A little Easter letter

I am curious - are you good at allowing yourself to rest? Not just pausing from work for a couple of days but really land, feel, be present and be in the moment you're in? Or maybe you need to work this Easter? Or travel? Whatever you are doing my hope for you is that you at least find some pockets of time just for you, doing what you love and what nourishes you ✨

I'm writing this from Sweden where I'm spending some lazy days with my family and it feels so good to slow down a little 🥰 I've also been sitting quite a lot in front of my mac working on a new program that I can't wait to share with you, but that one takes time 😅 but oh, I am really enjoying the process of creating. I have also been taking long walks in nature, breathing, sipping ceremonial cacao in the sun, knitting, fixing in my garden, decluttering at home, journaling and just being present with the ones around me.

What the animals on my walk had to say

On one of my walks I met my first ever viper (hoggorm), laying there with the sick sack pattern, totally melting in with nature (except that he/she had his pink mouth fully open totally prepared to attack me 😅😂🙈) and on another walk a blackbird flew just in front of me. And when I see wild animals like that I always look up "what is the spiritual meaning of xx", because I believe that if we are awake enough to see them, animals carry a message, so this is what I got:

The hoggorm - transformation and power, shedding what no longer serves you and stepping forward with full presence. Set clear boundaries and speak your truth, even when it feels uncomfortable 🐍

The blackbird - trust what you already know, the answers are already inside you. A new opportunity is on its way and you are more ready than you think ❤️‍🔥

Are you like me and look up what message animals are bringing to you? Leave a comment below - I would genuinely love to know 🥰

One year of Tiny Letters

Another thing, did you know I started a podcast one year ago this Easter? I called it Tiny Letters - just like these emails I send every week - and writing this around the same time one year later feels like the most beautiful full circle 😄🎙️ So, if you want something nice to listen to and breathe a little - come find the podcast there 👉🏼 [Tiny Letters on Spotify]

Happy full moon

Oh, and I almost forgot - happy full moon! Tonight's full moon is called the Pink Moon, named after the first wildflowers of spring and this full moon is in Libra (this is my moon 🥹♎️) and Libra is the sign of balance, beauty and partnership - inviting us to reflect on our relationships and what we truly value. So this is the time to release what no longer serves you and make space for what is coming 🌱

I hope wherever you are and whatever you're doing this Easter feels good in your body - enjoy these days 🐣🪺🐰
