spring

I’ve heard it said that the violence of spring is a better way to describe the season of waking + blooming + growing. That it is a process that is hard and difficult and,…

It’s not going good for me, y’all. I totally thought I would do better after having to cram 2 weeks into one post in my last weekly update. Instead, things have completely gone in…

And just like that… two weeks have gone by. Honestly, so much has changed during these two weeks – both big + small things. Mostly, though, just everyday things. Still… it has flown by…

Finally I am squeezing in some time to document + write about last week. But, I guess that the lateness of this post is to be expected since it was my first week back…

I don’t know. Maybe every week I feel differently at the end of the week than the beginning of the week. But, this week I definitely feel that way. I feel as if I’ve…

Life is moving fast these days. And I’m trying my best to stay slow. We are most definitely in transition mode over here. I am so excited about our future move. On the other…

Welcome to magical May. This weekend marks the celebration of the ancient festival of Beltane + our gateway to summer! The days + months of 2021 are ticking by quickly as we journey through the seasons…

The equinox has passed now, we’ve entered the season of the priestess, and the energy that I feel right inspires me to emerge from everything that has been. Not only to leave the dark,…

We were made for a time like this. Things are changing. A shift has occurred. And we are embarking on a new phase. My mind, my soul, my spirit can hardly keep up. I…

I cannot seem to catch up with these posts. I keep thinking I’m going to get two done in one weekend, but it ain’t happening. I am still a week behind, so this post…

It’s not that things have been lighter this week, but somehow it’s felt lighter. The news is still grim. Covid-19 diagnoses and deaths continue to grow around the world. Most of us are all…

I feel like I’ve lived a year in a week. And the only way I can document it is to go through it day by day. It’s just so much to process. And it’s…

It’s the end of my 3rd week of working from home + I have now created a new category for my blog. “Corona Diaries“. That’s right, I am officially calling these weekly posts about…

It’s week two of working from home + a month or so into the pandemic. I can’t believe that that sentence is even reality. How is this the world we are living in? Whether…

Week one of me working from home is over + I am feeling all the feels. It’s like I’m spinning + settled all at the same time. So, once again, I turn to this…

I was spot on last week when I said this in a blog post on closing out January: Blessings as you settle into the new year, sweet soul. Little did I know how right…

I’ve been tweaking + rewriting + updating my website for a couple of weeks now. But, I’ve really spent some time this spring staycation aligning it with my soul work. I’ve had the gift…

Mid-April. What the heck? Just when I think that things are going to drag on, time keeps right on flying by. And suddenly I find myself at the beginning of my long-long-looooong-awaited Easter/Spring break.…

A couple of posts ago, in the beginning of the month, I shared a post that touched on all of the powerful spiritual energy that was swirling around. Because of that energy, there are…

March is here with all her wild, mystical, powerful, energetic shifts. It is a season of change, and no matter where we live, we will be moving through an equinox. One of the best…

Spring has crept up on me this year. How is it possible that it is already mid-late March? How did that happen? I’ve been basking in the winter season lately and really just letting…

Every new moon brings us a chance to begin again. But, there’s something about this one, this weekend, that feels extra special new. Perhaps it’s the vernal/autumnal equinox coming up in a few days.…

As I was sitting in my lawn chair this past weekend, sunning + sipping on some wine. (That’s right. You read that correctly. Sunshine + sitting outside in Sweden!! Spring may have actually finally…

When I started this Lenten series 4 weeks ago, I decided on a key word for each week: Week 1: ACCEPTANCE Week 2: SOLITUDE/SILENCE Week 3: GROUNDING Week 4: CLEANSE Week 5: JUSTICE Week 6: COMMITMENT Week 7: TRANSFORMATION Up until…

Though there is snow on the ground, I can feel it in the air. Spring. It is not here yet, nor will it be soon, but it is as if I can feel the…

hello! and happy may day! so, this week has been exciting and fun. and i have a ton of stuff to share with you! first off… the weather has been all over the place. sunshine,…

i’ve been staring at this cursor on my computer screen for i don’t know how long. the reason? i plugged in my headphones, opened up spotify, and searched for “the breakfast club” soundtrack (i…

how do you feel about eating alone? do you do it? do you like it? do you feel like a loser or ashamed or weird if you go and sit somewhere by yourself for a…

sunday, midday, and i’m on the sofa with my third (!) cup of coffee. the sun is streaming in, the entire apartment is bright and light and airy. oh how i love it here. our…

hey you guys! it’s spring up here in the northern hemisphere! or… not. the date says that it is spring. the weather? not so much. it’s trying to be spring here in sweden, but…

another month is gone, and we are practically halfway through 2015. that blows my freaking mind. it’s gonna be great to have this little chronicle of one day of regular life from every month,…

i’m gonna cheat a tiny little bit. most of my photos are from yesterday, the 10th, but i am also gonna sneak in a photo or two from saturday. so, let’s call it a…

happy may day, friends! we survived valborg (see the post the other day to find out what valborg is) and had a great day! the weather people forecasted a crappy day of on +…

there are so many fun traditions swirling around this time of year… we are halfway through spring and headed straight towards summer. and, here in sweden, that is serious business. the last of april…

hello lovelies! happy tuesday to you, wherever you are. unfortunately, as the beautiful swedish sun is shining, i find myself laying under a blanket on the sofa at home this afternoon feeling puny + yucky.…

I had this feeling of letting go. On Saturday, I sat on the floor, meditating, and I felt that it was time to let go of Asheville. Not that Asheville is not still the…

you know, spring in sweden is a little bit all over the place. rain, snow, and sometimes sunshine. – i am sure many of you experience the same where you live.  it’s not usually…

sunday at home monday moments of peace tuesday: strategizing, enjoying the sun, knocking on doors to create opportunities, celebrating st. paddy’s day with my love wednesday: creating my routine thursday: feeling. so. much. inspiration. …

have you being feeling a little bit “off” lately? or have you been feeling some crazy energy swirling all around you – causing you to be inspired, overwhelmed, confused, or out of balance –…

i’ve spent the afternoon in a café. sipping on chai latte, watching people going by, listening to my march playlist, thinking about my place in this world. it’s gorgeous out today. the sky is…

i’m obsessed with thinking about spring. when the calendar clicks to march, my brain clicks to spring. to new life. to new birth. to new chances. to new everything. but, i wonder, if i…

as i sit at the kitchen table, blogging this morning, sipping on coffee brewed from our brand new, very own coffee maker (more on that in another post!), the wind is whipping like a…

this morning, i decided that i wanted to be in the middle of trees. sometimes, i just get some kind of craving to be lost in the middle of a forest. alone and quiet.…

well, folks. i think it’s time to retire the ole sensory overload title. i’m not retiring the category, though. so, you can always click on the tab at the top of the page that…

in our little home, we had a quiet and beautiful easter sunday. after dreary, cold rain on friday & saturday… accompanied with a bit of pensive, contemplative moments (read about it here), easter sunday…

last friday i walked into the cathedral known as the basilica of st. lawrence in downtown asheville ready to spend an hour or so in quiet. it was the first day i had been there…

think spring!! amazingly, mother nature decided that she’d show us a taste of late spring/early summer up here in the north carolina mountains last week. trees have begun blooming, grass is getting greener, and…

sometime last week i mention to my love that i thought we should “redo” our balcony. what i meant was that, now that it is april, it’s time to get our balcony all ready…
