Feeling super grateful + blessed on this cozy, aut

Feeling super grateful + blessed on this cozy, autumn day. No special reason, just every single reason.

I’m back in Norrköping today + reflecting a bit on just how right this move was for us. We’ve said that countless times since the summer… but it feels more true as the seasons pass.

And the inspiration I felt in Stockholm yesterday was simply heightened by the every day slow, inspiring, grounding, creative, anchoring, alive energy that I feel here in our new home.

Rediscovering + recommitting to my sense of a stable, intentional, fully-present way of life is creating new ideas, dreams, and opportunities for expanding my soul + reinventing how I want to live.

Learning to trust the unfolding of life, the rhythms of nature, the changing of the seasons… even in the face of hardship + disappointment… makes living from my soul a reality.

And, slowly, I find the that contemplative + mystical life, that I always been called to, has already become my way.

An “in the moment” post!!

I’ve landed in Stockholm for the day + it’s gonna be an epic day of pure inspiration. (First time here since January 2020!!) Expect tons of photos. Like… tons. (Mostly in IG stories, I think + then later on my blog).

Oh, and I’ve got to get some writing done, too, of course! ✌🏼

Here’s a little snap from Saturday that will alw

Here’s a little snap from Saturday that will always take me back to a cozy October day spent with my love. I’ve been holding onto it in my drafts feed for 2 days. Why do I do that? Hold onto a photo?

I mean, I have so many photos in my drafts here on IG. Why do I create them + then save them? Why not share them immediately? Oh if you only knew how many don’t ever get shared…

I literally have no idea why I do this. Do I think it’ll be too much? I mean, I post things mostly for my own documentation, so I don’t really care what anyone else thinks. Yet, my drafts feed is still so full.

I’ve just got to stop letting my photos end up in my drafts.

There’s something about publishing that is exciting + inspiring. IG Stories is fun, but it’s not photographs. I love the art of creating a photo gallery.

The thing is, and this may sound snobby, but I don’t mean it that way… I love to see my own feed. It makes me happy. The memories. The moments. The feelings. To capture them + gather them here.

So, what am I gonna do about this? How can I start sharing again?

I really am going to try to challenge myself to post in the moment more. Not just save them all so my drafts feed is full. I need to dare myself to post a photo a day again.

It’s time to express myself with wild abandon - and perhaps it’s time for me to create a photo challenge for November! 😁

The mood of this October is inspiring me so much that I can barely keep up. We’re only a week in + I’ve taken hundreds of photos, basked in nature’s wonder, written two blog posts, created a whole new newsletter, and I am currently working on a year-long, nature-based, weekly gathering/community offering that I think I’m going to call The Sunday Space.

If you’re at all interested in what I’m doing, or, more importantly, if you’re seeking a way to slow your life down + find a way to move through your days with more mindful intention then:

The first weekend in October was exactly as it sho

The first weekend in October was exactly as it should be. Dark, gray, cozy, rainy, and melancholic, with just a teeny bit of spooky thrown in. (Just look at that house!) 👻

Spent time under blankets at home, eating good food, walking in the rain, surrounded by candlelight, meditating, drinking coffee, talking for hours at the dining table, resting, and trying to accept the mystical, unknowable things of life.

Feeling nostalgic, disappointed, sad, comforted, calm, and content, frustrated, and inspired all at once.

These are some of the mysteries of life: How it can be everything all at once. How releasing + letting go makes room for rebirth + growth.

But October helps me accept, understand, and surrender to it all.

Wishing you a deep, magical new moon week, lovelies!
