$What are you letting go of this year? What beliefs are you setting aside to make room for bigger, more meaningful dreams? Here\'s what I\'m saying bye to: ✨ the belief that I\'m missing out on travel and other opportunities because of the pandemic (and instead focusing on what I *can* do with all that extra time) ✨ the feeling that I should look towards others for inspiration (and instead seeking more inspiration from within) ✨ the notion that my creativity can be quantified and compared to others (and instead valuing my own worth) What are you letting go of in 2021? --- #inspiredbyflowers #justbefloral #slowfloralstyle #slowflowers #seasonpoetry #allthingsofbeauty_ #mycountryhome #allkindsofmagic #flowersandotherstories #floralstories #blissfulphotoart #thefloralseasons #ihavethisthingwithflowers #petalsandprops #allthingsbotanical #myquietbeauty #5daysofslow #daysofsimpleandslow #mybeautifulstories #foreverfaffing #myfloraldays #inspiredbynature_ #mymomentswithflowers #distractionsandinspirations #flowertherapy #isolationcreationpartdeux #bloomandgrow #hashtagauthentic #naturesbest #mytinysquaresofjoy$
$An author I knew has passed away recently. The last time I saw him, we were sipping espresso and I was interviewing him about his latest novel. A few days ago I saw his face again on Facebook - breathing through a ventilator, his eyes exhausted as he pleaded for the health ministry to do something. His death has left a void that\'s nearly tangible: I can imagine the books he\'ll never write, and the father his two children will never have. And right now, it seems ridiculous to mourn how I missed Christmas with family and an entire year of travel. Because here\'s the dramatic, unInstagrammable truth: this is really about life and death. --- #readersofegypt #readingismagic #readingspot #mybookfeatures #bookbloggersofinstagram #readingismagic #readingismyhappyplace #bookcollector #2021books #hyggebookstyle #theslowdowncollective #ofquietmoments #cozyliving #bookishhygge #hyggebookstyle #showmeyourhygge #myhyggelife #bookishflatlay #bookishthings #5daysofslow #daysofsimpleandslow #lockdown2021 #quarantinelife #quarantineandchill #quarantined #quarantinedays #quarantineday #writersofig #writersofinstagram #mybeautifulstories$
$Staying home isn\'t exactly getting any easier with practice, and with many of us in yet another lockdown the lethargy and frustration is growing. We miss family and friends, we miss travel, we miss a good flat white. Here\'s what\'s been helping me lately to get through these pandemic days: ✨ Journaling every morning with my coffee and doing a short meditation. Or jotting down just a few lines when I don\'t have time. ✨ Keeping the house clean, redecorating and rearranging. ✨ Doing yoga in the evenings and listening to some inspiring podcasts (I love the new one from @giuliawrites ) What\'s keeping you going? Let\'s create a collection of tips to save and browse through whenever we need inspiration. --- #portsaid #portsaidcity #portfuad #suez #suezcanal #mediterranean #seaview #sealovers #sealoversparadise #northcoast #northcoastegypt #cloudysky #cloudyskies #myseasonalstory #winterstories #wintermood #allwhatsbeautiful #seasonspoetry #aseasonalshift #thatvelvetfeeling #seekmoments #slowandsimpledays #myquietbeauty #daysofsimpleandslow #5daysofslow #littlestoriesofmylife #mybeautifulstories #mondaymorning #seasonaltales #sgiew_resolutions$
$What stories would you like to see on my blog this year? I\'ll be continuing with my posts on slow and minimal living, journaling, and travel off the beaten path in Egypt and beyond. I\'m also hoping to talk more about creativity and digital minimalism. But I\'d love to hear what you\'d like to see! --- photo: @cairo_confident #cairo #egypt #hashtagauthentic #5daysofslow #distractionsandinspirations #isolationchronicles #cornersofmyworld #aquietmoment #deeplyauthentic #nestandflourish #ofquietmoments #smallmomentsofcalm #capturequiet #slowlived #theslowdowncollective #calmversation #embracingaslowerlife #daysofsmallthings #fromwhereisit #moez #moezstreet #slowlivingforlife #blogger #travelblogger #everydaycairo #egypte #beautifuldestinations #daysofsimpleandslow #slowliving #slowtravel$
$What are your weekend plans? I\'ll be watching movies, reading long novels and dabbling with watercolors. Which isn\'t that different from any other evening, but I\'m glad it\'s the weekend nevertheless. --- #cairo #egypt #iamatraveler #tlpicks #beautifuldestinations #wonderful_places #cornersofmyworld #theprettycities #mytinyatlas #inspiremyinstagram #thatsdarling #seemycity #cntraveler #wheretofineme #culturetrip #pathport #voyaged #meettheworld #prettylittletrips #passportcollective #bestplacestogo #alliseeispretty #bitsofbuildings #iwalkedthisstreet #egypte #moezstreet #daysofsimpleandslow #5daysofslow #moez #facadelovers$
$Are you doing much journaling lately? If there\'s anything that\'s helped me towards a slower and more mindful life, it\'s writing in my journal every morning - even if it\'s just a few lines. And it\'s especially helpful during these stay-at-home days to have that daily routine that grounds my mornings. --- #letswriteforachange #readersofegypt #journaling #journalingcommunity #inspirationalwords #dailywriting #powerfulwords #writetoflourish #createyourreality #dailyjournal #journalideas #journaladdict #journaladdicted #creativejournaling #dailyjournaling #journalingyourway #writersofinstagram #writer #writerscommunity #writersofig #daysofsimpleandslow #5daysofslow #hashtagauthentic #gloomandglow #aquietstyle #cairo #egypt #flatlaystyle #flatlayforever #teainspired$
