New year, same me

Slow down. Listen. Wonder. Wander. See the beauty and the magic. Embrace the divine wilderness of your heart and soul. You are no less than the stars and moon.

Dear Santa, all i want for Christmas is to be pain free ❄

December. The month where we are able to go crazy turning our houses into winter wonderlands, splurge on Christmas presents, eat to our hearts content and only have to deal with the consequences when the New year welcomes us with open arms.

Bring back my sanity!

Life is tough my darling but so are you!

Almost a year ago now I was working 40+ hours a week running here there and everywhere to get things done and spent my days off resting for the busy days ahead.
