Ribbon Garland

by Uncustomary | Apr 30, 2013 | Street Art | 0 comments

Right next to my orange balloon, I strung up a bunch of ribbons. It’s a really simple installation, but it’s really beautiful to see all the colors flapping in the wind. Sometimes we need a little bit of color to make the day better.
 
I wish you some happiness on this last day of April.

I don’t believe in pencils. 🚫✏️ I have 1️⃣ one wo I don’t believe in pencils. 🚫✏️

I have 1️⃣ one working pencil at my house for visitors.

And 2 nostalgic ones from my childhood. Both novelty. One Cat Woman and one Little Mermaid. 🐈‍⬛🧜‍♀️

Why? 🤷‍♀️

Because I believe in being confident. 💫

I don’t pencil you in. 🖊️ I pen you in.

I want to do what I say. 📅

And if I DO make a mistake, I think it’s okay to ⤵️

A) start over 🆕

When I was in Girl Scouts, 📛 we had to pay dues. When I was in Girl Scouts, 📛 we had to pay dues.

As a kid, I didn’t really get why. 🙋 Now I do. (due 😉)

Even when something feels easy or is free to attend, 🆓 it’s 🚫 NOT free to put on or create.

There’s a LOT of energy 💥 into anything you participate going on 👀 behind the scenes.

When I started Positive Pulse only 6 months ago, I was just hoping to have a place for a few free resources 🏫 and people to come feel better + get support.

But it kept growing 📈 and so did my energy towards it. 😮‍💨

We have 1,000 people creating the heartbeat 💓 of this lovely community, but I’m the only one sustaining the behind the scenes aspect. 🙋‍♀️

Before my ⏰ time of 🗣️ helping people, 📝 creating resources, 👩‍💻 managing, etc. or even 🪧 promoting it to let people know that this IS a 🌻 safe and accessible space for feeling good and mental health, it costs over 💸 600 a month for me to run. 🫢

This can be an 11K act you do! 🤗 This can be a kindness mission. This can be a way you KNOW you’re CREATING the good news you wish to see. 🌞

Good news needs funding and support, too. 📰

Thank you so much!! 🥰

Hi, I’m Mary England, 👋 your Merriment Maker 🌈 Gr Hi, I’m Mary England, 👋 your Merriment Maker 🌈

Growing up, joy often felt out of reach for me. But through my challenges (mental illness, neglect, addiction) I always believed in finding the good. 

Fast forward two psychology degrees 🎓 and over a decade of experience later, and my mission is clear: help YOU reconnect with joy, play, and your wonderfully weird self, no matter what life has thrown your way.

💖 I run the Positive Pulse - a community of Merriment Makers where adults heal through fun, creativity, and connection. We live in a world full of stress, but together, we can make joy our antidote.

I’m also doing 📰 11 thousand acts of kindness, merriment, and good news in less than a year with the #11KActs project!

Whether it’s through laughter, colorful events, 🫧or rediscovering the playful parts of you, I’m here to remind you that joy isn’t something we grow out of, it’s something we grow into.

Join me in making joy a priority. Let’s create the good news we want to see in our lives. 

👉 Follow me & check out The Positive Pulse for just 89 cents. Let’s reconnect to the joy that’s always been within you.
