Here I am, listening to the August playlist while I write yet another life update. You can listen and read while you see some food pics and know a little bit more about my month. 

I usually love the playlists I curate for August and specially September. I gather the songs throughout July-August, and that means they are a bit more positive. I am very emotion centered and that reflects in my art, my work and my everyday life. 

This July has been kind to me in many ways. It has been challenging, very very challenging in others. 

But as I’m now used to say: Change is the only constant. I’ve been wondering if someday, maybe, I get to face nice things and no challenges. To be honest, that would be a nice change. 

I’m more than wise now to know all the challenges that come to me are only here to teach me and to make me grow. I believe life only sends your way whatever you can handle. 

Fun thing that last sentence. I think life sees me as a much more resilient and powerful human being than I believe myself to be. I am proud of being strong, life knows I am and life knows I’ll get through this too. I always do. 

My meals are still a bit simple lately (for what I am used to) but it seems like my body is agreeing with that simplicity once in a while. 

I started going for a morning walk first thing in the morning. I’ve changed my morning routine so many times in my life I can’t really count them. 

Walking first thing…never done it before. I must say it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. There’s something in the chemicals of the brain that benefits from that meditative time in nature. And I’m loving it. 

I have many plans for this Summer, and enjoying time out alone and with friends is one of them. Actually, my August intention is falling in love with myself.

And I am so freaking enjoying it. 

I hope you fall in love with yourself too. Tell me about it, I’ll read you. Have a great Summer. Have fun and keep fooding!

Love, 

Sílvia.
