✊🏽Labour Day 2026 ✊🏽

Throwback Thursday

📸 A piece of Trinidad and Tobago's labour history.

Pictured is the statue of Tubal Uriah "Buzz" Butler, located at the iconic Charlie King Junction in Fyzabad. This impressive monument was created by Mr Samuel Waldron of New Village, Point Fortin, to honour the man whose leadership helped shape the modern trade union movement in Trinidad and Tobago.

A lasting tribute to a national hero and the enduring spirit of the people. 🇹🇹

🌸✨ MINDFUL MONDAYS ✨🌸

Peace begins the moment we choose to release what no longer serves our spirit. 🌿💖
Let go of the need for perfection, constant control, and seeking approval from others. Allow yourself to breathe, grow, and flow gently through life. 🌸🕊️

Today, choose peace over pressure…
Healing over overthinking…
And self-love over self-judgment. 💕🌿

May your week be filled with calm waters, beautiful moments, and a heart at peace. 🌷✨
