WHAT MARCH HAS BROUGHT

Hello my lovelies!
How are you?
Hope the end of March is leaving you with a feel of hope, creativity and a good desire for the new to come.

My March has been quite nice and although the weather could have been brighter, it was a better and worth it job to keep brighter myself πŸ˜‰








March around here brought a few different things, the end of the cardigan I was knitting for my girl, purple flowers with the new season which we have just started, rocking pools adventures. .. but the most special and important thing was Ilianna's 5th birthday. ..

Five years!!!!!!!
What???
Where did the time go? 😯
I just can't believe that she is already 5.
When I look at her i cannot see a trace of baby anymore, just a girl who is growing too fast, a beautiful, strong  girl with a strong personality as well, who so far has taught me a few life lessons which have made a positive impact in my life.
I like to observe her when she is not aware of it, I love to watch how she plays differents games just by using her imagination, how explores her body discovering new different ways to jump higher, run faster or speak louder. ..
It is a beautiful and important adventure for me to allow her to be free to discover the world at her pace and rhythm, so is for that that we have decided to home school her and thus she is free to find her way through life. We of course will respect any future decision she might take about this, but one thing is very important and clear for us, if she wants to go to school we will try and find a more respectful one that the mainstream system offers. At the moment she is very young so there is no need for rushing things, just enjoy and play a lot.

 I have never being the most patient person in the world but I often found myself slowing down my rhythm so I can allow her to deal with her emotions.
I am not the best mother of the world neither, but only the Great Spirit and the Goddess know how hard do I try every day to be the best for her.
And i fail, I certainly do and I cry as well but then I forgive myself, because through my bad moments and vulnerability I allow her to see what life is all about.

So yes, five years ago my body was opened up to welcome Earth side this beautiful soul who became my daughter making me feel the most grateful person in the world with such an honour. 

And the light of a beautiful Sunset leaves me with a deep feeling of gratitude for the tribe that together, we are creating.
Because we are far from perfect, but we try our best to be always nice, honest and kind to ourselves and others.

How has been your March so far?

See you all very soon 😘

Keep dreaming πŸ’œ

TREES

Hi lovelies!
How are you?
Do you love trees?





I do love them, I feel always comfortable when I am  around big, old trees. They are majestic creatures with a lot of wisdom.
I am in fact, a tree hugger and I love to sit close to them to read or just to feel their presence. 

Science has in fact confirmed that hugging trees can beneficially affect human health by altering vibrational frequency, read more

When I was little I found myself very often dreaming about living inside a tree, I used to imagine how I would decorate it and how warm and comfy it would be living in it.
I still sometimes dream about it πŸ˜‰


A few years back I read a book that really made an impact on me, it was obviously about trees and a woman who risked her life to defend their rights.

So yes, I do love trees and I need to have them around me as often as possible.
There isn't a time when I go for a walk and I don't find a tree to take a photo of, obviously now it's easier with our smart phones 😊
Hope you enjoy the photos I have shared here, the five at the beginning are all taken by me.

Let me know about how you feel when you are around our lovely friends 🌳

Have a lovely weekend!

See you soon

Luisa xoxo

IT'S THE END OF THE WINTER?

Hi lovely people!
Are you starting to feel the Spring in the air?
I am, and despite all these grey days that we are having around here,the increase of light in the day it's helping me to keep positive and hopeful. 

I love daffodils, they are a blessing and a hope for longer and warmer days 😊

And with the hope of the near Spring it comes with a lot of hope for our dreams to come true.
All those seeds that patiently and full of faith we planted during the cold and dark months of Winter are trying now  to find their way out, are we gonna be able to find our way too?

Kind of busy around here. ..

Exploring the rockpools πŸ˜„

The magic of a rainbow 🌈

Some view. .. πŸ’™

A treat for me. .. 😏


So we have been exploring, painting, discovering, creating. .. 
Having seaside time has done me good, the energy of the sea it's very good for removing negative energies and it gives you a great feeling of refreshing and clear perspective on everything, don't you think? and I am needing some of that so, very grateful for those moments close to the sea.
It is always a pleasure and although I miss the Mediterranean sea (it's where I was born) the sea here in the Uk does inspires me, maybe in a different way but it does makes me feel good and at the end of the day that is what matters, isn't it?

And one thing that I love it's yarn, so I am playing with the idea of a cardigan for myself. 
I am not an expert at all (trying to be one some day) 
But I do love yarn and needles and believe it or not I have been knitting and crocheting for years, I suppose I have never really believe in my ability to become an expert, but I am determined to believe in myself and my ability to become an expert on anything I enjoy doing so. .. 

I am following a pattern that comes with the last issue of Simply Crochet magazine but in case you could be interested in it, the pattern can be found on Ravelry 

What do you enjoy doing?
You can let me know in the comments below if you want, I will be more than happy to get to know a bit about you 😊


It is not how we live in the light
that enlightens us,
it is how we live in the dark.

So much love πŸ’—
Be very happy!!

THE WILD. ...

Hi everyone, how are you feeling?
Are you feeling the energy of the last Dark Moon?
The eclipse. ..?
There is quite a lot going on these days and one way or another we are feeling it, I really hope you are aware of your feelings, your pains, emotions, tears, laughter. ..
You might feel like everything is out of balance, out of control and making no sense at all 😱
Just let it be, allow yourself to lose control, to not make sense at all, allow yourself to feel like you are crazy, broken and lost. .. why not?
Go to the underworld and find and face your fears, sorrows, hidden shadows. ..


Face them, embrace them and become a whole being.
Sometimes we need to metaphorically die in our trip to the underworld, bury all of those aspects of ourselves  that does not serve us anymore.
You might want to leave behind the tame girl who always wanted to please everyone else leaving herself always the last, you might wanna get rid as well of that disgusting reflection that every mirror gave to you every time you looked, and you are leaving behind you all those horrible words you used to say to yourself as they don't define you anymore.
Leave behind who you pretended to be, you are not that anymore as you have now faced all the darkness in yourself.
And you have buried and burnt to ashes what you didn't want anymore, all what was making you prisoner of your own life, slave of the "good manners".


These days I have been feeling rather emotional and teary, with a deep and strong call to the wild so I have been trying to feel it all and not judge anything, just go with the flow πŸ˜‰

Tell me about you if you want, I'll be right here if you need a hand or a shoulder to cry on πŸ’œ

You might like this article, I did

I'll be back soon, till then please be kind to yourself 🌺

And as I promised I am back and I am back with an excited feeling of being here sharing with you.
So, how have you been? Hope everything is working right as it needs to be working in your life for yours and your soul's benefit.
To be honest, I have been better than how I am feeling right now, but I think it's all due to this chiropractor I have been seeing. After every session working on a physical level with my body, all these emotions, anxieties. .. have been coming to the surface making my days quite agitated and a bit weepy.
But nothing major and all with very good purpose as the point of it all it's to heal on all levels. πŸ’œ

But when we put awareness on any process we go through in life, everything then gets a different meaning and perspective, don't you think?
So I am trying my best to try and be present and aware  at any tear, emotion or  pain going on, thereby I can understand what my body or soul are trying to tell me so I can find more peace and meaning, everything becomes healing when you embrace the situation as a holistic one.

But I have been doing other stuff as well, don't you think for a moment that I espend my days in a contemplative way, normally it's completely the other way round πŸ˜„

Today we had lunch with a friend in one of my few favourite places in Glastonbury, Excalibur cafe; it's a vegan cafe/restaurant and although I am not a vegan, the passion they put on everything they do it's what make them special.
I had one of my favourite there, avocado with wild pesto on raw crackers

Absolutely delicious, so if you ever come to Glastonbury (England) it's worth a visit.


And as I've said before I have been doing other stuff and as the good  yarn lover that  I am, I always try to have something going on which involved yarn, this pink project it's a cardigan for my little girl, I am working with 100% cotton as I think it is a good one for the coming time, I will post the final result πŸ˜‰
The pattern it's quite simple and nice I purchased it time ago, if you wanna give it a try. .. 

This week for some reason I have been enjoying an old song, somehow it has made me feel good, how crazy is that? aaah life. .. we have this illusion of having total control but then a song, a perfume or something else comes across and everything starts shaking letting you in a confusing or completely different place in life. Although it is not the case with me and this song, for some reason I have listened to it from a different perspective. .. a funny one by the way πŸ˜‰https://youtu.be/SbyAZQ45uww 
Let me know, if you want what do you think about this song. 



So I think that will be it for today, promise I will come with more very soon.

Meantime. .. please be very happy and love yourself 100%

Lots of love πŸ’“πŸ’šπŸ’œ

IT'S BEEN A WHILE. ..

Hi there, how are you?
Uff. .. it really has been a while since the last time I was here posting as the name of my blog says, "Bits of my days"
And now looking around and feeling, re-reading. .. somehow I feel more connected than before with that name, how curious. ..
Because bits of my days can be little things with nothing special, or little things with a lot of magic, importance and meaning.
Bits of my days can say a lot or nothing at all, can be full of words or full of images that speak louder than words. .. who knows. ...

But I am back. .. and it feels good, it feels really good be here typing on my laptop about nothing and everything.

Where I am in life?
uff. ... We are still living in our tiny little home (caravan) 
Are we happy? well. .. we are yes, we are happy to a point with ourselves but very tired and fed up with the caravan thing :( 
The lack of space, although we try to make it cozy and nice - which, to be honest, it really is nice the way we have decorated or try to- but the space, or lack of it to be more accurate, it's starting to be too much in almost every aspect of our life.
So yes, we need to leave, we want more space, we are looking different areas. ..
But it hasn't been easy at all at the moment, so fingers crossed and wish me luck because we really need that change.

I will explain more about why we ended up living in our tiny home, but not today. .. today it's late and I've just got back, so for now I will leave you with a few random pictures of our present moment and as soon as I can I will be back with more. .. 





. .. I'll be back, I promise :)

Be very happy

BELTANE

Hi everyone and Beltane blessings!!

Have you celebrated or acknowledged this time of the year? I do like being aware and tuned in with Nature and her seasons, celebrations. .. sometimes just knowing and thinking about it it's enough to feel the connection between myself and everything around me.



BELTANE

Beltane honours Life. It represents the peak of Spring and the beginning of Summer.
Earth energies are at their strongest and more active moment.
Everything at this moment in time it's powerfully fertile. At this moment of the Wheel of the year the potencial becomes conception.
Abundant fertility on all levels, is the central theme. The Maiden Goddess has reached her fullness. She is the manifestation of growth and renewal.
Flora the goddess of Spring, the May queen. The Green Man, the young Oak king falls in love with her and wins her hand.
The union is consummated and the May queen becomes pregnant. Together the May queen and the May king are symbols of the Sacred Marriage.
It is about sexuality and sensuality, passion, vitality and joy and about conception.
A great moment in the Wheel of the Year to bring ideas, hopes and dreams into action. .. and enjoy 

And this was a bit of our celebration











It really was a fantastic celebration, we all enjoyed the moment, the energy and everything about the day.
And what else but pleasure is life about?

If you stop for a minute and think about it, you may discover that life is much more beautiful and easy than what we think.

So enjoy and remember that this is a good moment to bring your ideas, dreams. .. into another level.

Remember, enjoy and be very, very happy!

See you all soon!

Love&Light

Lluisa xoxo
