Who are you?

“Do the things you used to talk about doing but never did. Know when to let go and when to hold on tight. Stop rushing. Don't be intimidated to say it like it is. Stop apologizing all the time. Learn to say no, so your yes has some oomph. Spend time with the friends who lift you up, and cut loose the ones who bring you down. Stop giving your power away. Be more concerned with being interested than being interesting. Be old enough to appreciate your freedom, and young enough to enjoy it. Finally, know who you are.”

Kristin Armstrong 

"Walk with the dreamers,
the believers,
the courageous,
the cheerful,
the planners,
the doers,
the successful people with their head in the clouds
and their feet on the ground.
Let their spirit ignite a fire within you to leave this world better than you found it."

Wilferd A. Peterson

Wonder Woman

A few months back, the doctor diagnosed me a burnout. I was on denial so he said "do you think you are a super woman?"

I was - clearly - not myself. If I were, I would have given the below answer.

Hooray to humor!!!!!

How long ago have you looked at the clouds, the trees, the streams?

"We need nature not just for physical health but – as importantly – for sanity. No week should be counted complete if it does not include one or two minutes given over to the clouds, the trees and the streams: emissaries of perspective, patience and introspection."  

Beautiful.

inside your hug.

Unstoppable

As a girl, I have always opposed to those trying to limit me by gender. You may think there weren't much but the small little things: stories, sayings "you can't do that because you're a girl" or "you have to do that because you are a girl". 

My family was quite good on me. I could always express. And I did it always, yes, with the help of family and friends but I've always did it. 

And now, that I have a boy and a girl, I find it is my responsibility to raise them without this prejudice. Both of them. He, not to insult girls, or to think they are limited. She, not to allow anyone to limit her.

Moody? Me? What a siliness!

That's why I love to hug trees

Advice from a tree, by Ilam Shamir:

Dear friend,

Stand tall and proud

Sink your roots deeply into the earth

Reflect the light of your true nature

Think long term

Go out on a limb

Remember your place among all living beings

Embrace with joy the changing seasons

For each yields its own abundance

The energy and birth of spring

The growth and contentment of summer

The wisdom to let go the leaves in the fall

The rest and quiet renewal of winter

Feel the wind and the sun

And delight in their presence

Look up at the moon that shines down upon you

And the mystery of stars at night

Seek nourishment from the good things of life

Simple pleasures

Earth, fresh air, light

Be content with your natural beauty

Drink plenty of water

Let your limbs sway and dance in the breezes

Be flexible

Remember your roots

Enjoy the view!
