Did I offer peace today? Did I bring a smile to someone's face? Did I say words of healing? Did I let go of my anger and resentment? Did I forgive? Did I love? These are the real questions. I must trust that the little bit of love that I sow now will be many fruits, here in this world and the life to come. Henri Nouwen

I've just finished the second editing pass of a project that was a pain to edit, also because I needed to copy paste in a lot of stuff from other documents but I DID it! It needs at least one more editing pass before I add it to my freebies, but that's going to be a lot less work, for sure. I will share more when it's...

Today my body was achy, probably due to the humidity. I decided look for a chair yoga video, because I know that even with an achy body, I still can do yoga, but gently. Fifteen minutes later I was feeling a LOT better 😀

Today I've followed along this video (recommended by EllVee55 on Mastodon) and it reminded me that my body always leads. I skipped the standing parts after 2 seconds of attempting downward dog. My balance is still fried since abdominal surgery. I know I need the challenge, but I need that challenge in a quiet solo...

This is the (paper) box for my new pen, a Faber Castell Avori. After peeling the wrap off (tore that one so no picture) you see this: Then when you open the box... Gorgeous. But! Do you see the elastic? And then I realised why! When you remove the pen holder you have a pen case, the strap is for closure. PS Only after i...

I did this morning yin session today. I have tried to find other yin yoga practices on YouTube but I like Kassandra's teachings best. This one was rather challenging, but I managed it! Rather proud :)

Today I've followed 30 minute morning yin yoga and it was such a delight. I loved this more than yesterday, even if this was a little more challenging. I love that she teaches some adjustments you can do with the challenging ones. Yin yoga is a yoga of surrender, of silence and of gentle self care. It's the perfect yoga...

Sometimes I just sit with my tools and just doodle while watching something. This combines watercolour pencils, ecoline markers and a pilot v5 black pen

This will be a collection without order, made up of many sheets which I have copied here, hoping afterwards to arrange them in order in their proper places according to the subjects of which they treat. Leonardo da Vinci

When I saw this video, I thought my every day, no excuses routine would be the home trainer. Then this morning I woke up, smiled, and thought to myself: "I don't need to choose, I can also do yoga, focus more on yin yoga, too!" I will post on my main blog (linked up top) why it's yoga. I looked up a yin yoga morning...

This week, I've finished reading two books in the Murderbot series bij Martha Wells. book 3 - Artificial Condition ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️book 4 - Rogue Protocol ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐︎ I've loved reading both books so much. Book 3 gets a slightly higher rating because I loved a secondary character SO much. I don't understand some choices made...

Now I've changed things up, what will I post where: The spider in the web of my things is Echofeed. Everything I post everywhere will be shared on Mastodon and Bluesky Blog posts will go up at my blog as usual Status updates, reviews etc go here. I'm considering adding my now page here or restarting weeknotes. May also...

We've watched "Is this thing on" tonight, a movie inspired by the life of John Bishop, a comedian and a former Dr. Who companion :) The story started a bit slow, but eventually I grew into it and lo and behold, I fell in love with this movie and the gentle storytelling. Can highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is a mini blog, a mix of a status log, movie reviews, short posts on my fitness journey, random thoughts and other shenanigans. I'm (usually) sharing these posts to my Mastodon and Bluesky account. You can also subscribe to this blog using this handy dandy form

This above all—ask yourself in the stillest hour of your night: must I write? Delve into yourself for a deep answer. And if this should be affirmative, if you may meet this earnest question with a strong and simple, “I must,” then build your life according to this necessity; your life even into its most indifferent and...
