Fairytales are about the real world - just looking Fairytales are about the real world - just looking at it from another perspective, where the ordinary becomes magical and the sight of a comb by the river is a signal for magic. The Caribbean has such wonderful myths and legends. River Mumma (and her cousin Mami Wata) is one of our fave. What’s yours?

Never mind the footwear, stick to your journey. Th Never mind the footwear, stick to your journey. There’s nothing like realizing that you wore the wrong shoes for the road you’re travelling on. But don’t let that stop. Keep moving. Keep trudging. One step at a time. (Unless you’re wearing these beautiful Brigettes in the snow - hurry home, you’re about to lose your toes)

It’s important to let the light in! It’s Ash W It’s important to let the light in! It’s Ash Wednesday, for many of us a time that is the beginning of a period of reflection of sacrifice and hopefully growth. 
.
In seeking that growth, don’t be too hard on yourself. Try to focus not only on the changes you need to make, what you should give up, but also on the achievements so far. Especially the little things - those small wins we easily forget when the road gets rough.

It’s not really a thing, but wishing you happy #ashwednesday - because we wish you joy, all the time.

Joy is ephemeral. When the hard times hit, it’s Joy is ephemeral. When the hard times hit, it’s not always easy to hold on to your joy. It isn’t always easy to thrill in the sensation of raindrops hitting your skin and not simply get wet. But sometimes we can make it through the pain, not simply wait for the rainbows, but actually dance in the rain.
