"To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow."
~ Audrey Hepburn & in memory of my spectacular gran who had magical green fingers. She breathed her life force into her garden💫 give her a piece of land & she would transform it into a haven of lush green ferns & exquisitely beautiful flowers, as well as blue, black & green roses, not just your normal hues of pink & red.

Today, reminds me of Spring day where we had to create or make our very own version of a bouquet of flowers at primary school, mind you, I was only in grade 3.

I went home, overwhelmed by the task as we were taught; admire my garden, but don't touch or pinch, also let me not lie, I was an incredibly spoilt kid. I remember getting home, passing my bag to Nanny & enquiring 'uphi gogo, Nan?'

Sitting on granny's bed after waking her up from her midday nap as I was stressed & who better to teach me than the maestro herself.

Moments later, we were in the garden, hats on our heads, baskets in my tiny little hands, picking flowers, roses & ferns.

My gran then proceeded to show me, how to create a perfect bouquet of flowers & place them in a vase.

The very next day at school highly equipped with the previous day of knowledge, I won the best bouquet at school. Came back from school with 2 giant bags of chocolates, jumped on granny's bed yet again, this time not overwhelmed, just beaming with excitement & gratitude - "Grandma, half of these are for you, because, WE WON❤️

Some memories leave a lasting legacy💫
In short, plant something🪴
It might be a great memory...

Autism is a life-long neurodevelopmental condition. It affects how people experience, interact with, and relate to the world around them. Autism affects people differently – which is why there’s a common saying: “If you’ve met one Autistic person, you’ve met one Autistic person.”

Autistic people have different experiences and need different levels of support.

There are many misunderstandings about autism that can be harmful, and these can make it harder for Autistic people to access the support they need.

Here are some facts about autism that are often misunderstood:
🧠 Most Autistic people want to make friends, though some may find this difficult.
🧠 Autistic people experience the same range of emotions as other people, they may just express them differently.
🧠 Autism is defined by differences in social communication and behaviours, not intelligence. Intellectual disability or high intelligence may co-occur with autism.

Autistic people have great strengths which should be celebrated. These include:
🧠 Noticing patterns, details, or inconsistencies that others may miss.
🧠 Deep focus and persistence, particularly when working on areas of interest.
🧠 Honesty, integrity, and direct communication, which can support trust and clarity in relationships.

For some families…
this isn’t just a day

it’s their everyday life

it’s learning a different way to communicate
a different way to understand
a different way to see the world

it’s advocating when people don’t get it
protecting when others judge
and celebrating things most people overlook

because those “small” moments?
they’re everything

this isn’t about fixing
it’s about accepting

it’s about patience
understanding
and love

because every child deserves
to be seen
to be heard
and to be loved

exactly as they are...

Endometriosis is a ruinous disease in which cells of the uterine lining or endometrium, grow in some other part of the pelvic area, such as the ovaries, the cervix, the bowel or the bladder. These runaway cells group themselves in tiny dots, layers or cysts & they continue responding to hormones.

They bleed during every period, inflaming, scarring & even destroying nearby tissue.
They can form an adhesion that binds organs together, creating chronic pelvic pain & severe menstrual cramps. They can also result in infertility.

Conventional doctors often dismiss the severe menstrual cramps as 'normal' or prescribe powerful menstruation-stopping drugs that also shrink your breasts, lower your voice, dry your va**na & turn your emotions into a yo-yo. Some women endure several surgeries, only to find that the pain is still there.

Having endo isn't the end of the world, we assure you that whilst you might still experience cramping now & again, there is no need for you to continuously experience these symptoms.
