In Tune with a Season

 Yassas dear friends and family,

The end of November has been a little tough for me. I felt a lot of anger, frustration and hopelessness. I was fed up with lies, new conspiracy theories, control, division and general bullshit. I felt scared and paranoid about the future. Nothing made sense anymore and I lost my ground.

In this kind of situation my first reaction was to flight. I started looking for different projects, volunteering opportunities, one day I was checking flight tickets to Bali, next day to Mexico, next to Morocco and so on. My mind was going crazy. I felt like I wanted to run away. But where to?

Here I was in Greece. In Evia island, with beautiful friends and family, cooking nutritious food, walking beautiful dogs, working in a garden, meditating, doing yoga together and I was still so restless?! I felt so spoiled and angry with myself that I am not appreciative enough. But what one can do with a mind full of fear and paranoia.

And then December came. And somehow, for the first time I felt in tune with stillness. Everything calmed down. Life slowed down. I stopped running. And the fear and paranoia disappeared. My hope for future, for beautiful future was back. I ditched those dark thoughts and started enjoying the moment. Day by day.

The nature was my teacher. A beautiful and still sea was inspiring me. I started feeling grateful for the moment to reflect and dive inwards, for such generous friends letting me stay for free, giving me food and their wonderful company. And you know what? When you stop worrying, you create space inside your head. And in that space, solutions are born, and Universe starts sending you opportunities.

And one wonderful and very special opportunity just came to me by chance. I’ll tell you more next month. Just one spoiler- I am going to my beloved Sevilla.

This year for me has been so full of lessons. I am feeling so so lucky with my still very very privileged and free life. I have met beautiful souls, created fantastic memories, played and cried, laughed and danced, swam naked in the moonlight and digged deeper inside.

Don’t let those controlling freaks at the top of the pyramid to infect your lives with lies. Live your truth and continue doing things you love, creating beauty in this world. Life will always stay as a gift, remember that!

With much love and hope,

Ligita
