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 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 💛✨🪽

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

Eventually things will find their natural place
Things in the house, on your desk or in your relationships, eventually find their natural place.
When you buy something for the home, or to put on your desk or in a specific room, it’s usually done with focused intent. You think that’s where it best fits, it aligns, it looks great and maybe it’s functional. Maybe the colours are amazing, the light reflects well or the energy feels right.
It’s a trial really though.
Whether it’s in the best location or not, is yet to be revealed. And maybe it is for the current point in time, life changes though.
Eventually the object will reveal itself as being in the best place, or not.
It might need a slight move to one side. Or be best in another room or given to someone else. Naturally, we’ll move a thing till we’re happy with it. Eventually you may realise, it just doesn’t fit and lets ditch that truckin’ thang!
Take my doormat for example. Cute thing. Got it cheap for $5, and it’s recycled material. I bought it as a shoe doormat, to remove sand. It’s usually very clean, but it was on the step and I was tripping on it. So I moved it up into the entrance and eventually it just got in the way more. Now it’s sitting in the donation corner washed and ready.
Things, friendships, job roles, cars or whatever it happens to be, they all find their natural place in your life and eventually move locations or change in some way so they fit best in our lives.
We move things around. Sometimes, around and around and around lol. I’ve moved some things so many times, I pick them up and wonder while I’m moving them – “why do I even have this?!”.
Eventually though, adjustments or changes are made and everything finds its right place in our world.
