Simple and easy things

admin — Wed, 09 Dec 2020 16:00:25 +0000

The Minutes newsletter goes out the first Sunday of the month. This month, anticipating the holiday season and the turn of the year, I wrote about habits I look forward to returning after the festivities. I swear by simple and easy habits and routines. They keep me going, when I don’t feel like getting anything […]

Got mail

admin — Thu, 21 May 2020 09:00:08 +0000

I started a newsletter. For some reason, good old email feels like the most meaningful platform for somewhat philosophical wonderings about life. Email is private, which I like. After all, it is our own individual and private task to figure out how to live in this world and pursue the things that are calling us […]

La-di-da

admin — Mon, 23 Sep 2019 11:00:41 +0000

I have a favorite beach. It’s located by the Adriatic Sea next to a mountain and a large national park. In summer, I visit weekly, and I always feel so vital after spending some time in the water. Like every cell in my body found its place and purpose. The summer ease. Our eternal craving […]

Too Busy To Focus

admin — Sun, 31 Mar 2019 09:56:46 +0000

Lack of time is a weird concept. Because when you think about it, time is all we have. No matter how much time we waste, it just keeps going, there is always the next minute and the next minute coming. Endless minutes to spend, savor, waste… But we feel busy anyway. That has to do […]

The Earth Cure

admin — Fri, 01 Feb 2019 13:58:45 +0000

I listen to a lot of podcasts when I travel because it is such a great way to pass time – plus, you can close your eyes. One episode that made sense to me on so many levels was the Goop podcast with Dr. Maya Shetreat. Dr. Maya is a New York City-based neurologist, who […]

That Divine Feminine

admin — Wed, 05 Dec 2018 09:56:43 +0000

Many Eastern philosophies view the dynamics of the world as two opposing powers: yin and yang, shakti and shiva or, what is probably easiest for us to understand in concrete terms, feminine and masculine energy. These two energies are present in every human being, regardless of our sex. To feel whole and do well, we […]

All The Best Books

admin — Fri, 15 Jun 2018 11:55:01 +0000

At a time and age that is so overly saturated with image, I often find myself thirsty for other dimensions, fuller experiences: how amazing rosemary smells at the store, or a cake you baked. The way words can move through you and uplift you. Or music. As in, eyes closed, sound only. It feels silly […]

Focus

admin — Thu, 15 Mar 2018 15:00:12 +0000

When things get really bad, we tend to forget, that it is our thought about the situation that makes it feel so bad. I write this not to cast blame – we all have things in our experience that we would rather do without – but to remind you that it is possible, for you […]

Soul Food

admin — Fri, 02 Mar 2018 00:00:57 +0000

“Nothing can survive without food. Everything we consume acts either to heal us or to poison us. We tend to think of nourishment only as what we take in through our mouths, but what we consume with our eyes, our ears, our noses, our tongues, and our bodies is also food. The conversations going on […]

On blindness

admin — Fri, 16 Feb 2018 06:00:42 +0000

Too often we are blind to how great how life is. We see what we lack, but we are not that good at noticing what we’ve got. Our ambition to achieve more serves us in so many good ways, yet it will not add to our happiness unless we also practise a more humble and […]
