A few things that have supported me this week…
:: lots of walks…the crisp, autumn air (finally!)…the leaves, the breeze
:: meditation
:: lighting candles…at my desk, during meals
:: soup…I am craving soups of all kinds
:: a good, long chat with a good friend…(and we had soup)
:: my daughter made me a ‘Creative Flow’ potion
:: getting to bed on time
:: writing in the morning
:: clipping the hydrangea and bringing it indoors
:: making lemon pancakes for the kids…because making something they love makes me happy
:: sweet potatoes…I’ve been on a bit of a kick
:: a new knitting project
What about you? What felt good for you this week, or lately?
I’d love suggestions for ways we can all support ourselves…
Sending a little love your way, m

Sunshine…. not sure it’s what we should have but I’m drinking it in, the pumpkins & squash on our table…not sure if I can eat them now they’re such friends, feelings of confidence in who I am now but then not knowing (yet) where to go with that, an amazing book about trees, listening to Tom Odel on repeat <3
I do like that your pumpkins and squash feel like friends :) I’m happy for the comfort of all of this. xo

We *finally* got a long-awaited cold front and it feels more like fall now–opened up the house today to let the breeze in and it felt amazing.
Good books–currently reading The Good Neighbor: The Life and Work of Fred Rogers. He’s one of my role models and learning more about him makes me happy.
And a brace for my hand is providing literal support–hopefully resting/healing my thumb/tendons will let me knit (and lots of other things) again soon!
I loved reading these, Helena. I’m so grateful that the colder, fall air has finally moved in here too. And Mr. Rogers…he was a such a good man, wasn’t he? As for the literal support of your brace…hooray! I hope it helps the healing!
Travelling! Sunshine and autumn colours all the way.
So glad you have these things in your life right now!
Pilates! I’ve gotten in the habit of doing 15 minutes of Pilates and 15 minutes of meditation each morning. I feel so much better, knowing I’m looking after my health. xoxo
I love both of those too, Grace! xo
I know for sure it was the potion that held you strong. I have been energized by the cold weather and am thinking up all the creative ideas that I want to do! I love this time of year.
Must’ve been ;)
And YES to the re-energizing cold weather! I love it too!
