Catching up with your beautiful writing Victoria. I love the cat rolling on the grass, they can teach us so much about joy and rest. 💕

Thank you for reading, Clare. Yes, I've learnt so much from my cats about just existing in the moment and doing exactly what you want, when you want it! They are adorable, furry little gurus.

Just beautiful Victoria 🙏 I felt like I was right there with you, and as always feel like I'm reading thoughts from my own mind (minus the grassy garden and cats... Though I wouldnt say no to either!!!!!) thank you for a soothing read.

Happy Sunday ☀️

Thank you for reading, Emily! There's something so peaceful about being outdoors. I know, it's funny how similarly we think, right? :)

I know! We have so many similarities - I love it. The serendipity that we would cross paths here. One day we will have to try and meet for a coffee and a good chat in person ☕️🙏

What a beautiful soothing read of coming home... Just after I came in for a little bit of reading and my first cup of tea in my backyard... 😊

What a beautiful read Victoria. I am sorry to hear that you are still struggling with your health, it's the most complicated thing to navigate, especially with limited answers. Sunday mornings are my favourite, I try and save them for relaxing or wholesome activities - today I plan to spend most of the day in the garden and I desperately need to catch up over here on Substack. Wishing you a wonderful Sunday ahead. 🤎

Thank you lovely. I'm a week late to your comment but I hope you have a lovely, relaxing bank holiday weekend planned this week.

Slow Sunday morning is one of the most valuable gifts in life. The perfect time to be fully present in the moment. You write so beautifully.

Thank you so much, Terje! As I get older, I see so much more value in being present and just enjoying each moment for exactly what it is. I completely agree about slow Sunday mornings too.

So very, very beautiful, Victoria! What a lovely, heartfelt post to read on a Sunday morning. The perfect start to the day. Thank you! 💗

I know the feeling of losing oneself and trying to find an unmarked path back, also the labels ... It's good to notice and then find a space of one's own, a pocket of time to slow down and just be oneself. I loved your final sentence, so beautifully put! Wishing you more peaceful, calm times like this! 🌻
