Something personal i love to do is keep lucky charms, totems, amulets and find little meaningful treasures and bestow my special lucky powers onto them. Why you may ask? Because its fun and i love it. I receive so much joy from making them and giving them, It is a little adventure setting out to look for them on my travels. I enjoy learning about different people all over the world and their interpretation of a lucky charm or a powerful treasure and what it means to them. Life is so much fun when you give the little things meaning. A tiny little object that yields so much happiness in my life, then this joy ripples into every other area of my life. It has become a very meaningful part of my journey that i cherish, All because of a little meaning i give an object. Let this be your sign to find an object and make it mean something special to you.

May love, luck and protection always find its way to you🗻

What is the point of this toy Hello Kitty, why is it so popular? Hello kitty is not actually a cat despite her cat-like appearance, she is a little girl named “Kitty White” a global icon associated with themes of friendship and kindness however there is so much more to her than meets the eye. When you look at her she has no mouth and no expression this is intentionally designed by the creator Yuko Shimizu that “Kitty White” takes on the owners feelings and adopts how you feel with no explanation required. Just radical acceptance of the way you feel. She is there by your side, Kitty feels how you feel. I think thats beautiful, It reminds you that all your feelings are valid, no matter how you feel you can show up in anyway and Kitty will support you.Not all feelings can be labeled, explained or expressed and that is ok, you are not alone in your feelings despite how complicated they may be or inexplainable to express, She represents you in all facets there to support you unconditionally. People all over the world have found personal grace and belonging through Kitty that is all thanks to The Japanese creator Yuko Shimizu whom deeply cares about the meaning and representation of her work and thought deeply and consciously about how her design would effect people and be incorporated into their lives in all seasons. We are so lucky to have creative thinkers like this in the world producing beautiful things that mean so much to so many. No matter who you are or what you are feeling Kitty White is there to support you ♡

At sunset in the suburbs of Tokyo MoniJones is walking home and turns into her paved neighbourhood street, her eyes briefly glance down and she discovers what looks like a giant red stone outside her apartment building. Peculiarly it is just sitting their alone, out of place but quietly confidently, not bothering anyone, In true form i had to pick it up curiously looking at it, i realized it was squishy and had a leaf on it.

In this moment my beloved neighbour Miko was watering her garden watched me looking at it like a scientist staring up to the sky wondering if it had fallen off a near by tree that maybe i had never noticed. She knows how i think lol.. as we have shared many conversations before, she yelled out and explained to me in Japanese alongside hand gestures

“You wont find its home anywhere around here, someone dropped it” and that its a Jujube also known as a red date.

Something washed over me when i heard this word I was instantly spell bound holding the berry up like Simba from the Lion King on pride rock and whispered to myself “JUUUJUUBEEE”

This anonymous Jujube i found led me to a two hour conversation and what i would call a masterclass by my neighbour Miko on The Jujube and its properties, powers and significance to Eastern culture while i was sitting in her front garden clutching this Jujube in my hand the entire time.

This is so much more than a sweet red date from China used for over 4000 years and enjoyed at New Years Eve, This super fruit Jujube will transform your life not only because of its incredible medicinal properties, rich nutritional content ,internal healing or the rich symbolic value making tea out of the date brings. There is so much more……

The Jujube holds wisdom and an invisible magic, that can only be experienced in its presence. It is believed the Jujube fruit represents the energy of prosperity when consumed.

The Jujube Tree represents resilience and renewal due to its ability regrow from a single root then from this single root the tree flowers with fragrant white blossoms and produces an oasis of the sweet magical red dates. Every part of the tree has purpose and properties to be enjoyed. It is small and an unassuming fruit known for its ability to grow in unexpected places.

The flavour is crisp and sweet like a delicate apple a powerful antioxidant i have been making beauty tea adding ginger and cloves (seen in my photo above) its delicious.

This Jujube has become an integral part of my life in such a short time and i am truly grateful to whoever dropped it on my path.

The Jujube has taught me that sometimes in life the very thing you are looking for arrives unexpectedly from an unusual source, always remain open and curious to the magic of life✩
