✨celebrate yourself✨

it doesn’t matter
whether you’re on the edge of seventeen filled to the brim with life,
or old and grey with eighty six years’ worth of stories—

we have all been built by the same golden hands of time
and carved by the strength of memories.

a natural longing
for dreams and foresight
propel us to move forward
despite the storms of the heart or of life itself,
in all its ugly, glorious grandeur.

so take time to celebrate you:
your revolutions around the sun,
your tears,
all the pieces of your glass heart shattered on the floor,
your laughter, your words,
and all your golden days.
**you are,
and always will be.

poem written by: Tamia

Of all the pictures I’ve had taken over the years for work, this is by far one of my favorites.

Laughing at my awkward attempts to perch on the rocks and trying to get my hair away from my eyes, this candid moment is so much more to me than good natural lighting, composition and the smile on my face.

It’s special because my teenage daughter was my photographer that day. The engraving behind me (found later during edits) is a sweet coincidence.

This one didn’t make the cut for the headshots I needed, but I like it because I look happy and it reminds me that there’s Magic and Beauty in the process of making, of creating, of living and this life.

Here’s to celebrating another revolution around the sun!

Need a nap but short on time?

Try just 5-10 minutes in this simple variation of Constructive Rest. It’s a great way to reset and recharge when feeling overtired or if a napping is not your jam.

Recline and rest lower legs up on a chair or couch so the hip and knee joints are bent, about 90 degrees. If needed, use a folded blanket under the pelvis or calves to better fit leg length to chair height. You’ll want to position yourself so you can let go of all effort and you feel comfortable.

Set a timer for 5-10 minutes. If all you have is 5, you’ll still benefit from the time you spend here.

Bonus: Use an eye-pillow or a light fabric to cover the eyes to reduce or eliminate the sensory input of light and support the body’s relaxation response. If you need to avoid any pressure on the eyes, try a light cloth or place the eye pillow over forehead instead.

When the timer is up, slowly exit the position. Or reset the timer if you can spend more time there. Notice how you feel before returning to the rest of your day.

Maybe I’ve got too many tabs open on my device, maybe it’s Mercury Retrograde….or perhaps my cache is too full and I need a software update (I’m looking at you IG Reels preview!).

Whatever the case is, I’ve been reminded in no uncertain terms that sometimes we need to step away from what we’re doing, take a moment to unplug, reset and reboot so things (or we) can get the “glitch” out and work again.

If you need to reboot your body - or get the “glitch” out, I’ve got a few events coming soon to help. Stay tuned!
