Golden Joinery

In keeping with the theme of Women's Month - I do feel very strongly about selflove, intentional living and gratitude.

In saying that, it is no easy task to start, keep up and end each day with. When you wake up each morning, start by just being grateful for a new day.  You might be dead tired from a busy night, but waking up - either physically or metaphorically speaking - is a blessing in itself.

Your life will change dramatically if you start by being grateful for the small things, everyday.

Enjoy a good cup of coffee, take a hot shower and watch the sun rise.  These three things, will change the direction of your whole day.  I am a sun person, I love the light, I love the nuances in the sky and I watch the sunrise every morning.  For one to appreciate the sun, you must also be able to admire the beauty of the dark.  

So if you are feeling left in the dark, remember the moon is a reminder that no matter what phases you go through, you are still whole.

“You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean, in a drop.” – Rumi

Don't apologise for being authentic, but always be kind.  Don't be less if someone feels intimidated, but always be humble.  

Love yourself enough, to let your love shine from your soul.  The more love you give, the more love you receive - like attracts like, after all!

Once you can dive deep enough into yourself and find all the broken parts that need healing, only then can you accept and love yourself and at the same time others.  

Kintsugi is a centuries-old Japanese art of repairing broken pottery and transforming it into a new work of art with gold, the traditional metal used in Kintsugi. The name of the technique is derived from the words “Kin” (golden) and “tsugi” (joinery), which translate to mean “golden repair.” The scars and cracks of the broken clay pottery become the focus and turn the object into something unique and exquisite.

Don't be afraid of healing, fix yourself with gold and embrace your authenticity!

Make each day wonderful!

With Gratitude
