Things I tell myself every day... and a non "curated" candid photograph for once

Stand a little straighter.
Try your best.
Don't be afraid.
You're special.
Make someone smile.
You can take the next step.
Believe you can be the best version of yourself in any given moment... even if a person seems to doubt your motives or seems skeptical about who you are.
Those people who don't make you feel like you matter don't matter.
This is an impactful moment.
Open yourself up.
Be the friend you can't live life without.
Appreciate this person.
This interaction is special.
Find joy in this moment.
There is beauty around you.
Be grateful not because gratitude brings abundance but because gratitude brings peace of heart.
Take this chance -- It might open doors.
Trust your gut.
Don't be ashamed that you trusted your gut and that THAT was the #1 motive of your decisions for the day.
This person has a different story & history than I... Let me try to understand.
How can I make this person see the beauty that I see in them?!!!
What would make this moment stand out?
How can I add value?

And as promised in the subject of this blog post... A completely candid/non-curated photograph of me doing whatever it is I do taken by my husband... Oddly carrying a bag of clothes before a photoshoot beside my Kia Soul, which I've named "Marshmallow", because the truth is... life is not always glamorous and clean and beautiful.

To me, there is an immense amount of beauty in the creatively planned. The intentionally composed. The strategic content business planning... However, that's not how my life plays out on a daily basis & lately I've felt more called to REAL than just "pretty".

There's a big trend on the interwebular (new word???) to ONLY post these curated/thought out images. I get it because as a creative artist, the content & imagery you're posting is seen as your style & work. There's so much competition in the creative industry that you want to really put your best foot (or lens in my case) forward.

I fall into that you guys... But it's not telling MY story. MY story is a little more chaotic than that. It's running around, it's meeting new friends, it's learning about people, it's accepting that I'm not perfect, it's accepting that others aren't perfect. MY story is a story of hope and trusting life's ebb and flow. Hoping every day that I can be a better person & do something great in this life.

I want to know what you're hoping for... Email me your thoughts and let's start a conversation to grow each other!! hi @ little miss creative (dot) com  -------> Written this way for the "web-spam-bot-things" to not hack my email addy and send me weird Viagra messages on an hourly basis. Ya'll, don't act like this doesn't happen to you!

For the sake of reality,
