  • CONTINUOUS // The only three constants in life are learning, change and growth. Which one is dominant for you today? Happy Saturday everyone! 💁🏻‍♀️💗🌿
  • GRATITUDE // Best day ever - when you wake up to find that @scottduffymedia had sent you a surprise package with a signed copy of his latest book ‘Breakthrough’. Scott’s first book ‘Launch’ ‘was my daily reminder that extraordinary things are possible for ordinary people. When Scott first started out, he didn’t have VIP connections, influential parties, private events. Nothing. He was just a regular kid from Southern California with regular dreams like you and me. His only superpower - the drive and determination to succeed in the face of any adversity. An everyday bloke trying to find his feet and rhythm and finally landing the job of his dreams with the legendary @tonyrobbins One thing lead to another and he soon stumbled upon @richardbranson who ended up buying his company SmartCharter. So privileged to call Scott a friend, a mentor, and really a grounding force that keeps pushing me out of my comfort zone to pursue goals and dreams that I never thought possible. If you do get the chance to read Scott’s books, I know you can’t deny that it will transform your life and give you the tools to go from just an idea to a thriving business xoxo 🙏🏼👊🏼
  • CONSEQUENCE // Every action you take, whether mindfully or subconsciously has a consequence. Don’t ever think that your actions won’t make a difference no matter how small they are. Before you embark to do or say something, pause, reflect and weigh the consequences xoxo 💁🏻‍♀️💗🌿
  • MENTAL // I’m sure all of you know that the kind of work you do for a living directly impacts on your emotional and mental well-being but how many of us actually stop to think and process this key fact. If you live in a developed nation like me, I think we have much better ways of coping with job related stress through support network, meditations, calming exercises and of course if all else fails, the last resort is to turn to medications to help get back on track. But it’s not so simple in developing communities especially rural villages where families practice generational crafts and are so passionate about what they do. If they were asked to abandon their crafts and start work in a factory to keep up with the changing world, the chronic stress and mental deterioration is enough to kill them because frankly, they don’t have the kind of coping mechanisms we have. However, having said that, their resilience levels are far better than yours or mine. For instance, the rural life of Rajasthan, where our wooden blocks are carved and textiles are block printed reflects the determination of the people to survive amongst the arid sands. Rajasthan is predominantly a desert but these communities practice their generational crafts passed down from the 12th and 13th century and they keep going with the strong will and hope that these crafts will not die in world dominated by fast fashion. Businesses like mine offer them a tiny sliver of hope. On this small business saturday, I want to do a shout out to all the small businessess making a difference and impact in the artisan communities they work with. Tag your favourite impactful small business in the comments below. I’ll start with tagging one of my faves - @krea.collectives
  • THOUGHTS // The only way to manifest and truly create what you want or desire is to turn your thoughts into action. Have a fabulous weekend! 💁🏻‍♀️🌿💗
  • WHITEBALLOON // Today is the national White Balloon Day, a day dedicated to breaking the silence surrounding child sexual assault in Australia and through our community efforts, globally as well. Statistics released today are beyond alarming, showing that 1 in 5 children are sexually harmed in some way before their 18th birthday in Australia – this information is completely unacceptable but is embedded as a way of life for some children. If this is happening in a first world nation like Australia, I can’t bear to think what the statistics are like in developing nations. Many of the communities we work with include single mothers who have been victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse themselves, making their children easy targets due to lack of community protection. Education and financial independence are two of the key contributing factors to stopping these atrocities. Arming people from marginalised communities with key information and education will develop them as leaders and help them fend for themselves. Providing community protection by offering safe working spaces, allowing flexible work options so your children are with their mums as much as possible instead of leaving them with someone else (most offenders are well known to the children and sometimes even the fathers), and teaching them about curiosity and when to speak up when something is not right. Children who are often made to feel like they are not worthy or don’t have a sense of belonging fall prey to abuse easily. There is alot more work to be done in this space but we can all start by contributing to some extent. If you have bought a product from us, rest assured that your investment is directly invested into community building and wellbeing xoxo 🙏🏼💗🌿
  • CHAOS // @deepakchopra couldn’t have said this any better. Think of it as the storm before the calm. Many phases in life don’t go as planned but sometimes the tumultuous journeys and terrain do lead to the best scenic sights. If you are going through a rough period, remember that this too shall pass xoxo 💁🏻‍♀️🌿💗
  • INFORMATION // We are no longer living in a world where information is scarce and you have to jump through hoops and hurdles to source for details or even pay for them. You no longer have to physically visit the libraries or archive offices trawling through books or paper documents like back in the day. Today, everything and everyone is connected digitally and information can be received in milliseconds. Yet, many businesses are not forthcoming about their behind the scenes. Consumers are now demanding change, transparency and best of all good production ethics. They want to know that the product they are holding is made with compassion and dignity, not with hatred, sadness or malice because of unsafe and poor working conditions. We have no qualms putting our hands up to disclose our production ethics starting with the kinds of dyes we use for our textiles. The natural dyes we use are made from organic herbs and botanicals and the synthetic dyes are from @clariant_international - world industry leaders paving the way in sustainable and innovation solutions for dyes and pigments making them one the safest dye companies in the world for infants. Would love to know what one thing you could share with me about your production line? 💁🏻‍♀️🌿💗 📷 @aimee_dow
  • HEALING // This line forms part of one of the poignant poems from @maxwelldpoetry and is honestly, the best thing I’ve read all week. Simple and powerful. No matter what you are experiencing in life right now, this phase right here and now is your healing. It doesn’t have to be graceful, smooth, seamless, pretty or easy. It could be chaotic, hectic and really frazzled but it’s a reminder of how strong you are and how you are recovering to make a mark in this world, even in the smallest way possible xoxo 👊🏼🌿💗
