“Change your thoughts and you’ll change your world.” written on this tote bag I found in a supermarket a few months ago. The words resonate to me so deep that I can’t let it hung on the wall waiting someone to pick up.

Veski, or mill was used to grind wheat, powered without electricity.

Blue sky, quiet road. I love this bike lane through the forest.

What is this flowering tree? Crabapple? Definitely not Cherry blossoms.

Summer night. It’s already 9.28 PM, but the Sun still wants to paarrttyyyy 💃🏻

JANUARY 2022 HIGHLIGHTS

What I’m focusing on this month

⇒ LEARNING

I am learning several courses about video editing with DaVinci Resolve, storytelling for animation and motion design, lighting in photography, and a new language: Estonian.

⇒ CREATING

I am focusing my energy to prepare new content for Plantree, that hopefully be able to release by Q2 this year.

⇒ SETTLING DOWN IN ESTONIA

Since moving to Estonia, I enjoy our new slow & mindful lifestyle by visiting touristy places and not-so-touristy. This year winter has been very beautiful and full of snow! Got to enjoy it while it last. Who knows next winter got bad like last year’s? 🤷🏻‍♀️
