Simple life. I already had this business life, working in different parts of the world, from being a Marketing Manager in the bank in Lithuania to participating in businesses in Estonia, India and Brazil. I had this fast-paced business girl life. But little by little all this fast running world became too much for me. My mind was too full, I didn't have any rest which my mind was begging for. There was too much chaos in my head. So, I stopped, I began gardening, knitting, jogging and making real food. I travelled to Portugal to the organic farm to take care of sheep and prepare simple real food, I travelled to France to the farm taking care of roses and enjoying the simple life, taking care of the beautiful garden and beautiful calm house. I fell in love with this simple down to earth life. Doing these simple tasks with love. Never before I was able to meditate, my mind was running too fast, I had so little sleep and rest, I had problems to fall asleep, but little by little I relaxed, eventually I was able to meditate and experience mindfulness. Now I have the pleasure of sitting near the sea for hours and watching my children play, talking to them and now I understand that this simple relaxed life is more important to me than buying one more expensive designer's dress or a cheap fast fashion sweater which lasts a day. Now, I enjoy watching my basil growing and I love preparing food from simple real ingredients, not going to these posh restaurants everyday. I enjoy taking care of my home and making it beautiful and cosy for me and my family. I enjoy spending real life with my family, watering our plants together, baking bread together and teaching my kids the things I learned during my life. Today, I love my real simple life. Love.
