Watermelon Weekly Wrap #5
Hello Warriors,Happy New Week, New WWW #5Happy Easter to all those Celebrating, hope it was full of Joy and Treats!
Feeling grateful for the cherry blossom and all the spring colours appearing in London!
Every week, I round up the favourite things I’m experiencing, listening to, tasting, noticing, reading…
EXPERIENCING
I am loving the cherry blossom in London especially in Islington and Hackney :)
On Tuesday I went to a full moon ritual with my friend Holly and Sophie led by The Prana Space in Stratford. Vaida and Anna held the space in a very sacred and profound way.
It was beautiful - a group of women sharing and listening, moving, meditating and flowing together.
LISTENING
Loved listening to this podcast S13, Ep1 How To Fail: Brené Brown
Elizabeth Day and Brené Brown are full of wisdom, beautifully eloquent and smart.
I also listened to this Ted Talk about Relationships by Stan Tatkin “Relationships Are Hard. But Why?”
“Our major job is to protect each other and make each other feel safe” I recommend listening.
TASTING
I had a lot of Natural Fitness Food NFF food this week. They carry the brand in work so it’s super accessible, healthy, practical and easy to eat. This was a highlight for me: Piri Piri Halloumi, scrumptious!
GRATITUDE
Feeling so much gratitude for the cherry blossom and the spring colours.
The Easter break.
I hold so much gratitude in my heart for my friends and the conversations I have with them.
This week - Holly, Natalie, Sophie, Emma & Bronagh who I hung out with :)
Thankful for this cute Irish Easter bunny lovely Rita in work gave me, how cute?
Thank you Rita, if you’re reading!
NOTICING
On Saturday, I went back to Hackney City Farm, I didn’t realise there were so many different animals there (not just the Goats I included in WWW 3)! It was so wholesome and cute. Highlight being the children repeatedly signing “Old McDonald Had a Farm” and making all the animal noises, whilst I wandered childrenless, just as excited as them. Haha!
Check out these Donkey facts below, how cute?! Highly reccomend a visit.
PIECE OF THE WEEK
This quote comes from the podcast I mentioned earlier, as part of the Brené Brown episode of How to Fail by Elizabeth Day.
“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”
- Theodore Roosevelt
