Inspired to be a risk take taker

“You have a right to experiment with you life. You will make mistakes, and they will are right too”

— Anasis Nin

Consider and write about this - these are some of the most important mistakes I have made in my life

The best mistake I made was being naive and young believing I knew so much about life and love and struggles. I married young, we decided we could do it all, go to college, build careers, decide to plan having a baby and our love was all we needed. We loved one another but it was much more difficult than we thought. Without that love I would not have become a parent to three amazing people, without his love, my art would not have grown in the way it did, without his love, I am not sure. His love was very important and part of me even though we are not together.

inspired - what should I be doing

Do if the future me came to visit today… what would she be telling me to start doing:

Wow… what should I start doing… I will want to privately write more but instinctively I know that what I am beginning with this inspired life writing is something she would tell me is perfect, keep up with it, grow, smile, be happy and have faith that I am on the right path

Be Yourself - Inspired

“Don’t compromise yourself. You’re all you’ve got.”

— Janics Joplin

List your qualities that you never want to lose

My emotions, that I can cried at a commercial, my heart and love is open, my compassion and ability to forgive. That forgiveness does not mean forgeting or allowed to be taken advantage of, it means putting yourself and who you are above what another has done

inspirited difference

These are some of the rare and quirky things about me:

I choose to be happy, even when it does not seem to come easy. I have one life, this is it and I have to make the most of it. So when I see myself as ‘old’ or not something… I look in the mirror and laugh to change my thoughts.

Here’s our assignment

1. these are some of the things I always do from the heart

2. these are some of the things I would like to stop doing altogether

What does ‘do from the heart’ mean…

This portrait session my clients requested I come to the hospital, such an honor to witness and capture these moments. In looking at mom, this emotion is her, her instinct, it comes from within.

comes from within

is what we are talking about.

So when I am taking an image or creating a print or printing or creating those moments I am truly present, it is coming from within. These are emotions, things I feel.

So I would like to stop trust in my visions with my work always, from the images, to the presentation, the paper, the size. I would like that criticism not hurt me… this is what I would like to stop doing altogether.
