Grounding !

November energies where are you .. it is getting darker every day and it feels very difficult to keep up the energy & to find the connection to Mama Earth , if you feel like being in a mental fog , always tired or completely run down .. then it might be time to grab yourself and try to ground again .. first maybe , please try to understand that all our phones , computers , iPads etc. is draining our natural energies , take some time to put away the phone or close it , and take a long walk , take deep breaths , sit down somewhere and take a moment to go into yourself ... relax and breathe , go back home and try not to look at your phone , grab a book and read .. latest reports tell us that the average person is doing things on their phone 1/3d of their day ... this makes us unfocused , the memory fails , we get stressed and irritated and most probably very ungrounded !!

We went to Stockholm the other day to meet up with auntie Carin , my cousins daughter Jenny & grandchild Sophie , we had decided to have lunch at Stockholms latest food court Eataly Stockholm .. you can see them in the pic. above , the table to the right with the baby pram ...

I really love Eataly Flatiron in NY and this is as good as it gets .. lovely pasta dishes , even though they did not have the one I had decided before the trip ..

You cant always get what you want ...xoxo !!

Well thats it for this time .. the music at the moment is Bowie , Charles Aznavour and Lou Reed

Be youre best , do the best , eat the best and smile to the person next to you !
