I wrote about the day I learnt to breathe a little more than a month ago now. And that night I journalled. And that night I asked my heart what makes it sing. And that night and for the forty-two days that have followed I've been reminded to just breathe.
The words could have been so easy to ignore, but I've been listening. I abandoned the blog {not quite expecting to be away this long!}, and reworked my to-do list to include the essentials only. In doing so, I created time. Time filled with little things {and my little people}, moments that have made my heart soar, big breaths, long exhalations and a stronger, clearer idea of where I want to go from here.
It's reminded me that the advice and wisdom we share (hello learning to breathe fully, trusting where you're at, and finding something that nourishes your mind and heart) is most certainly the advice we need.

What have you learnt this past month? What are you most grateful for? I hope your days have been happy and you've remembered to breathe xx

So glad you are following your own voice. It is always so lovely when our friend '"time" comes calling :)
ReplyDeleteIt's funny isn't it that we have to plan for time for ourselves & the things that are important. So glad that you were able to fill your time with things that have made your heart soar- definitely something to aim for.
ReplyDeleteFor me over the past month, I've learnt that my imperfect days are the norm... that there will always be endless to do lists and a home that should be tidied... but that amongst all that, it is important to set aside small snippets of time to do things I enjoy and things which I keep putting off...
ReplyDeleteAnd how lovely to have won your giveaway... will email you now xx
