I took some pictures of my collage responses to Susan's Valentine Challenge today. I live inbetween two parks. In one direction I can walk to Warely Woods which joins with Bearwood Park and these woods are patroned by Julie Walters. I have gone there since I was a little girl .
In the other direction, the park is in a very deprived area. The park itself, is better for children, more slides and climbing frames., but I feel very unsafe there. I don't know why as I do not feel unsafe in the streets around it, and I do the majority of my shopping in this end of town , however there is a very threatening and oppressive feeling here that I always feel everytime I step foot inside this park.
Today, I decided to visit this park instead of the prettier, safe park. I thought if I was going to decorate a tree with valentine love and spread goodwill, this park needs it the most.

are you my favorite fairy or what ?
LS - You are so sweet :) Thank you x
Caio - You made me smile. I didn't feel so brave at the time. It is a strange vibe connected to that place. Other places with terrible reputations do not make me feel this nervous :)
I think you did a wonderful thing today! I'm sure that your actions will make a much bigger impact than if you had visited the other park.
And thank you so much for alerting me to my win on Cheryl's Healing Woman Blog. I never expected to win anything so hadn't checked. Bless you !
Thank you Jules :)
Your healing Woman win looks amazing xx
Sharing of one's self or giving a part of ourselves (our art, for instance) can overflow and move to places we can not see....I think you sharing a part of you might remove some of those dreaded feelings from that spot. So proud of your bravery!!
Hugs,
Regi
So kind of you, Thank you Regi x
Sweet.
So bright & jolly!
Just lovely Jasmine, and it was the right place to leave them.
I love that you decorated the "dark" park, the one that "needed it most"! When I read your lovely post it reminded me of this saying that I think is so empowering:
"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear." -Ambrose Redmoon
Brava, Jasmine ~!~
what a nice thing you did there.
I have extended my OWOH post to
thank you for alerting me to my win at Healing Woman. You are a sweetheart. x
with all those lovely hearts you gave the place a strong positiv energy.
well done!!:))
Very fun, and so smart to put good "Ohm" in the place that needed it more. BTW, I love your William Nlake quote. :-)
Ah, that was a brave decision, going to the park you fear a bit. But you have done a great thing there, you have brought loving engergy to it, healing the park.

Hello Jasmine, Your valentines decoration of the park was a lovely idea and I am sure others appreciated them too. Hugs Judy
I know places that you write about here...nothing visible but with a murky feel...like something is just watching and waiting...When I was a kid I felt that way about walking down halls...my feet would want to run and my body would tingle...
What a wonderful idea to hang your gift of love!
Thanks for stopping by my blog during owoh and becoming a follower.
hug, hug
