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

Hola amigos, amigas, friends, freaking-out ones, calm ones, and storm-weatherers!
Wanted to post a little something while I am working on my next longer post- some beautiful photos and cultural input from Spain to showcase its beauty, zest for life, and abundance. I had my birthday here in Southern Spain, where I am currently based, some days ago and wanted to create some positive vibes and images centered around one of my two countries of origin… counterbalancing the mass-media´s approach to everything and the current mainstream- mind-focus, on a teeny tiny scale.
I have been a bit more absent from blogging than usual due to these weird occurrences that we all have been witnessing, but am stoked about everyone who continues to share positive stories, travel posts, haikous, poems, Street-Art… refreshing and much needed!! Basically, speaking for me personally, I am currently attracted to reading and interacting with anything that doesn´t mention the C-word (haha, you know which word I mean!!), or expand on private issues (because we all are going through something at the moment, and vibes are contagious…), but that focuses on creating restoring, healing, positive, and uplifting vibes. Maybe you can feel me on that one? 🙂
Without further ado, some good vibes from gorgeous Spain!
First of all, check out this fun post about the Feria de Abril I wrote a few years back, which is a perfect example of Spain´s inherent joy, knack for a good time, and rich culture.

Then, you can embark on an exquisite musical journey with one of Spain´s best ever guitar players, Paco de Lucia in this (kinda Seventies throwback) video.
Cuddling is always a good idea (cuddling yourself works, too!)
Flamenco is an expression of Southern Spanish zest for life and emotional resilience
Dance your feelings out!
Flower beauty
Can you smell the ocean breeze?
Ocean love, a while ago
The sun always rises, and always sets… something to rely on
Spanish flowers
Palmeras = palm trees in Spanish!
Gigantic cactus – mother Earth is our treasure!!!
Blissful moments in nature
Flowers radiate beauty and joy, no matter whats going on around them… how do they do it? Miracles of nature!
Dear reader, hope you enjoyed this little post! Are there any positive news or insights you wish to share? Maybe a beautiful image, song, or interesting fact about your country? As always, would love to hear from you! Let´s keep this a place of inspiration, upliftment, and joy, and give ourselves a break. Media CAN heal! 🙂 Much love.
