There’s a saying called, “stop and smell the flowers”.
.
well that’s what really happened to me last week (with a few ig stories along the way). I kind of left my feed out of my life for minute, and let me explain…I had an anxiety attack. A full on mental break with the crying and the wheezing and all the crazy things that happen to people that CRUSH 10 goals in one hour (I know, I work myself to death)
.
Sometimes I get ahead of myself and I forget to stop hustling. Like when someone runs a 5k and totally forgets to stop and breathe a few times.. you pass out right?
.
Well that’s what I’ve been doing for such a long time that I just don’t know how to rest. Which is another reason why I need a podcast to allow myself to practice what I’m gonna preach!
.
My princess is growing up right before me and I have to one day un-paint the photo she has of me. And that’s in front of a computer or a phone. .
24/7 people.
.
It’s embarrassingly true and if you notice I am gone for a few days (or even if you don’t notice) just know I am trying to love my best life sometimes and embrace my beautiful family & friends around me.
.
Make moments, people. Stop and smell the flowers along the way, Time is of the essence. Your insta feed WILL be ok for a day. Lol

Hey guys, it's been a minute. I think I should introduce myself to my new friends here on the 'gram sooo leggo! Also, I am aware I post this photo once, every few mos, it’s a good one thanks @northernnativephotography
.
I am a plant mom of so many and it IS addicting, I have several pothos plants, aloe vera and snake plants, and two fiddle leaf figs (that are barely hanging on lol).
.
I am a wife and a mom to my daughter Ella who always brings such lighthearted comedy in our lives
.
In my stories you will find a little bit of everything most of it is daily life a messy mom business tips here and there
.
No, I am not Filipino, I am Korean, Black, and Native American...even Filipinos ask and lol nope.. .
I used to be a bookworm all throughout school. I miss having so much time to read books lol.
When I was a teenager, I wanted to be a professional singer or actress lol (such a type 3)
.
In general, I LOVE all types of food but, I can never pass up good sushi, fancy tacos, or well-made pizza.
.
My biggest piece of advice for anyone is just taking the first step, you never want to wonder what if and you never know what is on the other side. --

While they were signing the marriage license I remember seeing Kevin scoot his hand near hers. And I just about died. 💕
.
I document so many moments like this and they somehow get lost in the mix. 2019, I'm gonna do better. Thank you for your patience, lol. 😅
.
On another note, does anyone have any photography or business resolutions? Please share, I can always use some motivation for Mondays 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

🎉 Oh my goodness, happiest of birthdays to my little mini-me. We have had so much fun in these past two years. She always lights up my world with her sense of humor and her ability to have fun with ANYTHING she comes in contact with.🎉
.
She is always willing to share and runs at the drop of a hat if someone starts crying to pat their back. I honestly, learn from her every day. 🥰♥️
.
Every SINGLE thing I do for my business is for her future and to set an example that women CAN.
They say behind every strong man is a strong woman, but, I want her to know (which Ken probably approves too much) that she doesn’t NEED a man to define her and her worth. 👻💯
.
She is already so tough I cannot help but be inspired by her “go getter” attitude already. Life doesn't owe you anything. You must be ready and willing to create for yourself. We love you Ella, keeps shining your beautiful light, your giving spirit, and that adorable smile that God has blessed you with. ☀️ #ourellagrace
