Coffee, music, ink.
The uplifting melodies in my ears can mean only one thing:
It’s sunny in Trochaville.
Life is good lately.
I’m squishing every drop.
Are there things that require my attention?
Sure.
Will I need to carve out some of today’s hours towards uncomfortable tasks?
Yes.
Do I allow such minuscule inconveniences to ruin my sun-blaster mood?
Hell No!
Shine, Shine, Shine!
💕 I am grateful for:
💕 The Ease
I love not being as tense as I was before Celange.
The go-getter / hustler attitude may bring short-term productivity improvement (but really…does it?), but it wrecks me in the medium & long term.
Where lies the balance?
The ideal combination of ease & effort, power & surrender, getting & being?
Today, it’s here, in these delicate moves, slightly distanced stance, yet doing the job.
Exactly what’s needed.
💕 Being Sunny Again
Movin & groovin, baby
Movin & groovin.
Love these days!
🧠 On my mind:
🧠 Do I really need to be so focused on “growth”, “going against the fears”, “trusting the sadness”, “more pain = more love”?
Really, what’s wrong with just living this life with a slightly detached, less striving mindset?
I’m not talking about resignation, standing completely still.
What I’m against is the over&over-stretching, furiously throwing myself into the challenges / darkness because it apparently leads to growth, and all the rest of the YouTube coach mentality.
Would it be possible to move gently, playfully, in perfect aura, while still delivering stunning performance?
The highest work = full play
🧠 What would make today great?
Getting the deck work done
Experimenting with form, content, concepts
Sharing something
Celange?
Today’s?
First from this journal?
🧠 What stresses me the most right now?
That I will spend too much time on this C+K job. What if it takes more than 2 hours?
That this whole thing is doomed to fail
Perspective shift: I am doing my best, in the time I have available to help this mission become a success. There are hundreds of factors influencing the final result, most of which I have zero agency over. I’m playing my small part the best I can, and that’s enough
One life.
Celebrate Tonight.

so up in the sky, we need spaceships”
⛱️ Today’s adventures:
⛱️ Mission scanner
morning pick-up with Hugi
installing the device
first scan
oh wow, it looks ~the way I like
more scans → “it could/should work”
???
⛱️ Jacuzzi
Classic.
Symbol of current season / late summer.
Inflatable, 40*C jacuzzi & our antics.
It’s the “easiest” AND MOST FUN activity in our current Hugi-play repertoire.
Relaxing as f*ck
Love you, jacuzzi
⛱️ The productive 1,5 h deck work
gave my best,
satisfaction
⛱️ Yoga with Flo
morning workouts = essential
⛱️ Hugi wanting to be close to me
carrying in hands
