As a child I questioned, where can I find magical places like this? I built worlds in my imagination and, in time, reality followed suit. ― Mermaid Jules

Is it true for you?

These winter months are slower, colder, a time to hibernate and find rest in the in between. I find beauty in the space winter has created for me, and find it sets my creative mind free.
I haven’t posted as much mermaid content, but only for now. Spring will bring more beach visits.

I’m tail traveling to Bali in August…what are some things this mermaid should do??

So last fortnight I got hired to be Barbie!
Although it’s not my usual gig, I thought ‘why not, that’s this little girls birthday wish I’m going to make it happen’.
Needless to say the birthday girl was very happy when I arrived at the party. 💕

Happy (for yesterday)
Here is a poem from my human form:

I’ve loved the Ocean⁣
Yet equally feared its depths⁣
For as long as I can remember.⁣
-The love and fear has encapsulated me⁣
⁣
I am in awe of its power⁣
Yet, I am shaken to my core by it’s strength.⁣
⁣
My tears are invisible underwater⁣
My body loses its weight⁣
My breath escapes me⁣
And the temperatures do not conform to my comfort.⁣
⁣
I am not designed for the Sea...⁣
But there is a creature within me.⁣
⁣
She remembers the lungs that carry air for hours,⁣
She trusts her body’s adaption to the cold temperatures,⁣
She begs for the rhythm of the tides,⁣
She sings to the music of the sirens,⁣
And she plays with the waves in her hands.⁣
⁣
I question the force of the water moving through my fingertips⁣
As they beg to propel me forward⁣
Why must I try to race the waters way...⁣
In spite of knowing; that the currents always win.⁣
⁣
I want to be a drop in the Ocean⁣
I want to feel the relief as I reach the shore.⁣
So when I fade from this earth,
please will you send me back to the Ocean.⁣
I may be merely human in this flesh⁣
But my spirit belongs to the Sea⁣
Amphitrite waits patiently within me.⁣
⁣
One drop might not be missed by the Ocean⁣
But I’m not begging for a love I won’t win.⁣
While the tides obsess over their obedience to the moon⁣
I’ll take my unrequited love as medicine⁣
⁣
For I know to truly love,⁣
You should expect nothing in return.⁣
So let it be unconditional love then.⁣
My unconditional love belongs to that of the Earth’s waters⁣
And has never been jealous of its Infatuation with the moon…

For I am free when I’m in love
So let me be free, and scared and humbled
By the great Ocean and it’s wild unpredictable sense of home.

Why am I open about being neurodivergent?

Because visibility is important.

Abolishing negative stereotypes is essential.

I want young people to know if they struggle with ADHD and/ or dyslexia that they are not alone, and there is a mermaid who does too!

When you are little and school is challenging, it can feel incredibly isolating.
Especially, if you don’t know why things don’t make sense to you or why your process for learning is different.

Being different and creative can be a super power! And although I am certainly not ignoring the really challenging sides to these differences I want to make it a part of my mission to spread the positives too and the importance of ‘just keep swimming’ even if you feel like giving up I promise eventually you will find creative ways of reaching the other side. 💜🧜‍♀️

Today’s mermaid party 🎉 🧜‍♀️

Thank you it makes it so much easier to do my mermaid make up with my mermazing new lashes!

It always surprises me how much doggos love mermaids! There must be something about the mermaid spirit that attracts the doggos little hearts, because whether I’m at the beach or a party, they always love to come up and wag their tail and say hello 👋 😂

Mermaids love all animals ❤️ after all, humans are animals technically too! and Mermaids can communicate to both land and sea beings. Which trains our empathy and helps us evolve. 💙🧜‍♀️

✨Mermaids don’t lose sleep over the opinions of shrimp ✨✨✨
This quote honestly helps me overcome self doubt and concern of what others think of me.
It takes a great deal of bravery to do something different.But doing something that brings magic to people’s lives, makes it all worth it.
Happy Mermay Mermaid lovers!
Keep following the beat of your own drum and lead with compassion as people don’t know, what they don’t know… maybe you could be the catalyst that opens their mind.✨🧜‍♀️

Happy World Dolphin Day, my best friends in the ocean.
National Dolphin Day is celebrated on April 14 every year. On this day, we celebrate dolphins — one of the most intelligent and friendly mammals in the world!

I would also like to shout out for the incredible work they do towards caring for our local dolphins.

And thank you to everyone that has donated to this wonderful charity.

There is a mermaid in the new movie! 👏🥰🧜‍♀️

How mermazing is that! I might be tempted to grow blue hair out… or maybe pink?

25/03/2023

I’ve been practicing standing on my fluke. I’ve really had to strengthen my tail muscles but with some balance I sure get there!

20/03/2023

I do, I do, I do believe in Mermaids! And fairies 🧚‍♀️, and dragons, and elves, and trolls, and world peace. 🥹❤️

I love my beautiful human friends who never stopped believing in me. ❤️

Tomorrow’s going to be fun. (Well this morning) 😜Mermaids are a little bit nocturnal you know…

Facts:
10:30am
Right side of the Seaford Pier, Facing the bay.

Couple of things to remember,
✨There may be a crowd so please at all times supervise children in or by the water.
✨There may be photography please stand back from the crowd if you not want to be involved in any community members captures.

✨There may be many others so please make sure to make room for everyone and spread out so everybody has a chance to see and hear the mermaid .

✨Also I’m very excited to announce there will be a surprise visitor tomorrow, I’m not going to give too much away now… but it will be a very exciting visit indeed.

P.S don’t forget a gold coin donation for my favourite charity these guys have been doing such incredible work for the past 30 years to protect and care for our marine life in the bay and their focus on education and their young peoples ambassador programs are just incredible. Highly recommend the work they do to make my home in the ocean so safe and easier to breathe.

See y’all tomorrow,

Big love,
MM

When people say ‘away with the fairies’, I always think what a wonderful place to go…

There are different traits that are valued in different worlds and I believe it is a marvellous gift to be able to dream up your very own world.

When imagination gets starved or suppressed it can turn busy minds into anxious and tiresome places.

We need dreamers, open thinkers, and opportunity makers.

To imagine is a gift, not a human flaw. ❤️✨🐬

I was so HAPPY! Because today my cousin Mermaid Jayde 💚 came to visit me.

As Australian mermaids we loveee Aussie music and we make it a tradition every year to listen to ‘s hottest 100 while sipping salty drinks and frolicking in our tails in the pool.

Mermaids come from near and far and they share one very important thing in common, they value fantasy, imagination and making the world a wonderful place; whether that’s through music, art, cooking, or dance. A mermaid knows in their heart that they’re a siren of the scenes, they flow to the rhythm of the ocean and let their intuition carry them like they trust in a rip taking them out to sea. It’s scary to sometimes float where others veer away from, but a true mermaid knows how to listen to their heart and always create a current back home. ❤️

I hear in the human world, there’s been some debate over the colour of our mermaids skin scales...

Which seems funny to me because nature continually makes art of everything she creates. Yes, the same patterns continue through Mothersea but the colours, well, they are so unique! There’s many variations of coral and seaweed, as you know, but there are parts of the Ocean that we have what you call ‘fish’ in colours you don’t have words for yet.

There are mermen, and mermaids, and others that the human distortion doesn’t understand yet. We also have many different breeds of mermaids; Some are kind and curious about the human world and live by the coast, some are in the deepest parts of the ocean like the Mariana Trench and don’t like humans very much at all, others are in lakes or billabongs, but I am merely telling you all of which you can read in human folk law.

Every continent has experienced merfolk, and if you look deep enough there are usually stories waiting to be told…

There are rules I must follow, and information that must not be passed on but what I can assure you is that yes, mermaids do have all different kinds of skin scales. No one is better than the other, and even though all of our tribes have different songs we share what we know and continue to work together to the make the underwater world a wonderful place.

Did you know that more than 80 percent of the ocean has never been mapped, explored or even seen by humans?

So, it’s okay to seem naive sometimes. ❤️ just know that in Atlantis we learnt to celebrate difference as we understood that ultimately we are all one. 🐬

What beautiful photography captured at one of my beach sightings by the legendary Neil McCarthy Photography 🌊🧜‍♀️

At this beach sighting we raised enough in gold coin donations to adopt a dolphin for Dolphin Research Institute
The following beach sighting we raised another $95!

This is a brilliant local Mornington Peninsula charity who spread educational programs and fund research projects in order to product the marine life in our Port Phillip Bay and surrounding areas. ❤️
