This week's #photodiary
- I love seeing plants grow in impossible places. Reminds me of resilience and hope
- Front page collage for July in my Faith Journal. Theme: Lavender
- Someone had made a chalk rainbow on the sidewalk
- I've been painting my room and Shiba has been keeping me company
- Beautiful sky with a little bit of clouds. So nice on a hot summer day
- New flip-flops from my preferred brand (my old ones broke after years of wear). They are great!
- A sign at a local hairdresser saying; You get to be here. I struggle with not feeling like I may exist. So it was so lovely to get this message of love (the other side says: You are golden)
- My new pencil case. It's so bright, shiny, and fun
- Made things ready for my kids to get home. They have been vacationing with their dad for a week. Now they are home. And all feels right again.

I'm on holiday for a week with my kids, my mom, my auntie, and her two dogs. In my parents' vacation house. It's by the sea.
It's lovely. And I have so many pictures to choose from for this week's #photodiary
- Journal time. Which is extra lovely in the shade and fresh air on the terrace
- Bought a scented candle I've been wanting
- Before we left for vacation, I took care of my mom's senior dog, Shiba. She had had surgery. And in the picture she is taking a much needed snooze
- One of my auntie's dogs; Atom. They are both boxers. And here's Atom snoozing on a sun bed
- Beautiful sunsets
- Loads of strawberries to make strawberry jam to last the rest of the year. It takes like sun and summer
- Made a bargain in a local thrift store. A stack of magazines - I use them for collages - for the price of two full price magazines
- A special danish we only enjoy when were in the northern part of the country
- Made a memory page in one of my journals. We went to brunch. And i got a punch of stuff at the café for the page.
