Hello lovely readers, fellow humans, friends, 2020-survivors and future 2021-thrivers,
with Christmas around the night-corner, I felt inspired to wish you all so much love, peace, contentment, and gratitude for the festivities. While I always feel that Christmas is a very jolly thing for some and a mixed bag of bitter-sweet vibes for many others, I can´t help but feel that there is always hope on the horizon, even in 2020. There are always many things to be grateful for, lovely (Christmas)-treats to be devoured, nostalgic songs to be listened to, and beautiful memories to be remembered as well as new ones to be created.
Much Christmas love from Mother Nature and me 
When in doubt, venture out (if possible. Otherwise, venture out of habitual thought-patterns! A breath of fresh air, too.) 
The calm of the tree is in thee. Just get past the Vagus Nerve!
Hope is in every flower, and also in a shower 
Go explore! There are mushrooms to be stumbled upon:) 
Love is all around you, even when you can´t see it
Thank you so much for your readership, friendship, and loyalty. A new post is finally in the works: a travel post with a very Venusian take on Bella Roma:) I hope you´ll thoroughly enjoy it.
I wish you all things comforting and soul-nourishing for this Christmas, and a great start to the brand-new 2021!
Much love from Spain,
your Gypsy mate
A Gypsy at Heart
