Happy One Year Roller Derby-versary

    Today is a very special Anniversary for me. It is my One year Derby-versary! One year ago I did something that was completely out of my freaken out of my comfort zone! I joined Roller Derby! I was going through a tough time with my marriage at the time and just wanted to do stuff for myself. I had a bucket list of things to do and try. Things that I have always wanted to try but never got the chance to or the guts to! I put up a post about wanting to try a session with roller derby, got an email from a gal name Jabber ( which at the time I was like, who would name their child Jabber LOL, not knowing that Derby players have nicknames!) Stopped by to check out her League High Tide, the following week stepped on the track with some skates on Feb.13th 2017 and from that moment it was never just a session! I was scared shitless because this was something totally out of my comfort zone!
    This was the first time I tried something where I didn't know anyone or anything about! I haven't put on a pair of roller skates since I was 10 years old or so! No many could or would understand the feeling it gives you unless you try it or was going through something where you just wanted to get away to do something for yourself for once and just FELL  IN LOVE!!!!!
    All I can say is that  Roller Derby is been a big part of my healing process of everything that I have gone through and I am so thankful for it. Not everyone is going to understand and it's okay if they don't. It's not their thing, it's your thing. Happy One Year to ME!!

8.6.2018 .. Man.... finally!  I feel like a HUGE load has been lifted off my shoulders! I have been divorced for almost a year, and before that I was separated for 2 years. I moved out of my house May 2017, and was living with my sister for almost a year. I moved out and got my own place Jan 2018!! since may 2017 I rented a storage unit with all my stuff but I also had some more stuff at my old house. Well, today I finally got the rest of my stuff out of that house! I mean it was a weird moment with negativity when it got dropped off but I kept my cool and I imagined myself as a tree with strong roots! Roots that dug deep into the ground, and impossible to be knocked over. After getting all the stuff what I wanted, and to see that negative energy drive off all huffin and puffin make made me smile. Made me smile because I finally got my stuff and also made me smile because I not longer felt stuck. I no longer felt like the bad juju had something over my head!   Now the next project

 I had my first mommy and me session with the boys! I haven't took photos with them since they were 3 years old! This session meant so much to me! I have gone through so much this past couple of years and all I wanted was a session of just me and my boys.   I had everything planned out in my head! As a photographer myself, I wanted this session to be PERFECT so this was my list that I had: coordinating outfits  hair and makeup  boys haircuts make sure I don't have bags in my eyes  shave legs and pits  do nails The list goes on......... I reached out to my talented Momma friend Kristina from Nohea Photography and asked if she would be able to do our session.  I am so glade to have her  shoot for us! Kristina was amazing!!! She read my mind, and she also reminded me that the list I had doesn't make  a perfect session. For the perfect session, all I needed was the boys and ME!  Prior to the session I had a tough week. Dealing with negativity from my ex husband a
