🌷The Bloom Gallery: A Celebration of Our Shared Moments
Looking at the table during our recent book launch, I was overcome with a sense of pure, simple happiness. Seeing these four books—One Moment, One Story, Inner Garden, One Pause at a Time, and Journey Inward, Grow Forward—nestled among the river stones and flowers was a beautiful sight.
But the true beauty was in the presence of those who gathered there.
Tulip Meadows has always been more than just my story; it is a shared space for all of us to breathe and grow.
In preparing this space for you, I leaned into three shifts:
i) From Expectation to Gratitude: Letting go of the "perfect" launch to simply be thankful for every face that walked through the door and every heart that connected with the words.
ii) From Doing to Being: Shifting from the busy work of an author to simply being present with you in our shared sanctuary.
iii) From Certainty to Curiosity: Using a Beginner’s Mind to listen to your stories and see how these pages resonate in your unique lives.
The Sunlight in the Room
No garden grows without warmth, and I am so deeply grateful for the "sunlight" that nourishes my work:
 To my family: My husband, son, and daughter—thank you for being my constant source of light. And a special mention to my little Ashie; though you may be socially awkward and weren't there in person, you are always in my heart.
To my friends & community: Old and new, young and old—thank you for journeying with me through my many moments. You are the reason these books exist.
Seven Blooms of the Journey
In the "Bloom Gallery," there was a simple box of seven tulips resting on a chair. They were not just flowers; they were storytellers of our shared path:
🌷🌷🌷Three red flames:
One for the courage to start,
One for the passion that fuels the work,
And one for the resilience to face every challenge.
🌷🌷Two soft pink blooms: A gentle, double reminder of self-care and the love we nurture within.
🌷One sunny yellow petal: For friends who came and left, leaving warmth in their wake.
🌷A single stark white bloom: An invitation to meet each new moment with a Beginner’s Mind and pure Gratitude.
Gently Leafing Through: These books are now yours. They are invitations for you to find your own peace, one page at a time. If you’d like to get a personal copy for your own journey, they are waiting for you at the Tulip Meadows website: tulipmeadows.sg
Thank you for being the most important part of this story. May we all continue to pause, notice, and bloom together.
Mindfulness Attitude: Gratitude is the soil that nourishes our resilience. When we acknowledge the sunlight provided by others, our collective path becomes so much brighter.
