As we move forward into the new year it’s a perfect time to reflect on the last 12 months. How did 2020 make you feel? What do you wish you could have done? What are you most proud of? Were there any lessons you learned? Do you have any expectations for 2021?

This past year was significant in many ways for me. I observed the world around me as events unfolded and was left pretty disappointed overall. But I know that I only have the power to change myself – and my life. So I looked within to find the solutions I needed to keep moving. This is always the answer. Only you know what you need to thrive. And I found that immersing myself in nature and avoiding all negative energy was the key.

I feel like 2020 was a gift. And by that I mean it helped me to focus on what matters and pay no mind to what doesn’t. I’m going to sit back with a smile and watch this new year unfold. Many changes are coming and I welcome them all. We don’t evolve when things are stagnant. And as always I look forward to creating, exploring and continue to have hope for new opportunities.

This year is going to be a good one because I have the power to make it possible. And nothing, absolutely nothing, will get in my way.

Goodbye 2020

I don’t think I am the only one who is happy to see this year end. However, I must say it has shed a great deal of light on my life. Despite the events that have happened I am still able to rise above it all and move forward. I appreciate the challenges because they only make me stronger. The way I see it, you have to find a way to make things work. And this year was a true lesson in doing just that.

As I get older and wiser I know who I want in my life and who I don’t, I have no patience for bullshit and refuse to allow negative energy to drag me down. There is just no time to waste. This life, right now, is all we have. We must make the best of it!

I acknowledge the beauty and blessings I am graced with and am beyond thankful for all of them. I sincerely appreciate the people in my life and am also grateful for the new friends I’ve made and the likeminded communities I’ve joined. Especially at a time when I could use the extra support. And as always I feel so lucky to have a fulfilling career and some of the best clients a girl could ask for.

I hope 2021 brings you all happiness, love and success. Stay positive and smile! Be the change the world truly needs – open your mind and spread kindness. Live your best life!! We all deserve to be wild and free ✌🏻Happy New Year.

Be the Light

We all need a little isolation from time to time. It’s good for the soul to go inward and give yourself the space to just be. Now is a good time to do just that. This current situation is bringing a lot of issues to light. And it’s certainly a time to be aware. I believe there is much more to this virus and although it’s hard for some, we must not let it drag us down. We all need to be strong, brave and resilient to come out on top. And the one thing that will allow each of us to do that is to be fearless. The fear I see people expressing is what I’m most worried about and it’s the one thing that will destroy us all. Don’t let anyone or anything push you to live in fear. Because it will eventually crush you and make the situation much worse, for everyone. I refuse to let fear control me. The only thing I can do is adjust my flow and be positive. As long as I keep moving forward I will be fine. And life does go on. It may feel like the twilight zone right now but underneath it all change is being birthed from the madness. So be strong and focus on the good things in your life. Enjoy your days as best you can. Reach out to nature for support. Stop inviting negativity, lies and sadness in your space. Never mind the stories. It’s enough. Be the light the world needs… and we will get through this just fine ✨

I am feeling a shift in my business and it’s pretty awesome. Lately, I’ve been very busy with projects, booking up weeks ahead, and I can’t say enough how grateful I am to do what I love. There has been many changes throughout the years as my business has grown and now there will be more.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the next few weeks I plan to update my website, feature more design packages, refresh the shop, and start a new stationery series. And since my son will be starting preschool on the 10th, my schedule will allow me more time to work as well.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I feel like a door is opening and my story is evolving. Looking forward to the changes coming my way and excited to share them all with you soon.
