My Job Was My Purpose

Call me a workaholic but I'm really missing my job this weekend! After 5 years in the wedding industry I've grown to love perfecting all of the little details on a wedding day. It has become so fulfilling to host a flawless wedding for my brides. It's more than just a work day, for them it's a day they will cherish, a day that creates memories that will be displayed on the wall for years. I am soooo blessed to witness the magic that happens during a celebration of love.  I miss the preplanning when I get to create excitement for the bride when envisioning her big day. I miss meeting the family and interacting with the bridal party and flower girls during rehearsal. I miss working closely with my team as we set up while laughing and listening to music. I miss that intimate moment where the bride & groom have their first look!! (My favorite!!) I oddly miss that pain in my fingers after pinning 15 boutonnieres before the ceremony. I miss the nervousness that everyone f

Guitarist at Heart

My Heart Knew I Was a Guitarist I've always felt a connection to guitar music. Acoustic has a way of making me melt! There's something about an acoustic song that creates a moment where I pay close attention, my ears perk up, I tune into the elegant string vibrations as if it speaks to something inside of my soul. A softness comes over my heart when listening to the sweet harmonies. My body starts to sway to the rhythm and in that instant I feel aligned. I'm still so impressed with the immediate impact that a lovely strum of a guitar has on my energy. It's a beautiful thing when I connect to it.  Blues music touches my soul in a different way. It's a soulful jazzy umph that contains a gravitational grit. It's a tantalizing sound that brings a sassy rhythm to my shoulders, and makes me want to get up and dance with my eyes closed. It almost puts me into a trance and brings me back to my New Orleans city high. It's no wonder why BB King was my very first conce

BOLD, Be~YOU~tiful, and Perfect

I had the honor of being chosen as one of the women included in the Bold, Beautiful, Perfect blog series. This shoot represents a time in my life where I owned my self-worth and started to become my true authentic self without excuses. A bit of what I shared in the blog... "I used to struggle to see my beauty from comparing to others and not feeling like I was enough. I've had issues with self-worth and seeking validation from external sources instead of going within to see my inner beauty. I've allowed others to make me feel small and use to let fear control me instead of standing tall & strong.  Now I hold my head up proudly and feel comfortable in my skin. I am unapologetic about my confidence and stand firm in who I am. I challenge myself to share my personality through social posts and am growing into the person I've always wanted to be. Now, I’m my own best friend, cheerleader, motivational coach, and spiritual guide. I walk this journey with more certainty

Grounding to Mother Earth

At times I have the urge to walk in the forest...  A walk along with the majestic Mother... There's something quite magical about that feeling when walking through the grass barefoot that helps me feel in tune with the elements and more aligned with who I am. It's the goddess or nature lover   in me that wants to become one with the forest. They call it grounding or earthing. It’s nature therapy at its best. Choosing activities that can electrically ground and reconnect you to Mother Earth.  ...The dewy grass between my toes My soul replenished through the grounding effect  Ground yourself TO yourself through Earth.  She is beautiful like you! Grounding can be relieving & replenishing for many spiritual beings with anxiety or strong empathy because it helps to reset the feelings that may have been influenced by outer forces and circumstances. Some say it helps also to create protection around your heart center. A grounding practice such as sitting under a tree at sunrise ca

Beauty through Self Love

Live life through beauty, self-worth, and love!!! I share self-love inspiration through a public Facebook group called Self Love Life!!  www.facebook.com/groups/selflovelife/ Through this extra time that Covid has blessed me with, I have become the person I always hoped to be. I have found my self-worth through loving myself unconditionally. Also through challenging myself to face the fears of judgment by posting publicly singing, playing music, and even posting these blogs. I have learned to play the guitar which has always been on my list and it's brought me closer to my musical soul. I started my own Freelance Marketing company with pride. I have traveled through 12 states and truly invested in experience with family & friends. I have walked a more spiritual path for 3 years now and feel closer than ever to the Universe and to God. I feel aligned and content with where I currently am in my journey. Amongst all of the unknowns in the world right now, I am grounded in th
