Hayley, loved reading your year’s journey! The paragraph that started with ‘daily meditation has been…’ so, so resonated with me! Thanks for sharing your journey to a more peaceful existence.

I'm sorry I'm very shallow minded. I saw a seal pup, I clicked. Thank you for your travelling/journeying reflection.

Wonderful to hear that 2024 has been so uplifting to you. I've felt uplifted just reading this post! Slowing down and noticing the environment can change everything. I also really enjoy your photography style; the simplicity and the soft tones. Which lens or lenses are you using?

Ah thanks! I use a Nikon Z50 with a 50-250mm lens. They are slightly edited in light room but not too much.

Oh I'd love to try out a telezoom sometime, I've only really worked with fixed focal length around 30-50mm.

Same same same!

Less. Slowly. More presence. Noticing.

I thought I was slowing down until my body got ill and i’ve been forced to stop everything for the past weeks. It is sooo revealing.

Thanks for sharing your journey!

Illness really does force us to slow down doesn't it, and as you say it's interesting what feelings come up.

Reconnecting with yourself is one of the greatest gifts you can ever recieve - and you can give it to yourself anytime you like with a little thought and self love. Beautiful post @Hayley - thank you
