Be fearless, be a star...X

Yes what I would say to you today is derived from the advice given to me by a dear friend recently. Be fearless. Do not allow others to undermine, devalue or dim the beautiful light that you have to offer to this world. Others may well project their insecurities onto you in their own battle with their self, this is not acceptable, let this be known. For in the very valid words of William Blake: "He whose face gives no light, shall never become a star." Be a star, bright and fearless. x

Love yourself because you are beautiful...X

May you Love yourself so purely that no one will ever have the ability to remove Love from your heart again x.

....think less, 'be' more and remember a beautiful new beginning waits beyond every closed door...x

Regardless of the situation, keep your heart open and love...........................................always...x  

Lost in 'The Lost World of the London Coffee House' by Dr Matthew Green... savoring every word...x

'Can you imagine walking into a Starbucks, sitting down next to a stranger, and asking for the latest news? or slamming a book of poetry next to someone's coffee, demanding to know their critical opinion, before delivering your own in a big booming voice?' p 1

Thanks Joe for this shot today X

This is the face of bewilderment, true bewilderment. You can love a person, support a person, care for a person, offer them kindness, lift them from their past demise and they can still deeply hurt you. Fact. Note to self, I will no longer try to heal broken individuals at my own expense.  

The Photographer

There is a world outside the lens dear photographer whose eye pressed to squint to capture is all there is.
Your day, a hopeful moment wished for amidst the hapless. Squeeze and release, wait, impatience. Sift through the sheets, negative upon negative. So many negatives. A book of flat pressed 'not good enough' types. I sit amongst those. Black and white frames quite separate from the colour section. Catalogued. Your black and whiteness against my colour "Golden" you told me like the 'Wonder' song you played me. Separate. You cannot give more than awkward. Camera to camera, roll in roll out. Day in day out. Doubt kills, your indecision spills like the chemicals in your tray. If only you could see the beauty outside of that cold metal frame.  

"Beauty is in the way the eye chooses to see the world...there is always beauty".

'If your eye is pure, there will be sunshine in your soul. But if your eye is clouded with evil thoughts and desires, you are in deep spiritual darkness. And oh, how deep that darkness can be!' Matthew 6: 22-24
