Quietude is a state of calmness, a place of stillness, in which the seeds of love, joy and peace may quietly grow, flourish and blossom.

Every morning was a cheerful invitation to make my life of equal simplicity, and I may say innocence, with Nature herself.

    Sometimes we just need a shoulder to lean on without saying a word.
    Sometimes we are too confused to describe what we feel.
    Sometimes no words can explain what we go through and have survived.
    And we need someone who will understand and stand with us.
    Sometimes a real smile and a tight hug is all we need to feel better.

  • When everything is feeling overwhelming, make your bed.
    When you're not feeling in love with your body, eat a nutritious meal.
    When your head is full of thoughts, write them down.
    When your body is feeling tight and stressed, or you're feeling anxious, take a walk.
    When something is on your heart, speak the words.
    When the dream is always with you, take a small step.
    Sometimes a simple action can help you reset. It can move the energy and change the mood. It can help you see something a little differently; it can feel like an exhale.
    And when things are a little hard, there's nothing better than getting into a beautifully made bed at the end of the day.

    "Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of the birds, the ebb and flow of the tides, the folded bud ready for the spring. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature ... the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after the winter."

    Rachel Carson

    Walk barefoot. Talk to the moon, and the trees. And the rivers, and the mighty mountains. Find the magic in every little and big thing.

    There is no timeline on healing….. and in fact, I once heard a beautiful saying along the lines of “we are in a constant state of breaking, healing, and strengthening…over and over again…”

    Even amazing queens must take a nap once in awhile. Be patient with yourself. Rest up your highness. All the royal stuff you have to do can wait just a little bit longer while you take care of yourself.

    ''We should always present ourselves for who we are.
    It is useless to want to look different in order to be better in the eyes of others, remember that no one is perfect; simplicity does not wear masks.''

  • A flower does not
    think of competing
    with the flower
    next to it.
    It just blooms.”

    How old am I ?
    I don't know and it doesn't matter.
    I am and will always be young enough to dare to take it all over again, when I wake up on a road that goes nowhere.
    I will always be the right age to fall in love, to break up and take it from the beginning.
    I will always be of the right age to live as a child, to make mistakes, to learn something new, to dream, to wish, to entertain, to change my direction of walking, to make decisions and to change my mind.
    I will never be too young to have old friends and never too old to have young friends.
    And I will always live the moment, as if I die tomorrow.
    I will not defer to be happy and I will not defer to love.
    My age ? It has no relevance !
