“Peace is the result of retraining your mind to process life as it is rather than as it should be.” Wayne dyer On New Year’s Eve, I found myself obsessing over old tradition—the one where we open our list from the year’s onset to cross out those achieved, write new ones only to put them […]
Affirm: “Whatever I need is already here, and it’s all highly for my good” I remember clearly on a Tuesday afternoon in early July, I was seated under a pine tree. I had laid down, fallen asleep and calmed off from the anger that led me to wander alone. It was a longing. Longing for […]
Welcome to the second half of the year. Make this one better! Nowadays, it is quite easy to shift focus to inessential things.

“Do not judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant” Robert Louis Stevenson. I know a place, where used to be a “farmhouse” many years ago before I was born. Though a lot has changed, the present owner understands very much how to yield from the soil he lives […]
