Little me in a cosmic sea... I am Monique. I live in Melbourne, Australia. I try to live a good life. I: yoga, garden, preserve, ferment, permaculture, think, create, cycle, do and love. I nature walk and try to turn my life around. I believe that politics and ego blind us from the truth, and we create our own meaning and action. We have but one life in our current incarnations and it is for use to create the world we wish to see. I want to help people reconnect with their true humanity.

Those feelings when you've waited two weeks to try your new Kombucha flavour and then you have to wait a little longer for the Co2 to calm down before you drink it, lest you loose it all to a Kombucha volcano. Bird soundtrack included. #kombucha #fermentation #fermentyourdrinks #fermentation #fermentedfoods #fermenting #fermentista #probiotic #flavour #oregano #orange #co2 #kombuchabrewing #kombuchavolcano #morningchorus #fizz

Struggle-town broccoli. Didn't get enough water during the longest summer ever this year, so there poor little ones are runts and have no sign of flowering yet. The leaves are tasty though and they look pretty. #istillloveyou #urbangarden #garden #broccoli #climatechangeisreal #useandvaluediversity #brightsideoflife #makedo #growyourownfood #growsomethinggreen #growfoodnotlawns #grow #permaculture

Cucurbitacae fruits are amazing. When they are left to over-ripen and harden off, and then picked the right time (when the vibe is dead and its a new moon), the fruits can store for so long. I stirred this white zucchini from April-June before in finally saved it's seeds. #cucurbits #cucurbitaceae #zucchini #giantveg #growfoodnotlawns #growsomethinggreen #growyourownfood #saveyourseeds #seedsaving #seedsavers #garden #urbangarden #permaculture #captureandstoreenergy

A little underdeveloped winter capsicum. The cold and dark leaves them small. Cute! #capsicum #winter #july2016 #obtainayield #urbangarden #permaculture #growyourownfood #growsomethinggreen #growfoodnotlawns #tinyveg

The jasmine is already flowering in June this year. When I was a kid, it started to flower in September. #climatechangeisreal #climatechange #confusedplants #wintersnotthatcold @everydayclimatechange

Trying to find the sun at sunrise (7:35am) this winter solstice morning. The earth has reached the end of its big breath in. Time to begin to breath out again. Big love to those I know enjoying the summer solstice in the north of the earth. #solstice #wintersolstice #sunrise #winter #breathein #breatheout #breathe
