Welcome to the new blog home, where I have transformed what used to be, "Hello, I'm Alet" and given it a fresh start in "The Curious Wildflower" Now I am sure you must be wondering why I came up with the name - The Curious Wildflower.

The Blue Heart Campaign | Human Trafficking Awareness
We all know the red ribbon is a symbol for HIV/Aids awareness. Did you know human trafficking awareness has a symbol too? Have you heard of the Blue Heart? Earlier this year a friend gave me a little blue heart pin. The pin is similar to the red HIV ribbon, but it symbolises something very dear to my heart.

As Women, We are Better Together
We are better together and as women, it is time to end the endless battering and intentionally support and uplift one another! I have recently moved my blog from 'hello, I'm Alet' to this shiny new blog home. Like I mentioned in the post - being successful in the business of flowering wildly, or if you'd like, blooming - you need a group of key people around you!

The Unconventional Beauty of a Wildflower
Unconventional beauty is defined as, someone who isn't beautiful, but pretty gorgeous in their own unique way. They follow this description by saying, a person who isn't beautiful lookswise but pretty charming. I would like to challenge this statement, because, I believe we all have the potential to be beautiful in our own unique way! Wildflowers are a little unconventional. Don't get me wrong, they are beautiful, but not in the conventional sense of a rose! Unconventional ... Read More about The Unconventional Beauty of a Wildflower
