Love resurrecting life


Hi there.

Writing to you on a Saturday, instead of our usual Sunday - tomorrow is Easter here in Greece.

I'm in the process of moving to a new house and I'm running an experiment.

Each day, for a month, a piece of me gets put in a box.

I’m downsizing to fit a smaller flat or room.

I'm inviting people on my socials to follow me as I choose what stays and what goes.

I made a reel about one of the things I'm saying goodbye to: six blue notebooks filled with memories of my brother - as they were written by our friends and family on the day of his funeral.

These notebooks meant a lot to my family. They were a source of comfort, connection, and deep belly laughs when we were grieving.

It was an example of how seemingly small acts can have a powerful healing effect.

Of how a community that shows up and is simply there makes all the difference.

Of how love respects, resurrects, and rebuilds.


We forget it, yet it's a truth we can count on and a power to cultivate.

Here's to love then, may it subvert the things that hurt humankind and the earth, and reinvent the way we relate and evolve.

See you in the trenches,

Elena

"You will rarely outperform your self-image" - James Clear If you were to take a moment and look at yourself as if you're a fly on the wall, leaving all your usual judgments on the side, what would you see? What can you set aside for a minute that's been part of your self-image, something that's been causing insecurity and self-doubt? What can you notice instead? How does that change your self-image? Not to outperform yourself, but to feel more complete, kind and loving to yourself?...

Hi there Reader. What makes us, us? Is it the things we have, the people, or the environment we're surrounded by? Is it our body? Or our soul? If consciousness is subjective experience, what is it made of? And if we tap into a collective consciousness, what's the relationship? Perhaps it's not so much a question of what we are but of how we be. How do we occupy the space that we inadvertently are? Inside, around us and in between. Having said all that, thank you for being part of my space....

Hi there Reader. Today I’d like to address that part of you that has been judged for being: Too much Too loud Too talkative Too opinionated Too angry Too beautiful Too ugly Too afraid Too accomplished Too strong Too poor Too rich Too sensitive Too happy Too fat Too boring Too weird Too different You know which one is true for you. Can you see that part, or is it isolated somewhere far away? What are you telling yourself about it? To what lengths do you go to to prevent it from being noticed?...
