On December 1, our family woke up in the north of Thailand, in the town of Hua Hin. It is a quiet town on the shores of the Gulf of Thailand. A town that has become our home, because we have already spent 2 winters here. And now, 3 years after our last visit here, we are here again with three kids.
what kind of experience did we get together with our trip here, besides delicious fruits and a very warm, gentle sea? That's what I want to tell you. Firstly, in continuation of my summer practices, here I also devote the first hour after waking up to yoga, contemplation of nature - the sea, trees and birds walking in the clearing where I practice. Recently I saw a hoopoe that wasn't afraid of me at all, and was feeding next to my rug. It means so much to me to have a pure consciousness in order to live the days with childish joy. After all, this is the only way I have a resource to draw and spend a lot of time with my children and family. My body has strengthened from exercise and swimming, I feel light and strong. It's so important to keep energetic in life!
Unexpectedly, we settled into a new condo with a wonderful lobby - an excellent space for coworking, which is decorated with great love and taste. It is a pleasure for me to work on the illustrations here. Aesthetics on the outside is aesthetics on the inside. And also in these hours of creativity, I dissolve and enjoy the process, silence and harmony. It's so important for a mom of three. And then I'm happy to spend half the day with my children.
Thailand has opened my heart even more, I have become even more open with people, and many new friends have appeared. And finally I fulfilled one more of my dreams - To arrange creative meetings with joint drawing.. There was a meeting with seven-year-old children. Everyone has their own unique vision, this is the age when children are very creative.
During the time we have been here, we have opened our store on Etsy! It wasn't easy, we did the necessary paperwork and now we have our own store. )))
Until recently, we had absolutely no plans for how we want to build our lives further. My third son will soon be 7 years old . He has been making origami crafts for the third month without stopping. He creates absolutely independently, inspiringly. And I watch him, and I learn from him to boldly take on everything I want and embody nothing without postponing it for later.
And the other day we had so many plans for the summer. And they are all connected with our wooden house (as the children call it). I dream of building a workshop and a bathhouse there. Finish the second floor . To live in tents on Lake Baikal. To arrange plein-airs for visitors from the cities, at the estate of Prince Gagarin. We realized even more how much we love our house, our surroundings. How I love baking and feeding my loved ones with fresh homemade bread and cupcakes. How we love our friends who are there.
