You have a choice

Friday, February 15th, 2013

I thought I’d share this video from HugNation with you all. It resonates deeply with me. It’s about choices. Not only on the thoughts you think, how you act against others and in certain situations etc. But what you answer and inevitably the choice you make in where you put your energy. Towards the negative or towards the positive, or just staying on your own true path. Refusing to be interrupted. I dig it. There is a lesson here. Choose love and focus your energy on the right things, for you.

Giftwrapping

Wednesday, December 19th, 2012

Since I was quite busy last year and kind of missed the whole Christmas build up with DIY projects and hardly enough time to either decorate, buy Christmas presents nor enjoy the season. I’ve made a point of having a few moments over every now and then to enjoy myself this year. My second Christmas in Sweden.

I’m doing a half homemade and half bought mix of Christmas hampers and small gifts this year. Since I don’t have the time right now to do my own gift bags I opted for the cellophane options. Both for my vegan candy and for the gift hampers I’m putting together.

Super Soul Sunday

I have a hot tip for you, Oprah has her own network, called OWN where she broadcasts a show called Super Soul Sunday – it’s food for your soul. Last Sunday she rounded up Mastin Kipp , Marie Forleo and Gabrielle Bernstein called the “Next-Generation Spiritual Thinkers“.

In this episode they discuss their personal journeys, some of the went from rock bottom to success, to the power of gratitude but also the yearning for something more, not just a job, but a desire to make a difference to the world, to perform meaningful service – within 20 something women.

I though this was really powerful and lovely to watch.I hope you do too.
