💛 ⭐️💛 Flow State 💛 ⭐️💛

I posted this as a story recently and a number of people told me it had strongly impacted them so sharing here as well.

They say we ‘teach what we need to learn’ and this could not be truer for me. I have put an hour of editing into my schedule for tomorrow because I know I will probably need that long to make it to flow state. Once I’m there I will probably want to stay there and go over my hour but I’m going to force myself to do that initial bu****it hour and see if it takes me to the magic garden of creative fulfilment 🪏

I had a very big cry this morning. I know so many of us here did. This beautiful soul impacted my life in ways I can’t possibly put into words. She inspired it all. Rest in peace 💖

A little plug here for a local startup I wanted to tell all my Gold Coast friendies about :)

Miami Based "Seed The Ground" drop and go composting service has diverted 100 tonnes of waste away from landfill since they started in 2021. That's a lot!

I learned about them after spending years in worm purgatory. I tried so hard with composting and vermiculture but I really struggled with it as someone who lives in a small apartment with only balconies as my outdoor space - and in a hot climate where infestations by bugs can happen pretty easily. I'm tempted to try again with worms in the future by just keeping my whole bin inside (they don't smell) but for now, I saved myself a lot of trouble by just signing up for this service where every week I get two clean tubs and whenever I'm ready, I can swap them out at a swap station for new ones. Every now and then the swap station has free compost there for us to collect as well and my plants have been so happy for that.

Such a great idea and it's honestly a business model I had always hoped someone would start and would actually fantasise about in my worm purgatory days where every time I went outside my balcony was covered in creepy crawly fly larva that had crawled out of my worm bin omg.

As a diehard greenie, the thought of giving up composting and sending all of my perfectly good organic waste to landfill was too much for me to handle so I've been so grateful for this easy service. I'd so love to convince more people to pick up this service or start home composting if you're able. It's so silly to be filling land fills with biodegradable organic waste for no reason - and then going to Bunnings to buy plastic wrapped expensive compost. Cut out the middle man!!

There is a reason I named my first born child after this legend.

She also married one of the Nat Geo photogs. He noticed also 🔥

Spent the morning going through old footage and came across this sweet little koala in care sleeping so soundly. It reminded me of when I had babies at home and you would spend ages just watching them sleep 💕

Thanks so much to the Wayne Green Team for all your efforts with your recent screening!

So happy to hear that you are working on helping the understand that an educational institution should not be intentionally releasing balloons into the atmosphere as football game entertainment. We know without doubt that balloons can travel vast distances and are very likely to land in the ocean when released. We also know that endangered sea turtles and many other species are very vulnerable to accidental ingestion which is often life ending. Its ridiculous that when faced with this information a university, a science institution, could continue this practice.

My daughter told me yesterday how suprised she was that her teacher, an educator, would shop on Temu. We also talk a lot about Shein in our home and why we don't use these websites.

I am actually having a one year consumerism detox if anyone would like to join me. I am only replacing broken or necessary items and of course still buying food and consumables.

I have already stuffed it up twice in the 6 weeks Ive been into it but despite that, I have already really saved a lot of money and feel much better about myself. I am someone that cares deeply about the environment and I am particularly focussed on minimising waste but at the same time, I love art, clothes, beauty, comfort, and pleasure so omg are boutiques and shops ever a huge temptation for me! Ahh!! I am hoping a year dedicated to experiences will help re wire my brain away from the shopping trap.

👖 Shein is popular among Gen Z, where a market analysis found that 44% of U.S. consumers buy from them at least once a month. Shein’s business model is built on speed: clothes go from concept to production to consumer in mere weeks, flooding the market with cheap, poorly made items, designed to be worn a few times and then thrown away.⁠

Came across this love pile of koalas a few months back and had been scratching my head over it for ages. I couldn't decide if there are two or three koalas here. Surely it's just a big mum and a small bub. I think. Or is there three? Help me??
