When it’s Time for Change

An intricately wound soul, I am, with a magnetic attraction towards those alike. I tend to wander near individuals who encourage the flow of my creative energy as wholeheartedly as they harvest their own. I enjoy surrounding myself with whimsical characters, abstract thinkers and with those who are unafraid of creating their own rules. I connect with outspoken and often vulgarly colorful languages that decorate stories with emotion and emphasis.

The magic that is constantly brewing in result of the accompaniment of such charmismaric and vavaciois people is a catalyst towards understanding, towards pondering and towards deciphering every detail of life. People who live with Artistic energy seeping out of their existence leave no stone unturned. There is meaning behind movement. There is purpose in the sounds we hear. There is reason behind the unfolding of certain events and it is our mere natural state of being to saturate ourselves with an utter need to listen, recognize and trust. 

Following a path of radical authenticity is a survival instinct and for this I mean the opposite feels quite comparable to succumbing to a premature death of the body and Soul. A close connection of mine, a Woman who vibrates high on a positive frequency and walks with one of the richest Spirit’s I have encountered has told me that in life, I must listen to the chains. They will tell you when it’s time to move, time for change, time to realize when our actions and behaviors stray from our authenticity. The chains will shake you, trip you, nudge you from behind, lift your hair to stand on edge and whisper in your ear all with intentions of redirecting our stride. If we listen closely... if we pay mindful awareness to our inner workings and the details around us... the presence of Universal energy will be unignorable and it is our time to pivot. 

 It is time for change... 

... when your heart feels unconnected.   

... when your body is moving through motions but your mental engagement diminishes. 

... if you long to be anywhere but in the present moment. 

... if you watch the passing time with eagerness only for what’s to come.  

... if your breath doesn’t quicken with excitement.  

... if you hold onto anger, or sadness... if you sit with anxiety. 

... if the energy around you feels debilitating, instead of inspiring.  

... if the walls no longer evoke creative ideas. 

... if you’ve stopped learning. 

... if you don’t understand the purpose, the meaning or the birds-eye-beauty.  

... if you don’t feel free.  

... if you can’t cry, or laugh.

... if you’ve lost the love. 

We must listen.

We must recognize, that in order to live with our whole selves... in order to grow, flourish, expand and improve, we must move towards what pulls us.

It is time to take a risk, to veer left and to unapologetically seek what has always been ours. 

Understand. Act. Radiate. 

As always - ample gratitude, for your presence.

Passion & Talent, Meet Business

As an avid podcast listener, incessant reader, tireless researcher and all around knowledge obsessed introvert, I have learned to exist with an absurd amount of ideas (big and small) bouncing from Left Brain to Right. Fueling my less dominant but alas quite present extroverted persona, is a quality crew of beautifully artistic and ferociously intelligent individuals that share the same tennis match thought patterns with whom I collaborate regularly in attempt to exchange perspectives and keep our mind’s somewhat organized. 

In the World today, there is an influx of technology induced stimuli that b-line their way into our personal bubbles on a consist basis. From the multi-channeled sources of media to the street art lining our neighborhood blocks, we are blessed and bombarded with opinions and information from people working diligently for us to hear their messages. 

Many interests take hold of my time. Sitting high on this list is as previously mentioned street art and the world of Business follows suit close after, having maintained my attention for years. Professionally and personally, I am surrounded by the lucrative metropolis of an industry most minutes of the day. I have divulged into the lessons of great Influencers, marveled over best practices of Billion Dollar CEO’s and scribbled frenzied annotations outlining every “how-to-begin” I could get my hands on. I have collected the in’s and out’s of components like marketing strategies, developing a Business plan, understanding a target audience ect. and humbly recognize these things as crucial catalysts to catapulting your idea into a reality BUT what I have digested and comfortably settled into at this stage of the game is that QUALITY CONTENT is all you need to begin. Period. 

The Earth’s population is comprised of vastly unique human beings with drastically different talents that when puplically shared, bring magic to the rest of society. The one piece of advice I offer any and all members of said society, eager to leap into contributing to World advancement (which should be everyone) is this; figure out what you are brilliant at doing, figure out your passion (if you’re lucky, this will be the same thing) and then pour it into the World with everything you’ve got. Double Down on your strength/s; Photography, Writing, Videography, Illustration, Leadership, Sales, Marketing, Designing, Coaching & Development, Identifying Top Talent (Recruiting), Cooking, the list is endless. Dig into your habits. What do you willingly focus on, to the point of losing time? Understand what you can offer the World and then offer it to the World. Do this for free. Devote yourself to developing an exceptional quality of work and ignore the notion that pumping out a certain quantity of information or products will carry you to success at the start. The rest of this quest will flourish quite naturally and with knowledge implementation as time and experience progress. It is easy to become lost in the details of smaller blunders, which matter, but ultimately do not drive big picture health; your WHY drives health. Your CONTENT establishes and maintains the audience. Share yourself. Share what you know others will benefit from. All else, will grow as you do. 

Ample gratitude, for your presence.

Nature & Serenity

Awoke to an anxiety ridden internal monologue of why, how, where & when; questions and quarrels commonly frequented by a mind endlessly searching for explanations to certain details of the past, present and future  

I knelt and aimlessly rummaged through physical belongings that were scattered among the tattered maroon carpet beneath of me, unaware of what exactly I was looking for but wholly conscious of the need to flip my brain cells inside out in some radical movement evoking a change, as I was expressing through the tangible motion of feverishly rearranging my items.

Somewhere in between folds of fabric was an energy shift just to get out... to feel the Earth. This was the resolution I settled towards.

After a few wrong turns, I ended up in a sea of trees unfamiliar to my routine of using nature as a catalyst for internal grounding; today’s trek began.

As I stumbled between indecision of which pebbled dirt path to wind down first - I took notice of my habitual thought pattern of stern control over my choosing, with intention of making the correct decision as not to waste time. I instantly deemed this quite irrelevant to the motive of my current situation and made a mental pivot to simply remove the grip of my perfectionistic side and go, freeing the ignition of my muscles natural instincts to do their thing uninhibited. 
What resulted from this release, was the exact experience I sought after... 

The World feels stable as I walk. The air swings thinly through the front-lined army of trees, giving life to the now dancing dangles of leaves and as I meander - I turn applause to respect their performance.

The abundance of raw ground beneath of me feels damp, soggy and graciously supportive as it receives my not-so-graceful steps over the uneven terrain while I, in return, feel an overwhelmingly unified connection to its willingness to carry my journey.

Sitting now, remembering to consciously ingest full bodies of air from the depths of my abdomen, my frazzled morning mental state has regained zestful understanding of the big picture; to feel, engage and direct our visions towards light, towards oneness, towards letting it be.

We are as aligned as the strings of bladed grass, as illuminated as the rays breaking the hollowed shadows and as purposefully directed as each road we encounter.

Relax.

Find peace; harvest it to flourish over your being - right here and right now. Let go of control. 

Ample gratitude, for your presence.
