I decided to hide from birthdays about 10 years ago. Instead to celebrate myself quietly. This week has been just that. I have made some orb soaps using melt and pour with Rose Geranium and Sweet Orange.

I think next year we are coming off social media and removing ourselves from third party booking sites that take commission as less is more and there is a need to be true to our values. We have to evaluate whether such time is effective or sharing without true results. Sometimes it is just best to be quiet and sincere. Word of mouth. Although I hate the phone. I think direct website bookings are best for Belleva so people understand what it is about and it’s not money. We are open for four days a week. There’s no rivalry here. As long as staff and bills get paid. I am happy. Thank You!

I am so chuffed with the flowers outside. It meant a lot this year as me and Dad were always about flowers. And I am glad he went on Father’s Day as even without him, there is a celebration of his life. We all loose people we love in life. But it’s how much we miss them that defines the pain. It’s hurt. But there is always love and we have to hold life close because it is sweet. To focus on positive things and a future of contentment with ourselves. It has to start with self. The rest finds us.

Less is More.

PS and happy birthday for last week to Ian’s wife who was born the day after me!
