What if, instead of a world filled with fear, hate and greed, we imagined one filled with joy, love and abundance?

​

A place where the goal is to rediscover our wild, untamed selves. A place where we embrace our weird and quirky and are full hope and healing. Imagine if we decided to no longer participate in ideas of division and limitations and instead decided we prefer expansive potentials, and then, one small act at a time, we worked towards it. Imagine what we could create!

​

Reclaiming our personal sovereignty takes strength and resilience. It takes courage and resistance, compassion, and many, many small accumulative acts of love. The reward though.  The reward is remembering that we are kaleidoscopic, magical beings who contain multitudes. And when we refuse to be tamed … well …. Its like opening a portal to all the joy, love and possibilities.

​

We need to be able to imagine something better if we have any hope of achieving something better. So welcome to my imaginings.

​

I see my extended Wild Things series as visualisations of our unique, quirky, exuberant selves. I use them as talismans, acting as a reminder of our individualised personal power.  They could also be thought of as imaginings of your true self, your soul self, your spirit self, your higher self. Maybe they are your spirit guides or your inner child, or possibly your inner teenager full of life, rebellion and questioning. Whichever way they speak to you, allow them to speak to something deep inside, reminding you of who you are before the world tried to stifle you. Let them remind you of your wild.

​

Long may we revel in our magic.
