  • Soul cleansers

    Soul cleansers

    You may need to recharge or detox from time to time and we all have our different ways of doing that.
    For me, I keep returning to a handful of helpful methods and they are:

    Fire

    I light a fire πŸ”₯ and sit in the smoke πŸ’¨ It’s like having this cloud wash through you and take the stress and worry with it.

    Ocean

    The ocean is my soul friend. If I could spend every day by it, I would. Swim in the ocean and absorb the salt.

    Salt is such a great cleanser. And sea salt is full of healthy minerals that clean your skin, heal wounds and wash your hair.

    Sunshine β˜€οΈ

    Sitting in the sun is the best. It warms me, reassures me, recharges and soothes me. It reminds me that each day is a new chance to try again. The sun will rise again tomorrow and we get to do a little better than yesterday.

    Nature

    Hang out in nature and breathe the fresh air. I love getting out in the Australian bush where there’s no sounds of the city. Just the birds, a few kangaroos 🦘 and fresh air.

    Stillness

    Create stillness. Life is best processed in stillness and quiet. Thoughts and feelings can be heard, meanings deciphered.
    In calm and stillness, you grow.

  • We are like a garden

    We are like a garden

    Some days we need more water.

    Some days, we need a little more sunshine.

    At times, we fruit.

    At times, we rest or grow in silence.

    But with daily work, our garden will flourish!

  • Keep your life low-key

    Keep your life low-key

    Keep your life low-key and share only what you want people to have access to, it protects your peace.

    People will judge you, make assumptions about your life. Let them. Let them know what you want them to, the rest is just assumptions and guesses.

    You hold the power in protecting your peace and nobody really know’s what’s going on in your life unless you choose to share it. It’s a superpower of silence.

    Just get on with your life and keep your privacy. Privacy is your power and safe place.

    Living a low-key life, protects your peace πŸ’›βœ¨πŸͺ½

  • When the forces of the universe converge to create the brightest stars

    When the forces of the universe converge to create the brightest stars

    There’s all sorts of people in the world and I love the variety. It’s so interesting meeting people and getting to know them, their stories and what drives them in life. Most people will know their why, in some form and learning about that why is fascinating.

    There are many in the world who will live by the standard rules set out by the society or environment they’re in. Some will break a few rules and some will cause absolute chaos.

    There are geniuses, bullies, earth angels, truly evil characters and many now that seem to struggle with discerning good information over false or to just cope through daily life. All sorts.

    And then there are also those partly forged from pain or hardship.

    They may have been born into a difficult situation, lacked the basics in life or experienced one traumatic episode in life after another. The fact is, we all lead a different and unexpected life. I don’t know anyone that can truly say, it’s all turned out how they thought it would. We can only connect the dots by looking backwards.

    Serious pain or hardship, forges the brightest stars.

    We can recognise that pain in others. The kind of pain or hardship that many others may not experience in their lives. I think you can often see it in people’s eyes. Whatever they have been through, has strengthened their soul.

    Pain teaches us how hard life can be and then we’re presented with choices. Repeat the patterns, live in the remnants, or choose a different path.

    I choose light, I choose love 🩷

    Sometimes people wonder why I wear my heart on the outside. It’s throughout all of my art, it’s on my clothing and it’s in every decision I make during the day. It’s by choice.

    Those that have been through pain that burns the soul, the kind that generates a raging white hot fire inside of you, know this choice.

    When the universe crushes you, breaks you down, incinerates you into a molten mess, if you make it out, you’re reborn with this little bit of magic.

    It’s immensely powerful. It’s everlasting. It’s like having your own nuclear star within you. It’s so brilliant, that nothing in this world could ever dim it. It amazes me and humbles me daily.

    I love my star, and I let it shine every day 🌟

  • Everyday, choose love

    Everyday, choose love

    I’m fortunate to have two cute lil labradors friends. Each day they want to play and muck around. It’s unconditional love, with a minor clause of – feed me human βœ¨πŸ˜‚

    Labradors generally have a bite force of 230 PSI or pounds per square inch. To break a human finger bone requires about 300 PSI. The labs could easily do it. Labs’ bite force is comparable to a bull terrier, if we compare to another dog breed. They are of course very different breeds and each individual behaves differently.

    Labradors are peaceful. They possess immense potential to cause damage to us, and yet each day they choose not to.

    Everyday, it’s a conscious choice. When we play, they sometimes mouth my hand, but it’s the gentlest of effort. Again, they choose to use 2% of the force they actually possess.

    “This human is a friend, I have no need to cause harm. They feed me, make me happy and there is no anger. “

    It’s a choice of love everyday. We could wonder why, is it how they were raised, genetics? Maybe it’s all of it.

    Each day, we can choose the same.

    When the universe tests us, other choices might be frustration, anger, jealousy or revenge. Choose grace and love. Or just bite the annoying person! lol πŸ˜‚

    Choose love.

    One day, you will look back and be grateful for your choices, I know I am.
