This journal page is a place for reflection, growth, and ink-spiration—a space where your love for flowers, ritual ink, and intentional living come together.

This space is for you, and all the parts of you that make your life uniquely yours. Life, like a garden, is full of seasons—moments of growth, of stillness, of change. Here, you can explore those moments, learn from them, and take small steps toward living more consciously.

You value intentional living.

You want your days to feel meaningful, your choices aligned, and your inner world nourished.

You want to carry joy into every corner of your life, even when the world feels heavy.

I created this journal to share lessons learned from the garden and from life itself. The lessons of patience, letting go, resilience, and growth. The lessons from tending flowers—how small, consistent actions bloom into lasting beauty.

A little about me: I’ve lived in many places—from a humble ramshackle home in the Philippines, to a San Francisco city flat, a suburban Victorian, and now a hexagon-shaped home in the forest. With each home, I’ve shifted, changed, and grown—just like the gardens I tend. I’ve experienced beginnings, endings, and everything in between. I’ve been divorced, raised children, built myself back up, and discovered again and again that beauty, joy, and love can always grow—even from the most unexpected places.

I’ve been a creative my whole life—fashion design, yoga, painting, and now floral artistry. All of these experiences have taught me that growth is not just about what we create in the world, but how we cultivate ourselves.

Through this journal, I share insights from the garden, stories behind Tiny Intentions Tattoos, and gentle micro-steps for mindful living. My hope is that it will inspire you to live intentionally, to nurture your inner garden, and to celebrate the little moments that bring more joy, nd meaning to your day.

Welcome to this space. May it help you grow and bloom—one tiny intention at a time.

With love,

Charina
