You belong where you feel most like yourself ๐Ÿฆ‹

The last few years have taught me this: belonging isn't about fitting in....

You belong where you don't have to pretend, where you don't have to mask. Where being authentically you is not just accepted, but loved ๐Ÿ’™

Hey everyone ๐Ÿ’™

Just got back from a few days in the ngahere... might be a bit slow getting back to messages and emails over the next couple of days as I ease back into this side of the universe ๐Ÿ˜„๐ŸŒณ

P.S. If you know anyone who needs some self-care time, I still have a couple of spaces in my "Thread Your Truth" stitching workshop next weekend!
