Kindness to others. Kindness to self. Small or big, it all matters. 💛

Rumors say more about the speaker than the subject.

Every child deserves the sun,
to feel its warmth upon their skin,
to run freely in the fields
where the earth remembers their name.

Every child deserves a song,
sung by ancestors in the wind,
a heartbeat of the drum
that tells them: you belong.

Every child deserves the dance,
feet wrapped in moccasins,
moving in circles of tradition,
their laughter echoing
like rivers that never end.

Every child deserves love,
arms that hold,
voices that soothe,
a place where tears are healed
and dreams are given wings.

For they are the fire yet to rise,
the guardians yet to grow,
the blossoms of tomorrow’s meadow—
and every child matters,
every single one.

Anyone who has been in one of my classes knows this well!

This.

If things didn’t go to plan this week with results, maybe you didn’t get the grades you’d hoped for. I’m going to tell you a little story.

At 16 I was too unwell to pick up my GCSE results, at 18 scraped by with 2 A levels a U in the others (did I even spell my name right?! Who knows)

19 a tutor told me I’d never be an illustrator, so i began to give up on the dream. My mum said give it a month in fashion graphics Lucy if it isn’t for you, you can leave and find a new path.

21 I lost my sight, with doctors saying they weren’t sure if they could help me. At times it felt like every door was slamming in my face.

But, I believe in miracles, and someone somewhere was watching over me. Doors began to open again, my health though rocky has stabilized. I have my dream job, illustrating every day, for some of the most amazing people in the world. If I’d listened to those that said I couldn’t, if I’d listened to the voice in my head that said so many times they wanted to give up. Well I wouldn’t be here with all of you.

I’m no wordsmith so I hope that makes sense, sometimes when it feels like your journey is over, it’s just rerouting you to where you’re supposed to be, the path that was always yours.

One set of results doesn’t define you, you may not realise it now, but you’re blooming as we speak ✨🌸
