for 6 days straight,
carve out a moment all to yourself.
with blank book and pen in hand,
begin writing.

write and write and write.

at least 15 minutes at a time,
but as long as your thoughts
keep tumbling onto the page.

“to be mindful is to be embodied.
pay attention to the body, and the mind enters the present moment.”

~from mindfulness through movement by lee holden

 
 
over the last 18 months, since i relocated to another continent, i’ve gone through quite an upheaval.

at the end of each month, i take stock of the daily goodness i’ve encountered and share it in a facebook post. occasionally i write about it here, in my studio notes, as well. the month of march is about to come to a close, and i’m finally checking in about february.

“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”

~Marcus Tullius Cicero

Ever-aware of Cicero’s words, taking proper steps . . .

Inviting tangible soul, onto my shelves and into my life.

my crazy-wonderful italian tale has been featured in INTERNATIONAL LIVING magazine!

At the beginning of February, I decided to join in with a few women in a Facebook group I belong to and celebrate the rites of Imbolc. Imbolc (also known as Candlemas or Saint Brigid’s Day) is a Gaelic traditional festival marking the midpoint of winter, halfway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox.
