Meditation with snow

December 30, 2020December 30, 2020 / Yvonne Aburrow / 2 Comments

This is actually an illustration of how terrible I am at meditation. But I had fun trying. I’m sharing this for all the other people out there who struggle with meditation. I can recommend washing your face with snow though — it’s very invigorating.

The Tree

May 21, 2020May 22, 2020 / Yvonne Aburrow / 16 Comments
