n i n n a l u i n s p i r e d | An Autumn Photo Retrospective

 

 

The autumnal equinox was on September 22nd, 2020 

this year, which spiritually means the ability to express one's individuality

or "oneness" . To celebrate this one of four equinoxes, 

I have put together a photo retrospective of my crafty activities with

 n i n n a l u i n s p i r e d.

During this month of September, I was continuously on DIY fire.

Creating these meaning cards for my healing stone wreaths has been tremenduosly fun

as I used a beautiful geode inspired paper from Paper Source as pictured above.

 

 

 

It's been amazingly fun designing, creating and developing these unique, one of a kind

wreaths as part of one's peaceful sanctuary for a client at 

Sutter Street Folsom's Wolf Home Decor in sunny Northern California.

Wishing and dreaming these wreaths will not only provide healing in one's life journey, 

that it could also be just as rewarding, that it finds a heartwarming home.

As a tribute to our daughter, Trinity Marie. This craft

is a continuation for the reverence of her very short life.

 

 

 

During this equinox, I ordered a custom made calligraphied love poem as a special birthday gift.

This important short sentence from this love poem can be interpreted a thousand ways.

My interpretation is that love has no measurement in distance, and that love will still stay.

By using different stocks of paper, just like that beautiful geode inspired paper, and a wooden frame,

not only adds to the earth element of the gift,

I used a part of that poem written by Courtney Peppernell,

{as the element of (autumnal) air} As LOVE is in the air.

 

 

Lastly, I wish I can reveal this upcoming prototype project,

but it does have something to do with

a water[fall] element

for

n i n n a l u i n s p i r e d.

So stay tuned.

 

Thank you so much for reading.

Ninna Lu | Love Poems That Are At The Edge of My Universe

     These past three years of my healing journey with the passing of my daughter, Trinity Marie, has indeed been a life journey. The first year was extremely difficult and quite a blur. The second year was a little easier, but still a blur. This third year, has been strange with the pandemic occurring. simultaneously. I'm intermittently grieving and extremely grieving and continually grieving. So many people have died over these coming months, that I am not afraid of the causes of this pandemic in my life. I've been through alot, along with my husband, and this third year, made me realize, that the first year was meant to happen again. 

     Love is love and it's difficult. But I persevered and lived through it in full force with my true love with poetry. Below are my select few love poems from my newly discovered poem book, "I Hope You Can Stay" by Courtney Peppernell. These poems have extremely helped me continue to live through my journey in life. I hope this finds you well.

Sensitivity is such an honorable thing. Kindness is not weakness as much there is power in forgiving. When you strip someone of emotions, they become just a shell; it is far more beautiful to let your emotions run wild.

 

 

***********

 

     Going into this chaotic year of 2020, started off with a wonderful family vacation with my husband's family in Hawaii, right before the pandemic occurred. I truly love my husband's family, so much that I realized that I held on to my marriage because of it. When you marry, you not only marry the person, you marry the whole family. Sadly, realizing again, that my marriage failed after the passing of my daughter. The future is unknown and uncertain. But I hope to one day love again at first sight.

     With that, I hope to one day boost my true love of reading by reading more love poems.

As I learn to appreciate these love poems and come across future ones,

I have intentions to spot my ultimate love poem and turn it into a love story that is it for the rest of my life.

To this day, I have written books full of love notes and yet my favorites will be always about you.

One day, you will find a home, and it won't be a place, it will be a person.

And you will be loved in spite of all the baggage and boxes you bring with you.

     Reading these love poems have inspired me to continue to wish and dream for a more contniued freedom while sheltered in place and quarantined, inspite of it all, 2020 has been a lesson learned now. Ice cream is wonderful too, but poetry is love. 

 

Thank you so much for visiting!
