    • Hey everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve pos Hey everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve posted a photo ✨ What an awesome 19 days of reels it’s been so far. Welcome if you’re new here! My name’s Molly. Thought I’d introduce myself so here are some things about me: 👉 I’ve been working for my own businesses full time since I was 21, first my blog/social media and also for my marketing business @faraicreative, and more recently for our community NFP @wa.ethicalcollective 🧡 👉 The last overseas place I visited was Timor-Leste in July 2018, I’ve been travelling and exploring locally since then but hope to see a different country again soon 👉 I’m a Leo sun, Pisces moon, Aries rising, if you’re curious ✨ 👉 The last album I listened to was Blue Weekend by Wolf Alice cause Glenn played in the car and then I was hooked 👉 The first album I ever bought on CD is the Shrek soundtrack (I’m not sure if that says anything about me hahah) 👉 A mixture of interests in fashion, wellness, and travel catapulted me into researching and educating about ethics in business and sustainability, but I would say I’ve always been deeply passionate about a fair, safe, and healthy world 👉 Right now I’m very interested in the concept of embodiment and how we can explore embodiment to heal ourselves and the earth - a bit of that for me is reconnecting with parts of my culture through language and stories 👉 I recently learned the Dutch word ‘uitwaaien’ which is apparently used to describe the exercise of going out into windy weather in nature to refresh oneself and one’s mind. It literally translates to ‘blow out’ 🌬 love it!! What about you? Introduce yourself and let me know something about you! What’s your favourite thing to do right now? What’s your sign? What’s the first album you ever bought?
    I have a new post up on my blog (finally)!! It's I have a new post up on my blog (finally)!! It's been a couple of months and it feels so good to write again. This time: an honest review of Australian sustainable active streetwear brand @zonebylydia, by Olympic gold medallist @lydialassila 🌏✨ Link in my bio! P.S. Did you know that hemp used to be used a lot for clothing and it was virtually wiped out after a smear campaign in the 30s? But hemp is back, baby!! I've got a few hemp pieces now including this new gear. Do you own any hemp clothes? 🌿🌿 #proudlypartnered

    Last night I walked outside to empty the recycling Last night I walked outside to empty the recycling bin. The crisp winter air hit my lungs like a loud, “hello, I’m here!” 🌬 It’s been a while since I walked outside and breathed air so light. There have been occasions over the past 2 years where I would step outside and inhale thick city smog as I walked past a row of townhouses to our communal bins. Something so simple as last night, stepping out, wandering through our own front garden, and taking in the vast southern sky felt like such a relief. I’ve been stumbling across a lot of these moments lately. Staying up past Glenn falls asleep, with Dinah on my thigh, under our own roof on our quiet street thinking, “how can it get any better than this?” 😌✨ Even in this terrible chaos, even in this challenging time, gratitude continues to knock on my door, popping in and surprising me every time. In these moments, I’m not sure what to do next. I haven’t been sure for a few months now. There are many paths before me. I know that. But I think I’m comfortable staying right here, with Glenn asleep next to me and Dinah on my thigh, as I dream into the southern sky, cradled between the oak moss walls of our own home on our quiet street... for just a little while longer 💚
    I don't have the answers, but I have a lot of ques I don't have the answers, but I have a lot of questions. What's more important to you: soul work or social justice work? Can you even separate the two?
    Last night’s supermoon and some moon history for Last night’s supermoon and some moon history for you 🌝👇 All around the world, there are stories about and names for the moon and its cycles. While the Gregorian calendar months are mainly used to mark the moon today (e.g. the April full moon), many cultures used to (and still do) label a cycle of 12 to 13 lunations around the weather, seasons, activities, plants and/or animals of that particular moon cycle. Link to a NASA article in my bio if you want to know more about different cultures, not just the Northern Hem. & the West. The Pink Moon, from what I know (which isn’t much – still learning), was published in the Farmer’s Almanac, a North American periodical which shared both Native American and Colonial American moon names, many coming also from European tradition. The Pink Moon is named after the wild phlox, a pink flower of this time of year in North America. So, while the current moon cycle in the North/West is the Pink Moon/Seed Moon/Egg Moon and so forth, depending on the culture, it feels disconnected to use these names in Australia at the moment (and maybe even year round), where the seasons we experience are not only different to Europe and North America, but vary even throughout the country. In Southern Hemisphere Pagan/Celtic communities (which I am actually familiar with), it’s common to flip the cycles around and use the moon names for the opposite time of year, just like how our seasons are seemingly opposite. So, this current lunation becomes the Hunter’s Moon/Blood Moon/Harvest Moon or many more depending on the culture. As somebody who lives on Noongar Boodja, vastly different to Ireland, I’m still finding it difficult to reconcile my own cultural practices with Country and the activities and environment of this region during this time of year. Is it still the Ivy Moon if all of the ivy is introduced? Is it still the Harvest Moon if it is Djeran, not ‘harvest season’? I don’t have the answers, but remembering where language comes from is important, and I think it’s worth putting the question out there.
