This is what is desire and hope that I can be. This is the only way. Still what stops me is, how I get food to the table in this way? Well at the moment I have pause of my business and Im working for others. Just for the money. It works for now but I don't follow tha plesure, I follow the pressure.

Thank you for sharing Tiina, I think having food on the table is a huge pleasure and yes sometimes we have preferences on how that happens but I just want you to know that what you’re doing is enough 🫶🏾

Being in doing. Stillness in movement. Yin in yang. Peace in chaos.

Yesss, currently working on my third book and finding pleasure in making jewelry for my new business. Making jewelry is a fun outlet for when I need to pivot away from my writing to daydream.
