This post is about a recovering mindset as it relates to an addiction to people pleasing. Knowledge without action is NOT powerful, but it has potential. Action taken to advance and apply that knowledge is called execution and within THAT lies power. Now let’s go! </span></p><p class="p2"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span class="s2"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s2" style="font-family: verdana;">Greetings Readers!</span></p><p class="p2"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Happy New Year! I trust each of you ushered in 2024 in a safe and joyful way, and to kick off the start of the new year, I think it is the perfect time to discuss sobering up. So, what exactly do I mean by that? Well, being sober means that you are free from intoxicating influences; to make or become more serious, sensible, and solemn. Heavy emphasis on sensible. Intoxicating influences huh? For most people, that would include the usual suspects: drugs, alcohol, tobacco, sugar or other illicit or addictive substances. Those things that can gain control of you by making you feel stimulated, excited or even euphoric. However, I want to address a more unlikely addiction. One that I have dealt with personally for decades. One that still has many others in a chokehold, unknowingly, and that addiction is “people pleasing”. A moment of transparency for me is acknowledging that I too was once a people pleaser, as of very recent, actually. I had done it for so long that I didn’t realize I had become addicted to it. I have always been that person that everyone could depend on; always very accommodating. It made me feel good, so I made sure I continued to be that person that would always come through. I wanted to always be a blessing. I intentionally used my gifts and my abilities to help enhance the lives of others, but what I found was that the sentiment was rarely reciprocated. In hindsight, I now know that reciprocation is a necessity and is a more than reasonable expectation. Reciprocity is essentially “The Golden Rule” activated and it is intended for mutual benefit. It is a concept that we learned when we first started school, but somewhere along life’s journey, the selfish and self-absorbed conveniently forgot to abide by it. Somehow, they feel a few of the rules no longer apply to them. </span></p><p class="p2"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj90xjctg37V9PQ678HYLHt7WKBNLL2-wGugXgD4Pa_hR9i-116hhikXJ0GW7OP4GITfyAffC-LCMXbxBWiuXR0pLMRhDGa9f-LoHSe6kf-ArLiORG1X5mcENkgkaBMYKkekKKH1hlN8PHbVReMoCwQsASMnb8b7EUMcAe_6i2-k_-dJWZ-1c-IFXfu5RgM/s3719/Essence%20cigar%20pose-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2975" data-original-width="3719" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj90xjctg37V9PQ678HYLHt7WKBNLL2-wGugXgD4Pa_hR9i-116hhikXJ0GW7OP4GITfyAffC-LCMXbxBWiuXR0pLMRhDGa9f-LoHSe6kf-ArLiORG1X5mcENkgkaBMYKkekKKH1hlN8PHbVReMoCwQsASMnb8b7EUMcAe_6i2-k_-dJWZ-1c-IFXfu5RgM/w640-h512/Essence%20cigar%20pose-2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIa8MhdRYvY77wVdZZU1tKWSPFowKhmaYqwPmxnL-EcvhVvPjdoAFwNoBUu0Ha04n_WjQkmWK-w-NH17gVbWZeY1Md-Mmnqjr7viSd-IsN1is1I_USo9gBKezJZ3i4DRL7vwa_BC3Kk2J4KTjyHKW0TqAmHVlG6TK5p_El1VICbMCNgh80pr6jqar3totk/s6902/DSC_5005-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="6902" data-original-width="5522" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIa8MhdRYvY77wVdZZU1tKWSPFowKhmaYqwPmxnL-EcvhVvPjdoAFwNoBUu0Ha04n_WjQkmWK-w-NH17gVbWZeY1Md-Mmnqjr7viSd-IsN1is1I_USo9gBKezJZ3i4DRL7vwa_BC3Kk2J4KTjyHKW0TqAmHVlG6TK5p_El1VICbMCNgh80pr6jqar3totk/w512-h640/DSC_5005-2.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><p class="p2"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p class="p2"><span style="font-family: verdana;">A moment of truth, I was bullied throughout middle school, junior high (I guess I’m telling my age here) and part of high school by the same group of people. I understand now that those girls were miserable, broken and evil on the inside, but I grew to think that it was something that I did wrong to cause them to treat me in such a despicable way. So, I developed a coping mechanism that caused me to go out of my way to prove to others that I was a good person. I overextended myself and made sure I was available, even when I was exhausted and spent. I feared rejection and anyone who sensed it took full advantage of my kind-hearted ways, but I was oblivious. I started making excuses for how badly people treated me. Looking at their circumstances and giving them more compassion than they deserved. Giving people all access to me, while they offered limited access to themselves. In the beginning, I would shower people with my time, my talent and my treasure, because I wanted to make them feel special. However, because I had given them all access to my time and my person, they immediately came to expect this from me. When you don’t know the history of a person… who they are, where they’ve been, what they’ve done, what they’ve been through or who they have been connected to, you don’t have clear sight of the damage that has taken place before you entered the equation. Not everyone has good intentions for you, and many come with an agenda and plans to use you, if they determine you will provide them with what they need to achieve their goals. So, while I was always happy to help, they were always happy to receive more. I had officially become a people pleaser. </span></p><p class="p2"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB0ITDpSURGeSdOBMuiPkmeWcxGcBBugM3xxgaYXu-EmsJmDD4GMTjRpoXfffKjEF8nlrEQSnV0zbBUmoCrg6cYqfzyyN3trVvCtvIasW5yYxtMAVcfjCjpgEIMB-K6AefxmzUh6RKAOUwiLrXtWj5rm1fc_Vfpcc1H5UKe43Ho8FgY6MUUoup6NidtmVL/s4981/_DSC7319-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4981" data-original-width="3985" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB0ITDpSURGeSdOBMuiPkmeWcxGcBBugM3xxgaYXu-EmsJmDD4GMTjRpoXfffKjEF8nlrEQSnV0zbBUmoCrg6cYqfzyyN3trVvCtvIasW5yYxtMAVcfjCjpgEIMB-K6AefxmzUh6RKAOUwiLrXtWj5rm1fc_Vfpcc1H5UKe43Ho8FgY6MUUoup6NidtmVL/w512-h640/_DSC7319-2.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbAMYJFf5aS3yFga-GJBtylI5v-47GH8A4wlCj5h37hk_L54jcf8fTYatCVVXU9HK6BHlytKDDU38frjIJ24hc7UhOm_If-bsBSeNge8d-32pktr4IiO8AYdrWnz0n6pX4bw0twlAnEoMSMsDBrrsQZp8mOEJGRGknVvXY01rRlo7nCKUfkaZkh4n9q3jc/s4823/_DSC7323-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4823" data-original-width="3859" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbAMYJFf5aS3yFga-GJBtylI5v-47GH8A4wlCj5h37hk_L54jcf8fTYatCVVXU9HK6BHlytKDDU38frjIJ24hc7UhOm_If-bsBSeNge8d-32pktr4IiO8AYdrWnz0n6pX4bw0twlAnEoMSMsDBrrsQZp8mOEJGRGknVvXY01rRlo7nCKUfkaZkh4n9q3jc/w512-h640/_DSC7323-2.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitmyoR8y-yOWa0SyjvousXDrS9nptc7oF32UCzXqRk6pFy7ZV0RyGKTkRhLvkPJQ7fuLjPuqXcCsZ4Al9w27_6BI2Hj-vpHeASY_m6JMjGGLgbwziHFyp255EwPeBpL06LBJEufj0kSnJB8twaHOphoqqLA_DIVOGOf_Ab4mXxCgZPwZNsLd4BCoaJ-i5A/s4872/_DSC7330-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4872" data-original-width="3898" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitmyoR8y-yOWa0SyjvousXDrS9nptc7oF32UCzXqRk6pFy7ZV0RyGKTkRhLvkPJQ7fuLjPuqXcCsZ4Al9w27_6BI2Hj-vpHeASY_m6JMjGGLgbwziHFyp255EwPeBpL06LBJEufj0kSnJB8twaHOphoqqLA_DIVOGOf_Ab4mXxCgZPwZNsLd4BCoaJ-i5A/w512-h640/_DSC7330-2.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p class="p2"><span class="s2" style="font-family: verdana;">There is a popular phrase that has been around for years that is often used when it comes to dealing with people that states, </span><span class="s1" style="font-family: verdana;">“Hurt people, hurt people.”</span><span class="s2" style="font-family: verdana;"> Well, I like to say, “Broken people, break people.” Many will never tell their story, because they see it as a weakness and are afraid that others will use it against them, but trust everyone has one. It is impossible to take the fragments of someone else’s broken life that you did not destroy and put them back together for them. That burden is not your responsibility, it is theirs, and it is a compromise you shouldn’t be willing to make. Your wellbeing should be your priority, and as a part of the process, so should well set boundaries. Although they can’t put the pieces of their shattered life back together and expect it to look like it did before, they can still retrieve the scraps and create something new and beautiful, but again, it’s up to them. Don’t become the person they use to help them repair their life, because if you do, you run the risk of them leaving you just as damaged. I had to learn that “No.” is a complete sentence and a healthy response, and you should do the same. Once I decided I was done with compromising my own happiness for someone else’s when their only intent was to manipulate me, I began to move different… strategically if you will. Now to protect myself, I intentionally distance myself from people and situations that trouble me, cause me trauma on any level, or that do not serve my greater good. I am now in a peaceful place, and I love it here. </span></p><p class="p2"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKsKSLw-41cb1GzEriF_6KRSGxdPTyhLRO-SDFUC6vdxNP8iXWJCqOfrNsVHhrRSxbvycbsb-vghMXKoAiMAMWu-vL_KiEpdjNZNH8gpAjV7pUubC2NZdijkzWk7dWVa4FgFYLQEJO5_OVC-zk-rHmG74T2Ffn9UtfMD2VQ5kqL-oEOd-T5NrVtwBp9GpW/s4516/_DSC7343-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4516" data-original-width="3614" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKsKSLw-41cb1GzEriF_6KRSGxdPTyhLRO-SDFUC6vdxNP8iXWJCqOfrNsVHhrRSxbvycbsb-vghMXKoAiMAMWu-vL_KiEpdjNZNH8gpAjV7pUubC2NZdijkzWk7dWVa4FgFYLQEJO5_OVC-zk-rHmG74T2Ffn9UtfMD2VQ5kqL-oEOd-T5NrVtwBp9GpW/w512-h640/_DSC7343-2.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYsM6XicArm42kjSLE2YEGDp1FtfICxB8l99pNo3vWMSGWZs8aMHvuqYx20wgE0l9jYePGve7kZk3Cytv5aV44FAXCH_5xzT7yWYavjoDaUqZtMh12syORWjqhluo7CJRN2xdip8DkHgtCjL5rr2kFNw6BOGTzr7Likp4przvWWlKc2W-64Er-E9h8XR4e/s4337/_DSC7349-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4337" data-original-width="3470" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYsM6XicArm42kjSLE2YEGDp1FtfICxB8l99pNo3vWMSGWZs8aMHvuqYx20wgE0l9jYePGve7kZk3Cytv5aV44FAXCH_5xzT7yWYavjoDaUqZtMh12syORWjqhluo7CJRN2xdip8DkHgtCjL5rr2kFNw6BOGTzr7Likp4przvWWlKc2W-64Er-E9h8XR4e/w512-h640/_DSC7349-2.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsGHXc5BNjCcTWAokVh5udgXd2jFtGjRkwzRft8fhuVABeVsKZyT3nRNjjYNiPy7DCtrAdARkFjlWot3JXjUF-kNd0aXufsMMHj5Y4RU2zv-vJ1r3F4PgNtNPFDMWBNgMtPPxdtmehDRZJmaPsHXeqQFUZrd_6fesRXxB2ZXekujw8yXyBanv0dAje1FhX/s7352/DSC_4942-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="7352" data-original-width="5881" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsGHXc5BNjCcTWAokVh5udgXd2jFtGjRkwzRft8fhuVABeVsKZyT3nRNjjYNiPy7DCtrAdARkFjlWot3JXjUF-kNd0aXufsMMHj5Y4RU2zv-vJ1r3F4PgNtNPFDMWBNgMtPPxdtmehDRZJmaPsHXeqQFUZrd_6fesRXxB2ZXekujw8yXyBanv0dAje1FhX/w512-h640/DSC_4942-2.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6LWRjn1fyGqd5Ea6CyikzYW9mZ_DqCm2XjePTwi97sC6bgK_bUZsX0I7k2oTQIMsT511F8Sx_SAARxgiDWzabWLhdYdgyjDNjrwFpxAf-ZJ_Opg8riLs_AKz11IaYa5UW0UVBkCqQK6miLC7kWiQERJbBfBjDjJu4YatTDBBlK_U7Cafqk7xV_wsv-_MW/s7305/DSC_4991-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="7305" data-original-width="5844" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6LWRjn1fyGqd5Ea6CyikzYW9mZ_DqCm2XjePTwi97sC6bgK_bUZsX0I7k2oTQIMsT511F8Sx_SAARxgiDWzabWLhdYdgyjDNjrwFpxAf-ZJ_Opg8riLs_AKz11IaYa5UW0UVBkCqQK6miLC7kWiQERJbBfBjDjJu4YatTDBBlK_U7Cafqk7xV_wsv-_MW/w512-h640/DSC_4991-2.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p class="p1"><span class="s2" style="font-family: verdana;">Last thoughts:</span></p><ul class="ul1">
<li class="li1"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span class="s3"></span><span class="s2">If someone is committed to misunderstanding you, let them. Don’t waste your time or your energy trying to explain yourself or trying to make others comfortable in a situation you did not create. Some people tend to stir up drama, discord and confusion simply because they are miserable. </span></span></li></ul><ul class="ul1">
<li class="li1"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span class="s3"></span><span class="s2">Pay attention to attempts to manipulate you the FIRST time. Stop giving people the benefit of the doubt and the opportunity to continue to control you. You saw what they did and you heard exactly what they said. Don’t let it confuse you and have you out here questioning your own worth. Don’t let it go over your head.</span></span></li></ul><ul class="ul1">
<li class="li1"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span class="s3"></span><span class="s2">Life can be sobering. Be always in pursuit of a better YOU. When you focus on those things, you won’t have the capacity to give attention to what others have going on. </span></span></li></ul><ul class="ul1">
<li class="li1"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span class="s3"></span><span class="s2">Don’t blur the lines when it comes to your relationships. Know where people stand in your life and what value they bring to it. If they don’t bring any value, why are you there and what purpose are they serving?</span></span></li></ul><ul class="ul1">
<li class="li1"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span class="s3"></span><span class="s2">Remember that reciprocity and respect are requirements in EVERY relationship, so if that is not your experience or your expectation, then it is possible that you too are a people pleaser. Here is help with that addiction.</span></span></li>

How dare you?<br /><br /><br />How dare you be someone worth admiring? How dare you be intelligent? How dare you be gifted? How dare you have the ability to effectively communicate? How dare you have less than me, yet still make me feel as though I don’t have enough? How dare you have strengths that make me feel as though you have exposed my weaknesses? How dare you not acknowledge and celebrate me, despite my blatant refusal to celebrate you? How dare you not dumb yourself down in my presence so I can feel important? How dare you be so secure in the knowledge of who you are? How dare you? Now, let’s talk about Envy.<br /><br /><br />You know, I have never understood exactly how envy works. Like how someone could have more than you do financially and a higher status in society, yet still envy you. It took what feels like a lifetime of learning before I realized that it isn’t even about the money, the material possessions or status, but it’s about you. Your ability to radiate a light no one can dim. Your ability to create magic from a simple thought. Your ability to excel seemingly effortlessly. Your ability to intimidate the insecurities in others. Your ability to drive people to dislike you just for being you, or could it be that favor and anointing that they see all over you? Understand this… people who are consumed by their own desperate need for validation will be aggravated by your confidence. They will throw not so subtle shade, they will find reasons to nitpick, they will be passive aggressive, they will laugh at your expense, and they will go low whenever they “sense” you are getting the upper hand, because they feel it is their duty to humble you. How dare you not feel the need to be validated, when they see you as flawed and wonder why you don’t seem to view yourself the same? They watch you relentlessly, because they can’t help themselves, but are completely unaware that you see them.</span><div><div style="outline: none;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="outline: none;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="outline: none;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZDwU26fMFDNgYFa4ksnTfrKXyXBq8CbqQ88dBukQPmmRLkOd4etp44CMWgpi49t6LspACzPhOJrDFa3x3K8J7Cw0PQKthist4YVjfVva4NmNtYXMbnJPmBztcDcpxQHVEzJchbB0H3bFSbS0JUDCMDuLG8jnW177vYyjAg4coA2EEyG7Uu-E_mpEPZmSI/s6016/_DSC4241-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="6016" data-original-width="4813" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZDwU26fMFDNgYFa4ksnTfrKXyXBq8CbqQ88dBukQPmmRLkOd4etp44CMWgpi49t6LspACzPhOJrDFa3x3K8J7Cw0PQKthist4YVjfVva4NmNtYXMbnJPmBztcDcpxQHVEzJchbB0H3bFSbS0JUDCMDuLG8jnW177vYyjAg4coA2EEyG7Uu-E_mpEPZmSI/w512-h640/_DSC4241-2.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc-Gw-sYxAvMSnHdSkir0T6pzzd9gPM1uK0d5SwSUM0sNdkXsQySW6ft5XeeVNiBroGbfuPkRuEQjwbQsluz4YxthjCVyoSVairUjDiLvvnDZUjn7JVAqeWYivCl-zs2bSJ9YpzvgrMIju8a2AnWf8bUBNhJshp1qxOlHR0Prqhc6HAuEf8lb-S-5sKdpi/s6016/_DSC4230-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="6016" data-original-width="4813" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc-Gw-sYxAvMSnHdSkir0T6pzzd9gPM1uK0d5SwSUM0sNdkXsQySW6ft5XeeVNiBroGbfuPkRuEQjwbQsluz4YxthjCVyoSVairUjDiLvvnDZUjn7JVAqeWYivCl-zs2bSJ9YpzvgrMIju8a2AnWf8bUBNhJshp1qxOlHR0Prqhc6HAuEf8lb-S-5sKdpi/w512-h640/_DSC4230-2.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div></div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Let’s be honest, envy is nothing more than intense feelings of disappointment redirected and aimed at someone else. That is called displaced dissatisfaction. It is projection. Envy comes in all forms, from success, to physical appearance, to popularity, to intellect and competence, to opportunities, to God-given gifts and the list is truly endless. It all starts with the mind games they play on themselves when they look at others as either competition or a come up. They start to watch and compare, and we all know that comparison is the thief of joy, right? They are so caught up and fixated on others, they refuse to deal with the fact that their misery is the direct result of not dealing with their unaddressed childhood trauma. It has nothing to do with anyone else. If someone else’s blessings and gifts make you feel some type of way, go seek some help.<br /><br /><br />Social media doesn’t make things any easier. In fact, it only intensifies those feelings of inadequacy and diminishing self-worth, especially if all they do is sit around watching the pages of people they actually admire, trying to find the imperfections in their lives and in their relationships. Looking for ways to critique and criticize and throw more shade than a cloudy day, because after all, it’s got to be fake anyway. No one is THAT happy. Searching for traces in a post that prove you feel the same way about them as they feel about you, because they desperately need to know that their bad behavior is justified. Feeling targeted by social media posts and memes, because they read them through the lens of a perpetual victim. Hanging out in someone’s stories but never liking a post on their page, as if they’re invisible? We all know that no one watches you harder than someone who cannot stand you, but still wants to know what you are up to. How about the ones who read your posts and never acknowledge them online but will bring them up the very next time they see or talk to you. People who refuse to show public support for you, do so because they secretly don’t like you or have been privately discussing you. Engage your spiritual discernment and don’t waste another drop of energy on people who do not add value to your life. </span><div style="outline: none;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; display: inline; font-size: 12pt; text-size-adjust: 100%;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="outline: none;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; display: inline; font-size: 12pt; text-size-adjust: 100%;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="outline: none; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA1AVHHVG9UnLQ3hzy8HFFKkXZTXFryHx9q-RA6KwOzVdHlpN4FG3QU4igenFBQc-jM6yaQAfTsycE689er5s_Li2-xgJYSjz3dRjRMeKRuGL9KrYPpeZo0FxWXrANfCArng6_vKq7Ch7xilN8V7U3bFxkIiCcMMec2d4Lncoi5dhErtKbxPjGbT0cFBIr/s5540/_DSC4250-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4432" data-original-width="5540" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA1AVHHVG9UnLQ3hzy8HFFKkXZTXFryHx9q-RA6KwOzVdHlpN4FG3QU4igenFBQc-jM6yaQAfTsycE689er5s_Li2-xgJYSjz3dRjRMeKRuGL9KrYPpeZo0FxWXrANfCArng6_vKq7Ch7xilN8V7U3bFxkIiCcMMec2d4Lncoi5dhErtKbxPjGbT0cFBIr/w640-h512/_DSC4250-2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4RAGkQh99AhBRtF9Llx_I0Ex4mTBCYvbUZBe4dR06gXTXx7Ywbi6SEj_SqDDR-jdpFfJRsD1sBxaMYc9ZexnK1RJfisXYIIDzJsrSHExFdaBP60QO2fnnjJ72GiYorGchxqmpZUd4tYHxHYySmHtYKw6JEQ1tTQc0jKjQjK4mR7Li-Awna7bLy4V-x7iT/s6016/_DSC4280-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="6016" data-original-width="4812" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4RAGkQh99AhBRtF9Llx_I0Ex4mTBCYvbUZBe4dR06gXTXx7Ywbi6SEj_SqDDR-jdpFfJRsD1sBxaMYc9ZexnK1RJfisXYIIDzJsrSHExFdaBP60QO2fnnjJ72GiYorGchxqmpZUd4tYHxHYySmHtYKw6JEQ1tTQc0jKjQjK4mR7Li-Awna7bLy4V-x7iT/w512-h640/_DSC4280-2.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><br /></span></div><div style="outline: none; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Do you ever wonder why some people act peculiar towards you, especially around others? Why they seem to avoid you, never speaking first or acknowledging that you are even present at all? When you know you have done nothing wrong, yet they treat you like you stole their inheritance, don’t doubt that what you are seeing is envy. You see envy has nothing to do with money, power, title, education, social status, or influence. Envy at its very core, is knowing you possess something they do not feel you are worthy of having, regardless of what it may be. It’s not what you do, it’s the fact that it’s YOU. Maybe people love on you publicly, maybe you can work a room gliding through with ease, maybe, just maybe you are a creative beast while they struggle to come up with the first idea. Sometimes people will look down on you to make you feel like they do. Envy will smolder below the surface for so long that folks will forget WHY they don’t like you, but they will never forget that it’s true. Bless their hearts. <br /><br /><br />Let’s wrap this… it’s always been said that “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery”, but I think it’s just a lack of ambition borrowing from another’s genius without permission. The envious don’t know any different, so all they know to do is attempt to duplicate the vision. It’s quite irritating but remember, they can always copy, but the paste will never equal. They could never create a sequel. It will never be as profound or moving trying to do what you are successfully doing. It will never be as authentic as the original, so when you find yourself surrounded by a sea of envy, accept that there is something special about your potential. <br /></span><div style="outline: none;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; display: inline; font-size: 12pt; text-size-adjust: 100%;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="outline: none; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC7U1OJOUUidfIhB_HAAXJraj9ptECsmNMzq7qURvsn1fi4oE3EAoUwUBdkbnH_ftBIkcbIJO0iMi1S-D4GD2w9bRLmDMJvGofZtfTZYQeL6zinWJOYiBRRe7ZeY_1ecV4tYgx7Xc2Q27VZVooi6kL7v6sB4CLns_mn7gDD2wPQqyS5YKVMRg6LuLWx1_3/s5020/_DSC4354-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5020" data-original-width="4016" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC7U1OJOUUidfIhB_HAAXJraj9ptECsmNMzq7qURvsn1fi4oE3EAoUwUBdkbnH_ftBIkcbIJO0iMi1S-D4GD2w9bRLmDMJvGofZtfTZYQeL6zinWJOYiBRRe7ZeY_1ecV4tYgx7Xc2Q27VZVooi6kL7v6sB4CLns_mn7gDD2wPQqyS5YKVMRg6LuLWx1_3/w512-h640/_DSC4354-2.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirJbP3ltjHj9EODhinLlklm1eY_Nwm0cCOwiAkUkcqFo3sgFm5BfjyTogkFk1KD-8Pa-wudNKkB_--rwW4mI0i4UAHRYD1UHksSLzW-aI5YL2ibv4f4fCG6QqKZcBTzj7BNokrMthZT7phVZ7wsgwV1eNuYx2C34NW0N2UClqNhCA2xqrPSZWPDipSFm9Z/s6016/_DSC4347-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="6016" data-original-width="4813" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirJbP3ltjHj9EODhinLlklm1eY_Nwm0cCOwiAkUkcqFo3sgFm5BfjyTogkFk1KD-8Pa-wudNKkB_--rwW4mI0i4UAHRYD1UHksSLzW-aI5YL2ibv4f4fCG6QqKZcBTzj7BNokrMthZT7phVZ7wsgwV1eNuYx2C34NW0N2UClqNhCA2xqrPSZWPDipSFm9Z/w512-h640/_DSC4347-2.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;">It was beautiful day to shoot this concept, right at the golden hour.

Even the caterpillar knows the way to experience elevation.” ~Angela Shannon Ponder</i></span></p><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Greetings Readers!</span><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><div><span><br /></span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Excuse me while I take a moment to <b>Reflect</b>.<br /><br />When I look back over my life, I recognize that I have learned many critical lessons… some good and some not so much, especially over the last decade or so. I’ve learned a lot about myself, what I like and what I don’t like, what brings me peace and what disturbs my spirit. I’ve also learned a lot about people. How they can distract you and throw you off course and how they can drain your energy stores if you let them. Each new year brings me greater understanding of my purpose and reveals to me a clearer path to get there. However, just when I think I am making a little bit of progress, here come the distractions again. Now don’t get me wrong, I do realize they have purpose as well, but I had to learn to balance my life and put all things that did not add value in their proper places. To do that it required me to have an elevation kind of mindset.<br /><br /><br />My peace is <b>Resolute</b>.<br /><br />Let me tell you a little bit about peace. Peace is comforting. It’s calming. When the world is full of noise and gloom, peace is like a soothing sound in a silent room. Peace is preserving and once you get a taste of it, you will refuse to allow anyone in your life that threatens to disturb it. Yet there is one important aspect about peace that we should understand… not everyone knows how to access it for themselves. There are those who will even try to engage with a catalyst thinking they can help them crack the code. Truth be told, there are some really unhappy people in this world who are struggling with the absence of discipline, a lack of ambition, low self-esteem, fear and the inability to improve their own quality of life through skill, intellect or creativity. These same people will, unbeknownst to you, make YOU the object of their misery, simply because they can see the joy you are experiencing in your life and they don't know how to tap into it. NEVER let them draw you into their circus or make you feel bad about being happy. You are neither the source or the solution for their issues, so leave them with the freedom and opportunity to figure things out on their own. Be at peace with placing distance between you. Be okay with walking away. Their internal battle is not your concern. One thing I know for certain… at this stage in MY life, I refuse to pacify anyone else’s paranoia or insecurities to provide them with a plethora of peace.</span><span><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: verdana; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnqiyonjLJztdfy4Id60Ty7pv2uEIaWjNrOTGvuEaM8q4qIzseWRaisI4iG7iGI8YTRyAGuUZXXerkQdFJXMVZvO-NQ3nPS2HjQffxvx3MX5FXdjaaSyKIct7AQXvWZtFasFsX_x-5Jqq178oYdVnEulcNTyscF3PUdwNcb6qlhv_06UeQxm-F6Opqzg/s3342/_DSC4431-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2626" data-original-width="3342" height="502" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnqiyonjLJztdfy4Id60Ty7pv2uEIaWjNrOTGvuEaM8q4qIzseWRaisI4iG7iGI8YTRyAGuUZXXerkQdFJXMVZvO-NQ3nPS2HjQffxvx3MX5FXdjaaSyKIct7AQXvWZtFasFsX_x-5Jqq178oYdVnEulcNTyscF3PUdwNcb6qlhv_06UeQxm-F6Opqzg/w640-h502/_DSC4431-2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: verdana; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoXVcNMyI7yg0V4X9_ylOS9f9r_VaFKe_PhHA2k3AEYEq9bAyQHHUtybthYEPzOH8JI7WfZNwZhnf8xpTMiX6_KHa2j5YWd8Qyd0fhaQ1-Br6Fha3d70psTT-Re7AxqHRYzEjaXZSXOQWYc2tn6ZFRK-3gg_YlQBojqnjJVGmgi_B6FJCKynHBeh-PIg/s3056/_DSC4419-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2445" data-original-width="3056" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoXVcNMyI7yg0V4X9_ylOS9f9r_VaFKe_PhHA2k3AEYEq9bAyQHHUtybthYEPzOH8JI7WfZNwZhnf8xpTMiX6_KHa2j5YWd8Qyd0fhaQ1-Br6Fha3d70psTT-Re7AxqHRYzEjaXZSXOQWYc2tn6ZFRK-3gg_YlQBojqnjJVGmgi_B6FJCKynHBeh-PIg/w640-h512/_DSC4419-2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><span><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: verdana; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIK7t79OiWjF3yiade1xWcJmVUoVjAq8UAhqh9IHB8jvImFj4EvNtFTD9Tkc1ggrlpti8zUkNy3KdsaJU4tFgGPc7c1BWYK4jG9-zFRIAH3eGyavdb6QFEf7qSz8JGDtMCeaUXyCoLP1HdZoOByFkyl-iLQ8aC2WplLao932KXfVwq-5p8ZHkzNLg7gQ/s3783/_DSC4417-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2972" data-original-width="3783" height="502" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIK7t79OiWjF3yiade1xWcJmVUoVjAq8UAhqh9IHB8jvImFj4EvNtFTD9Tkc1ggrlpti8zUkNy3KdsaJU4tFgGPc7c1BWYK4jG9-zFRIAH3eGyavdb6QFEf7qSz8JGDtMCeaUXyCoLP1HdZoOByFkyl-iLQ8aC2WplLao932KXfVwq-5p8ZHkzNLg7gQ/w640-h502/_DSC4417-2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><span><br /></span></div><div><span><br /></span></div><div><span><div style="font-family: verdana;">My energy is a <b>Resource</b>.</div><div style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: verdana;">Elevation sometimes requires you to go into isolation. It is occasionally necessary for you to step away so you can heal from experiences that may have left you bruised, reflect on possibilities, and discover new and exciting opportunities. It calls for you to step aside so you can prioritize you: your peace, your purpose and your passions. You are deserving, especially when you assess just how many demands you have on your time. Personally speaking, I am intentionally impactful in all of my efforts, so if I am called to fall back, my energy is missed. However, instead of me redirecting my energy to my own hopes and dreams in that moment, I tend to give it away, sometimes to people who are not even worthy of it. So many people need you, they lean on you for advice and guidance, your creative mind, your structure, your resources… you know, your time, talent and treasure. Yet with all that you have going on, sometimes you neglect a major part of your life that needs your attention in order for you to advance to your next level. Do you want to know what that is? YOUR GOALS. You are distracted daily, and going into solitude every now and then will help you recalibrate and silence the noise that continues to grab your attention. The noise that is diverting you from doing what you need to do for yourself, to instead do what you feel you have to do for others. So how can you elevate if you rarely devote the time? Let’s go deeper.</div><div style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: verdana;">Let your decision be <b>Resounding</b>.</div><div style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: verdana;">Be intentional. Elevation requires separation. It’s not personal, it’s purposeful. In other words, make time for yourself. Today… give yourself grace for the unhealthy patterns and decisions that you have made in life that disturbed your peace or prevented your progress. Going forward, honor order in your life and remove yourself from the company of anyone who creates disruption. Make it a point to not retain toxic ties. For your own well-being, they must be severed as soon as they are identified. Get to a place where you no longer waste energy where reciprocation is not respected. Remember that empty vessels in need of a refill are in search of someone like you for a fill up… never pour from an empty cup. They are not entitled to your abundance, so if you are not consciously and selectively supplying from an overflow, tell them, <b><i>“NO.”</i></b> Be authentic and true, because authenticity produces confidence, empowerment and alignment. Unauthentic people do not understand that assignment. Stop feeling guilty for your ambitions. You don’t owe anyone else anything and guilt will only give way to opportunists who come with an agenda… and the gag is, their intentions will never benefit YOU. Finally, stop waiting around for a handclap of praise. Learn to succeed without being affirmed and validated, clap for yourself when you need to be celebrated, and take time away to prepare to be elevated. You owe it to yourself.</div><div style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: verdana;">We are so grateful that the gorgeous Tomecka Patterson joined us for this concept!

It’s just not going to happen. People are miserable and they are out here holding grudges over nonsense, intent and misunderstandings, and generally those people are not trying to get clarity. They could not care less. So if they don’t like you and you know you have done absolutely nothing to harm them, then they don’t want to like you and that’s a personal problem that you need to leave them to deal with. Moving right along.<br /><br />Stay on your grind and in pursuit of your dreams. Continue to enjoy life, love who you are, and be comfy cozy in your beautiful skin like a chenille blend. Do not let anyone else disturb your groove or destroy your mood. They are evil and they are after your peace. It’s clear that there is something about you that causes them to reflect on their own individual lack. If you have a special gift or ability, if they consider you more intelligent or more educated, if they assume you are more successful, if people are instinctively drawn to your good-natured spirit; and my personal favorite, if they cannot CONTROL you, then nine times out of ten, they will not like you. The latter is actually the most dangerous, because a person that cannot control you will try to change the narrative and influence how others perceive you. Those kinds of people will speak negatively about you to anyone who will listen and inject their own disdain for you then flip it, as if YOU are the one with the ill-feelings. Unfortunately, those who listen to the discontent will believe everything they hear about you instead of using logic in their discernment. But that’s their issue, we’ll move on.<br /><br />All of this unwarranted dislike is the direct result of pressure applied. Whether you are a man or a woman, it can be intimidating to come face to face with someone who appears to have their shit together, particularly if you don’t. When a person not only has goals, but a plan and the ability to make it happen, that is pressure. When someone is bothered because you're attractive, that is pressure. Pressure is applied anytime favor is on full display and there is nothing anyone else can do to change it or benefit from it. Some will get irritated and think that it's their responsibility to knock you down off of the proverbial high horse they think you are sitting on... with rigor. These poor pitiful souls are envious and they want what you’ve got, so I guess pressure is like a loaded gun and they're triggered. Know your worth and never let anyone else assess your value. Keep on shining.<br /><br />You can have humility, you can be friendly and outgoing, you can live a life of discretion, but it does not matter to someone who has been made uncomfortable just by you being your authentic self. They can’t stand you! The truth of the matter is that a person can admire everything that you do and they can love everything about you and still not like you. I believe Jill Scott said it in this way… <i>“If I could give you the world on a silver platter, would it even matter? You'd still be mad at me.”</i> Don’t waste your valuable time trying to clear things up with someone who is already dazed and confused. You don’t owe them your side of the story. Let them believe whatever it is they want to believe and you continue to get good sleep at night. Lean in... I’ll let you in on a little secret. You can’t be extraordinary without first being extra. You can’t be outstanding if you’re too afraid to stand out. Keep letting the world know what you’re about, apply that pressure and if you do, you won’t die with greatness still stuck inside of you. My god-daughter, model Jasmine Murphy bodied the persona for this concept, but I knew she would. She always applies pressure and brings the heat, and I would expect nothing less.

The theme for this year's concept was <i><b>"Mr. GQ"</b> </i>and let me just say that the models did not disappoint. Just to give a bit of background, the term G.Q.<span> originates from the Gentleman's Quarterly Magazine (later renamed GQ Magazine). In popular culture, "GQ" refers to a good-looking, fashion forward, well-groomed man. Basically, someone worthy of being on the cover of the magazine from which the word derives. It is a very complimentary term, not bestowed upon every man, but one who is polished, has impeccable style and exceptional taste. A GQ<span> man is </span>authentic, effortless and capable of making a statement... without saying a word. </span></span><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span>The <i><b>"Mr. GQ"</b> </i>group concept featured models Alexander and Lawrence, two gentlemen who completely embodied the essence of the GQ man. Special thanks to all of the creatives who participated in this year's project: Sheila Upshaw, Reneka Swims, Otis Robertson, </span>Carl Edmondson, Dedrick Roberts and of course, Sean Ponder. Please enjoy samples of their work from the project. Until next year! </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Sheila Upshaw</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: white;

It’s been a while. So I decided to take a different approach with this blog post, and make it a poetry piece that I wrote, to change up my style. For this concept, we got the chance to work with the GORGEOUS Tomecka once again... we hope you enjoy it!<br /><br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">You can feel it when you’re in the presence</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">of a woman with powerful energy.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">She is undeniable.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">She’s captivating, almost intimidating,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">yet draws you in for more…</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">That’s what they call allure.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Her confidence can overwhelm you,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Like a rushing river can consume you right?</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Her mindset, like food for thought,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">satisfies the insatiable appetite.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">She’s the kind of energy that can’t be diminished.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Magnetic, when she walks into a room,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">she owns everything in it.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Intelligent, commanding, capable, aligned,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">She’s not just beautiful on the outside,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">that’s aesthetics,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">But she’s got a beautiful mind.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">She is compassionate with a deep understanding</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">of the human condition.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">She advocates for those in need;</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family:

style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">A bold beauty wrapped in mahogany dipped skin,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">She’s an enigma.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">She is zen and she holds within,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Divine knowledge and wisdom.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">She uses it to nurture and raise powerful children.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">She is mother in the earth,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Her hand rocks the cradle of the universe.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">She invests time and energy into her legacy,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">and she does it with such vibrancy.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Her aura is contagious, absolutely outrageous.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">You can’t absorb it all at once,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">You have to take her vibe in stages.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">She’s amazing and she’ll keep you in a daze;</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">If you breathe too deep, you’ll catch a contact from the haze.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">There’s just something about her that intrigues you.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">She stays on your mind when she leaves you,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">and it grieves you.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Take your time and let it process my dear,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">because this one here,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">She’s from beyond the stratosphere!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">She is drenched in self-love, self-expression,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">and self-admiration.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">She is pure elation and sweet manifestation.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Just like cosmos and constellations,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">She’s deep like thoughtful conversation.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">She is class and sophistication.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">She is walking validation.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Just so unapologetic,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">She’s got that flow, it’s so poetic.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">She is truly energetic,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">and it’s ALL GOOD, copacetic.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Brighter than the stars on the darkest night;</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Ambitious and creative, she’s a prototype,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">She has insight, so she could never lose in life.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Her experience is either a blessing or a lesson,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Crafted in the Creator’s image, she gives reverence,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Pure essence.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">She is effortless and uncompromising,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Realizing that with or without she is whole,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">a complete and conscious soul.</span></div><div style="font-family: trebuchet;

Classic like the warm-up suits. Classic like the Gazelle glasses and see-through chiffon… classic like the Caprice and the Fleetwood Brougham. I know this is not my first time underneath the sun. Some call it deja vu, I call it things I once knew; but either way, my recollection of the things of old, gave me an experienced </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">soul. From the time I was a little girl, I’ve loved everything that spoke to a particular era, namely mine. As an adult, things like old school values, good manners, respect, hard work, classic cars, timeless style and culture, old school soul music and of course hip hop (which for the record started with Generation X, but I’ll get to that later), really tickle my fancy. </span><font face="Trebuchet MS">A good ole throwback is always in order if you ask me. Nothing like remembering where you came from and where it all started. For that very reason, I tend to embrace a lot of today’s music when they use tracks from songs that were released during my day, not all but a lot. It takes me back to a familiar time and I like that; although the lyrics they use bring me back to reality REAL quick, it’s still nice when they give a nod to the originals. Oh and let us not forget the vinyl records… listen, those are treasures that only OG’s and the best DJ’s around know anything about. The official vintage artifacts from decades of good music. </font><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">Respect to the genres that have stood the tests and transition of time.</span></div><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><br></span></div><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; text-size-adjust: auto;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZmIfDy-61JY/YSW2Up75hrI/AAAAAAAAEEE/3q0DyGpWItgr7Jqu_5WoynCRCPdvv_4RwCLcBGAsYHQ/s4225/_DSC4070-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4225" data-original-width="3380" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZmIfDy-61JY/YSW2Up75hrI/AAAAAAAAEEE/3q0DyGpWItgr7Jqu_5WoynCRCPdvv_4RwCLcBGAsYHQ/w512-h640/_DSC4070-2.jpg" width="512" id="id_7b5f_3088_55ac_c165" style="width: 512px; height: auto;"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q95Vh3yT9Fs/YSW2UhJtveI/AAAAAAAAEEA/Aa_FeR-ycWc5sK6pvIGdKHmD1cPGBUqqACLcBGAsYHQ/s4877/_DSC4095-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3902" data-original-width="4877" height="512" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q95Vh3yT9Fs/YSW2UhJtveI/AAAAAAAAEEA/Aa_FeR-ycWc5sK6pvIGdKHmD1cPGBUqqACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h512/_DSC4095-2.jpg" width="640" id="id_424a_c214_ecbf_da67" style="width: 640px; height: auto;"></a></div><br><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LBjhx9DQ_EQ/YSW5nLBSkDI/AAAAAAAAEE8/sDVYOAdvB-ovx_lEL48rQBPRIqcgX5y6gCLcBGAsYHQ/s3300/_DSC4117-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2550" data-original-width="3300" height="494" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LBjhx9DQ_EQ/YSW5nLBSkDI/AAAAAAAAEE8/sDVYOAdvB-ovx_lEL48rQBPRIqcgX5y6gCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h494/_DSC4117-2.jpg" width="640" id="id_7352_aeb8_e1d9_e94" style="width: 640px; height: auto;"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">When we were young, we played outside with no phones or pagers, </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">and we knew to be home before the streetlights came on. We rode bikes with no helmets or safety pads, rode in cars with no seatbelts, and caught rides in the back of pick-up trucks with nothing to hold onto but the side of the truck itself, even on the interstate… now dig that! Families were close back then. Get togethers were a regular occurrence and we always saw our cousins! </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">Friday nights were spent at football and basketball games and Saturday nights, well you could always find a few of us at the skate rink. I can remember getting my first pair of roller skates one Christmas and spending days and hours in our garage learning how to balance myself. Not sure how long it took me, but once I had achieved at least an intermediate skill </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">level,</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"> I took my skates to the street to test them out publicly. Before long, I was moonwalking and skating backwards to Midnight Starr, Whodini, and Roger and Zapp around the rink like a boss! I will always have those memories, but you won’t catch me in skates nowadays. Falling over forty is NOT a game to be played! </span></div><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><br></span></div><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; text-size-adjust: auto;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u8U7pR9Bo6I/YSW2hvsVc9I/AAAAAAAAEEI/rH9_lSmFYt8eXciaRSZqNw1FwPfDSD2WACLcBGAsYHQ/s4187/_DSC4179-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4187" data-original-width="3350" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u8U7pR9Bo6I/YSW2hvsVc9I/AAAAAAAAEEI/rH9_lSmFYt8eXciaRSZqNw1FwPfDSD2WACLcBGAsYHQ/w512-h640/_DSC4179-2.jpg" width="512" id="id_525f_dfb8_4c77_af50" style="width: 512px; height: auto;"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ggYVCtrVwGk/YSW2h8aQd4I/AAAAAAAAEEM/fpwQJklKOm8xiPTGcXgVj5U2fiGshd1KgCLcBGAsYHQ/s4082/_DSC4186-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4082" data-original-width="3265" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ggYVCtrVwGk/YSW2h8aQd4I/AAAAAAAAEEM/fpwQJklKOm8xiPTGcXgVj5U2fiGshd1KgCLcBGAsYHQ/w512-h640/_DSC4186-2.jpg" width="512" id="id_37e4_d631_4f31_8374" style="width: 512px; height: auto;"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-i2dW9iN6lP8/YSW2h3iedOI/AAAAAAAAEEQ/GgVHB0jdqx4HTjr_SX_i0kDMs8fF288RwCLcBGAsYHQ/s4845/_DSC4194-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4845" data-original-width="3876" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-i2dW9iN6lP8/YSW2h3iedOI/AAAAAAAAEEQ/GgVHB0jdqx4HTjr_SX_i0kDMs8fF288RwCLcBGAsYHQ/w512-h640/_DSC4194-2.jpg" width="512" id="id_d2a8_bc30_7c26_d04c" style="width: 512px; height: auto;"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPVbl9e7katOdj5H_C1N9_xhezXxasIeccngsPnuGtFVZ04CmiTrQBDFSGwBTwMr9JTboUMdThB5Tn_Gpm7Pg9CXBorqmOxs-d6E4GX25yoUj_SVOQxjeGZarFJK1kWKdOGD64Cfivw6Q/s3128/_DSC4195-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3128" data-original-width="2502" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPVbl9e7katOdj5H_C1N9_xhezXxasIeccngsPnuGtFVZ04CmiTrQBDFSGwBTwMr9JTboUMdThB5Tn_Gpm7Pg9CXBorqmOxs-d6E4GX25yoUj_SVOQxjeGZarFJK1kWKdOGD64Cfivw6Q/w512-h640/_DSC4195-2.jpg" width="512" id="id_82a0_bac9_781a_4409" style="width: 512px; height: auto;"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-L-2tv1aU9UU/YSW2iBpdB-I/AAAAAAAAEEY/6mlyQidjlfgUmWPchGh_z6XAmB27VWNnQCLcBGAsYHQ/s4721/_DSC4205-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4721" data-original-width="3777" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-L-2tv1aU9UU/YSW2iBpdB-I/AAAAAAAAEEY/6mlyQidjlfgUmWPchGh_z6XAmB27VWNnQCLcBGAsYHQ/w512-h640/_DSC4205-2.jpg" width="512" id="id_d692_b35b_746d_c6d4" style="width: 512px; height: auto;"></a></div></div><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; text-size-adjust: auto;"><font face="Trebuchet MS"><br></font></div><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; text-size-adjust: auto;"><font face="Trebuchet MS">I’ve always been an avid reader with a hunger for knowledge, so you could always find me with a book, a pen and some paper close by me. I stayed armed with those tools and yes, we actually used to read books back then (some of us), so our mindset was different. We were on something else. One of the mothers at my old church used to say, <i>“Every generation grows weaker and wiser.”</i> So much truth and it’s wise to listen to the wisdom of the elders. So why a post that takes us back down memory lane? Well for one, I’m a storyteller and it’s what I do. For two, I think it’s important to pay homage to the generations that came before us and to acknowledge some of the things that made the period of their existence special. For three, I’m a PROUD member of Generation X… you know, the generation once thought of as the one who didn’t care about ANYBODY, but is now taking care of EVERYBODY. I found it worth noting that, in addition to the hip hop culture being birthed out of OUR generation, </font><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">it was also during our time that the personal computer became common AND the mobile phone was developed. Essentially, we are the group that stays bridging the gaps in life and technology (wink).</span></div><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><br></span></div><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">For this concept, we got the chance to work with the lovely and lively, Cayla once again!

Twana Jarrett offered us a glimpse of high society and divine feminity in her recent concept photo session to celebrate and commemorate her milestone 50th birthday.

This year our project was</span><span><span face=""trebuchet ms", sans-serif" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; text-size-adjust: auto;"> <i style="font-weight: bold;">"The Ugly Location Challenge"</i>. The idea of this concept was to find one of the most unattractive, grimiest of places to shoot and still achieve a glamorous, high fashion image. The weather was absolutely perfect and made for a great day of shooting from on top of the rooftop and inside the garage. </span></span></span><div><span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: verdana; text-size-adjust: auto;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span><span face=""trebuchet ms", sans-serif" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; text-size-adjust: auto;">Each creative was asked to submit their favorite images of the day for each model to be on display in this wrap up blog post. Please check out everyone's skills below and follow them on social media! </span></span>What will be our project idea for 2022?

I truly could go on and on, but these are just a few of the things that lead me to my most zenfully sweet experiences. Moments that create for me serene peace and restoration. Simple indulgences that allow me to just submerge my mind and soul into a divine overflow of vibrating, feel good energy. Life is beautiful, not perfect, but beautiful. Especially if you take into account that life is more than what happens to you, and more of how you respond to what happens. Life definitely has a way of throwing your whole vibe off balance and interrupting your rhythm and candence with the Universe. However, in the end, the most fulfilling part of any journey is overcoming adversity successfully, and enjoying the fruit that is produced from your valiant efforts. Let’s take a walk... shall we?</font></div><div><font face="Trebuchet MS"><br></font></div><div><font face="Trebuchet MS">So if I were to take you on a deep dive into the depths of my thoughts and how I process information, and reveal to you my level of understanding, could you handle it? If I revealed to you that which gives me the drive to live with intent and intensity, could you manage? If I gave you a glimpse into the process I go through to define who I am… to determine the path I choose to take, and my ability to make a firm decision without doubting myself, and without the help of external influences, you may think I’m extreme. Maybe just a little, but I like to call that “balance”. Since about the age of 10, </font><font face="Trebuchet MS">I’ve had wisdom beyond my years and could write from a perspective I should know nothing about. I am confident this is not my first time here. </font><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">So in my wisdom I stand firm in my own identity, unwaveringly, and if I could offer any advice, I would suggest everyone decide today who they are for themselves. If not, then you leave space for a broken vessel to come in with their own idea of who they think you are or who they want you to be, and create confusion and disruption in your air space. Never allow someone who is clueless about their own identity to cause you to doubt your own. You should never give up that kind of control.</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"> </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">Don’t lose your sense of peace for the opinion of someone who may be in pieces.</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">You see, the thing about broken vessels is that they do not realize or acknowledge that they are broken. Instead of turning their focus inward to address the perils of their own sinking ship, they deflect their feelings of insecurity and emotional abandon onto others in an attempt to point out (in great detail) the holes in another one’s boat, while avoiding the sight and significance of their own shipwreck. Like castaways on a deserted island with nothing but time and opportunity on their hands, they deliberately choose to look outside of themselves for issues to repair in others, all while their boat is continually filling up with water and descending fast. The real repair is internal, but I digress... </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">I believe that we all evolve not just in our physical bodies, but in how we think as well, or at least I hope so. Personal discovery and acceptance is important to our emotional development, in addition to expecting the same of others. As empathetic beings, we should always extend grace to others to be who and what they want to be, and we should heal that part of our ego that expects everything and everyone around them to remain the same always. Life doesn’t work like that.</span></div><div><font face="Trebuchet MS"><br></font></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><i><b>“There is nothing in life quite as nice as that pure, authentic peace.” ~ Angela Shannon Ponder</b></i></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Now I've never been one to want to complicate life. I like to keep things slow and easy. I prefer to float as opposed to fighting against the current, and when the elements seem to be too much to bear, I rest in the peace and flow of the atmosphere. I don't need the hustle and noise of life nor do I need to be amongst the crowd. I am in love with my solitude. I try to engage with it often and within it I experience divine manifestation. I joke often that my mind never sleeps, even during rest... dreams and visions consume me. As a highly intuitive type, I am often submerged in deep thought. When I FINALLY do relax, I try to become in tune with mindful motion, and open myself up to all creative possibilities (you know, that co-creator vibe). </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">Like water, I will continue to move where I choose to move and how I choose; immersing deep within and doing it without resistance, to allow positive change to continue to unfold naturally in my life. Remember that wisdom? Yeah, nothing can stand against it. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">This concept was deep for me and I needed to create it in and around one of my favs... a body of water (there is just something about water). Well, I knew I needed someone for this concept that would embrace it and not be afraid of it, so Shayla joined us again for another project and she did an AMAZING job!

From this place of strength, she is capable of loving the world in a way that transforms pain into promise...” ~Debbie Ford</i></font></div><div><br></div><div><font face="Trebuchet MS">Greetings Readers!</font></div><div><font face="Trebuchet MS"><br></font></div><div><font face="Trebuchet MS">This post is dedicated to the wild woman... untamed and unafraid.</font></div><div><font face="Trebuchet MS"><br></font></div><div><font face="Trebuchet MS">It is an amazing feeling to truly understand and walk in your power. To have confidence and assurance in the knowledge that you are whole and complete all by yourself, with the DNA of queens coursing through your veins... you are everything. Asserting a spirit of fierce passion and sensuality that exquisitely stirs the senses... you are sacral.</font><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"> Diving deep into a place of introspection to see your gifts as a healer, a life giver, and a living temple... you are divine. Becoming fully aware; then as the steps of your life you retrace, you find that you exist in a whole different dimension of time and space. </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">Your beauty is a treasure to behold, you are captivating, you are inspiring, you are activated... you are awakened. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">You embody an untold strength that cannot be controlled or contained. You are gentle and meek; nurturing, yet you still intimidate the weak...you are sound. </span><font face="Trebuchet MS">You confound thought and logic with a powerful presence and a fighting spirit. </font><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">You walk in complete authority... </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">you are a warrior. You are the producer of a magnificent cosmic energy... you are a magician. </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">You have dominion over kingdoms in the earth and you command attention wherever you place your feet... you are ascendant. You face both the light and shadow sides of your feminine nature with boldness, humility, and authenticity, regardless of what you may discover when the truth unfolds... you are liberated. You love and embrace your truest self, unashamed. You have purposed to help restore generations from the centuries of damage done to your ancestral line... you are the pride. As you prepare to begin the process of healing and clearing away the debris of a tragic past, to become a beacon of light for your own lineage... you are the guide. You are the descendant of a dynastic reign and you lead the charge of reclaiming the dignity of your people. You are the one chosen to continue the legacy of your bloodline... you are the prize.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">This concept entitled, <b style="font-style: italic;">“Dynasty” </b>is intended to encourage us to seek the truth of our existence, and not just accept what we are taught in schools using history books that we did not help write, that do not tell our WHOLE story. It is meant to help us recall our rich, powerful history, one that took place in our native land, to help bring to our remembrance once again who we are and who we were meant to be. We are no longer dazed and confused and the deceivers dread the day that our eyes are finally wide open... know this. We joined together again with Dynasti on this project. She has been a vital spark in the new direction we have taken with our artistic vision. DYNASTI bodied DYNASTY, YES! My hubs and I are two creative souls that dance to the rhythmic beat of our own drum, and we are rarely off step. Our prayer is that we are able to continue to pour our gifts into the world and that they make a life-changing difference. We hope you enjoy the images that follow... until next time!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><br></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZbYGZW-jmuo/YA5QK6s2YCI/AAAAAAAADvk/1C2HHmjIMIkBAyfboR1YOWb3UNO3wVldwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1394/_DSC2368-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

She brings patience, justice, peace, and harmony to our human experience. She pours out for us an endless flow of abundance and through her unconditional love for us, we have all of the natural resources we need to flourish: fresh air to restore us, rich reserves of the land to nourish us, and gushing waters to quench our thirst. She is the keeper of ancient roots buried deep within the earth and the source for all living beings. She is a creator who nurtures and cultivates mankind inside her womb and a seed bearer, who plants seeds and reaps a continual harvest. She is the foundation of nature and has bore witness to the evolution of life since the beginning of time. She is fertility personified and awakens us with a spirit of vitality in birth. She is the source of infinite energy... SHE is Mother Earth. </font></div><div style="text-align: left;"><font face="Trebuchet MS"><br></font></div><div style="text-align: left;"><font face="Trebuchet MS">She thrives in the darkness and blossoms in the light. She illuminates the path of our very existence in the daytime and in the night. She helps balance our emotions with the preservation of the environment, and for generations, she has offered us a higher consciousness and a sacred connectedness. She is our direct link to the sun, the moon and the stars. She is rhythm and motion, she is the ebb and flow of the ocean, she is the high vibrating energy of the collective, and her cup is overflowing. Evidence of her presence and majesty is all around. The earth is covered in her beauty. She is the essence of divine manifestation and absolute ecological sovereignty. She is not in search of us, she exists in bounty and is complete. It is WE who are in search of her when our energy depletes. We need her desperately. She is a powerful, nurturing, life-giving force, and she is ever so simplistic in her approach. We honor her daily through our acknowledgment, appreciation, positive intentions and purpose, and we dishonor her with evil and attempts to destroy... yet she restores. Our relationship with the Mother's land is sacred and transformational, and it is necessary to renew, realign, and sustain us. So readers, find your center, get grounded in her space and experience oneness with her. </font></div><div style="text-align: left;"><font face="Trebuchet MS"><br></font></div><div style="text-align: left;"><font face="Trebuchet MS">This concept gave us the chance to be more artistic and tap into a different realm of creativity with our work. It also gave us the opportunity to work with Dynasti, a beautifully amazing spirit. She really embodied the majestic feel of this shoot, and I think it was needed to fulfill the message we wanted to express. Please enjoy these images from the <b>Mother Earth</b> concept. More to come from us AND Miss Dynasti!</font></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrIyJ5RwsLujJy5_isSNNw1q7vDYOBHA_Wx9604PTg3Xr5JtwI1YWn2y6kCD2iqExhxbKvyXAfYyQL1bKk5jHL-hTpWu9Cd7OSRPqH_2ZEJ96rgPVYHU0BXFzF82faDRktNEsrlmzNXv0/s1958/_DSC2452-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Greetings Readers!</span><br>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We all possess a powerful energy that dwells within. A vitality that gives us drive and inspiration to pursue greater. An intensity that, quiet as kept, is like a smoldering fire just waiting to erupt into an inferno of vulnerabilities, passions, desires, possibilities and purpose. Now let’s admit it, highly creative individuals are some of the most captivating beings on the planet. They are wild and courageous. They are spontaneous, sensual and stimulating. They are evolutionary and revolutionary and they are often a rare combination of all the elements: fire, water, air, earth and ether. There is a hint of mystery that exists around these enigmas that draw curious attention. People want to know what really lies behind the gift? What makes you different? What makes you so fascinating?</span><br>

<br>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The highly creative are deep thinkers that seem to live life in a constant brainstorm. They are passionate in their approach and readily embrace next level ideas. Now although many of us have those embers burning down deep, it is the divinely creative soul who allows that slow burn to rise to the surface like molten lava and flow freely. These beings are fueled with intention and do not operate in fear or doubt. They are restless, bold risk takers who are motivated by progress and accomplishment. For them it is a moment of unleash to be fierce, unafraid and unabashedly who they damn well please; to be confident they will prevail and to walk through life with the courage to blaze one hell of a trail... and leave the ground smoking. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">When you are highly creative (and for the record, this is when you begin to tap into your feminine essence), you realize that it truly is in your DNA and what comes to you organically would take most a lifetime to create. Once that match is lit, no matter where you go, people will notice it. You will always be different and you will always standout. Like a moth to a flame, there will be something peculiarly enticing about you. You will have the natural draw of a magnetic field and it will be strong. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Now watch what I say... your aura will have your magic on FULL display. You will glow so bright, they will have to turn off all the power in the world to affect your light. This is a heavy burden to carry, but definitely worth the weight and the wait.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br>This <b><i>"Ignite"</i></b> concept was so sultry and we couldn’t have pulled it off without featuring someone who could make the energy literally jump off the page and meet you where you are. So we invited the gorgeous and super sweet, Asia, to join us and embody the heat we knew we needed to communicate with this project. Yep, she brought that FIRE! Enjoy the images that follow from our <b><i>"Ignite"</i></b> concept and remember to continue to pursue your dreams, find your purpose and let the flames of your soul burn endlessly. </span><br>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>The Scene</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This concept is based on a day in the life of three young adults who, out of boredom, decide to take the 1966 electric blue Mustang for a spin and head out for an afternoon ride on a hot summer day. Along the way, they hit a bump in the road and had to detour some of their excursion plans, but they make the most of it and eventually get back on track. Nothing too out of the ordinary... you know, just life. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>The Purpose</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Sean and I wanted to really focus on networking and connecting with other photographers starting in 2020, so in keeping with our goals for the year, we decided to invite a few other talented local photographer friends of ours to join us for our <b><i>1st Annual Photographers' Collaboration Project</i></b>. The vision for this collaborative effort began with a meeting focused on the creative direction for the shoot. When pulling together ideas for a concept, there is a great deal involved, including </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">soliciting models, determining looks, gathering props, booking the make-up artist and scheduling the shoot. We appreciate the ability to control as much as possible of the artistic expression of our concepts, which is </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">the main reason why we don't participate in meet-ups. We like to decide on who models, the hairstyle, the wardrobe, the make-up and everything in between, that helps to create value-added content not just for us as a photography and creative team, but also for everyone who works with us. It's important and it's a win-win.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The Collab project went SO WELL, that we have decided to make this an annual collaboration effort. It is a lot of work, but it is also a lot of fun. Stay tuned for more group concepts to come, but in the meantime, please enjoy some of Sean's work from that day below! (Be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom for acknowledgements.)</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Greetings Readers! </span><br>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Let me begin this post by stating, <i>"I am who I am and your approval is not needed."</i> That being said, let’s get started. </span><br>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It took me a while to reach this point in my life. Once upon a time it really mattered to me what others thought, and I am still upset with myself that I allowed ANYONE to have that much power over the things I did to make me happy. But I came to my senses and readjusted my mindset and now, who gives a damn what anybody else thinks? I could not care less and I am living in peace. What I have learned is that some of the most opinionated people are usually spiritually and emotionally broken and their lives are in secret turmoil. Therefore, I am careful who I allow to impart in my life. If you are damaged, you don't have anything to offer anyone else, so healer heal thyself. Getting yourself all the way together should be your first order of business, before you try to contribute your two cents toward the value of someone else. As for me, I am a woman of fair intelligence, so I prefer to rely on my own intuition and intellect as much as possible. I accept wisdom and influence from those who have blazed the trail before me and can show evidence of successful passage. Until then, I've got this (wink).</span><br>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Someone once told me that I was, <i>"effortlessly me."</i> I never forgot those words. As simple as the statement may sound, it triggered something deep within my soul. I had to take a few steps back and evaluate myself. I had a lot of questions. What had they seen in me that was so special that led them to say such a thing? It was a turning point for me and certainly something I needed to hear. It stirred up a lot of reflection. I’ll tell you, you just never know who is watching you do you. You never know who will be resentful and who will be inspired. You just pray for the latter, prepare for the former and continue to live life on your terms. Well after considering that comment, the conclusion I came to was that I am more than enough "as is" baby, and I rest in that confidence. Regardless of how many people work to try to tear me down, my resilience and self-respect is absolutely undeniable and I draw strength from it. I am fierceness personified! You really have to make up in your mind that NO ONE has the right to tell you about you. Refuse to hand out permission slips for people to dictate what you feel, what you believe or what you put on display. That is a whole lot of power and once you hand over control of it, you're trapped and it's hard to get back. Yes, making a positive impact on the world is an awesome endeavor, but living in your truth is loving yourself and you must love yourself first or risk loss. Self-preservation is a basic instinct and necessary for YOUR survival. Remember that.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">When I finally made the decision that I needed to F.L.Y. (<u>F</u>irst <u>L</u>ove <u>Y</u>ourself), I elevated high into the universe and my transformation began. Now I no longer give energy to the judgement of others. I consider their lives and confirm that they are in no position to weigh in and speak to my circumstances, and you should do the same. So I say to you, know without a shadow of doubt that you are awesome and gifted, and uncovering it is long overdue. Self-actualization will help you realize your fullest potential and set you in motion and project you into the next dimension. Don't let anyone deter you from your efforts or minimize your significance. Support those who support you, ignore the naysayers, press and persevere. I promise that if you continue to grow greater, you will definitely see them all later. Live your life fearlessly and unapologetically, tossing regret to the wind. This is your only chance. </span><br>

She was sexy and confident with every single shot. She definitely bodied this concept, and without apology. Please enjoy the images that follow.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Greetings Readers!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">When you are a woman of color, and more specifically, a black woman, you grow up knowing that circumstances that are not within your control may or may not work in your favor. You realize your experiences will be much more challenging and getting ahead will be more difficult. You will be expected to be more educated, more hardworking, will be paid a lot less than your counterparts, and will still be overlooked for well-deserved promotions. This is a disparaging condition of our reality. What is even more defeating is when we do FINALLY get ahead, we sometimes get amnesia and forget to reach back and grab a hand. This is probably the part I LEAST understand. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Well despite everything we have to go through as a group, we are incredibly gifted, highly ambitious, strong beyond our wildest imaginations, more cabable than we will ever receive credit for and have the most powerful entrepreneurial spirit of them all. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A black woman's ambition is energetic and unmatched. When we have to deal with the day-to-day excuses for why we can't receive more pay, but can continue to be assigned more work, more projects and more responsibility day after day, month after month, year after year </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">while continuing to watch others climb the ladder, we eventually activate our natural creative ingenuity. We first start thinking of ways to improve our skill sets so that we can be better prepared for opportunities that may come down the road. Next, we start brainstorming on our interests and ways we can use our gifts and talents to start our own businesses and begin to create our own possibilities. Our backs are rarely against the wall without options and a back-up plan. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It is at that moment we begin to cultivate the necessary habits that will bring us success on our own terms.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">As women of ambition, we are convinced there is nothing that can stop us from achieving our next level goals. We become fearless in our achievement and relentless in the pursuit of those things that set our soul on fire. Black women we are sacred warriors! We know how to turn pain into power and allow our ambition and drive to take us to places where ambivalence and doubt never will. We know how to believe in ourselves, connect with our energy source, move in silence and applaud our own efforts rather than wait on the hand claps of people who are not invested in our advancement. We're willing to get our hands dirty for the sake of succeeding and we remain passionate and committed, all while knowing others are watching, but will never admit it. Keep working your goals, Queen and putting action and implementation behind those plans. We are redefining excellence in business ownership, academia, media, politics and yes, even in a corporate culture dominated by everyone BUT us. We have a commanding presence and are an invaluable source of knowledge and expertise. Don't let anyone speak anything less over your life. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The "Ambition" Concept introduces model, Divinity, an independant and ambitious young woman who is also an unstoppable rising entrepreneur. Everything about her speaks FIERCE! Please enjoy these images from our "Ambition" Concept and may the flames of your heart's desires always be unquenchable.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Greetings Readers!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Before I sat down to pen this post, I knew I first had to prepare my mind and soul and set some necessary intentions. When I do this with consistency, I am always assured that my efforts are not in vain and that our work will be relevant and will reach the intended audience. So I carved out some time on a Sunday afternoon for some “ME” time. I needed an opportunity to relax and connect. So I ran a hot bubble bath with some salts and essential oils. I lit a blue candle that smelled amazing to help me create a relaxed, calm and peaceful atmosphere. I made myself a cup of hot green tea with a little cinnamon, ginger, turmeric and honey. I turned off the lights and turned on some sounds of nature... the sound of a stream rushing over rocks, the sound of the ocean as it caresses the shore and the sound of a steady rain falling to the earth. It was a cleansing for my soul. I sipped my tea as I drank from the cup of peace that had filled my sanctuary. I honor my bath time ritual, because it gives me what I need to recharge my spirit. When I emerged an hour later, I felt almost weightless and I knew that I was ready to write. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A few years ago, I officially crowned myself the “Selfie Queen” (wink). The count of selfies I have in my arsenal are nothing short of excessive. I take them often even if I am just storing them away for later use. Best believe I am always locked and loaded! Anyhow, I get amused when I see people on social media become irritated about selfies and complain and spew negativity at people who post them. I usually sense there is a lot in play behind their comments, so if you love to take selfies and this is also your experience, here are a couple of things I want you to keep in mind:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> 1. If they were truly happy with who they are they wouldn’t harbor those types of emotions about YOU. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> 2. Never allow a low vibrational character to influence how or when you indulge in self-love. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">When you are experiencing harmonious alignment and you move about life with powerful energetic flow and positivity, you activate your aura and it is so illuminated that you instinctively draw others to you... the sweet and the not so sweet. Although the negative attention and energy can be draining, you have to vibrate higher, because they have a purpose in your growth as well. You are changing and transitioning to a place of focus and awareness of your own unique individuality and ability to think and decide. You are now beautifully and effortlessly you and your transformation is evident. Others won’t be able to detect exactly what is different about you, but your confidence, your creativity, your compassion, your contentment, your overall evolution will be undeniable. You will forgive like it is restoration for your soul. Your authenticity will cause your skin to glow. You will drip radiance, beauty and inner-strength like honey from a hive, and with the powerful energy of the universe you will thrive. You will begin to vibrate at higher levels of gratitude, you will appreciate your solitude, you will master your thoughts and emotions, and you will embrace everything that makes you feel magical</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">. You will love on yourself without apology and you will adore all of those moments that make you smile. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

Brandi is a whole entire mood and she definitely served us good vibes with her work on this project. We are super pleased to present “Higher Vibes” the concept to all of you. Enjoy!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Writing this blog post sent me on a pretty heavy and unexpected soul searching journey. One that required me to really take a long hard look at my life, how and for whom I was living. As women, we exist in a world that is full of unjust criticisms, double standards, and stereotypes that keep us from living in our authentic truth. We limit our thoughts, our words and our ways and as a result we rob ourselves of some of life’s most memorable experiences. We do this to avoid standing in the judgement of men and other women who are equally imperfect beings, but who seem to feel it is their right to give an account on that which does not concern them. So why do we sometimes place more value on the thoughts and opinions of others rather than our own? Why would we deem someone else’s perception of us as more important? Now as a disclaimer this will not apply to every woman, so if it does not, continue to walk in your truth Queen. However, if you can relate, my prayer is that these words stir something up in your spirit and that your harvest is plentiful from the seeds that are sown.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">We are entering an era where there is a call for us to return to the divine feminine principle. The principle which encompasses our strength, our compassion, our peace and our essence. Often we hide elements of our unique feminine essence for fear of how others will see us. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Others meaning the critics. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">We never want to appear weak or vulnerable or overly alluring to those who seem to be intrigued by our every move. We don’t even stop and give a second thought to why we have so much of their undivided attention. Could it be misguided admiration, because they too long to be free of the shackles society has placed on their decisions and mindset? Well whatever the case, I just believe it is finally time to release ourselves from this prison of public opinion and indulge in the freedom to be... to be soft, to be classy, to be sensual, to be ALLURING, to be divine healing forces and above all else, to be true to ourselves as amazing beings. Our feminine energy is necessary to help restore order and balance. Women are the embodiment of sacred creative energies that transmute, transcend and transform. It is what makes us so powerful. When we decide to live in that truth, we lift the veil off of traditional beliefs and walk away from that which does not allow our divine nature to flow freely and effortlessly. It is time to be FREE!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">So the<b style="font-style: italic;"> “</b></span><i style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><b>Unveiling” </b></i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Concept led us to do only our second boudoir shoot ever. I wanted to express the idea of how critical it is to uncover and reveal the true beauty and essence of our feminine power. The power not to “DO” because we do enough. The focus was on our power to just “BE”. It’s time to live life like no one is watching and guess what? Who cares if they do? Let them watch, they may learn a thing or two. We have allowed perception to control our movements for far too long, so returning to a place where we are comfortable with who we are is such a beautifully human experience. </span></div>

She trusted my vision and that in itself speaks volumes. Enjoy images from the <b><i>“Unveiling”</i></b> Concept below. </span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I honestly believe that I have become obsessed with full moons. Each and every time I get the chance to see that amazing, hypnotic glow, I am absolutely elated. My only thought is that I just want to absorb every ounce of its power. I marvel in it! As much as I enjoy a beautiful sunrise or a breath-taking sunset, there is nothing quite as awe-inspiring for me as the peaceful and majestic moon. Such a strong energetic force, the manificent moon pulls and tugs on the ocean waves as the ebb and flow movement it creates caresses the sand on the shore. Can you imagine that kind of control?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The energy of the full moon with it's luminous light, influences every aspect of our existence and induces physiological changes within us. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">It can help enhance our creativity and provide the perfect atmosphere for setting intentions and experiencing divine manifestations. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Lunar energy also heightens our physical and emotional activities as well. It s</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">timulates feelings of sadness (be really mindful of this one because depression is real)</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">, it stirs feelings of intense love and euphoria, and it increases feelings of sensuality and passion. It is believed that the moon has mood-altering capability and I am of the mindset to believe it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">So this concept was an idea of mine long before we knew there would be a full moon in the sky on the night of the shoot. I really didn't know where we would go with the final work, I just knew I was in search of something very alluring, very sexy, very sensual, and very passionate as the end result. It just so happens, on the way to our destination that night, I looked up in the sky and saw a stunning full moon. I decided at that moment, this concept was more than just a notion. I suddenly became fully engaged with bringing every aspect of this </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">amorous session to life. Once again, we had the awesome opportunity to work with Ryan and Asia, who are always brave enough to trust my vision. I'm a little out there ya'll... it takes a special kind. Presenting our concept, <b><i>"Full Moon." </i></b>We hope you enjoy our work!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">There is something really distinct and powerful and sexy and cool about black culture. We are a diverse group of people with a broad set of characteristics, qualities and features that make us fascinating. So much so that we have garnered a lot of focused attention throughout history and have been hugely influential with other cultures and industries around the globe. The way we dress, the music we enjoy, the way we dance, the foods we eat, our unique gifts and skill sets, our physical attributes, talent and potential, and even the way we wear our hair has had a tremendous impact on other world cultures. (<strong>Side Note:</strong> We realize the mystery behind the curls, the coils, the afros, the locks, and the extensions really keep you guessing. HOWEVER, no matter what has sparked your curiosity and no matter how intrigued you are, please DO NOT touch our hair without permission! It's not cool, it's an invasion of our personal space and we DON'T like it.) Now, back to my post...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">The evolution of African culture is the aftermath of centuries of struggle wrapped in strength. It is the product of heavy influences from the traditions of our African ancestors and the atrocious treatment of our people during slavery, to the wretched injustices and inequities resulting from the racial discrimination that followed. African culture has always had a profound impact on American culture. Our ancestors were kidnapped and forced here because it was well known that this nation could not be constructed effectively without them. Their creativity was needed, their natural abilities were needed, their strength was needed, their compassion was needed. After all, they shared DNA with the very ones who built the great pyramids based on the alignment of the stars and they did it without instructions. So in the midst of the abominable treatment our ancestors endured while in captivity, they found a way to stay encouraged and have hope by developing a means to communicate that outsiders wouldn't understand. They would use their language to communicate. They would use songs to communicate. They would use gestures to communicate. They would even style their hair as a way to help them communicate. Their ways of communicating helped them to survive and our identity today was built on the backs of that survival. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">Centuries have passed and our culture has continued to develop through mysteries unknown to people who do not share in our heritage. Many others have struggled for years to comprehend our language, our ways, and our beliefs but that is only because it is not meant for everyone to understand. The weight of our impact is so significant that there is strangely enough a growing obsession with our culture in the mainstream. The interesting part about it all is that those who are obsessing over black culture work hard to try to separate it from the very people who embody and live it authentically everyday. Our vernacular, our swag, our drip... is likened to a potent elixir that just pours out freely from us and everyone wants a sip. While things that come naturally to us appear to be some "cool" new trend to others, what we do and how we do it is birthed out of expressions that help us connect and relate to one another. These nuances cannot be copied or duplicated... it’s a natural part of who we are as a people.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">Now as a highly creative TEAM, my husband and I thrive on concepts that do more than just communicate ideas visually... we want to relay a message that is relevant. Over the past few years we have committed to growing and developing our conceptual skills to a higher level and this will always be the goal. So with this AFROdisiac shoot, I wanted a vibe that would exemplify the essence and the uniqueness of our culture, and speak to what makes it </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">so special. We are all beautiful souls and we wanted to embrace every aspect of it, so we chose three beautiful Queens, Tomecka, Elida and Tiffany to represent it in a POWERFUL, regal and alluring way. Presenting our newest concept, "AFROdisiac." We hope you enjoy this post and the images that follow!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I am convinced that I was a mermaid in my past life. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Anytime I can develop a concept that places us out in the middle of nature and especially near water, I am absolutely elated! There is just something about being in a natural environment that soothes my soul. Maybe it’s the fresh air I enjoy so much. Or maybe it’s the wildlife (not too wild though... I don’t like everything that creeps and crawls), or maybe it’s the sight, sounds and constant movement of the water over rocks and land and through valleys as it makes way to a new destination. Whatever the reason, I love it. It’s my happy place! Nature inspires me so I love to be out in it. It’s my favorite time to recharge my creativity and my energy. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">While we are on this subject, I have been doing a lot of research and self-reflection lately and as a feminine energy dominant myself, I wanted to take a dive into a deeper level of understanding of the masculine and feminine energy perspective. I am sure I will address that at a later time, but for now, our topic is solely feminine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Feminine energy is much like water... it is a powerful, flowing and energetic life force. Nothing can exist without it in the natural realm. It nurtures and sustains life and can impact every place it moves through. Feminine energy is soft, kind and compassionate, but never combative. It is intuitive and imaginative and it is sensual and passionate. It is a source of balance, of creativity, of deeper feelings and emotions. It is capable of renewing and restoring which are key aspects of the feminine principle. When you are feminine energy dominant, you tend to illuminate any space you fill, even when trying to be elusive and mysterious and go unnoticed. It is the manifestation of patience, love, light, and intellect that produces storm calming peace. It is very necessary, because in a world full of highly competitive masculine energy, the world would self-destruct without it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This bohemian-styled concept simply titled, “Energy” features the lovely, Kristin in one of my FAVORITE places. Our presence with all of the sights and sounds of the natural elements made for an amazing backdrop! Please enjoy images from our “Energy” concept. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">Let me start this post by saying that <strong>MUSIC IS</strong> <strong>POWERFUL!</strong> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">Music is emotional medicine. It is a gift from our Divine Creator to help us uplift, heal and restore ourselves. Music stirs the soul. It sets the mood and changes it based on the lyrics, the harmony, and the tempo. Music enhances creativity... it definitely does mine and I LIVE for it! Personally speaking, music moves me in a way I cannot explain. As a matter of fact, <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">I've been bouncing and shaking to </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">it since my crib days. If I hear something I like even now, my immediate reaction is to start grooving regardless of who is around. I am not ashamed! I enjoy listening to a variety of genres, but not a day goes by that I don't play a song or two or twenty. It's all in my DNA, you know beats, vibes and such, so it's part of my regular routine. My mental thrives on that daily dose of dopamine. </span></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">Music dives deep within and reaches the depths of which nothing else even comes close. It is an encounter that has the ability to evoke a full range of emotion, from love and happiness to joy and pain, and I am pretty sure a song exists to help us get through WHATEVER we go through<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">. </span>Music just<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"> feels good, it's soothing and euphoric. It</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"> is the soundtrack for our lives! </span>Music is so bold and volumes it speaks. It’s light, it’s heavy, it’s <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">shallow, </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">it’s deep. I mean think about it, even our hearts are on beat and ain’t that a rhythmic treat? <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">Music is a truly revolutionary experience. </span></span></span></div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">So this concept, centered around my joy of music, was truly a no brainer for me. I felt I just had to create something dedicated to one of my favorite pastimes which is listening. Cayla, our model for this concept, brought youthful energy and good vibes times one thousand. She seemed to know exactly what I was looking for with every single frame. She also shared with me that she loves music from the 90's era... Dig that! Now we present to you, <strong><em>"Sound Waves".</em></strong> Enjoy!</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">This blog post is all about <strong>The Art of Sophistication</strong> or should I say, the LOST art. Over the past almost 20 years, social media and the growing desire to outshine and impress followers has, led to the diminishing of class and maturity. In the grand scheme of things, self-respect seems to have lost it's value, modesty is out of trend and many that fall into the now 40-plus year old crowd is in constant competition for likes and attention with the 20-year olds. You can't tell the difference between the two age groups anymore. I can recall a time when 40-year olds thought it was important to teach life lessons to 20-year olds. They were a resource for sound advice, because they had "been there and done that". Now instead, the elder is taking tips from their younger counterparts and making every effort to do what they see the youngsters do. What happened to transcending the behaviors and actions of youth and becoming solid examples of real goals? Anyhow, I digress.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">So what does it really mean to be "sophisticated"? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">Sophistication embodies an uncompromising level of elegance, grace and style, drizzled in endless cool confidence. Sophistication encompasses a relaxed state of mind. It is refinement. It is fulfillment. It is simplicity. It is intuition and perception. It is compassion. It is polite and charming. It is effortless, it is an entire mood. Sophistication at it's core is just a beautifully human experience. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">Sophistication is mastered when you become keenly aware of your speech and conversation, your presentation, your perception and your interests. The sophisticated find it necessary to be elusive, always minding their business and their manners. They naturally shift the vibe of every room they walk into... they are intelligent, intimidating and inspiring. They come of age on schedule and they are accepting of a more tastefully sexy approach to life. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"></span></span><br />

I can do it all, fried chicken, pot roast and gravy, mashed potatoes, greens, meatloaf, mac and cheese, cornbread, baked salmon, you name it I can cook it. I am from the old school and I have always believed (and still do actually), that my family needed a well-balanced home cooked meal. It is what my mom provided for our family and it is all I know. I like to consider myself fairly domesticated in the fact that I am mostly a homebody and am always cooking, cleaning, washing, folding and straightening SOMETHING. I am also a career woman, a business owner and a creative. I wear many hats, and much like the lyrics to the legendary songstress Chaka Khan's song, <em>"I’m Every Woman”,</em> I feel like I encompass every bit of that notion. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Sometimes when you refer to yourself as a "homebody," what comes to mind for many is the word BORING. However, to the contrary, that is not necessarily the case. You can be both a homemaker and a working woman and still be alluring. Yes, it is hard to juggle both ESPECIALLY when you are also a mom (I know all about it); but when you can manage it all and still keep it sexy, then honey you are not only powerful, you are magical! This particular concept was developed to show the world that we can be all of these things!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Introducing Vivian, owner of Viv's Jazzy Cakes in Murfreesboro, TN. Vivian and I had a conversation earlier in the year, and immediately afterward, the vision for this concept began to come to life almost out of nowhere! I knew she would be perfect for the feature and I was right! One day I will write about the source of my creative inspiration, but in the meantime, enjoy these images from our concept shoot entitled, <b><i>"Domesticated"</i></b>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Greetings Readers!<br /><br /><br />On January 1, 2019, I decided to stop watching television. Not only do I not miss it, but I don’t even have the desire to turn it on and haven’t since the close of 2018. It no longer served a purpose in my life and to be quite honest, it was stifling my creativity. The television prevented me from being my productive self and was offering me nothing more than uninspiring amusement. I just realized that I no longer wanted to be entertained. I prefer to be informed and uplifted in my day to day hustle, so I traded in the television for more reading, more writing, more thinking, more music, and more walks outside to experience and explore the joy of the outdoors. I really felt the need to connect with myself on a deeper level, because something was missing, and it needed to be restored. I needed to tap into a level of creativity that was going to require me to pull away from everything that was becoming an unnecessary distraction, so that I could get back to being focused. I love being outside in the wide-open space. The fresh air does some amazing things to the senses. It is much needed. <br /><br />This concept, "Sanctuary", was born out of my need to find places to get away and refresh my creative vibe. Taking quiet time is necessary for my mental, physical and spiritual well-being. If you know me, you know I am ALWAYS on the move. Staying on the go can cause stress, burnout and breakdowns if we are not careful, especially for busy moms. I acknowledge that it is ok to disappear to my sanctuary for a time to regain my composure, restore what I have lost and replenish what I have freely given, without the need to explain why I have been unavailable. This is something I am becoming very intentional about. You see peace is personal and should not be left in the hands of anyone else who may never understand what it is that YOU need. <br /><br /> So recently we had the opportunity to shoot my gorgeous goddaughter, Jasmine. I was so elated to work with her as we have been trying to get together for a long time. She is featured here in our post where she completely and confidently embodies the three focus elements of the concept which were: beauty, peace and gracefulness. We hope you enjoy these images from our "Sanctuary" shoot!</span><br />
