This plant was a housewarming gift when we first moved to holywood.
⠀
To be honest, it wasn’t a plant I would’ve chosen. Often it looks drab and lifeless, just kind of there.
But over the years, we have bonded - she’s blooms around this time of year. (Samhain 😉✨)
Slowly she started to flourish. And now that I know how beautiful she can be when in bloom, I appreciate her through all the other seasons ;the quieter ones, when she doesn’t look like much on the surface.
⠀
reminds me of myself ✨
⠀
It’s taken me years to feel truly at home here — not just in this house, but in myself. Like this plant, I’ve learned that I’m not always meant to be in full bloom. There are seasons of stillness and rest, and those are just as important. Because when the time is right, the blossoms are worth it.
⠀
also she makes me think of many clients whos transformations I’ve witnessed
⠀
Sometimes, when someone first comes to me, they’re already in their blooming stage 💫radiant, curious, ready to grow even more.
But often, I meet people when they’re in a quieter season — when they can sense there’s more available in life, even if they can’t quite see it yet.
⠀
What I love most about my work is witnessing that transformation — watching as, session by session, more of their true self starts to show.
With trust, consistency, and vulnerability, I get to see them bloom in their own time. It’s such a privilege.
I explain it to students that if we really pay attention, we can get to see more of the client with each session.
⠀
So having this plant in my workspace right now, in full bloom, feels like a reflection of that ✨a beautiful reminder of growth, patience, and the power of nurturing what’s beneath the surface. 🌿✨
