You alive in this life is a miracle.
There is a 1 in 400 trillion chance of being born, and here you are.
Your life is yours, you are a work of art who is here to explore, to have experiences that make you the amazing woman that you are. The desires, thoughts, and ideas entering your awareness are yours to create, to work with, to explore with creativity and curiosity. The choices you get to make are what shape your life and your experiences. There is power in every choice YOU make for you. There is rebellion in being the most you, you can possibly be. Your heart is beautiful and interesting. There is a deep level of trust you create when you honor yourself with decisions that feel expansive in your heart, feel honest and true, deep in your bones. To make choices for your expression of the woman you are is a generous act, the world needs examples of women who create their life.
CREATE THEIR LIFE.
Women who create their life are curious about their depths and take one step at a time in remembering; who she is, what she desires, she search’s for people, places, experiences she loves. The choice to devote ourselves to learning the depths of our heart, our joy, our deep contribution to our life, what we really want; can be scary, lonely, silent, and hard. It is also full of love, revolution, gifts, bravery, courage, and trust.
I had a shoot this morning taking photos of the local area for the library archives. I felt deeply honored that my photos would be kept as a record of local history. The above words came to me as I was preparing for to leave home.
See I have applied over the last couple of years for projects, awards, jobs that I am not well known for and either received a thanks but no thanks or no reply at all. The jobs that I have been receiving in the last few months are because I have made new connections in the that time- What’s the saying about - It’s who you know. I have met new people, we know have a relationship.
See, I decided to listen to myself, to my intuition, to the callings of my heart and the universe is now providing the proof that, that is a good idea; to listen and feel what is true for me.
As I was writing the words above the dividing line, a girlfriend text me. We had worked together for the past maybe 12 years at the hospital, we have spent almost all of those Christmas Days together and I am pretty sure in all that time I have had as many lunches and dinners with her as I have my family. She text saying I miss you, I need to see your face today. She came with me, coffee, and my cameras to the shoot, we drove around talking, laughing, catching up. Oh god, my heart was so full spending time with her. It has been a scary time the last few months of deeply trusting that I have made the right choice in devoting to what I want, to my intuition, to my choices. It has felt silent, lonely and hard. These three adjectives have also been met with love, gifts and trust.
There is no balance, there is duality, there is choice.
MY OFFERS.
Prints
Every Wednesday I will be releasing a print from my archives. I have not created the photos to sell prints, these prints are from my heart for various reasons over the years. I love them. There is a story behind all of the prints written in the description on my website. I hope you enjoy the story and the prints.
No print sales the last two weeks, I am curious to see how this one is received.
Women in the family photo.
This month I have 3 WOMEN IN THE FAMILY PHOTO sessions available - remote and in person photo sessions for women over 40 with their kids, their mum or grandma, sisters.
Why? Because it will make a powerful photo - all the women from the same family in one photo.
Wednesday Coffee
A 20 minute catch up, accountability, brainstorm, it can be connection of 2 women with the same interest, conversation about business, creativity, motherhood. One conversation between 2 women can be incredibly powerful.
Have a beautiful week
Love

“There is no balance, there is duality, there is choice.” I am going to be thinking about this 🙏🏽
