Be Kind...
Welcome to a new season, it's springtime, the clocks have gone forward and we are all looking forward to longer days and plenty of sunshine. It really is a lovely time of the year and perfect for reflecting on everything going on around us. One thing for sure is that we need to remember to be kind. First and foremost, we must be kind to ourselves and as we look around us, we must also be kind to our environment.
Taking good care of ourself is so important and making sure we fuel our bodies with nourishing and healthy food is paramount, along with plenty of exercise and fresh air to strengthen and clear the mind and body. We also need to be kind to the world we live in and to take care of our lands, seas and precious creatures that share our universe. There are so many little things that we all can do which will have such a positive impact and being eco-friendly will serve not just us now but future generations too.
Whether you have a garden or not, plant flowers and herbs to keep the bees buzzing. Be mindful of the produce and products you buy, choose organic and eco-friendly, so we have less waste.
It was such a pleasure meeting and speaking with Tatiana & Michael of Arbre et Riviere who have created a kind and ethical way to planning eco-friendly weddings. An exciting concept where wedding days are turned into unique and very special days, whilst still respecting the environment.
Also be kind to people around you - if you know of someone who may be their own, say hello... even a simple smile goes a long, long way!
