Let's have a conversation on instagram

🍂 welcoming a new season As we turn a new leaf

🍂 welcoming a new season

As we turn a new leaf (no pun intended) how about taking a moment to give thanks for all the summer memories we’ve made?

I’ll go first 👇🏼

By God’s grace, I’ve lived so many awe-ments* this summer. Moving to Birmingham 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 for a bit, then on to Malta 🇲🇹 and now Gozo where we’ve made our apartment become a sanctuary of solace and feel truly like home.

We have plants, and a rug in the living room! A food processor to make meal preps even better for those work lunches at home. But perhaps the most exciting thing is to be recognized when we’re out getting provisions 👩🏻‍🌾 🧺— it’s safe to say we’re earning our place in the local neighborhood.

Gozo is a gem and continues to wow us with its glorious beaches and scenery. It’s so green compared to its bigger sister island, and we’ve been told it will become greener come through winter months. 🌳 We’ve loved our lazy summer days, long naps to beat the heat and late walks and dinners that always end with fireworks 🎇. Feasts from the many Catholic churches and incredible talent from musicians, artists, and dancers.

I’ve locked these in my heart to access for a rainy day and as I end this caption, may you too be full of gratitude for the past months and be hopeful and curious for the next ones.

Much love,
Bea 🧺

It is with deep sadness that I join the rest of the world to mourn the passing of this most wonderful inspiring woman — Sovereign yet down to earth, Her Majesty the Queen.

May you Rest In Peace ✨ thank you for always speaking boldly about your faith and love for Jesus, and for using your influence and power for good.

[Swipe ➡️] Receiving your reply to my letter last month was pure joy, but now it’s taken even more meaning. ❤️

⚜️ 🇲🇹 INTERESTING FACT: the Queen had described living in Malta as one of the best periods of her life where she was able to live a ‘normal life’ with Prince Philip.

We’re all newbies ✨ My dearest, we all start

We’re all newbies ✨

My dearest, we all start somewhere - in entrepreneurship or a setting up a new company, launching an offer or showing up on Instagram Reels.

Those first steps often are the most challenging if you struggle with a lack of confidence. It can make you feel like you don’t know what the heck you’re doing, and every attempt can also result in mistakes or ending up creating a bigger mess. Let’s not forget the part about looking a bit foolish (we’ve all done this at some point on our Stories, or in a Zoom video call).

When I started freelancing a decade ago, or when I launched my first digital course into the world, I often felt incompetent. But this is a natural part of the process to becoming competent and GOOD at something. You practice, and practice, and practice some more. You learn. You stumble. You learn from the stumbles. And you continue!

I love where I am today, having grown in confidence. All made possible from the preparation journey: all the falls, the failures, the fumbling through the unknown.

Don’t let the shaky steps you take stop you from moving towards your great adventure. You don’t suck! It’s all NEW to you so give yourself some grace - you are learning.

Speaking of which, what are you learning these days?

I promise I’m working ✨ 😅

My primary calling is my home life. 🤍

A lot of people often spend far too long trying to figure out what their purpose is, what their calling is, before they take action and start to live.

When all that’s required is to look at what’s right under our nose — right where we are, there’s good work to be done.

And so, our HOME life is our primary calling. (Not just for women but men too).

The way I think about it is this: whether you are renting or have your own home, or like me are a perpetual nomad without a fixed home, wherever you are BE THERE.

Give of yourself wherever you are. Your home needs you. And by that I don’t mean the cleaning and that kind of stuff (although that’s good too). I’m talking about your beautiful creativity - the way you move from one room to another; how you cut bread; the plates you like to use; the special touches you added to a bedside table; where you placed the artwork from your children; how you sip your tea; how you serve le goûter.

For me, I will admit I get overwhelmed at taking care of a home, I’m no domestic goddess. However I know my home (even if all temporary) is my primary calling. It’s why I create moments like le goûter by making it special in my own way, simple but oozing delicate love, seasonal with fruits from the local harvest, and calm for lingering conversations at the table.

What does it look like for you? Could you create a moment within your day? Could you slow down and pour love into your home in a meaningful way?
