Hoping Santa Paws treated you all to something yummy and or fun this holiday! Most of all, we wish you all joy, love, warmth, good health and safety...... Don't forget to bring gratitude to the forefront of your day... Some of the littlest gifts are the greatest of gifts... For those who don't feel merry this year, it's okay, don't feel pressured by all the glitter and glamour..... Come as you are... The ones that love you fully will not care! If you know someone that lost someone special this year, someone that may be spending the day alone, someone that struggles with mental illness and the holidays..... Reach out to them. A simple text, or better yet, a call can go a long way. Just letting them know you are thinking about them May help them feel less alone. Holidays can be tough for some. Especially the ones that help the year come to an end.... No matter what you are loved and seen.... Merry/Happy whatever it is you celebrate! 🎄❤️🐾
Grateful for all of you!

That time, 5 years ago, when I did a one man show in reading, at Miller Center. The project was, "what being trans meant to me". The purpose of this project, was to help bring attention to a documentary that was being shown about the journey of a trans teenager, a trans musician, and a mother coming to terms with her transitioning child, titled, Real Boy.............. If you are looking to learn more about what it's like living the life as a trans individual, Google that film and watch it. It brought me so many feelings while I watched it.............. These photos were displayed for a few weeks in the main lobby, where everyone got to see. I almost let my nerves take over so much that I almost walked away before even walking into the building. I didn't comply with my anxiety and got to meet some pretty incredible people when I went to opening night. I even got to sit on stage and speak. This project was so therapeutic and enlightening in so many ways. It was scary and thrilling at the same time. I felt so vulnerable, yet so accepted and loved. It was definitely an incredibly enlightening night for me. I would love to make this project bigger and possibly publish it into a book. The "purpose", to educate the ones who are so fearful they choose hate. To help them see that I'm just another human being. To allow them to feel a little of what it's like to be me. Possibly even help someone else feel seen......... For now, they rest in a box, in a room, comfortably........ My greatest expression is through the art of photography............. Art Is about being vulnerable. Sharing what's inside you through different mediums. Expressing yourself out loud. Some choose to share this with the world. Some only to a journal. Every journey is different. Every expression is real. Some choose personal stories and some just choose to just create their own. I personally use art as therapy to help me through my life's journey. I choose to let mine slip through the pages instead of through the cracks to get lost forever. I like real, raw, messy art. Art that someone can relate to and hopefully help them in some form. My heart beats knowing I helped pull on someones heartstrings. The black and white series were shot, everything was signed, and everything was framed all the way through the night before they were displayed. Although I had the majority ready, it came together in a day. There is more behind this series and I hope to add to it soon, but for now I'll just leave them here. This is a part of my life's journey... There is so much more and so much more to express. Share your story. You never know who your mistakes, battles, or lessons learned may help. Be true. Be kind. Most importantly, be YOU.

"self portrait"
This is me, unfiltered, filled with acne, and exhaustion around my eyes. This is me, unfiltered, wearing a smile, and yet I'm battling so much inside. This is me unfiltered, experiencing growth, and never giving into the internal lies. This is me unfiltered, refusing to ever give up, and just taking it one day at a time. This is me unfiltered, holding my head up high, because I have you by my side. This is me unfiltered, after celebrating a birthday, and having to say goodbye...................... Feeling overwhelmed with gratitude, mixed with so many emotions in which I'm still learning to regulate or even understand..... Thank you to those who have left, those who stayed, and those who get dirty with me. I'm falling so deep in love with this healing journey. I'm learning to love all my pieces....... Who would have ever thought, happiness is so much harder to accept and feel, deeply, than all the negativity...... For those who struggle to find hope. Let me be the light that helps you find it. You got this. I see you. You are not alone. Just remember. Not all illnesses are visible. Not every smile holds true. Be kind and always be YOU!
