happy

birthday little boy! my sisters son is turning 3 today. i wish i could bake him a cake and dance some disco dance in the basement with him. ♥♥♥

p.s i love his smile!

little lessons of zen

 

this morning i discovered that i currently live less than five minutes from the sea. five minutes! i practically live on the beach! where have i been the past month? absentminded&preoccupied? forget that is is temporary and half my home is somewhere else- it is a DREAM COME TRUE!

walking back from the beach i met a bus driver who was chilling out in the trunk of the bus while waiting for his passengers to return and he told me ‘this is life’ and i thought to myself that these are exactly the words i needed to hear.

and yesterday a man working in a kiosk gave me the equivalent of 2 euros since i didn’t have any small change for the laundromat. i thought that was so special, his trust and the generous gesture to a stranger.

3xeveryday magic. 

goodmorning

    

tonight my bed was a battle field. between me and the mosquitoes, me and the nightmares, me and the early-bird neighbors slamming doors and running the stairs. i am not sure who was the winner. but today is a new day and here is a new favorite song.

my heart beats faster when looking at these pictures!

love to all of you. embrace life.

23-26

     

despite plucking seven kinds of flowers and doing a little ceremony on my own before going to sleep i couldn’t recall any of my dreams. but i enjoyed the focus and love which was put into it.

and finally i regained some focus in general. enough to stitch little toys filled with lavender and flax seeds. the first project in a long time which i could start and finish without letting myself get distracted by other things. a few hours of active meditation.

sådeså

(but i think i will just skip it all together)

happy midsummer to all of you! i will pluck seven kind of flowers and dream important dreams.

a little thursday

 

thursday a week ago i was still in sweden. and today i probably would have drifted away into space if there wasn’t any gravitation to keep me down. i can’t seem to focus on anything and i keep jumping between different thoughts and different actions, without ever finishing the one before. i am a little bit tired of my own company, someone would like to swap?

in between i read a little bit on this very inspiring blog in hope to find some zen somewhere.

little walk

  

these pictures where taken around 9.30 pm. the light is simply mesmerizing in sweden right now.

i love to walk on those vast, open fields. it is similar to being next to the ocean, makes me feel small in a very good way.

the wedding

       

bombastic! wouldn’t know how else to describe it. i felt a little bit like the little duckling next to all the swans, but even ducks know how to have a good time. especially when there is champagne and candy floss involved.

hey&bye

i am going to london for a wedding. for the first time in 10 (!) years i will be wearing a bra. and a pair of semi high heels. wow! wish me luck!

damn.

  

yesterday morning we woke up around 3.15 to watch the sun rise, my father and i. i haven’t experienced the swedish pre-midsummer nights in a long time. oh gorgeous!

i am amazed of how life is so very different and still the same all over the world. that is perhaps a contradiction, but a contradiction which is somewhat true.

grrrr

i can’t post pictures for some unknown, strange reason. it annoys me slightly.

love and thoughts.

the only normal people are the one's you don't know very well

yesterday i took my compost with me when i went to the bank and today i am traveling with my sourdough to sweden. nothing odd about that, right?

five

        

i ate five scoops of ice cream today. coconut/almonds, figs/walnuts, caramel cookies, cheesecake and pistachio. (i convinced myself that a ridiculous amount of sugar will do good for my cold)

five! beat that if you can!
