Life is mostly great, everything else I can laugh at. I don’t normally post my outtakes but this one I think others could relate to. Hahaha! #mylifebelike #FunnyMoments #BehindTheScenes #RelatableContent #joyfulliving by @violetnbrown

Does anyone else feel a bit cautiously optimistic in their existentialist human experience? Today I’m a whimsical philosopher merging my past lessons with present embodiment to create a future where I live in purpose with my newly shifted priorities. We are evolving into the new age of humanity as we rise up together, we are all uncomfortable with the corruption and dissonance of the past and together we are going to shake this world awake. #SpokenWord #PersonalGrowth #LifePhilosophy #PurposeDriven #InspirationalWomen by @violetnbrown

This was my first time jumping on a pole in 6 years since that one class I took at my friends Bachelorette surprise party. Staying at my friends house in the Kootenays and feeling fiesty, strong and confidently myself. Maybe I’ll take more classes one day but in the mean time I’m here to enjoy my life, not to impress a man but to impress myself. Let’s see how good life can get, how many people I can inspire and how much fun I can have. I love to dance but I don’t love heels so it’s unlikely I’ll take a pole class, but dancing and movement will always be fun to explore. Definitely want to take some dance lessons this year for other kinds of dance though! #selflove #strongwomen #selftrust #poledancing #womenwhomove by @violetnbrown

KEREMEOS! Oooooh la laaaa! Thou doth bestow upon me great juicy blessings of the glorious fruits of plenty! My soul is dripping with joy and happiness on this most splendid day! The most holy of holy organic Devine fruits have kissed my souls depths and I rejoice in the sweetness that touches my lip today and for many days to come. Thine is the kingdom come, and I shall come again to this holy land fruit valley. Literally I’ve been dreaming of these fruits for months. A surprising delightful fruit benefactor has sponsored today’s fruit addiction adventure, the great conveyor of peachiness, the surprise before my eyes, he whom grants wishes and reigns supreme cherries upon my day. Thank you. I do not know if you wish to remain nameless my dear friend but glory be and thank yeee!

Deb creates glass artwork like no one else in the world, her technique is unique and takes a lot of talent. This owl is made with fused glass and stained glass. Incredible and majestic. It tells the story of wisdom swooping in, of the bravery in facing our dreams, and of facing our future head on. Way to go Deb Brown! (My mom). You can find her on Facebook as Deb Brown Spiral Dreamworks Glass and Metal Art. She doesn’t have Instagram yet. Or DM me for her phone number, she can ship globally and does take commissions. #glassart #glassartwork #glassartist #femaleartist #owlart by @violetnbrown

Through the clouds of my mind I hold onto glimmers of hope. These clouds will pass as will the heaviness in my heart, reflections of love that slipped through my fingertips to clear space for a future with deeper capacity. Onwards! We grow older daily and every time I come home I’m bursting with love, memories and the humanity of time slipping away. It’s hard to watch those we love wither with age, and hard for ourselves to also feel withered with heartache. It’s so hard to live on the other side of the country from my family, being close to them there’s a lot of self forgiveness and acceptance I actively practise to manage. My family is particularly adorably helpful to each other and we all just want to help each other so much that we get frustrated when we can’t be of more support, and I am grateful to know healthy love by example. Blessed by a family that loves deeply and does all the love languages, and I just hold my grandma tight every chance I get. There is a beauty in long 7 breath hugs that not enough people have experienced. Try it with your loved ones. This week I’ve got to deal with some aftermath from the house fire in 2020. It certainly kicks up the dust of my mind and stirs the embers of my inner child, and awakens the ongoing grief of heartache which is uncomfortably slow to heal or let go of hope for a romantic happy ending. Oh the joys of being human! I know at some point I’ll find love again but I can’t help but feel hollow inside and I refuse to let myself slide back into melancholy. I feel deeply and it’s a gift as much as it hurts. Being human is rich in emotions. So here I sit feeling it all deeply, the gratitude, the love, the hope, the sorrow and the joy, the grief and the giggles. I let it flow through me like water with my breath, knowing that the universe will work itself out and I will find love again. The universe is conspiring in my favour and every day is another practise of gratitude and beautiful imperfect lessons unfolding.

No one ever talks about the strangeness of having your dreams come true but feeling hollow after years of challenges and burn out melancholy. On my travels last year I let myself be safe to feel everything deeply and fully, it was part of my healing process to take a step back and see my own inner world big picture. Since then I’ve been getting hit with emotions that feel like a tsunami then pass, while generally being in a place of peace and joy. Maybe the hollowness is just making room for future love and opportunities? ✨I feel like I’m in this parallel universe now where everything makes more sense and I’ve come to deep acceptance, but yet everything is more poetically tragic as my capacity for empathy grows for this wild world that crumbles and rises anew with time. It makes me want to burst into tears of joy and gratitude for the precious moments like me giving my grandma a 7 breath long hug. Feeling things even tough emotions is better than melancholy, it’s part of being human and it’s all beautiful. Heartache is a reflection of love, as is grief, all reflections of the hearts capacity to connect deeply. 💜 Anyways here’s some of my drone photos I took a while ago that were all very special days for me, precious gifts of reminders of the intense joy I’ve felt before and this time I’ll get to be even more grateful when they happen. I feel like the clouds are finally lifting and now I get to see clearly and connect more deeply now that I’m more myself than ever, the joys of getting older and being a biohacking philosophical nerd.

Every challenge leaves us with a choice:To carry the weight of past patterns or embody the new wisdom by putting it into action.Knowing isn’t enough, we need to actually embody the lessons. ✨ Which line from my poem stayed with you?#PersonalGrowth #growthmindset #mindset #InnerGrowth #spokenword by @violetnbrown

My soul is still here right now,wandering among the fireflies, looking at the stars,with bright eyes of hope. My mind plays the memories The lessons resounding,A call to action,Time to shine,My lessons sealed in wax,Propagate future fruits,A garden of possibilities,That will be shared. My heart leads the way,Trusting the universe,Is conspiring in my favour, Trusting myself to make it happen. My body moves wisely and free,Unburdened by expectations,Joyfully present,Delightfully satisfied. ….I don’t know what the future holds but my arms and heart are opening wide to embrace seeing how good life can get here in Canada. I hold Bali close to my heart as I exhale the ties to my past knowing it’s time to let go of all that once was in order to become what will be. #TravelDeeper #SoulJourney #PoetryCommunity #BaliLife #MindsetMatters by @violetnbrown

Last summer I was starting to redirect safety into my nervous system again deeper then ever and I went back to being a bit of a nomad for a while as I reconnected with the peace of nature. I knew I needed to spend more time in my van focused on self growth and less time worrying about things beyond my control. This photo was taken of me at @dancetemplegathering where I was starting to unfold into myself once again. Thanks @cosmic.druid for the pics! I love that we got to meet at mother tree this year, you’re a kindred spirit and dear friend I look forward to getting to know more. 🧠 “Show me how good it can get,The yoniverse provides abundance that’s wet,Success multiplied in the return of karma,Trusting in life as I follow my dharma,Shining wisdom as I flirt with divinity,This season I will blossom into infinity.”-Violet n brown June 7,2026 #CreativeLife#HealingJourney#GrowthMindset#NatureTherapy#liveauthentically by @violetnbrown

My first time seeing my book in the Victoria Public Library! I’m featured as one of the emerging local authors this year. I went by to ask about setting up a live reading today. I had a lovely woman come up to me at Otherworld and tell me her kids are obsessed with my book and that made me really happy. I heard again today that kids often want to read it twice. Making books for kids isn’t a plan to be financially rich, I choose this path because I want to inspire kids to believe in themselves and see that life can be whatever we choose for our path. Witnessing their little minds be blown as they see my book for the first time or hearing about their joy within those lessons is a happy bonus benefit. My book is also in the @nelson.public.library as well as the @thegvpl I’m working on setting up a live reading for my book after so many requests to do one, stay tuned for more info ! 🫠💜#ChildrensBookAuthor#KidsBooks#PictureBook#ReadAloudBooks#CanadianAuthor by @violetnbrown

The bond between a mother and a child is special and goes far beyond what words could ever describe. The selfless life of giving endless patience and celebrating their victories as your own is a gift I look forward to having one day. I wanted to do this shoot to give back to a local mom (Kari) some of the priceless love she has given to her daughter. A celebration of the beauty of love and compassion that brings such joy to our world. To all the mothers out there, I salute you. Thank you for the gift of life and love that makes our world so incredibly sweet. Mothers nourish our minds and souls as they support us through difficult times and teach us to be our best selves. They are the ultimate teachers, cheer leaders and heroines.Not all moms are like this, or have the skills to show up like this, but the ones who are definitely help the next generation lead by example with love. #mothers #familyphotography #momsanddaughters #femalephotographer by @violetnbrown
