Walk the line

Coming into November, I realize how exhausting these last couple of months have been.

I have taken a small break, hoping it’d help me to feel reinvigorated.

It hasn’t.

As I’m pottering around my house, looking for the next task to cross off my “to do list” ,I can hear my body telling me to lay down and stop.

But how can I?

Defying Gravity

As we fast approach the end of this year, I can’t help thinking that it’ll be a long time before we can forget 2015.

It will definitely be a year to remember, for both good and bad reasons.

While I ease myself through the quieter energy brought by the Autumn, I notice how exhausted I am and I wish I could just fall in a very long sleep to get all my strength back.

The little things

The last couple weeks have been slightly challenging.

And when I say challenging, I try to sound very dignified and “all together”.

Truth is, I have been feeling time & time again almost like being pushed on my knees by a force way above myself.

5 angry minutes

Last week was a bad one.

And I mean BAD.

So bad in fact that I almost knocked someone over on the tube without any remorse.

“Excuse me, do you realize you are actually breathing all over my face? Move!!”

Daily Rituals

I recently wrote about the importance of starting your day in a meaningful way.

Today I want to reiterate the importance of having small, daily routines which will keep you grounded and open during the day. 

Liebster Award

I’m what you could call a novice within the blogging world and am still trying to figure out what the heck I’m doing firstly, and secondly if my English makes any sense at all as Italian is my mother tongue.

Me being me, I had to get my acceptance speech ready without even knowing what this was all about! I thought I was nominated for some sort of Blogging Oscar, which would have turned me into a Pulitzer winner overnight!

Just an ordinary girl.

We’ve been told we could be special.

We’ve been told only the special ones could stand out in the crowd and make it big in life.

And so we tried and tried.

We went to such a length to prove to the whole world of our worth, to show how much better we are than everybody else.

And in the process we lost ourselves.

Waiting to Exhale

These are wild times.

They are so wild, in fact, that it looks like we are all going around stumbling and mumbling, making very little sense of how we choose to move through our days.

Feel your dreams (Part 2)

After posting Feel your dreams (Part 1) I have been asked on more that one occasion if I’m a “Master thinker” and if all my dreams do come true at the mere blink of an eye.

While I’m still looking for the perfect magic wand after the last one I bought was total rubbish and wouldn’t even turn doves into rabbits, I must admit that questions like these never fail to amuse me!

Kings of pain

There was a time when life was easier, or at least appeared to be so.

Then it all changed.

I’m not quite sure when, but it did.

We  were all suddenly left bare in front of our limitations, of whatever never really worked but somehow was disguised by appearances, by habits and by human ability to pile up all the crap somewhere deep inside where hopefully it’ll stay ’till our last breath.
