Words are powerful.

 

They can be a warm hug or a sharp knife.

 

Learning to speak to myself in a kind and loving way was a big challenge. And I understand that it can be extemely hard, and even seem impossible when you’re in a dark place.

 

I know you want to run and hide. I did the same.

 

I was fortunate to be supported by friends and family during my journey. Among those amazing souls, it was my counsellor Rosie who planted the seed of self-love and showed me the way of self-nurturing.

 

Though I’m still a work-in-progress, I’m now able to anchor myself with affirmations that speak to me.

 

“I am safe” for when I feel shaky and uncertain.

“I am enough” for when I doubt my abilities.

“I am worthy” for when I feel inadequate.

“I am strong” for when I am faced with challenges.

“I am grateful” for when I can’t seem to make a change.

 

For this collection, I drew inspiration from floriography and combined it with the affirmations, in the attempt to bring you hope and light.

 

May these gentle words be the whispers in your ears when you feel lost, stuck or alone.
