More Description

Born to Bloom Bright is an invitation to tend, enjoy, embody, and fully appreciate the natural beauty within and around us. Full of vibrant mixed media art, the book features a bouquet of lovely artists from all over this wonderful world! Playful poetic verses were crafted using words foraged from seed and garden catalogs then paired with colorful, diverse paintings to create a space for exploration, reflection and reclamation. Jules Ostara takes readers on a symbolic walk through the seeds of possibility while making a declaration of vitality, a choice to grow and flourish, and a sweet celebration of life. This book can be used as an oracle, mantra, meditation, visualization, embodiment, or journaling tool and a healthy reminder that every single one of us was born to bloom! Readers are invited to add your own voice, doodle in the areas around the text, and make this a rich, interactive experience tapping in to your divine creativity. What if the stories we tell ourselves are like prayers or magic spells? "I am a flowering garden, a bird of paradise..." Embrace your sensuality, presence, and flower essence. This book also makes a great gift for birthdays, bridal parties, baby showers, friendship, coming of age, graduation, gardeners, and offering everyday encouragement. It's a combination of inspiration, reverence, art, poem, story, and manifesto: a modern, feminine way to affirm your inherent core worth since the beginning, now and always.
