“Don’t assume, ask. Be kind. Tell the truth. Don’t say anything you can’t stand behind fully. Have integrity. Tell people how you feel.”

“It’s not my responsibility to be beautiful. I’m not alive for that purpose. My existence is not about how desirable you find me.”

I met Barak Obama! . Okay so maybe I didn’t. But @niceemartin did and I met and hugged her so that counts right? 😅 . Perhaps not but what an honour it was for me to have someone so skilled that they’ve photographed the former president of the United States also capture me in my element. . I am forever grateful of the places and people this new journey has exposed me to. Please go and check out @niceemartin work and if you’re ever in need of a super skilled photographer in Chicago (she travels too!) then she’s your woman! . When you need a beautiful floral arrangement or stunning bouquet then I’m here to help. In the mean time, head over to @byavecreations for a Tuesday Tip . . #byavecreations #floralstylist #roses #luxuryflowers #purposeandpassion #thekeshexperience

“Flowers don’t worry about how they’re going to bloom. They just open up and turn toward the light and that makes them beautiful.” – Jim Carrey . I have a lot going on at the moment in the sense that I’m working on multiple things simultaneously. . Sometimes the sheer magnitude of my dreams overwhelms me but I’ve chosen to feel the fear and do what I need to anyway, in order to be where I want to be. Even on the darkest of days, I just keep turning towards the light.

“Well behaved women seldom make history.” - Unknown . I was called “eccentric” recently, by a nice woman I’ve never met (just spoken to once on the phone). . The assertion was based solely on my online persona. Admittedly, this confused me. . I don’t think I am eccentric? (Swipe to see the dictionary definition). I didn’t take offence though. If anything I smiled and found it intriguing. . Once upon a time such a conversation might have bothered me - someone not seeing me the way I think they should or want to be perceived. . And then I heard my parents voices in my head saying (as they have numerous times over the years) “others peoples opinions of you are none of your business.” . So I’ll just keep dancing to my own tune and trying to have as much fun as possible. . What, in life, makes you dance? . . 📷 @hmuseh
