Life is now!

This has been an incredible summer in most places in Europe. The hottest in decades. It also makes me think about our environment I have to admit… however, one thing that is certain is that autumn is approaching and at least where I am, it will get cooler and darker. I actually love the seasons. I’ve been staying in places where there has been one season more or less all year round. As much as it is nice with hot weather and sun, I love when the leaves start changing colour and how the air gets cooler and fresher and the smell from the ground in the morning while I walk to catch my train.

As inspiration, I have created this mood board from Boozt of my “wish things” for the autumn.

A nice rain coat and boots to match from Ilse Jacobsen, some comfortable but trendy trouser and a jumper to match from Day Birger & Mikkelssen, some cool boots to break it up a bit from Custommade and finally an iPhone cover from Richmond & Finch. This is what I will look forward to as and when autumn approaches!!!

Today I challenge you to write and send a postcard to an older relative of yours. You know it makes sense! Can you imagine how happy your relative will be once he/ she sees the postcard amongst any other mail. I really don’t think it’s something anyone of us get a lot of these days. When was the last time you got a postcard from someone? The modern age is here and I love it. I also think that our older generation would truly appreciate an old fashioned postcard from you! Go ahead and make the day for someone you admire!

A lot of us have busy days. Work, family, sport, more work, hobbies- what makes your life yours! Even in this modern age it’s easy to “forget” to contact people- be it friends or family. Today I challenge you to send a postcard to someone you haven’t been in touch with for ages! I will send a card to a friend I have not been in touch with for a couple of years. I know that it will make her very happy! I truly believe that it is the small things in life that we do that will bring energy in the universe. And that is what we want. Positivism and to create and bring happiness. Life is short! Make sure you enjoy it. We all have our ups and down- it wouldn’t be life if it wasn’t so. Next week I have another challenge I will do and propose- again you will not need much for it except for a little bit of time. Once you’ve started it, it will make you feel good!

So- come on today and join me in the second day of sending someone a postcard. You know it makes sense!

Today is the first day of the 7- Day Challenge. I truly encourage you to buy some postcards and stamps and send one every day to near and dear ones. In this modern day and age, I’m sure this will truly make someone very happy.

Or do what I do- use the App TouchNote. It’s an amazing App where you can customise your own photos and send. This will add that personal touch. I will send postcards to family & friends this week. It will not take much time in my busy day, but will mean the world to someone. This Challenge, I truly recommend that you join!!! Come on and make someone very happy.
