Live for Today




Wow, I woke up on the seriously happy side of the bed today!!  Over the years I've learned the best thing to do is to live for today! We get so caught up in what we don't have and what we wished we had we completely over look everything we've been blessed with.

 I have so many dreams and ambitions I tend to get distracted on the future and where I want to be. It grounds me to sit down and write out all of my blessings... or simply walk through my shop and truly soak in how far I've come. What once was a dream ... a dream I'm sure all my friends were sick of hearing about lol .... has turned into reality. Although, I have a lot of goals and expectations for my shop I HAVE A SHOP and that can be easily forgotten when I compare myself to other boutiques and retail stores. I will grow with time but right now I'm enjoying what God has so graciously allowed me to have. 

I want you to know you may not see it or think it now.. but your blessed. God has a purpose and a plan specifically for you. Be patient... allow him to lead you in the direction he has mapped out for you. Its so much easier to let him guide you than for you to try to find yourself by yourself! Trust me I took way too many wrong turns before getting back on track. 



I challenge you to write out your blessings... Remember there is always someone worse off than you. Start looking at the positive things in this life and you'll be pleasantly surprised at how "wealthy" you really are. 
( I'm not referring to materialistic things)

Inspiration Boards


Get inspired... You only live once so why not live out your dreams and goals now?!?!

For all you out there seeking clarity I recommend you start a daily journal or make an inspiration board! My mind is always going in 20 directions... I can never focus on one thing cause I'm thinking about the next ten things! I've recently started journaling and writing down exactly what I want.  

Pin pointing specifically what you want helps you focus and get to work! Finding clarity is hard, at least it was for me. I started with what I wanted my end result to be and worked myself down. 

For example, I have been drooling over the Cannon 5d iii for some time now, so I made that my photography goal....  I took the cost of the camera and divided it but he cost of my photography sessions and that gave me the number of sessions I will have to book in order to purchase this sweet machine. I also put a time limit on it so now I know how many sessions I need to book per week in order to get my new camera by October 5!! 

I hung a picture of the camera on my inspiration board with my goals written out... so everyday when I walk into the shop I can get motivated and work to book these sessions!!!

I'm a very visual person.... Like I said I'm always thinking 20 steps ahead, so my inspirational board allows me to focus on a specific goal and it gives me the motivation to keeping working towards that one goal versus working toward something else of less importance.


Look at these cute boards... Get inspired!!
