So what is it with The Blue Flamingo?

A pink heart

Did you know that flamingo’s feathers are pink because of the carotene in the algae, mollusks, crustaceans they eat?

The right nutrition seems to be essential for these beautiful animals to be their own true selves. 

I want to be that nutrition for you....

I want to nurture you to become your own best friend.

So that you can connect with your beautiful heart and give yourself the love you deserve.

So that you can stand tall and strong in your power, on two legs or one!

So that you can spread your wings and soar like a flamingo in the wild.

Embracing your whole true self.

The Blue ocean

Diving deep into the depth of the ocean...

Uncovering the depth of our being and of our emotions.

Surfing the waves of life.

The infinite horizon with endless opportunities. 

For me the blue ocean is a symbol of a hopeful, positive and empowered perspective on ourselves.

From there we can choose our path and grow. Blue is freedom, the sky that has no limit.

I love being on or close to the ocean, on the beach for example. The endless rhythm and sounds of the waves has a meditative effect on me. I can watch and listen for hours. It brings me peace, harmony and love. Love for the world around me and love for myself, enjoying it all.

Hence The Blue Flamingo!
