  • The Art of Noticing. Let's talk about how it lets us unveil life's sweetest moments and the wisdom we receive when we slow down to pay attention to the people we love, the place we've been planted in and the things we are curious about.

    In the video I talk about my childhood in post-communist Eastern Europe and what it has taught me about the art of noticing, about mindfulness and about being grateful for what you have.
    I then share a chapter where I bake a cake for someone I love deeply. It's the thoughtful gestures that say I love you the loudest.
    People love to feel noticed, so this is your reminder to pay attention, to notice the people in your life.
    If you're here for the best chocolate cake recipe you can find it here.

    Please note that I made her chocolate buttercream recipe, for this cake but halved the ingredients as I don't like too much chocolate frosting on my cake.
    I then share a chapter about appreciating where you live. And learning to thrive where you've been planted.
    And the last chapter is where I have a go at hand stitching on a cold rainy evening and talk about how noticing our curiosity can lead us to stumble upon our passions.
    I hope you enjoy this comforting and cozy video from my life.
    About me: I’m Alexandra and I live in Oxfordshire together with my husband and our adorable daughter. My hope is that you’ll find a lot of positivity and comfort on this channel.

    Hi friends, I didn't mention it in the video, but the link to the cake recipe is in the description. I've used the chocolate buttercream from the same recipe. The addition of raspberries was my own idea, it works so well with or without. Up to you! Oh and since I am here, THANK YOU for spending some time with me. Sending love! X

    Thank you for sharing your life lessons and wisdom. I’ve actually written down the chapter headings in my journal and I’m deep in thought about what they mean to and for me. Today is my birthday and I am grateful that I chose to wait to follow and be inspired by your journey. Thanks for noticing all of us.

      I read this comment this morning, and I genuinely said to myself "this is it" - this right here is why I am doing this! My joy is to make content that captures a little bit of my life and to hear that my reflections cause other people to reflect too is beautiful! So thank you for sharing this with me! AND HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I hope this year is full to the brim with health, love and peace! Sending so much love and once again thank you!!!

    ❤❤ Lovely video. Do you speak to your daughter in Romanian? and how do you cope with the feeling that your family from Romania is not seeing your daughter frequently? I live abroad too, I don't have kids yet but sometimes this makes me think.

    • @AlexandraBurnett
      @AlexandraBurnett  10 месяцев назад

      Thank you so much for watching. I do try and speak Romanian with my daughter, but I don't do it full time. It's a mix of English and Romanian, and sadly the English part is the predominant part. But she knows words and a little Romanian nursery song, and I'm trying to get better. It's hard to have kids abroad when your support system is far, far away. It often times means you're on your own. But FaceTime calls always help, and visits are that more special. And because you don't know any different, you crack on with it, and it just becomes your life. Hope this helps. x

    Oh my! That cake looks so good!! I had to replay that part 3 times just to focus on what you were saying 😂
    In all seriousness, this is great advice. I heard from a yoga instructor that we are so busy taking steps forward that we don't take the time to ground ourselves in the present. Learning to appreciate the present moment is a skill that I have been learning over the past few months. It really is life changing when you are able to live with a grateful heart. Thank you for an amazing video and even more amazing life advice! 🩷

    • @AlexandraBurnett
      @AlexandraBurnett  10 месяцев назад +1

      I've made that cake twice now in less than a week. It's that good!!! I just re-watched the video now to make sure everything is it should be and I really could do with some right now. Yes to learning to live in the moment and appreciate what you have. Let's keep doing it! More and more! Thank you so much for watching and being here. Your comments mean so much! XX
