I have noticed recently a massive turn in aesthetic towards simple elegance and I've got to say I am really enjoying it
I love a creative challenge and sometimes intentional elegance can be just as effective if not more so, then collated mishmash party bag deliciousness
All killer, no filler
There is strength in the singular

DUALITY
The last 93 days have been brutal
Living in my privilege in a colonised country watching the intentional annihilation of an indigenous people in real time on my phone in all it's graphic terror.
My neurodiversity sometimes makes it hard for me to find two truths simultaneously. How am I allowed to feel gratitude and at the same time, utter heartbreak. How can I go from smiling, laughing and holding the ones I love, how can I even allow myself that opportunity, when I know there are so many purely evil endeavours to destroy humanity completely and all for money.
My therapist has been working with me for the past 2 years on dwelling in the grey area. I'm a dialectic thinker, you see. It either is or it isn't and I feel it in my bones. My justice complex flares like anaphylaxis, thank you, autism + Libran sun.
As you might have noticed, I have been quite outspoken about my feelings towards the state of the world and it has distanced friends from my world, it has complicated my business presence online, resulting in direct monetary loss as certain clientele prefer to dwell and delusion and disassociation. I have been bombarded with abuse from previous clientele within the Jewish community, who have shamed me for my stance on human rights. And it has taken a toll, One that I do not wish to preface as I'm not looking to centre myself in this conflict but I am checking myself before I wreck myself as I have a tendency to feel so deeply. It ruins me.
We are all navigating this for the first time in our lives. We need to act with kindness and also protect ourselves when we are wearing thin. I didn't celebrate Christmas. I didn't put up a tree. I didn't give gifts. I was grateful for my privilege but I didn't even utter the words that rhyme with "ferry blissmas" I went away for the end of the year and the beginning of this new one, with ridiculously precious friends and honestly had the time of my life because I didn't pick up my phone and I didn't check in with the state of the world and I felt the deepest guilt and shame for doing so. It's not a fun conversation to bring up. It's an uncomfortable one but it's one I'm having again and again and again because

"I promise to say I love you every single day and in three different languages"
I'm pretty desensitized to wedding vows these days as I have probably been at almost 1000 ceremonies but when I heard Christina speak these precious words to Eric, I actually burst into tears, funnily enough, I'm just behind that stone wall, eavesdropping.
This utterly gorgeous couple had no idea what was in store for them as briefly after their stunning wedding nuptials Eric was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer and given a terrible prognosis. 3 years later they are still fighting it and flying all across the world to treat it. They have a precious baby boy and they deserve every single happiness in all of the universe
They are just about to embark on a new adventure relocating to Paris so they can be closer to treatment in Germany.
I would love to support them in any way possible through you my beautiful followers, whether you are able to donate to the GoFundMe for Eric's treatment or if you have any connections in Paris so they can be welcomed and find community. I have a link in my bio to Christina's update for all the details on GoFundMe
Surely out of all of my followers and especially after creating wedding florals in Paris itself, I have connections in Paris to assist this beautiful couples transition to the other side of the world.

Your silence is deafening.
I honestly would have bet my life on your courage and then you've clearly displayed, you have none
I don't know how to even remain open to those in my life who have said nothing, shared nothing, signed nothing, done nothing.
Are you proud of who you are, that when atrocities occur, your privilege to ignore, for your comfort takes precedence?
Your "feelings" over others existence, takes precedence!
We've been conditioned to assume our comfort is paramount.
So when you're comfortable tomorrow, in safety, in delusion, opening gifts, sharing nourishment, I hope you're haunted by your privilege, I hope your pleasure is eternally unsatisfactory.
I'm furious, I'm destroyed, I'm hopeless but at least I'm feeling
At least I'm saying, sharing, signing, doing all I can.
Christmas is cancelled in Bethlehem but go ahead and drink the Koolaid. I doubt it makes you feel better

Ten years ago today I got married
And to put it lightly, ALOT has happened since then
Being a florist who creates wedding florals, simultaneously processing my own heart shattering grief surrounding the so called failure of my investments in somebody else, for what had seemed like a lifetime, has been an interesting ride to stay the very least.
The only thing I regret of those 12 years partnered is that I didn't know my own value because EVERYTHING is consequential of that fact

Did I look and feel like a million bucks on my wedding day?
You betcha!
Do I demonized my open and generous heart?
Absolutely not!
Have I forgiven myself?
Almost, don't worry, I'm working on it

I will keep loving wholeheartedly and smiling ear to ear for all my days
AND
I LOVE that i haven't yet met everybody who is going to love me in this lifetime
If anything, my idea of love has evolved and transformed so much so, that there is an unbelievable and unmeasurable amount of love in my life. A type of love I couldn't conceive of ever feeling whilst being married
And what feels like the end of the world, will in time, fade to be just a memory.
I'll keep on living, now knowing my value and standing firm in what I believe I deserve

Happiest 60th birthday to my mum
The thought that you were almost taken away from me when I was 11, completely out of your control, scans lit up like a Christmas tree, told you had months left to live, BUT you defied the odds, left modern science puzzled and got to be my mum for another two decades and counting.
I will NEVER get over how fortunate I am to have you still.
I am literally non-existent without you.

Everything I am, everything I create is because of you.
You made my hands, my heart, my head.

I love you with all my heart
