A Personal Note: The Difference Between Fighting Yourself and Fighting FOR Yourself

9/11/2018

0 Comments

The voice in my head kept hoping it would be over soon, but she just kept piercing her sharp elbows on my back and calves. The feeling of twenty knives cutting right through my body as I asked perhaps I should tell her to be more gentle with me. But I said nothing.

I laid there with my face down the hole as my massage therapist kneaded my muscles like she was kneading a stubborn dough to make into a loaf of bread. I contemplated telling her to stop or go easy on me.

My muscles were tense. My body kept fighting the "pain", and I refused to lose control. Stubborn and afraid that it would hurt too much-- that it would feel uncomfortable. Refused to let go until I realized...

I was only fighting one thing:

​Myself.

A Road Trip on California's Central Pacific Coast

5/22/2018

It's hard not to think of all the possible Pinterest perfect inspirational quotes that come to mind when I think about how gorgeous our trip to California's central Pacific Coast was. Coming from Southern California--particularly Los Angeles, we don't see all the stunning blues and lushes greens that world can offer. Every color was so vibrant and full of life that the best words I can come up with to describe it is...

Beauty and Gratitude.

Month in Review: April 2018

​As I close out the last week of April, I am just filled with just gratitude. 

Today is my birthday, which is it's what I like to think of as the end of a chapter and the beginning of a new chapter as May rolls in. This month had so many highlights for my business and I'm so glad you're here to reminisce with me as I go through everything amazing that happened.

End of an Era!

A Letter To Past Me

4/24/2018

To the Person I Never Thought I'd Meet,

Where did you even come from?  In a blink of an eye, you stood right in front of me and I didn't even see you coming.

Thank you for saving my life. Thank you for always being there for me and all the cheesy popcorn things I can continue to say. 

Before you, I always thought to myself I could be content being with where I was. And to be completely honest, I really was. To be even more honest, you made me realize that I can be more than just content, but to be truly happy. You took a risk in putting yourself out on a limb, and I took the risk in meeting you off that limb, and I'm so happy I did.

I woke up one morning and realized it was mid-March and wondered what's next for me and my business, and well..my life?
As always, in order for one to know where we are going, we need to know where we are right now.

I'm closing in on March 2018 already and I cannot even believe time is just zooming right by (even more so that I didn't even see the end of February)! Since I didn't get a chance to do a Month in Review for February alone last month, I thought I'd give write up a TWO months in review and explain what's all the chaos been about: the good, the bad, and the ugly.

​Here we go...

The Power of Apology and Forgiveness

As I begin this week's post, I'm thinking about the title The Power of Apology and Forgiveness as these are topics I've been going back and forth in my head these past couple of weeks.

I hesitated writing this, but I somehow keep finding myself resurfacing the idea.

What is the connection between photography to this topic of apology and forgiveness?

From a wide angle, they don't have much in common, if any. But then, if you look at it through a macro lens you see what photography really is. It's a connection between the camera and its subject; the mere idea that you have to feel compelled to capture whatever it is that you are photographing. 

Before I lose you, think about this...

Why does anyone apologize to another? Or why does anyone feel the need to forgive or ask for forgiveness?
