. I just feel so sad about this. I did find out who is responsible and wrote to them asking if they can leave the remaining trees to help the local wildlife flourish. I will tell you about this in the video.

I can't believe it's already September. How the time is flying. This Summer went by in a blink of an eye. As the days are getting shorter I welcome the darkness. I love spending the time in-between seasons reflecting. I feel like I have given so much energy this Summer toward the outside world; my house, friends, work.

I see Autumn as a time to come back to myself. Back to my inner light. A time of strength through gentleness, vulnerability, and simplicity. A time to let go. I welcome you Autumn.

Tender hugs to you this evening,

Annika ♥︎
