I vowed to myself that I would read more this year since I haven’t read a book in a little over a year… The last book I completed (The Alchemist) was during my pregnancy. š³ As u can see, I fell off tremendously…. So here’s to my new read….”The Power of Now”
Slow Motion Study of the Day
FilmmakerĀ Jacob SchwarzĀ captures the graceful movements of color ink drops in 4K, which is four times greater than regular 1080p HD.
Stuff like this is awesome to me
*Throwback Thursday
Back in 2011 when I was pregnant with my lady bug. I was about 6 months.

True Life…….. I am a Photo junkie
Last week, I began the daunting process of cleaning out my hard-drive. I set on this venture in efforts to not only regain mental organization, but, to score a few more gems for my portfolio and upcoming website.
*insert dramatics*
When I say, that I take a lot of pictures…… I mean that I takeĀ A LOTĀ of pictures.
Just in dating back to 2007, I have found myself to have over 35,000 photos. Now to some of you professionals, this number may seemĀ minuscule.Ā But to an amateur like myself, I found that number to be quite unbelievable. Like who, what, when, where and how would one have that many pictures!?!?!
Finding the time to go through these photos has been a journey in itself. Between my duties as a mom and my responsibilities as a contributing member of society, my time to work was practically limited to the wee hours of the night and early mornings.
That…. was. not. fun.
NOTĀ FUNĀ AT ALL.
In fact, my eyes and spinal cord are still expressing their hatred to me as I type this here post. A visit to a chiropractor is definitely in order.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā 
So far, I have been able to categorize all 35k images into smaller groups and wipe out the disposables; now Iām down to about 20,000…….. Progress right? Ehā¦Ā
Anywho, during my deep sea cyber dive, I rediscovered what I loved most about taking photos. And to quite simply put it, itās lies in the ability to capture moments (and in Ā moments I mean, the history, the emotions, the phases, the people,Ā the adventures, the random “wtf”s and just life). As the philosophers and geniuses of the world would sayā¦ itās āthe ability to freeze timeā (…they donāt).
Though at times, my eyes almost felt as if they would cry tears of fire, then gouge themselves out of my skull; IĀ couldn’tĀ help but smile and laugh, as I click from one photo to the next. I can truly say that I am happy that I finally took on completing this task.Ā
Now, it’s time for me to go through another process of elimination, in finding the gems worth keeping for my portfolio.Ā

Pray for me.Ā
