8 months down and still, I manage to look like a tourist every time Im outside. Haha! Technically still summer, but my FIRST Fall/Autumn is here!!!! 🍂🍂🍂 Can’t blame me, I used to only see this on tv and journal about it 😋 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And speaking of eight months, I was given the opportunity to be featured on @yegbossbabes blog for Mad Love Monday! Shared some mushy stories as well as vulnerable ones. 👀 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “8 months ago, I moved to Edmonton. That’s usually how my story starts when other people ask me. And I still love how they say, “no way!! EIGHT MONTHS!” Followed by the question “So how are you liking it?” I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of blabbing about how much I love this city, the opportunities and new perspective it has been giving me.” 💛 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The other day I was at church just ugly crying again because never in a million years could I have imagined for life to turn out this way.. and you guys know how big my visions are already! Ephesians 3:20 forever and ever amen 🤓 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Check out my stories or the 2nd link in my bio to read.. ✨ || thanks for squatting in a dress to take this photo of me @glennymah 📸
Yay Monday! I’m trying to finish as much work as possible before my trip next week.. aahhh, i’m going to see my favorite boyfriend @tonyrobbins! 🛫 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And you know what’s cray?? The picture they used for the event promo poster is the same picture of Tony on my vision board... getting chills everytime I think about it tbh 😭 #meandmywoowoo ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I get to invest in my personal development, travel solo, check out cute coffee shops in new places, meet people I admire, see family.. did I ever get so much value from something?! Happy bday Nikki ✨✨✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The goal is to NOT bring my laptop— to explore and just be present! If it means having to stick my face to my computer screen all of this week, let’s goooo! 💛 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How about you? What are you looking forward to?👇🏼
I found myself in Anastasia’s story. She moved to Edmonton four years ago, left everything she knew back home, including a baby business she has just co-founded. Upon getting here, she went through a challenge as her life takes on a pause. She didnt have many friends, she couldnt work nor even drive here. 🛫 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now, she has founded Inspire YEG and puts together creative masterclasses, surrounding herself with what makes her happiest— a community she didnt think she’d find in Edmonton 🎨 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Her story teaches me that if we only SEEK and dig deeper, we will always find what we are looking for. And even if we don’t, we can always ALWAYS CREATE it. 🙌🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ She just makes wanna say “Attagirl!!” every 5 seconds, you know?! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 More of her story on the blog!! Third link on my bio babes ✨
I hope you find a love that makes you want to conquer fear. A love that reduces fear into nothing but another adventure to take. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I hope you find a love that knows how to be quiet. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A love that makes you laugh your horrible laugh. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I hope you find a love that brings you comfort and at the same time, makes you brave pushing you even further. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I hope you find a love that believes in you senselessly. A love that trusts and respects and understands and forgives over and over and over again. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I hope you find a love that allows you to grow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And i hope you find it WITHIN YOU ☺️✨ #selfloveclub
Sometimes, when the day is said and done, Id watch my instagram stories over and over and wonder, “How is this my life?” 💛 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Last Sunday, @YEGBOSSBABES held the second part of the Blogger Babes Workshop Series! So proud of my girl @glennymah for teaching over 30 people!! She rocked the keynote, provided helpful handouts and slain the open table q&a/brand audit! They KNOW how to hold a workshop. Aahhh get it, girls 👏🏼👏🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Also, I had one of the most challenging experiences of my photography career thus far haha! I took photos of 9 ladies, from different industries with different styles and overall branding. Thanks to @rsvpdesigninc’s incredible place whose every corner was unique!! The mini shoot marathon was a breeze (in heels wink wink!) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Congrats to my #yegbossbabes who have INVESTED in their business and themselves by growing and learning!! Idk. Im just grateful. That’s all. I always say it but i really am. 😩 More photos (and MUSHY words ahahhaa) on my blog! Link in bio babes ✨
He told me “if I was the client, I wouldnt give my money to some childish girl on social media.” 😨 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Im not going to deny how discouraged I was hearing that. Was it wrong sharing my life on instagram? Was it wrong being myself? 🤐 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But then I realised, that was the point. I’m so glad he WASNT my client. 👋 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m so glad my clients want to work with me not DESPITE of my silly quirks, but BECAUSE of them. I love that I get to go on “coffee dates” instead of “consultations.” I love that I get massive hugs instead of handshakes. I love how we can be goofy around each other that theyre so comfortable in front of my camera and in turn, I get to capture photos that reflect who they truly are. 💛 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You can go on for days telling me how I should run my business or how I should present myself online. I always strive to be better and at the end of the day, this is how I choose to do it— authentically, lipstick on teeth and bursts of laughter included. I seek genuine connection with people, and so I’ll continue to show up as a person, as myself 👏🏼 - Have you been told something that discouraged you? How did you handle it? What did you learn from it?
Hi i still havent recovered from the major baby fever 😍 #gabrieljax - How do actual moms even handle so much love? Like, where do you put it???? I feel like exploding??? - Thank you for the photos and for the beautiful baby boy @bananamoda 💛 #gabrieljaxfans #gabe2020
Sharing a journal entry excerpt from this day a month ago.. 💛 - “And now, I’m sitting at a coffeeshop writing after this morning’s meeting with a woman I met the other day. I can’t contain my gratitude because I was afraid that everything will stop the moment I do. I held the belief that sleeping 4 hours every night was the way to go. But the moment I said “enough, I’ll fill myself up first before I pour into others. I’ll tend to myself first so I could serve wholly,” The universe still didnt fail to show up, to meet me halfway. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The emails still kept coming, i finished projects with grace, and the best thing is that the right people found me. The world didnt shut its door on my face, after all. 🕊 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I realised just how much what I want wants me too and that what’s meant for me will never pass me. It doesnt have to be hard. When you’re in alignment, everything flows to you smoothly. Instead of “achieve” or “earn”, it becomes “allow.”” 🌿 - I hope this inspires the ones suffering from burnout and creative blocks out there. This one’s for you 💛 #fromnicolesjournal
