een goed doel steunen is nóg leuker als je er dan ook nog zoiets moois voor terug krijgt : D heel blij met mijn nieuwe greenpeace shirt!
mocht je qi gong ook eens willen proberen: lee holden heeft hier een gratis introductie les die je kunt volgen om mee te maken wat het precies is. en hier leer je meer over de theorie.
ik hou echt van mijn korte haar… maar soms zou ik willen dat ik net zoals mensen met lang haar, even snel een knot of staart zou kunnen maken. even een dag niet veel moeite hoeven doen om er fatsoenlijk uit te zien. want het is niet altijd mutsen weer ; )
vorige week begonnen in we need your art van aimee mcnee en het is nu al goed! #aanrader
ohh kan niet wachten om de wilde wingerd die ik vandaag besteld heb, tegen de voorgevel te planten! en dan elke herfst genieten van die mooie verkleurende blaadjes <3
kun je aan de manier waarop je boeken leest halen wat voor persoon je bent? ik lees graag boeken door elkaar, het liefst ook nog 4 tegelijk. en dan krijg ik, als ik geluk heb, één boek uit... :' )
dag 3 van de 40-day mindfulness meditation training van tara brach & jack kornfield. een mooie quote uit de les: "a well-known teacher was asked to describe the modern world. he answered, “lost in thought.” de training kan ik alleen maar aanraden!
loved this post from noor response about finding a way that works for you. I'm always struggling with reading books, just like her. so this is genius!
some grandma wisdom today: "if you're not happy with the stuff you already have, what are you going to do with more of it?"
today at work a dad came in with his son and daughter (I guess around the age of 6 and 3). I commented on the girl's pink Paw Patrol Skye shirt and how cool it is. her eyes started beaming 'how could this flower lady know Skye?!' dad knew directly I had a small kid too. and I think I made the girls day :D
off to a good start with the oxford mindfulness online group meditation with a thich nhat hahn qoute: “the seed of suffering in you may be strong, but don't wait until you have no more suffering before allowing yourself to be happy.”
hay fever season is officialy opened 🤧
as you get older it's harder to do, experience 'firsts'. but today I had one: I got a kiss from a penguin! this one.
we are in a holiday park in nature and two things I noticed the first day here: a lot more birds chirping and more bright stars in the sky.
such a strange sensation every time I do qi gong: every lesson I start to yawn.
so happy with my new theme!
how good that first bath was after being sick for almost a week!
is it just a coincidence that the few times I get sick (like once a year), I always have a hairdresser appointment that I have to cancel? ; )
I have yet to find them, but would like to... does anyone know of someone who makes these: an online personal photo diary with creative photography, where photography and personal diary intertwine? it seems that it's either / or, but never and / and? it's either a personal photo diary OR a blog focussed on posting nice photography shots on a daily basis, but have nothing to do with a daily diary?
we are living next to a playground and there are A LOT of families that own a dog in this area. I should keep a tally for one day to see how many dogs come here, just for fun! and then add an extra column with ‘poops on playground’ ;’)
trying something new: the gentle way of forming a new habit: read one line a day #currentlyreading
something to remind myself of sometimes: there are 4 seasons in a cycle and it will always get better! #periodpower
thanks to my past self for pre-ordering courtney carver’s new book! i will be in my reading nook…
sometimes you have to stop to look at how beautiful the sunlights hits
how the 2021 remastered version of caring is creepy gives me 70s vibes. love it!
the binging continues: loving shitt's creek season 3!
by the way... did I ever share the meaning of the name of my blog, yorokobi?
喜び (よろこび, Yorokobi)
Meaning: Yorokobi translates to “joy” or “delight.” It signifies a more intense, often momentary happiness than shiawase. People use this term to express feelings of great pleasure or joy.
checking up on my winter list and slowly starting to collect things for my spring goals. i've started this seasonal routine last year, and it's the best way (for me) to actually get them done.
2024 was the year that I started making a lot of puzzles (I finished 13 puzzles). and since then it is my number one activity to relax! nice to read that this also has so many benefits!
after 17 years, still such a good song: I Will Possess Your Heart! how it starts soft and keeps on rippling along like a river stream, and builds up and builds up. love it!
making a puzzle is meditation ♥
one of the best things in life: seeing a kid eating their favorite food and really enjoying it. fully - and only - concentrating on the food in front of them, getting every last piece of it and eyes closed to taste better. they are in another universe, I'm sure of it ; ) pure mindfulness.
I love how the daughter calls tomorrow ‘the second day’ and the day after tomorrow ‘the third day’ : D
so nice that we got a free treat from lush, the magic bus! something that I always liked while working or shopping there, the generosity and care for their customers ♥ you can always feel that!
oh and by the way, getting back to this post earlier today: I'm loving the new opera! I feel that this is just the thing that will help me to finally make mindfulness/breathing into a habit!
I knew there was a reason why I love lying on the floor (not that I do that a lot). after reading this post, I'm motivated to make it into a week challenge and see what it does?
reading brad frost's post about the new opera air browser today. it made me curious to try, they say this about it: it's built around the concept of mindfulness. if you also want to try, check it out here.
after trying matcha every morning for some days now.. I'm getting the impression that it's making me sleepy!? sleepy like; I really have to take a nap sleepy, woahh.
treated myself to some new lush products. can't wait to try the salt water soother, magnesium bath bomb! winter is the perfect time to take care of myself in this way, I think.
yesterday they broke down one of the slides on the playground. wonder if and what they will build on that spot now?
how happy a new pair of house slippers can make me : D
