I’ve spent the first part of this week planning my next work moves.
I’ll share more soon, for now please enjoy some of my favourite thoughts & happenings from these days.
💞 I am grateful for:
💞 The Support I Received After Launch
I feel honoured, uplifted, energized thanks to all the love I got after sharing my work / launch.
I shed an ecstasy / can’t-believe-it-happy tear seeing the first founding member, felt elevated hearing from a colleague who also experienced mental turbulence & found my work helpful, became real confident when another paid subscriber came in.
All the things I wanted to happen, all the hypotheses I wanted to prove, all the visions I carved for years now, became real, tangible.
What a feeling, what a satisfaction.
And the people, MY people - my heart goes out to you in full force.
You made my world.
Thank you from the soul!
💞 Being Softer
When I work on “big” projects, especially under deadlines, I get tense, irritable, distant.
I reject emotions, put on an armor that ok, maybe helps to get the job done (similiar to horse blinders) but takes away from richness of life & hurts relatonships.
The easiest way to observe this phenomena (defense mechanism?) is how I interact with Hugo.
Am I delicate, patient, treat him like a friend or do I force my will, say “no” 20 times a minutes, and secretly wish it’s the end of my watch?
The last couple days, the post launch weekender + beginning of this week brought a lot of tenderness back.
I feel again, am open, welcoming.
And these tiny arms sense it from a mile - he really enjoys my company.
I even got one of the highly coveted bear hugs today.
Oh, and a love letter yesterday.
Sooo good.
💞 Letting Myself Flourish in Photo & Video
I’m beginning to embrace this part of me in ways I had not before.
I absolutely adore it & the effects are spectacular.
The “Uwaga, Trudna Młodzież” photo I made is just WOW.
I want this part of me to expand, elevate.
🏖️ Amazing Things
🏖️ 4 Playgrounds in 1 Day (14 June)
I’ve spent the better part of Wednesday with Hugi.
Nati had minor turbulence, so we gave her space & ventured out.
And boy, we did have fun.
Hugi is now officially a monkey / street workout artist.
He can climb highest ladders, hang&swing on the bars, is equal parts fearless as he is impressive.

The moment that stole my heart was when he “read” aloud graffiti sprayed on the pumptrack.
Apparently it said “I love you very much daddy” <cries in dad>
-
Nothing makes me happier than when things are fine between us.
And on 14th June, they were simply the best.
🏖️ Evening Walk & Swing (13 June)
June might be my favourite month of the year.
13th June walk to the lake - late afternoon sun, fine moods, meadow flush with wild flowers, the 3 of us together - showed me exactly why.
Hugi was so happy flying between our hands, rocking on the swing, splashing pond water.
Joy, joy, joy.
🏖️ Another Record Breakin Hug-o (12 June)
This is one of my favourite things on earth.
These arms wrapping around my neck, feeling his every breath, being fully here when it happens.
On June 12th we might have beat our record.
It literally took us around 4? minutes to unglue from one another.
Lucky, lucky me!
