This truly resonates with me because as long as I can remember I felt an urge to create. Anything really. The arts just happened to be the true connection I had with the people around me. It enabled me to express myself in ways that were necessary. Whether it was drawing, capturing my vision through a lens, writing and playing music, digital design, creating unique spaces, collage, putting my thoughts and feelings on paper, or painting… I dove in and opened myself up to theworld. Creating was something I was born to do. It keeps me alive. It gives me purpose. The desire that fuels the fire within me will never fade. It’s just not possible. I simply cannot imagine who I would be without it. So I honor the gifts I hold and spread as much beauty as I can. I’m just so grateful.

This year was a turning point for me, mentally and emotionally. There were good things and shitty things, like always, but I’ve felt a shift within me. I’m happy to say good bye to 2018 and welcome the new year with open arms. I see change, opportunity, growth, and happiness in the near future and I look forward to making it all happen. Because no one is going to make shit happen for you. I am taking the hope I have left and my goals for 2019 and putting it all out in the universe. I can’t wait to see what the stars bring me.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wishing you all a Happy New Year! May it be filled with joy, laughter, and love!

You Don’t Have to Be Perfect

A daily reminder that being perfect doesn’t exist. And even if it did, everyone has their own version of it. Who wants to be perfect anyway? I would rather strive to be amazing. For me, for my son, for my family, and for the special people in my life. And the best recipe for being amazing is being YOU at your best. I’ve always worked hard at being the best me I can be and I will continue to improve and grow and evolve till my day is done. At the least, I expect the same from others. We owe it to ourselves and we owe it to the world. The strength we create together through positivity, kindness, and determination is priceless. But it starts with you. And it starts with me. Each one of us is amazing. We just have to allow ourselves to shine.

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.
