Reach for the sky!

This weekend, tomorrow to be exact, I will be sky diving with a couple of girlfriends in celebration of my 25th birthday! I've received an array of reactions when I mentioned to family and friends my plans to sky dive. I dedcided to do this because I'm facing my fears. I will not get anywhere in life if I live dodging or hiding. Its all about facing the things that scare us because we fear we may not like the result. When in fact taking that risk gets us places we never imagined!
With that said, I'm not going out in a loom and state everyone who is afraid of heights should sky dive, because it may just not be for everyone. But I am saying that taking risks when it comes to love, something your passionate about, career, school, ect... does pay off! Taking that next step career-wise because you found it in you to introduce yourself to a potential client . . . Even deciding to be a "stay-at-home mom" and down-sizing to raise your kids for example.
You are the only person that will keep you from getting where you need to be in Life. I truely believe that.
Wishing you & yours a wonderful Easter weekend! xoxo

Is it "luck" ?

Today is going to be a good day, I just know it. Heck its going to be a good week! And its not just because I'll be turning a year older later this week, but because I've come to appreciate what I'm given. Am I a saint? No, by far, but I've been brought up to be a grateful. Life is all about what we make of it. Do I believe in luck? No, but I do believe in blessings from above. And today, just because, I wanted to dedicate this blog to the little & not so little things that make life soo much better. 
  • My husband who knows me best & still puts up with me!
  • Family <3
  • Friends, especially those friends I consider family; I wouldnt be where I am today without your support, THANK YOU!
  • Opportunities that I'm given & may not deserve
  • Sunrises & sunsets
  • My kids, Troy & Lola. They are always soo eager to see me walk thru the door :)
  • Monday mornings earthquake; because they remind us life is too short to live with regrets
  • Comfortable shoes... Ohhh how I love thee & my feet thank you! Why cant all cute shoes be as comfortable as flip flops?!
  • Sound of waves crashing against the rocks
  • L-O-V-E, unconditional love that is which God demonstrates to me every single day
  • The smell of a garden filled with roses in the spring
  • Daylight savings time ;] makes my days longer & more productive! For reals
  • The way music can comfort the soul
This list of course, can be neverending if one sits down to think about it. But for the sake of the blog, I said I was only going to come up with five random reasons why I'm thankful and quickly turned into fourteen that are in no particular order.
What are you thankful for?
I leave you with the picture below that I shot the other day while at the park with the kids . . . xoxo


Happy Wednesday!!!

Anytime: Ms. Laurai (Part 2)

Beautiful, energetic & smart are three words that describe Laurai. Her mother & aunt had scheduled a session and let me tell you, the rain didn't stop us! Laurai was determined to have her photo shoot :) She was a really good sport despite the rain... and I'm sure as you can see in the pictures, she's a natural!


My favorite :]
