Time to liberate yourself from the shackles in your mind…
“The only real prison is fear, and the only real freedom is freedom from fear.” – Aung San Suu Kyi
This pretty queen – the female Red Cardinal is a rare visitor to my patio. Generally hangs out on the trees nearby waiting for food, which is bought lovingly by her partner! Lucky one… The male Red Cardinal is a regular at the feeder on my patio!
Finally the female one, seems to have gathered some courage to liberate itself from the shackles of fear, and is now trying to sneak in cautiously through the wire netting on my patio!
Overcome your fears… set yourself free! Have a beautiful week!
I’ve been working on overcoming my fears and creating happiness during this pandemic. Trying to help others overcome their fears too. Also nature has inspired me through this journey!

Ang Sun’s story is fascinating and so a quote of her is going to grab my attention. I may even re-post the quote on my Sunday Saying post. I can link back to you as the first source if you like?

Just love the happiness graphic also. So many of us depend on others to make us happy, but in the end, it’s all in one’s own hands. Beautiful Cardinal! ❤
