I got this from a group and it touched my heart ❤️

"And yes some snails do lay eggs" 🐌

Hi, I'm a snail 🐌

I know that sometimes you don't like me because I feed on the leaves of your garden or plants.

I give you some advice though: don't kill me with poisons that cause me pain and pollute your garden!

If you put coffee grounds around your plants I will stay away and you will nourish the soil, because coffee grounds are fertilizer!

If you see me attached to a vase don't rip me from there, my protective wrapper breaks and I'll die.

If you see I'm being followed by little virgins, don't intervene, it's my little ones that I gave birth to.

They are born without a shell, they are very delicate! Then, in a short time, nature will endow them with a tiny soft shell (don't touch it, it's fragile!)). My little few survived!

But we are animals useful for the ecosystem, our history is very ancient!

Help us survive, thank you so much. 🐌

I owe myself an apology
For all of the times
I tore myself apart

When I neglected my own needs
Lowered my standards
Berated myself
And put myself down.

For the self-sabotage
I continually inflicted upon myself
And the times when I apologised
For being who I was
And expressing myself authentically.

And I owe myself
The permission to start anew.

To forgive myself
For the battles I fought
That weren’t mine to fight
For all of the love
That I failed to give myself

And for the times when I failed to realise
That rather than being broken
I was worthy of value, respect
And beautiful, brilliant things in life
And that how I treated myself
Dictated how others would view me
And in turn, behave towards me
So by showering myself
With love, kindness, forgiveness and respect
In turn, I could pave the way
For others to do the same.

These are paintings you may want to go look at and own! They are done by my Great Uncle, Lucien Bleyfus, some of these works were on permanent exhibition in my gallery Atelier 10 in Maynard.
Great Road Vintage took an interest in them last December. Now I will be helping them close the show on 3/24 by bringing them to my new studio in New Bedford. Now is your chance to see them in person! Tres bien, indeed!

"We who want to be citizens of the world cannot understand schemes that always end up trampling and enslaving the poorest. How can we understand so-called globalization that does not seek to create world citizens, but only consumers? It does not seek to create a global society, just a global market." — Rafael Correa
