So last night it I was told by some beautiful women I nominated that the idea of sharing BW picture is to show support for Turkish women who have been murdered in femicides. Their pictures are shown in BW on the papers. I was dumbfounded and heartbroken when I knew, as I have been so inspired scrolling through my IG seeing my gorgeous friends faces, and brands I admire - to see the dreamers behind the businesses, itās been so empowering, and did I make a mistake not doing prior research? I felt guilty and confused . My first quick thought was to delete the post and tell all the women I nominated, but itās too late- their light has already shone through the world with their beautiful BW photographs and I donāt feel right diminishing that light . So with a troubled heart, I researched it. Apparently there have been a few times this hashtag #challengeaccepted have been used for different reasons - all great reasons . I then thought to myself, whatever the reason is, this challenge has brought light to the world. Encouraging beautiful women to shine, to embrace their power, their dreams, to embrace sisterhood and stretch our capacity to love and inspire - this has absolutely nailed the heart of this campaign. When women show strength, courage and unity - thatās when I believe we will trample injustice - absolutely. So my response to this #challengeaccepted ; is . #WESHOWUP . ā Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.ā - M. Williamson . #challengeaccepted #weshowup . We show up for the courageous Turkish women, for the vulnerable women of the world, for our sisters. Donāt mess with us women, we have each othersā back!!!

The other night before going to bed, my 6 years old said to me not to forget to pray that the vaccine will be found soon, because he really want to go back to Hawaii, and so that mama can take him to Paris to eat croissantš„° š„; after that, he prays that all who are sick to get well soon š and that God will protect those we love . What do you pray for these days š„°ā¤ļøšš» . . Photo of us by dear friends @aliceahnphotography; hair and makeup by @lynnyeemakeup š

How beautiful a woman can be if kindness is her true beauty - Debasish Mridha . My little kindy child had to prepare a topic for news the other week, and it is about his favourite place at school. Instead of the playground, the library or the canteen, he said that itās the window to his prep class (his previous class). I was surprised and asked him why. He said, āBecause I love looking through the window to wave to my teacher Mrs Allan, she always wave back at meā . This teacher has touched our hearts with her kindness. When I was going through tough times in 2018, she noticed my sad demeanours and asked me if I was okay. I started tearing up because I was overwhelmed. I felt so embarrassed to have broken like that in front of my sonās teacher!!! I didnāt know her that well š³ . Then she said to me: āI am cooking you dinner tomorrow night.ā I was speechless to say the least . A school teacher, making dinner for a parent. That kindness, touched my heart so deeply that even my little son fell in love with her. She is absolutely one of the most beautiful woman I know. A little kindness, really does go such a long way.... do you know anyone who has been so kind to you that you will never forget her? . Portrait of Ashley captured at our workshop in Sydney.

There was a time when I would have believed them; if they told me that you could not come true . Just love's illusion But then you found me And everything changed And I believe in something again . My whole heart Will be yours forever This is a beautiful start To a lifelong love letter - Sara Bareilles ( I choose you ) . . Yesterday I spent time with my beautiful friend from @hillsandwest and we found that we both had a rather rough week... but then we started to talk about our husbands, of how we are so grateful for them. That yes they are not perfect (who is?!!); but that we love them and that we canāt believe they are ours š„° . Suddently my week took a sharp turn and life is amazing again āļøšāļø . Whatever you are going through, just choose one thing. One thing you are grateful for, and cling on to it. Your day will turn, I promise āļøāļøāļø . Happy Wednesday!!! . . . . .
