hello october 2025 - let’s change and evolve!

 

Welcome October, the most amazing month of the year since it is the month I landed on this planet once upon a time! 

Joke aside, it’s a special month for all us Scorpios with their birthday in October. I try to make it a joyful month as best I can. I will try this year too, even if given the current rough circumstances on a gazillion levels.

But let’s begin with the truly good stuff. Today, October 1, is also World Vegetarian Day, not as neat as World Vegan day on November 1, but a decent start. Peace begin on your plate. And if it’s one thing the world is in desperate need of now, it’s peace.

Far from everyone have the opportunity to be brave and committed to break the siege on Gaza by being on the Global Sumud Flotilla right now. (Still sailing but today/night is the time when anything Israhellish can happen. All eyes on them. And all eyes on Gaza.) 

Enough now, world. ENOUGH. This is a disgrace and stain on 2025, on us all. And yes I am well aware that there are too many other disgraceful conflicts in other parts of the world. But to let a violent ethnostate literally get away with murder and war crimes while world ”leaders” just look away. In 2025. That’s so well beyond mindboggling, infuriating, disgusting and heartbreaking.

There is a petition out there, urging UN take other measures that don’t involve the security council, I have signed it but I don’t have the link saved (silly me). Do search the internetz and I will see if I can update this post with it later.

But to begin a peace process here and now. Start with your plate. There’s an infinate well of vegetarian/vegan dishes out there of course. And tofu is my best protein friend. Takes a bit of effort and skills to bring out the the best of it of course (and admittedly we have not always been the best of friends) but it’s oh so versatile and delicious!

But a new favourite, and very quick to whip together with little effort is making a tortilla wrap with hummus, and fried beans, onion, garlic and whatever leftover veggies you have in the fridge/freezer. Drizzle with sweet chili sauce. Sprinkle seeds. It’s a wrap! Very moreish.

So choose kindly, choose peace on your plate.

I began my October month by snip snapping of ca 10 cm of hair. The hairdresser was very cheap. But the result wasn’t too shabby me thinks. Had planned to throw in the vegan Maria Nila pink colour refresher, but didn’t have the time. So will do that next time I wash hair. A little pink pocket of joy for October.

I have also begun working on a new Prosit website. (at least there is something to read when you follow the link prositordochbild.se - but it’s still a lot to do, tweaking, photos and SEO. And not least the English pages. But at least there is a structure to work from.)

Still trying to solve problems with short term solutions, it isn’t ideal, far from, but it is what it what it is currently. And have been on and off since M passed away.

Yup, I spend (too) much time mulling over previous life choices that seemed reasonable at the time. 20-30 years later, not so much. It’s a quite useless way to spend energy on, well aware of that, but a human can’t always help herself doing it. Overthinking galore.

Welcome October, let’s bring more joy into life, reinvent ourselves, change, grow, evolve, make progress, be kind and caring. Both for ourselves, for others, and nature. We are all earthlings and we share this one and only beautiful planet. Together.
