““Don’t adjust your self-expression to find an audience
You will regret it
It’s only fun if you are accepted as you are
And you will, one day” ”
Flow Like Nature
My grandmother used to say, "Let me go out to water my plants before I do something that I may regret." She continued on by allowing her body to move through her ability from within. This is something that I still keep in the back of my mind. If we feed our anxiety rather than observe our thoughts how can we ever live in peace with each other by expressing what we need to say?
Take gentle care of your mind. Practice mindful activities and be progressive with your healing. Believe that you can change your trajectory by letting your light from within guide your mind. With time you will become a manifestation of love and kindness living your best life.
Much Love,
Pri
“Going with the flow is responding to cues from the universe. When you go with the flow, you’re surfing Life force. It’s about wakeful trust and total collaboration with what’s showing up for you.”
I See You
“I see you, beneath the surface. I see your untamable wild. I see your billowing heart. I see your unshed tears and your not yet dreams and your devotion to spirit. I see you howl at the moon and call the ocean home and ground to earth and grow taller than the trees.
I see you.
You are not alone. You are not invisible.
You are seen. You are seen. You are seen.
And my god, you are beautiful.”
― Jeanette LeBlanc
Your Words Have Power
"Your words have so much power. Every day, if you tell yourself 'I love you,' if you give yourself one word of validation, it will change your mind."
— Ashley Graham
Embrace Your Totality
“I am a woman and a warrior. If you think I can't be both, you've been lied to.”

So, What Do You Want To Be Today?

Mother in Nature
I love Daniela’s energy so it was most def a given that I was excited to work with her when the opportunity came into play. It’s so much fun to work with a passionate and zesty person who trusts your creative process.
We took these gorgeous semi-nudes at Rock Creek, Maryland side, and walked around the premises early morning looking for a good spot. After a few minutes we found a couple areas for us to shoot away from the walkers, joggers and runners.
A sense of spontaneity is what I love to play with in these particular sessions. When our hearts are open we lighten up and are creativity gets boosted and so does our confidence. This is when we are closely aligned with our spirit.
The Heart
"There is no greater heaven than the heart of a loving mother
She takes care of you when you are still in her womb.
She nurtures you after you are born.
She hurts when you fall,
She celebrates when you make your first steps.
She is the only person who genuinely cares about you.
She loves you as she loves herself.
Her heart is your true paradise.
I love you mama."
— Bangambiki Habyarimana (The Great Pearl of Wisdom)
Live Fully

Invest on You
When you invest in yourself, you have instant credibility with your biggest critic...you! As soon as you let doubt creep in---you lose that investment. Make a daily commitment to assess your worth with positive affirmations and watch your investment grow."

Go Do You Little By Little
What Have you been up to ? Creating anything?
I've been moving and shifting into being more mindful in my creativity mostly due to this new normal life we are embarking on. Some readings by Julia Cameron has really helped. I officially changed my morning rituals and this has improved my daily journey. I feel compelled to share them with you below to help you navigate your daily life more fearlessly and free.
1. 20 minute walks every now and then (a moving meditation).
2.Write your Morning Pages (journal).
3. Take Yourself on an Artist Date (adventure out for 1hr on your own )
Also, Here's a Mantra to your meditation today:
I am the embodiment of God.I accept myself.
My life and purpose is becoming clearer.
I trust myself.
My life is thriving.
I love myself.
My life is abundant and beautiful.
May All beings be safe, find peace and happiness.
And so it is! ✨

Like You!
Love You More
"Your body is yours. My body is mine. No one's body is up for comment. No matter how small, how large, how curvy, how flat. If you love you, then I love you."
— Shonda Rhimes
Celebrating Life with Dora
This is my second session with Ms. Dora Daniel. She’s reached a milestone and she desired to invest on photographs again. For me, celebrations are always an honor to be a part of. Especially with someone so kind, generous and full of life. Always grateful for the opportunity to provide ecstatic experience to my beloved muses.
Have the Audacity
"It's not enough to be nice in life. You've got to have nerve."
— Georgia O'Keeffe
You Are Whole
“Cherish your solitude. Take trains by yourself to places you have never been. Sleep out alone under the stars. Learn how to drive a stick shift. Go so far away that you stop being afraid of not coming back. Say no when you don’t want to do something. Say yes if your instincts are strong, even if everyone around you disagrees. Decide whether you want to be liked or admired. Decide if fitting in is more important than finding out what you’re doing here.”

You Got It
"Remember, all the answers you need are inside of you; you only have to become quiet enough to hear them."

It's Your Life
"There is an expiry date on blaming your parents for steering you in the wrong direction; the moment you are old enough to take the wheel, responsibility lies with you."
