what the world needs now

today’s mantra: i will be more tolerant of those in my path today acknowledging that all people are facing challenges of some sort.

and just like that #generalmills and #targetfinds have chosen to create #mentalhealthawareness in their #marketing. i definitely did a double take walking down the aisle. my favorite marketing is awareness marketing that shares #love for a customer.

What the world needs now is love sweet love.
Hal David, Songwriter

we ALL have our things. if we approach others with more compassion and less #karen tendencies we may just be able to show a bit more #kindness and truly change the world around us.

our words can make or literally break someone’s day or week or more. so, when we open our mouth today let us think first. unleashed harshness however unintentional can make a huge difference in the course of someone’s mental state. lift up and be lifted. ⬆️

i see you. do you see me?

today’s mantra : i pledge to slow down and listen to others while equally requesting others to slow down and listen to me. 🙏🏽

one day mid-pandemic and #blm a distraught woman came into my office at work. she was explaining her situation. she was lost and depressed and sad. she stated, “i need u to see me.” i simply replied, “i see you.”

Most people do not listen with the intent to understand. Most people listen with the intent to reply.
Steven R. Covey

wouldn’t we all feel so much better if we slowed down to ‘see’ others around us? really see them…their pain, their hard times, their sadnesses?

equally, wouldn’t it feel amazing to be ‘seen’ in every conversation? our anxieties clear. our hesitations felt. our secrets accepted.

it’s all about #love don’t you think? just more love. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

take that step

today’s mantra: i will take one fairy sized step in the direction of a goal today in an effort to feed my soul it’s soul food. 🎂

halloween postcards are here! i feel like I threw a design together quickly to print up BUT I DID IT and that’s the ticket. 🎃 putting cute unicorn friends together with mental health verbiage is a trick but #challengeaccepted !!! i am happy to have these printed up even if i may have no real idea where they are going…??? 😜 all things in good time i suppose.

A dream is a wish your heart makes.
Lily James

HBU? what is your dream goal? how are you going to take one step towards it today?

when we invest time into our goals and dreams we begin to become our own manifestors of our divine potential. the action of following our soul’s purpose brings light to our hearts and pulls us from the dark spaces we may find ourselves in from time to time. Find your soul’s food. Find your inner light. 💡

Dreams without goals are just dreams.
Denzel Washington

peace and joy,

seek the light

today’s mantra: i will choose to seek out the good that crosses my path today.

the messages of light and goodness are there for us daily if we choose to see them…a butterfly flitting by, a sun dog in the clouds, an a-ok sign on a building.

Where intention goes, energy flows.
James Redfield

our energy vibrations will attract what we are putting out there into the universe. be good. do good. and good will flow back to you. 🌈🦋✨

love & light,

we all play our parts

copyright – nina @ the unicorn city project

we can’t always have “on” days. some days are “off”. it’s on those days that we need to pull ourselves to center and step out of the house in whatever character we need to be to get the tasks of the day completed.

All the world’s a stage, and the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances.
William Shakespeare

it’s okay to smile and not be okay. find a friend. have a chat. hug yourself. take another step forward.

today’s mantra: i will allow myself the permission to play a character role today if i need to.

the brave little unicorn

Santa Cruz, California

Meet Ragnar.

He is a unicorn who loves to voyage on adventures to see the world. He especially loves to let his wild hairs fly free in ocean breezes. He loves crashing waves.

Life sometimes crashes all around us. Time in nature soothes the soul. Deep breaths remind us to stay centered and grounded to our eternal purpose on this earth journey.

Find nature today and breathe deep.

Hugs xxoo xxoo,

@mommacorn415

Today’s Mantra: I will breathe fresh air into my purpose.

born to fly

Here we all are. Riding on this rollercoaster called life. We will ride the ups and we will ride the downs. We will laugh. We will cry.

All of this has purpose. The inertia of pain pushes us into territory we never wanted to be in. But pain lessons turn into wisdom. And wisdom is the key to the future.

Today I we are going to ride rollercoasters in Santa Cruz, California. I’m going to throw my hands in the air and scream to the ocean breezes.

I’m going to let it all go so I can spread my wings and fly…

Hugs xoxo,

@mommacorn415

Today’s mantra: I am not my scars.

postcard dreams

My motto right now is, “What the world needs now is mail, sweet mail.”

My postcard test runs are in full swing! I am loving seeing my art come in the mail. My kids are my first recipients of course…rave reviews so far!

“All this nothing has meant more to me than so many somethings.”
Kathleen Kelly, You’ve Got Mail

My current goal is to work on designing one year aka 12 postcard designs to send out to kids.

Mental health challenges are heavy and prevalent now more than ever. My solution is unicorns with rainbow horns along with a heathy dose of communication support.

Thanks for stopping by to read the blog today! I love seeing your visits in the stats. Keep on coming back and that will cheer me on!!!

HUGS and LOVE,

@mommacorn415

Today’s Mantra: I will choose one small positive task today to boost my personal happiness.

Idea: Use the box breathing method to clear head space.

dead end road

School’s almost out for Summer!!! I am not sure about your house but at our house we are soooo ready for relief and reprieve.

Some day’s it does feel like my feet are on backwards. It feels like I’m trying to forge ahead on the path of life but with every step comes struggle.

The butterfly struggled. Right before she came out of her cocoon she watched everything from the darkest space of her life.

And then, she evolved.

Life lessons are sent to test our capabilities. With each challenge conquered, we become stronger. Wisdom becomes our best friend. Our beauty begins to unfold as we become master of the prism of darks and lights within our mind’s eye.

Evolve forward. Walk towards light on the horizon each day.

Hugs xx,

@mommacorn415

Today’s Mantra: I will strengthen my soul by selecting how I expend my energy on all that happens around me.

teeny tiny masks we wear

is this you??

i wrote this a couple years ago about a teenager i know. back then I was talking about figurative masks we wear. now it has even more meaning as we have added actual physical masks.

anxieties are real! make sure to hop off electronics today and practice some positive self care today!

hugs and sometimes prescribed drugs when that is the best remedy,

@mommacorn415

today’s mantra: i accept me as i am.
