Day 11: Freedom 🙆 Is a wonderful blessed gorgeous thing. ✌ #gratitude30
Day 10: Peace 🕊 Personal peace is about mindfulness. At least for me, and I'm glad I've found meditation in its many forms. Originally, I was put off by it, then I realized I had been practicing it, tried it consciously, and have tried to stick with it even if I dedicated only 3 mins. Do you meditate?
Day 9: Changes 🌿 Change is inevitable, and these days it's part of our collective culture. 🌿 We've been more nomadic than we're ever wanted to, or imagined, and living abroad presents daily challenges. 🌿 One of which is food and diet. But now we're on a new road towards a healthier, cleaner diet. 🌿 Grateful for the opportunities to adapt, be flexible, and change. #gratitude30
