I like to think of moodboards as foreshadowing… If you’re cooking, you about to serve, right? 🙂‍↕️  In all seriousness this season isn’t giving “how should I be perceived”, but rather, “what is shifting within?”

When things change around you, things change inside you. If I feel stale in life, that is no fault but my own, proven by the fact that drinking in life and being drunk on life” has a relatively short runway.

The yearning to be something else is often another side of yourself that’s been waiting for their turn. They stomp their foot. Make demands. Do SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING, SEE ME. Rather than square up and shake hands with misery again, maybe we could see where the internal conversation leads?

Could get interesting… could be fun? And look at that, in the end it really doesn’t matter because the main thing is still the main thing.

Hmmmm, Things could really get beautiful again? ✨

I used to be a lot of things that I now am not and I see no reason to not let myself explore a different way of living, creating, and sharing these days.

I thrive in change, I try not to force it, but I am always waiting in the wings— hoping for a run in with chaotic recreation. Whether that’s good or bad, it is how I have adapted to survive in life and this new season was received with arms flung wide ✨

I’m shedding so many layers, my heart is more fully exposed (if that was possible) and I think it would be fun to throw all cares to the wind and do a little “rebrand” 🤭 uncalculated, unstrategic, intuitive and carefree. Because when the hell did we decide that human beings were timeless brands anyway? We are expressing a story that is ever changing, and I do believe, for me, I lost the plot for a little.

Sounds like it might be fun to find it again 🙂‍↕️🙈

$Recent work for @veso_kind made in collaboration with @ruach_collective 🕊️ 🤍 Inspired by themes of A naturalists field journal slipping into luxury skin \\ The museum archive of a micro apothecary Campaign manifesto ✨ Every ingredient points to the original story, the beginning was always a garden. 🌱 The fingerprints of the steward are everywhere as evidence of care, and this is our ongoing study. A collection of observations about the quiet ways we reconnect to ourselves— and the source. Thank you @shineout_l9 for trusting us with your brand 🙏🏽 we’re excited for alllll the new things coming up for you!! 💫 by @olderwiser.co$
