A Tiring Week

It's been a while since my last blog post. Last week has been a very tiring week. A lot of emotions swirling around and a need for clarity at this point in my life. I have felt extra tired this week, so I did not capture as much as I wanted but I'm learning to be graceful during these times.

The beginning of last week started off with a very friendly meeting with my "wood man", Lars. He's a jolly, positive, and chatty fellow. He has been such a big help to me in collecting the trees that the previous owners left behind in the garden. Lars has spent the past week working very hard cutting them into smaller pieces for my fireplace. He will deliver them tomorrow to my wood shed. It should be about 3-4 cubic meters of wood, which will help keep my house nice and warm for the coming winter.

I love how I feel more part of this small community. It was my chimney cleaner who connected me with his friend, Lars. They went to school together in the area. When Lars left for the day, he said he would call me the Princess of Long Island. How incredibly sweet and flattering. He had a very good energy that left me in a positive mood all day. It comes to show that a joyful, supportive energy goes a long way to make someone's day. A simple smile, kind words, moments of laughter here and there. It was nice feeling to feel more joy coming into my life. I truly believe that we can heal alone, but together is better in some ways. Together with humans, nature, spirit, source, art, ancestors, our community. From my own healing journey this year, I have learned there is great feeling of emotional safety that comes with leaning on these things. Safety means everything to me know. I've been in a high stress state for too long and it feels good to come down from it by being back to my roots.

Here is a little video I filmed yesterday which really captures my sleeping state that I feel was the theme all last week. I spoke with my Mum recently and she reminded me that nature is going to sleep so naturally so are we. How beautiful and true is that. She has a way with words and is also a very creative soul.

I feel like this is not a perfect blog post but I wanted to push myself to write and post anyway. I hope to speak to you tomorrow and be more active again, even though today I'm also quite sleepy. It's 9:23pm now and I will get ready for bed, put some more wood in the old fireplace to keep my bedroom warm tonight. Last night I didn't put the fire on and I was freezing. The frost has arrived and we are forecast for minus temperatures this week.

Here come some moments from this week. Beautiful sunsets, a full moon, sunshine, new friends, and setting up my art studio.

I hope you have a beautiful evening and Tuesday morning. LOTS OF LOVE ♥︎
