Happy New Year ! Welcome to your fresh start!





I hope you stayed up late through the last night of 2019 to Dawn Of the new Decade to embrace this transformation from 2019 to 2020 and feel the change in the air with family and friends. Before you do anything on this fresh start of this new year close your eyes for a moment and take a few breaths in and out ; think about what you want out of this moment and where you want to be in this year leading to the following year then open your eyes and write it down.

2019 was a full of Breakups, losses and unexpected greatness all at the same time.

For 2020 there is a vision to complete that was at my fingertips in 2019. See what I did there...

If you think, I am kidding about this , I am not. I am determined to make 2020 the year that passes any other year of my lifetime. And the truth of the matter is that I have nothing to lose but everything to gain.

And I hope this year is THIS year is for you and your families too. I want to see the world and the people around me to be glowing with happiness and success we all deserve that and to happen in 2020. If that's finding your soulmate or having everything lininging up at the right time. Make a goal plan to complete Your Vision of dreams into your Reality. Make an outline for yourself on your phone with check in calendar dates and deadlines. Make a vision board and put it your closet, on your desk , some place where you are going to see your wishes and dreams every single day, after you wake up or when you are about to walk out the door.

I have a plan of goals in my head that I want to complete even if the first attempts don't work , I am going showing up each time until I get to Z. There were things last year, that I haven't completed in personal and work achievements. This year however my aim is to complete them and then some. And yes I have them write down and they will be in my phone as well as a reminder.

I recommend looking up a few motivational quotes to add to your vision that way on your hardests days that will help you stay in the right state of mind. This year, I will be turning Twenty- Six and I have a feeling that Twenty-Six will be a magical year for me.

Now everyone knows I choose a word or a short phase for the new year, it is Unconditional Life. I like to think that's a powerful statement. Unconditional life to me is that unconditional Love to life, when when it's harsh,draining, beautiful and rich. Going through this year unconditionally , opens the doors and it brings in positivity through every situation and relationship in my eyes. Those two words together, bring in absolute surrender to everything that tries to block something or someone. It will all happened they way it should in the end and chase what you want out this life because it's Yours. Your Dreams, your wishes make your reality Happen. Take it all on, the problems, the overcoming of it because being unconditional also means don't stand in your own way either.

Seek the moments you envisioned, become the person you always wanted to be and be open to all you want achieve, don't back down from your truest potential of your own greatness.

You just might impress yourself with your own ability of strength and courage to hit your dreams.

2020 is about your Focus, Faith , Trust and living up to your potential.


Step into the new and grant your own wishes and there will always be someone to catch you, Remember that. The journey awaits for all of us and where it all it leads , we don't know always where it will go but I can promise it will surprise you and teach you. By that being said, Let's kick of this year to be the one that beats them all unexpectedly and one for the story books. Live this year wildly, unconditionally focused.


With Love always ,

P.S I hoped you have enough coffee to get you through the hangover. And thank you for a reading this little three minute post !

 

Another trip out to the mountains, Eastern Sierra ; the place call my second home. This trip was a interesting one, I can easily say that. Two days with three cameras ,I got lots of pictures. This trip was originally supposed to be three days but life changed that but I am blessed to have the time I had, was amazing. Maverick had a bee sting him and the power went out at my home from the high winds but in the end everything worked out to be a happy ending.

Back to the trip, waking up at three am on a weekday was so worth it, in so many aspects. Yes , I did get my coffee at three am and drove five hours. So many sights that I have seen my whole life and also locations, I have never been before,surprising. At least on this trip no one lost their phone this time. But I did do the number one thing as photographer that would make any photographer cry. I dropped one of camera's in dirt ,at least it didn't land on the rocks and I didn't need emergency surgery on it either, I got LUCKY. I picked it up and said a little a prayer and it come to life. I main aim of this trip was to get more fall colors captured and chase down as many waterfalls , I could get to. I captured almost all of them on my list besides one, I couldn't to it, that's for another trip all by itself. I do have to say , I found one waterfall that I didn't expect to find on my last day , on a early morning at the twin lakes. I couldn't believe it , I never spotted it before this trip. I turned into a little girl in a candy shop quickly as I jumped out of the pick up truck faster than I ran into any coffee shop.

Speaking of coffee, Sidenote if you have never been to the black velvet coffee shop before worth every penny and then some in Mammoth.Let me tell you, everytime I am in Mammoth; I get myself a Peppermint mocha and I am one happy camper. Besides going to Mammoth, I went to Saddlebag, Lee Vining, June Loop; Convict Lake, Bishop and Mt Whitney area. Along the way in almost every location, I found a little spot or two that I never been before. Sometimes I think each time I am on the Eastern Sierra ,It keeps growing and new places appear that, I have never been to before.

I love the aspect of traveling up and down curvy roads that lead to places that I have been before. I love that giddy smile and laugh seeing something that makes you completely relax that's not the internet or social media related but what's in front of the windows of the soul that makes life unbelieve to experience. I hiked so many paths in those days and saw butterflies , flying besides me and hearing the running creeks in the area and the clean air to breathe in. I did have a few sketchy little hikes that turned into crawling on rocks and griping edges . I can easily say another successful trip without a hiking injury.

I think one of the coolest things about this trip was being the one to show someone else places where they have never been before that made my heart happy to share that with that person. And watching their eyes see something for the first time made me feel like, I was seeing those spots for the first time to. Two locations for me where perfect to photograph was Convict lake and the two waterfalls in Lee Vining . I just happened to have the right timing and lighting to get the exact shots, I wanted that made happy.

Another interesting moment was watching a hatchery truck drive past then immediately jumping in the truck to find where his next location was. I haven't done that since I was a little girl , it felt like a mission to find the truck when he had about ten minutes ahead of us. After go through a few other spots and no truck in sight , we saw him coming out of the next campsite. Being excited to not only find some gorgeous but wouldn't you believe it, I found another waterfall , I HAVE Never seen before in my whole life. I almost cried right on the spot but there was few people coming up the spot and they would have been confused seeing a photographer crying and photographing at the same time ,especially since no one was getting married at that present moment . That's how much I love nature and how much joy and beauty it brings to life; It was all here before us and will be here after us.

One of the scariest moments were one road locations and a creek on one side and cliff on the other. It's definitely a challenge to drive when people haven't driven it before. A few times on certain points , I held my breath in and hoped the other driver knew how to drive ,safely. And probably wasn't the smartest decision to have a lifted truck at the same time. Upon arrival to the inn and parking in the garage wasn't the easiest to navigate through when there were poles everywhere and ceiling was about a few inches away from the roof. But lesson learned and nevertheless an interesting experience.

After rushing home that next day, getting cases of water, finding a generator a few towns away and gas can, plus dinner which was grilled chicken ; wouldn't you believe it the power finally came on; it was a miracle of luck . That was the ending of my trip. Those two days , were perfect, perfect weather minus the thoughts of what could be happening at home ,running through my mind.

I have so much content to share, from this trip, I don't even know where to beginning with. And I do have some awesome gopro footage but I didn't bring my drone this time, sadly.

 

I have been challenging myself to do more night sky shots, I have lots to learn but I am getting better at it. Night shots of the moon and the stars have always been my struggle in photography. And I can't wait for July's Eclipse that's coming in a week. I hope you enjoy my edits and look forward to hear your feedback.

P.s I will be Releasing more Written pieces coming soon as well as more edits. I am started to make my piles of backup folders of photography of edits getting smaller. My passion for writing and photography is in full swing and I have lots to share.
