Calm Joy

TRUE FAMILY HAS YOUR BACK

Another wonderful Christmas day! Today (26th) I visited another Purification Space friend with her son and got spoiled into oblivion. 😀

First, an amazing, vegan stuffed cabbage lunch, a jar of the best ever roasted hazelnuts as a gift, poppy seed bejgli for dessert, amazing cups of teas,

fruity nut snack, Doterra Aroma Touch!!! Walk in the sunshine, laughter, peace, uplifting vibes!! My tiny anxious mind is blown and all I feel is calm, open brightness and so much gratitude as I’m writing these lines! Because this day was another great reminder that there’s no need to stress when you co-create with your friends – who feel like real family! Relaxing just. 🙂

It’s only yesterday (25th) that I took a small dip out of paradise into something else when I called my elderly biological mum in the morning to wish Merry Christmas and got triggered as usual. Same old, same old, a road to nowhere new. But the day was saved by my friends who returned for Xmas lunch and we went for a walk in the Castle afterwards. Super surprised by the amount of tourists flowing through the bridge and in the sightseeing areas, we sometimes found a quiet spot and got comfort from hot apple juice and other xmas market treats. My friends are both foreigners, who recently moved to the countryside but even I learn so much new from them about our capital! They read books, do research, learn the language, are into arts…

They also have a very good pronunciation of this crazy, lovely language and can say so much! I’m impressed!

So here I wanna share a bit about the days leading up to Christmas too, because they were too good not to mention. Friends arrived before Christmas already so we could go to Tres Chats Multicoloré bakery for breakfast only to discover the best hot chocolate in town! And onto 2 more cafes which had a lot to do with books and art! The Three Ravens even had a dedicated corner of one of my favourite poets of all times! And another mind blowing surprise was when the author of a tourist guide book suddenly greeted my friend reading his book and offered to sign! Have to say though that around some people ‘magic’ happens all the time: right people, opportunities turn up, timing aligns, playlists change, music quiets down, silence sets in…

And of ‘utmost importance’ 🙂 real gofri waffles covered with chocolate pudding and raspberry whipped cream made it on the menu twice giving us  moustaches! As I said to my friend yesterday before the goodbye: I only had to wait 40 years for the best Christmas of my life, but then it blew my mind.

Much love.
