This one is entirely for you, Mel.

You are one rare orchid.

You are one of the most brilliant creative beings that I have encountered.

You are not only breathtakingly beautiful but your inner radiance is out of this world.

Your softness is surprisingly found in an hardcore badass pulling off one badassery after another.

You teach me about resilience, about staying true to the work of art and inspire me to become more in tune with my true nature.

You call me out when I fumble, mumble, rumble and stumble in the woods or any other fof.

Your relentless belief in me as an individual, as well as, a creative being is felt in every breath, every intent, every encounter, every intent.

2026 is y.our year and the year when you turn 40. I am the luckiest girl in the world to walk this Earth by your side as equals peers.

My love and appriceation for you extends any other quantitative outcome. Thank you for trusting me with your heart.

It means the world to me.
You mean the world to me.

I'll do my utmost best to honour your relentless belief in me as a writer, poet, artist and co-creator of She Told Me A Story, the House and Pirates of Impact.
