Trees need to grow deeper roots if they are to reach greater heights

We all get to the point in any endeavour, if we are truly committed for the long term, where our sense of purpose, intention and why is forgotten or breaks down. I reflect on some of the major decisions I’ve made over the past few years, many of which have been complete lifestyle and careerContinue reading “Trees need to grow deeper roots if they are to reach greater heights”

I am showing up for practice

As I’ve embarked on this journey of sharing my perspective, whether that be on video or in my words, sometimes the message comes in crystal clear and, as the heavens part and the sun breaks through the clouds, the words just flow from my tongue and fingers like a beautiful symphony. Other times? well… IContinue reading “I am showing up for practice”

My circle may have gotten smaller, but the love has only gotten bigger

More than ever it seems I have been wanting to hold those dear to me very close. I can sense something has shifted within me about the value I place on relationships, and how much importance I believe it plays in one’s overall well-being. Perhaps it is finding peace in solitude which means anyone IContinue reading “My circle may have gotten smaller, but the love has only gotten bigger”

It ain’t over till it’s over baby!

One principle my mentors have taught me along my journey has been being able to draw a line in the sand, step over it and just keep moving forward. I was reminded of this as I stumbled upon a document, I made at the end of 2020, detailing my goals for 2021. “Oh boy, hereContinue reading “It ain’t over till it’s over baby!”

Hey excuses, you’re not invited where I’m going!

I cannot desire growth and keep my excuses too. One thing the growth mindset exposed to me about myself was how often I used my lack of ability as an excuse. As soon as I started on the path of growth, the question that kept on persisting was this: How do you know you aren’tContinue reading “Hey excuses, you’re not invited where I’m going!”

My greatest power lies in the softest parts of my heart

When I see myself today some words that come to mind are: tender, soft, delicate, gentle, feminine. Those are not words I would have wanted to be associated with me at earlier points of my life because I thought it made me weak. I thought that all of the above traits created an open doorContinue reading “My greatest power lies in the softest parts of my heart”

Just keep on stepping, and you’ll make it through

Here’s a truth I re-learned today: The way out is always through.Through the discomfort, confusion, doubt, fear, pain, and uncertainty.Not sitting in it, not wallowing, not setting up camp in the valley.But taking just one more step, one more time.And before you know it you realize, from the other side,the squeeze was not death butContinue reading “Just keep on stepping, and you’ll make it through”

It’s all perspective baby

Why do I love taking photos, especially self-photography? Because I understand, it’s all perspective baby. In photography where I can be both the muse in front of the camera and the director behind the lens, I give myself an opportunity to shift my perspective of myself. When all of us have a tendency to viewContinue reading “It’s all perspective baby”

When life challenges you, learn to say thank you

It sounds almost masochistic but if we are willing to give thanks for our difficulties then it is perhaps one of the greatest things we can do to propel our growth to new heights. All it takes is us looking our challenges in the eye and asking, “What have you come to teach me?”. ThisContinue reading “When life challenges you, learn to say thank you”
