visited an art museum this past weekend and it always amazes me what humans can create. the technique, the dedication, the time it must have taken for these artists to express their ideas, thoughts, struggles, inspirations, & joys through their art. maybe not all of our creations will end up in a museum, but how beautiful it is to create, whatever it may be for you. ✨

there’s nothing a little bit of embodied movement and connecting to your breath can’t fix. happy Friday! 🌀🌸✨🤍

happy Thursday ☕️

we left Spain, now in France, and we found a Japanese garden in the middle of the city. 🍄🌿🌞

thankful for housesits like this one in Spain. a small Spanish village in the mountains, a cozy home to live in, and sweet kitties to cuddle. 🤍

sunlight. moonlight. water. air. medicine for the bones, the soul, the mind, and the heart. a moment to be. to breathe. to be grateful.

sitting in nature, overflowing with gratitude, & feeling held by Mother Earth. 🌸🦋🌿

I remember sitting by Rio Chirripo in Costa Rica and having this moment. I imagined myself as just one water particle in the river, floating along in the river, following the flow until I reached the ocean. but then I asked myself, “What if I’m not separate from the whole? What if I am the river, not just a particle?”. this thought has stuck with me since then and I find it so profound. I and the world are not separate. you and me are not separate. we are one. 🦋 spending time in nature is so valuable, not only for our health, but for our souls. nature is the best teacher. go sit with her for a while and I promise you, she will teach you something new.

in just a little over a month, we will be spending 3 months in Africa and I’ve started spending time learning Amharic. guess which country speaks Amharic…🇪🇹

settling in quite nicely to our new housesit in Spain. 🇪🇸 housesitting has become such a huge blessing. and it’s even better when you get to care for such cute pups. 🐶

something I’ve learned from just a couple days in Morocco… the people here are so kind. so warm. they have great smiles. and they cook really, really good food.

oh what a gift it is to be alive. to walk amongst the trees, swim in water, observe life all around. to realize that we are all connected.

missing having a ukulele to play around with 🎶🦋

nature & the ocean make me really happy. oh, and that hill behind me is Spain. kinda cool.

it’s a slow Sunday so decided to make a yummy soup using all organic, locally grown vegetables. nothing makes my heart happier than spending time in the kitchen, being present in the process, & enjoying the fruits of my labor after it’s all said and done. ❣️

made a raw beet & carrot salad made with organic, local ingredients. 🫜🥕 eating colorful food is my favorite.

settling into life in the Portuguese countryside with these two pups. waking up to the sunlight, hearing the birds chirping, feeling the freshness of the air is life giving. the slow life is the life for me. 🤍
