Chef Gustaeu from Ratatouille shares a very thoughtful quote about being yourself and beung unafraid to try new things. Today I will discuss some key factors in this quote and how you can apply it to your life.

Do you love Disney/Pixar movies as well ? Would love to hear which ones are your favorite.

There are many ways to have self-care, by allowing yourself to try on new forms of self-care you allow yourself to have a growth mindset.

The end of a relationship is never easy and it's important to remember that new beginnings and growth can happen in unexpected ways. Support one another on this difficult journey.

Breaking up (who knew lost friendships can also be considered a break up hey…) isn't always neat or tidy - and that’s ok. This is a bit of a heavier one so snuggle up for this one.

Many of the most rewarding activities in life are hobby-related. From rock climbing to knitting, there are endless opportunities for fun and exploration. And contrary to popular belief, play is not just for children. Adults need play just as much as kids do, maybe even more. Play helps us to stay creative and curious, two essential qualities in life. So next time you're feeling stuck, remember that it's always ok to take a break and have some fun. Embrace your inner child and let yourself play. Who knows, you might just find your new favorite hobby in the process.

Moko Kauae is an ancient practice that has been passed down through generations of Maori women. It is a deeply personal and sacred ritual that is unique to each woman who undergoes it. The moko kauae is a symbol of womanhood and empowerment, and it helps to define the wearer's identity. It is a reminder to always be true to oneself, and to never lose sight of who you are. The moko kauae is also a reminder that womanhood is not about being perfect - it's about being yourself, flaws and all. It's about having the courage to be who you are, even when it isn't easy.

I will link the video below that further explains this practice, since I am not Maori and cannot speak to the practice, but I found this video very educational and very inspiring. I hope you enjoy !

The lilac bush is a metaphor for growing and taking care of our needs to play. When we are children, we are encouraged to play, to be creative, to use our imaginations. We are free to explore and experiment. But as we grow older, we often forget the importance of play and how essential it is to our well-being. Play allows us to explore new ideas, to try new things, to take risks. And when we take risks, we open ourselves up to new possibilities, new experiences, new ways of seeing the world.

It's okay to have days where you aren't feeling great. In fact, it's normal! We all have them, and it doesn't mean something is always wrong. It's your body asking you to check in with it and nurture yourself. When we don't take the time to listen to our bodies, they will eventually speak louder. This can manifest as physical or emotional symptoms that are difficult to ignore. If you're noticing that you've been having more of these off days than usual, maybe it's time for you to slow down and take some time for self-care.

There is so much research and encouragement for children to engage in play and its described as a way of supporting healthy development and growth.
