Blooming roses make me smile.

Thought you'd like a smile, too

A little bit of zen from my backyard in Vernon BC. I'm sorry you're dealing with sad things. Good work reaching out for soul soothing - that's how we get through all this.

May you find peace and joy today, noticing the glimmers and celebrating them. Every little bit helps, especially now while so much is dangerous and awful.

Share your glimmers here, I want to see, too!

Wishing you peace and glimmers. We gotta get through all this somehow. I'm relying on small beautiful things to help me. Maybe they help you too?

I love the visitors that come to my yard!

More types of bees than I've been able to show you, plus the little butterfly who didn't let me get close.

This right here is how I fill my cup. How do you fill yours?

Filled my cup standing there watching it brighten and gain its double - surrounded by the fragrance of fresh rain and lilacs 🥰

With the nip kicking in, Miura wishes you Happy #Caturday, one and all!

Bees! I love seeing them love up the early spring flowers! Yesterday it was violets and a nearly-opened Pasque flower!

Spring fills me with joy and anticipation - exactly the antidote I need to offset all the things, you know? You too??

There's something so hopeful and joyful about little spring flowers! I love that my Scilla are blooming and reminding me that nature carries on regardless of the chaos we create.

From the other day here in #VernonBC

I said what I always say...

"Look guys! A rainbow!!"

Yesterday, the bees were so busy in my yard! They were loving up the Snow Drops and Crocuses.

If you, like me, are thinking we Canadians need our #ElbowsUp, I've got shirts for that.

There's a variety of styles, shirts, decals and more all in my shop.

Most Canadian orders are printed in Canada, including all t-shirts and decals, and RedBubble is an Australian company.

Tariffs are here, so Canadians need to stand together, #ElbowsUp! We'll get through this!

I just added this shirt (and more items!) to my shop so we can wear our defiance - and it's already my bestseller!

Get yours here, #Canada :

Much needed timeline cleanse

Despite all that humans do to cause suffering and uncertainty, life and spring still find a way. I will always be grateful for flowers.

And they are just getting started in my yard in #VernonBC 🇨🇦

Each day I ask my pendulum to find the crystal that we, the Collective, need for the day. Today I actually have time to show you!

My pendulum guided the Collective's butterfly to the Hematoid Quartz to give us the energy we most need today.

We need to act, yes, and stay within our own capacity.

We have to find joy wherever we can. It's absolutely essential.
And so I'll share a little of mine with you. Closeups from my latest 4 acrylic paint pours. Do you see anything in them?

I stamped out new butterflies from copies of some of my acrylic paint pouring, so the Collective has a new purple swirly butterfly! Yay!
