Don't Stifle Your Bloom.![]()
![]()
![]()
Sometimes, we plan a future for ourselves that doesn't live up to our timeline. ![]()
This can be frustrating and lead to discouragement.![]()
![]()
But, because we've never endeavored to accomplish these goals before, who are we to know what the timeline is?![]()
![]()
Sometimes, we need to trust ourselves and just go along with the pace, put one foot in front of the other and trust the journey.![]()

I've always been a late bloomer, exceptionally late at that. ![]()
I look at my vegetable plants - tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, cucumbers and herbs - and I just want to see what they'll become already!![]()
![]()
But the beauty is in their growth - each leaf, flower and fruit - I have to trust that they know their own timeline and will thrive accordingly.![]()
![]()
As is so with my own life and my own timeline. ![]()
I'm waiting for the flowers and the blooms and the fruit. ![]()
I've always produced. ![]()
Why would I think or imagine that I would ever fail with any season while I'm still alive?![]()

Nature always finds a way. ![]()
She is unapologetic, brave, adventurous and pure.![]()
A tree does not ask itself if it will bear fruit as it grows.![]()
It grows, so that it will bear fruit.![]()

This is My Sea![]()
![]()
The Atlantic is wild, clear, unpredictable and magnificent. ![]()
It holds secrets you have to go deep and far to hear. ![]()
It’s a startling, vivid green that other seas dream of being. ![]()
Yet it holds qualities of night that are visible during the day, it’s a green of sleep and dreams and rest, it’s the green of peace and perfection, it’s the work of the moon, the shifting of the tides, it’s mercurial and magical, and when I swim in this water I know I am home. ![]()
This green, this impossible green that intensifies and builds into a combination of white, turquoise, aqua, blue layers, this is my soul’s colour, pure and the best part of who I am.![]()
