Check out my photos on Instagram!

I woke up this morning with the urge to take some photos. Here’s my attempt🌼 When I was younger, I really loved to stand in front of the camera & take these kinds of things. But, as I grew older I stopped bc I felt I looked stupid & that my photos lacked a purpose. No one ever told me this, but I could see the look on people’s eyes like they wanted to laugh when I would show them. It was rare but felt rough. I realize now that at the time, I was doing what I could. I didn’t know what to do w creativity as much as I do now— And that is, that things don’t always make sense & creativity can be whatever you want it to be ||| Here I’m at home, finding way to touch base w myself & my childhood interests! I hope that you are all well❤️ #Radiance
Despite the circumstances, I appreciate the switch in many of our lifestyle choices— and, the impact it has in the people that watch us. Our artists friends have been providing their services via screens, our cook friends show us quick & budget-friendly meals, our empath friends share their emotional-management knowledge, & our silly friends just sharing their bit of humor (much needed in times like these). I know I’m thankful for mine!! It shows that we all bring something to the table & that we shouldn’t just ‘take’ but also GIVE...and give FREELY #Radiance . . Currently, working on my portrait skills using photoshop & lightroom. Nothing fancy because I am not there yet🥴 & since I don’t have anyone else to take pics of, here is one of me lol swipe for the before (not the best lightiiiingg ok)
Morning! Well y’all, it’s time to stay in. Not that it’s any different for me since I’ve been doing this for a couple of weeks now (introverts, what’s up!) but I hope you understand that it’s not so much that you won’t get it because you’re not ‘afraid’ of it. But rather that you won’t be carrying unknowingly towards others whose lives can be compromised. This started w a devastating spin to it & many will find it hard to recover. But if you haven’t been affected, & if you can, see the ‘social distancing’ as Earth getting that break or reset it has been asking for. You probably need the break too. Follow your County’s health department instructions & don’t give in to shaming others through social media for the way they felt they needed to cope. I’ve checked in with my friends in Spain & Italy & they are doing their best with the lockdowns. And then, I’ve also seen many of you carrying on like nothing is different. Either way, reach out to your loved ones. I’m sure they will appreciate it. That said, if you feel somewhat nervous, know my line is open. Your feelings are valid & I will appreciate hearing from you #Radiance (Pics from 2017/18🥰)
Beautiful place para el café! Happy Friday loves, we gotta make everyday life a little bit better, however we can, stay golden #WorldSparklePhotos
Rising up through a challenge, whatever it may be, exposes me to many of my flaws. For example, I am a harsh critic of what I produce that, more often than not, I make myself retreat instead. I also long to be consistent in developing my skills (like photography) but find myself distracted by others’ way of doing it. I question whether mine is up there to their level. So this year, I’m learning once again to TRUST & continue to WORK for my goals. I am learning to get out of my head & to GO for it, unapologetically. For me it now comes down to this question: What is life if we don’t shoot our shot?👏🏼 What are you guys learning this year?? #Radiance
Neck to the right, now to the left— wishing you guys a good week✨ My word, I haven’t worked on any new photos in the last week!! It’s been a busy season so far but hoping to get my routine settled again. They bring me harmony & productivity!
Yesterday, I took my first yoga class after being hesitant for the past 2 months. I’m noticing now that this is a thing I do— It takes me some time to gather the courage to try something new or to commit to it. New stuff is ALWAYS nerve-racking & the truth is you are always going to end up courageous enough to do it. Sometimes, we just need time. I truly do believe that there’s a time for everything; & if your time isn’t now, it will be later. Whatever you’re trying to accomplish, don’t quit it just because you haven’t gotten the courage to do it. Leave it in your “to-do” list & get to it when your time comes! The peace & sense of accomplishment after will be well worth it💕 #Radiance Also, WSP received another order from a stranger in the east coast🤩!!! The buyer bought a 16x20” from Salerno, Italy! So exciting🤗 #WorldSparklePhotos
Recently, I’ve felt that the world needs embrace, not hate; it needs honesty, not aesthetics; it needs creativity, not materialism. It needs more & more people to lead by example for the collective good & not for personal gain. I have been more proactive at doing my part at home & although it’s not a perfect process, I feel I could do more. Are you guys leading by example in your communities? If so, please, please, please share & tell me how; I want to increase my part too! Let’s help each other radiate genuine goodness🌟 #Radiance
Two years ago, I asked Christina to dance around the beach lol. Now, it’s crazy to see how much has changed since. She’s still dancing for sure, but my sis is about to take her state board exams to become a Doctor of Physical Therapy & I couldn’t be any more proud of her!! I think it’s awesome to be able to see someone grow & to be able to acknowledge it & use it as a source of inspiration. I can only hope that I go as far as this in my own line of work💕 Happy Sunday, friends...& may all your professional development be timely & productive!! xx
Living life, the way you do, is still living a life. It doesn’t matter if every weekend you wake up in search of another adventure or if you just stay home all day long. What matters is the peace you cultivate within. Sometimes you say yes & other times you must say no; to others & to yourself. Yes, I choose to do this for Future Me. No, I won’t stress about the responsibilities of others. Yes, I’ll stay home to do absolutely nothing so I can recharge. No, I won’t stick around for another lunch-work meeting. My word of the year is “radiance”. And, through it, I want to radiate support for a few things that will better the self (my goals for 2020): 1) Encourage reading one book a month 2) Inspire sooner debt payoff 3) Foster boundaries in educational & professional development And so, my insta for the year will be dedicated to that. I’m too thankful for my past but I’m more eager for my future & much more grounded in my ‘now’. Happy new year, guys!💕
