day 1 - courage

 "Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen." 

- Brene Brown


Courage doesn't always look dramatic.

Today, it is simply beginning. Knowing I won't do this perfectly and starting anyway.

Sometimes that's enough.

fascinating orange roses

In the language of flowers, the color orange symbolizes enthusiasm, desire and fascination.

These pretty framed flowers and leaves are designed by Nana Takahashi aka Nanahoshi, and folded and styled by me.

I am definitely fascinated by the elegant folding sequence of these roses, in idle moments my fingers start folding them all by themselves!

Full disclosure - Chat GPT helped me with this "product photo". In real life, the frame is flatter but the roses really are that dimensional and pretty!
