I heard someone ask this question the other day….who owns you? 🖤✨

The first reaction would naturally be to recoil and loudly exclaim “NO ONE owns me! I am an adult/single/independent/etc!” Because mine was 🖤

But let’s really think about it…how do you live? What are the voices inside your soul saying? Do you make choices based on the opinions or judgments of others? Do you live by someone else’s guidebook for life? Do you stop and think about what someone will think or how bad the fallout will be if you make that choice or do that thing?

Who’s voice do you hear or face do you see in that second you hesitate before doing something you truly want to do?

Authenticity is hard. It’s an everlasting journey of trying to figure out who we are and what OUR path looks like. To recognize the places our feet have been and our own trail to navigate without the conditions or restrictions that other people, other responsibilities, other anxieties and other fears weighing us down.

If you’re feeling heavy and anxious it might be a good time to pause…rest…and start to figure out what you need to do to gain the freedom of owning yourself 🥰

You exist in a world designed specifically for you and no one else gets to touch it…don’t let someone else determine your adventure ✨

There’s no such thing as old. Not in a real sense. Old is a social construct to be able to box people into confinements on the soul that dampen their ability to feel free to express themselves wildly. To be able to throw their hands up and spin around until they want to throw up or laugh so hard they can’t make sound. Old is a blanket you can shrug off any time you want to because it’s not yours unless you claim it 🖤✨

So you, my dear heart, are not old. You are experienced in ways of life and love and connection that mix together beautifully to create the secret recipe that makes you. You contain the strength and assuredness of someone who has touched moments and lives with each fingertip and the gentleness of someone who’s kissed hearts and minds.

You’re truly one of a kind. You could never be old. The very essence of your energy transcends and transforms in such a way that you will always be new and young if you will it to be that way 🖤 they say age is a state of mind but I say age is a conditioning of the soul. A soul knows no time. Energy has no limits. It is fluid and dynamic.

As are you ✨

This is my roadmap

This shows the adventures and struggles and celebrations…triumphs and losses that I’ve survived and flourished through.

It’s my blueprint.

It tells you the stories of the times I’ve cried…sometimes from happiness and others from grief or pain. Whispering the secrets of the things I’ve seen.

This is my magic.

It’s defied odds and grown souls and willed itself to work through every twist and bend and unanswered question of…is this possible. Can I do this. Will I make it.

It is uncensored and raw. It is powerful and strong. It’s soft and scarred.

This is my roadmap. Have you read yours lately? 🖤✨

06/24/2021

You are here.

All the randomness that had to perfectly occur in the world for you to be here in this very moment. Existing beautifully.

How magical is that 🖤✨

What is Soul/Energy Vertigo? Part 2✨

“We do not see things as they are but instead we see them as we are.” - Anaïs Nin

Someone once told me that when I’ve got the spins the best thing to do is to put one foot on the floor so my brain can focus on the sense of being still in that space. So that’s what we do! Make the intentional shift in our perspective to focus on instead of saying “why did this happen to me‽” you say “it was never meant to be any other way”? Both sound passive sure…that you are the recipient of something outside of yourself but it’s actually a side step away from passivity into empowerment! You empower yourself to take control of how you act next because if you stop climbing the stairs when you see there’s another floor to go then you stop moving. Stagnant energy is infectious to your mindset and your perspective. That infection will very quickly send you into a soul/energy vertigo.

So what mental glasses are you wearing? Are you wearing the ones that toss you off balance and give you the spins or are you wearing ones that frame everything the way you need so your soul can focus on being still and collected in that space? 🖤✨

What is Soul/Energy Vertigo? ✨

Close your eyes and take a deep breath…remember the last time you were so drunk that you got the spins. That nauseating, overwhelmed, out of breath, and off balance feeling…like when you were a kid spinning as fast as you can on that wheel of death at the park only now you’re an adult and you can’t quite hack that kind of movement anymore lol.

The same thing can happen to us internally, soulfully, when we lose sight of ourselves and our authentic purpose in our lives. We get overwhelmed by appointments, responsibilities, judgments, criticisms, our own self imposed fears and anxieties or even others assigned labels. We become that version of us that drank too much and got the spins…just trying to hang on and survive until it stops. Does that sound familiar?

So what do we do? When we’re feeling unbalanced and the full effects of a soul/energy vertigo have taken over? Look for post #2

I’ve been struggling lately. Noticeably maybe only to myself because I can feel the way my energy has shifted. Become sensitive and raw so the slightest change in equilibrium knocks me off balance and out of breath. So I’ve been trying to practice being still. Like an episode of vertigo when the world starts to spin and move without me...i work to find a spot. A place to be still to recollect myself. To protect myself.

But I don’t think I’m alone 🖤

We just hit that one year anniversary of 14 days to flatten the curve and so many of us have been separated from family and friends...the world has kind of flipped sideways and upside down and I think it’s caused a lot of us to struggle with that energy vertigo. So what can we do? How do we pinpoint our safe spot to recollect ourselves when the world or things in our life keep tossing us like an undercurrent in an ocean storm?

This will sound cliche. But it’s perspective. Our perspective on the things that happen to us, around us, for us, within us, is determined by the glasses we have on. I’ll touch on this a bit more next post but let me know below if you’ve been going through the same soul/energy vertigo ✨

One of my most favourite things to do when it comes to this little shop is the modelled photos! I love coming up with an entire vision...a vibe...to tell a story about the outfit and the human I’m photographing 🖤

Most often every single photo will have been styled, photographed and edited by me and if you peak at one of my shoots you will often see me crouching in weird positions and standing on things not meant to be stood on (or laying on things that are questionable lol) to get the shot I need to make that vision complete. It’s my favourite thing to do 😍

When it comes to photos of me? I definitely prefer a selfie because I can control all the pieces of the shot. I can hold my body a certain way to hide things I’d rather not see, tilt my head a certain way to mask the fullness of my cheeks, hold the clothing specifically to create an illusion of who I am and what I look like. I am in total control.

But life isn’t like that right? Life is a beautifully orchestrated symphony where every person and every thing works together to play off another and highlight the beauty of the sound next to it. Life is not rigid. It’s not static. It’s not still. It breathes and moves and dances around us calling for us to spin in circles until we’re dizzy with life like we did when we were kids. Fearless.

One of my best friends .connor1 did this shoot for me and I love when we do them together, either for me or her, because we laugh and talk the entire time (which ends up with a LOT of unusable photos because our faces are doing something hilarious 😆) but sometimes we capture a perfectly beautiful musical moment where we are spinning. Madly. We capture the real us totally out of control and see the unique beauty we hold 🖤

Go forth and find a friend to do a shoot like this just for you! To help you meet yourself again and see the light that everyone else gets to see. I highly recommend it 🌙

I had photos taken yesterday of this set I made and I held my breath. I’d been nervous and scared to see what I looked like on the camera compared to how I see myself in my mind. Because it wasn’t in my control...I couldn’t check my position a thousand times to make sure I was hiding the parts of me I didn’t like. So I held my breath. Then I looked and I felt the floor melt away because for the first time in a long time I saw

I’ll be 34 next month and I’ve spent 28 years trying to twist and bend and push and fold this body into a box of what I though I needed to be to be beautiful, valued, worthy and loved. But today I saw.

We are what every book, every song, every poem, every play, every painting, and every sculpture was made of. We are art. Unique. Strong. Powerful. Invaluable. Every one of us carries the scars and moments of the stories we’ve lived but we are here. Worthy. Valued. Beautiful. And loved.

Today I saw my self 🖤 it was nice to meet me again.

It’s been a tough year...Have you met yourself recently?

You are too big to be contained. To be minimized and reduced into a label that was created by someone else so they could define you with ease. You defy explanation. The physical expression of a poem that can never be spoken but is heard in the soul. You are perfection. As you are. Every wrinkle, every shade, every scar, every dream and every moment. By design.

We were designed to be wild...we are nature. We are represented in the forests by trees that are twisted but thriving. Always reaching for the sun and expanding fearlessly to take up exactly how much space it needs. When you start to feel lost...your soul is calling to the universe. Kick off your shoes and go dancing barefoot through the trees ✨🖤
