Cold salt water morning | Day 121 of my 2023 Journal

Cecilie Conrad·May 1, 2023· 2 minutes

As I am writing this, I will admit I am exhausted.

I rolled out of bed at eight and joined the cold dip challenge. It was indeed cold.

We are totally hooked. It is such a great start to the day.

Moving on to the castle to hang out again with the huge group of Worldschoolers. I just love the gang!

Afternoon at D-day museum, learned so much, was so tired! Wrote poems for fun in the sunshine with the teens. Used the f-word and laughed a lot.

Cooked in the sunshine, just to realize the pasta had gluten, I had to throw it all away and serve cornflakes for dinner.

Evening at the castle celebrating the birthday of the co-living and one of the teens. Cake and drink and laughter.

And conversions. All day. Batteries running low, jumpstarting with espresso and quick meditations to keep up.

Love and light
