In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they're still beautiful. - Alice Walker
Another day of the @capturinggratitude project - and my sister @summitjewellery is visiting. We had a beautiful lunch @cherrydarlingsbakehouse, which we ate outside in the beautiful sunshine (it was our first stop after the airport... as it is every time she visits!) I love spending time with her - as we get to let out true weird sides shine.
In addition to being so grateful to have such a wonderful family and special sister, I feel so grateful to have soaked up family time in the sun and to have reflected on one of the lessons of nature today. Namely, the beauty that exists in imperfection - and the reminder to show up. How empowering to show up as oneself - raw, imperfect, and in that, absolutely brilliant.
So, today - embrace your natural brilliance. Be like a tree!
