My kinda Valentine’s Day 💝
Self love…
Self care…
Self development…
If I don’t put me at the top of the pile who will?
‘To be or not to be, that is the question…’
To be the same person I’ve always been, or strive to be a better version of myself…
Well, I choose me, the same as I did last year, the same as I will next year, the buck stops with me, so I better invest in myself first and fore most! Other routes have not been as fruitful, interesting, fulfilling or otherwise.
and talking of bucks…M&S (and many others) were charging 25 quid a bunch for roses 🌹 yesterday, i guess that’s the going rate these days & they don’t even smell of anything!
Well, stuff that! I chose 8 bunches worth to take this course, and the aftermath won’t end up in the compost! Instead, no air miles, no waste! ‘It’ (the knowledge) gets composted and broken down in a whole myriad of other ways.
When I’ve fully digested the teachings, I’ll be able to pay it forwards, regurgitate, share, and therein lies the gift 💝 the gift that keeps on giving, the only gift I’m interested in to be quite honest. Aside from the fact it’s rather more sustainable in the grand scheme of things, and preferable compared to out of season ‘forced’ blooms!
Don’t get me wrong, I’m all in favour of the mishy, mushy stuff, love is love and all that jazz, but my kinda love doesn’t look like a brainwashing M&S advert, and if it’s dressed in pink you can go back to the drawing board and try mixing those primary colours again for something a little more je ne cais quoi 🤔👨🏼🎨🫣 surprise me, i’m not that hard to please! Oh wait, hmmm on second thoughts… I really am!
Good luck Romeo, you’re gonna need it! just saying 🥱💁🏻♀️
🙄 ❤️💎
