"People criticized me for my photography. They said it's not art." ~ David Hockney

"New year - a new chapter, new verse, or the same old story? Ultimately we write it. The choice is ours." ~ Alex Morritt Good morning; afternoon; and evening friends and fans! Namasté. 🧘🏽‍♀️ Wow, this year is already come and now we're entering a new year. I do want to keep my New Year's Resolutions [refer to  Let's Make The New Year Magical  blog] but keep it for the upcoming year and will continue to focus on my health and working on being happy, even if it means being single. Yet, I really need to be less critical of myself in a negative way and learn to love myself first so I can positively radiate light from the inside out, every angle possible. Go on dates, regardless of what my mother says and no, I haven't sat down in conversation with her asking her what her thoughts would be in regards of me having a genuine love life because I feel I deserve it. What is my mother going to do to me? What, is she going to call the police on me just because I feel th...

"If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health." ~ Hipporates Good morning; afternoon; and evening friends and fans! Namasté. 🧘🏽‍♀️ I've been working out for the last eleven months since I'm looking to lose weight and I'm at that point that I'm becoming discouraged since I feel like I haven't seen anything different. If need be, I'm looking to join Planet Fitness but my intentions are there as to why I want to work out, and I'd say the same for Tiger Schulmann's Martial Arts . I have my reasons why I want to take up martial arts, and I feel like I'm getting more for the buck so to speak. Another thing is if I were to take up martial arts but I'm not sure it's not all that necessary to do yoga as well and I figured it'll be the best health investment I can make one can make for themselves. For those who are on a budg...

"A boy needs a father to show him how to be in the world. He needs to be given swagger, taught how to read a map so that he can recognize the roads that lead to life and the paths that lead to death, how to know what love requires, and where to find steel in the heart when life makes demands on us that are greater than we think we can endure." ~ Ian Morgan Cron Good morning; afternoon; and evening friends and fans! Namasté. 🧘🏾‍♀️  It doesn't make the morning news when a dad remembers to pack the extra juice box, or when he spends his entire lunch break reviewing math homework. But it is in these quiet, unprompted moments that a father's love truly speaks life into a child. It is the reassuring smiles, the early morning drop-offs, and the desire to build a strong foundation without being asked. To the fathers who step into the gap, show up when they are tired, and parent with intention - you are the silent architects of your children's happiness. "There'...

Good morning; afternoon; and evening friends and fans! Namasté. 🧘🏽‍♀️ This is my sixth spiritual blog and I hope it'll be my final blog on spirituality. Other five were written about brujeria and this one is something different. I feel that I had to find the proper words so I wouldn't mess up my words and went to revisit a blog titled:  What Everyone Ought To Know About Spiritual  Experience  and carried over six videos over to this blog. As of now, I have found fifteen videos and haven't found a whole lot of reading material for those who are interested in wanting to find out if there are any reading material in regards of Yahuah. I'm not going to go crazy and there are videos I have not added to this blog. For the time being I'll begin with these selected videos I've chosen and if there's any videos you're curious about, feel free to check them out at your own leisure without any distraction. Keep in mind, these YouTube channels aren't going to l...

"There's no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be good one." ~ Jill Churchill Good morning; afternoon; and evening friends and fans! Namasté. 🧘🏽‍♀️ Happy Mother's Day out there, whether if you're happily married or a single mom and much respect to the mom's out there by choice. What I mean by this is A Single Mother by Choice is someone who is consciously decides to start a family on their own without a romantic partner and I respect their choice while this decision may not be for everyone . I may not know everyone's personal situation, and I know my situation is different because I wasn't planning on being a mom at the age of 26. Long story short, my son's father didn't take no for an answer because he wanted a reason why I've said no while on top of me undoing my belt and pants. I have zero desire to be a mom, whether a single mom or a married woman with shared responsibilities with her husband where I'd have to consta...

"Legalizing marijuana would make a lot of sense, I don't there's a single case of marijuana overdose on record and tens of millions of users. It's much less dangerous than alcohol, for example." ~ Noam Chomsky Good morning; afternoon; and evening friends and fans! Namasté. 🧘🏾‍♀️ Happy 420 everyone! As you already know, today is 420 and it's something I support because it's not anything like cocaine or heroin. I had recently found out there's a convention pertaining to weed being hosted in Las Vegas, Nevada in November until December. MJBizCon  from November 28 - December 1, 2023 in Las Vegas, Nevada and a pre -registration is required). It is my humble opinion that the billions of dollars being spent on the war against marijuana should be diverted to more useful projects like feeding the less fortunate in the society. The government is more focused on people in the black and brown communities carrying up to three ounces of cannabis and up to 24 grams...

 "Whoever gossips to you will gossip about you." ~ Phillip Sidney Good morning; afternoon; and evening friends and fans! Namasté. 🧘🏽‍♀️It's been nearly three years since my email to Nargiss and Pamela  (I'm certain their feelings are still  injured to this day but boo-hoo). Unfortunately, my "mother" and Nargiss both have nothing  better to do with themselves because here they go with their bullshit of talking shit about me since they both  are bitter and  miserable with themselves that they have to talk shit about me! If Nargiss wanted to know which high school my son, Stephan will be attending in the fall, she could  have directly asked me since I am Stephan's mother! My mother is only that miserable grandmother with nothing of importance to give back to the universe (just saying). I may not follow the Christian "bible" or the Christian teachings, as the saying goes, "You reap what you sow," and be mindful of the Wiccan Law of T...

"A lady never shows her soul outside the boudoir." ~ Shonda Rimes , Year of Yes Good morning; afternoon; and evening friends and fans! Namaste. 🧘🏾‍♀️ As I'm hanging out at Starbucks waiting for my laundry to finish at the laundromat around my way and I've been looking into boudoir photography. I've heard of boudoir in the past but never considered the concept of doing boudoir photography whatsoever and it may not be a bad idea because I'd rather keep my options open as a source of additional income. So far, I've found several articles online in regards of boudoir and what caught my attention when I was searching for articles to post on Twitter. I've come across The  Growing Popularity and Creative Versatility of Boudoir Photography  first and then I also came across  How Boudoir Photos Are Redefining Sexy . Let's get into the technical bits and pieces of what Boudoir photography is and it started in the 1890's as lewd or obscene photos in Fra...

"It's about reacting to what you see, hopefully without preconception. You can find pictures anywhere. It's simply a matter of noticing things and organizing them. You just have to care about what's around you and have a concern with humanity and the human comedy." ~ Elliott Erwitt Good morning; afternoon; and evening friends and fans! Namaste. It's been a year, three months and twenty-four hours since I've been on a photography walk. I miss going on photography walks because it's so very therapeutic and relaxing! Last time I've gone on a photography walk was in Long Island City here in Queens (October 2021) and a long story short, I got to see Blue Bloods being filmed not far from the Pepsi Cola sign. Several years ago, I had a dream I met Donnie Wahlberg but it was on a school bus. In this particular scene, Donnie Wahlberg was in a scene with Steve Schirripa (he played Bobby Baccalieri on The Sopranos). Michael Imperioli (he played Christophe...
