Day 1,203 of 1,460

As Life surrounds us

We embrace it with little fuss

It fills us with joy and LooVe

It's God's gift from above

As certain as our spirits soar

on the wings of doves

We must be sure of 1 thing

Death awaits us all

yes it does

It's simply a part of life

As we spin through space

in this living paradise

It sits on the outskirts

Patiently awaiting its time to come

We never know when God will call us home

But we can feel it in our bones

As every day we grow older

Ashes to ashes...dust to dust

Of all that is right and just

It is in God we trust

We simply never know

when death will come for us

So we live each day to the most because

Today is all we truly have

So live it to the fullest no matter what

Death MooVes in mysterious ways as it does

You simply never know when it's your day

We have no idea how much time we got

I've seen death before and survived its claws

13 times before as I've kept count

just because

So I appreciate all that life has to offer

And I can promise you this

It's worth more than the almighty dollar

Those who think otherwise often falter

I've looked beyond all my doubts

In the name of my almighty Father

As time tends to slow down

When Death is around

I've seen my life flash before my eyes

Too many times

I've seen heaven..I've seen hell in this lifetime

I'm blessed to still be alive

So I use each day I have to thrive

I beg of you to do the same

Life is not a game

For when it's too late, your outta time

There's rarely any second chances

It's usually a 1 way ticket to the divine

So appreciate the air in your lungs

Give thanks for the days sunshine

Break open a great bottle of wine

Celebrate daily because you only live once

as we tend to forget sometimes

But never forget how fragile life can be

It's meant to be lived happily

Use the time you have wisely

Spread your energy freely, authentically

But as for me

Regret is the only thing

that frightens me, truly

I say this with all honesty

Never let something burden you permanently

Set it free

Do what you must do to let it be

BLoG: My Dedication to Freelance

Are you or your business in search of or in need of a Graphic Designer or Photographer or Marketing Assistant or Brand Ambassador? This is what we do as a Professional Freelancer. We work in many fields of business and thats what we love most about bring a Freelancer. No project is ever the same and every day can be so different and unique depending on which hat I'm wearing or field of business I am working in. Projects can last from hours to days so time management is super important. Staying focused is imperative. Anticipation of the clients needs are key! This is ideal work for the Creative who can't decide on just 1 field of business or interests. This is how we mix it up and keep it interesting. This is how we don't get bored or have a run in with monotony. This is how we stay sharp!

We are here in Orlando and local to the Central Florida area.. I am a Creative of more than 30 years and the name of my company is DPomalesCreative Services. How can we be of service? We LooVe what we do and we intend it to show through our creative ways. Embracing my creativity has been a game changer that happened in 2008 when I finally walked away from the corporate 9-5 job. I chose to put my hard efforts, commitment and loyalty into me, instead of a job/corporate entity that only saw me as a number or would easily lay me off due to budget cuts and other nonsense. This was my time to shine and I took a big step in a new direction. I would chase my passions!

I have not stopped shining nor regret my choice to go Freelance. I have gained so much knowledge and experience in so many different fields that I'm ready for anything that comes at me. I am a well rounded creative and have found my place in the world's of Branding... Marketing/Printing... Photography... Graphic Design... Management... Event Professional/Brand Ambassador... and this list goes on! These are just some of the areas I work in and contribute to. I have always followed my passions and so I express it in all that I've done since inception of my new found mindset so many years ago. I'd had enough with corporate layoffs and mergers that left you (or the creative dept) out in the rain so to speak. I decided I would take my future into my own hands. I would take the skillsets I had and hone in on my crafts.

I am a Jack of all trades, and a master to some! Meaning, I have spent many years sharpening my abilities and skillsets working multiple jobs and adapting to impossible scenarios while maintaining consistency and authenticity! I've learned from the best in my journey through life and crazy career choices. And here we are, still doing the things we LooVe to do! This is where I see my future self. There's nothing else I'd rather be doing!

And it's a blessing as I battle the lasting effects of a TBi (Traumatic Brain Injury) that changed my life and the onslaught of PTSD that came with it. I am not the man I was but after extensive therapy (on-going) I respect and love the man I am today. That being said the impact somehow gave me access to my more creative side as I was not about that mindset before my accident.

Long story, short, by the grace of God I survived the accident and near death experience that I went through and life simply changed for me. I could no longer waste time on things that did not benefit me. I began to respect the time we have left on this earth more. I decided to follow my passions and do things that made me happy. And here we are still doing what we love to do which is 1) Help others 2) Be of service 3) Do Unto others...

Simply reaching out to my vast community across the web and businesses worldwide! We Love what we do and we intend it to show in our services. Our skillsets are polished and ready to help you bring your brand, business or company to life.

BLoG: A Freelancers Life

As a Freelancer, each week is different from the next. One week we are working as a Brand Ambassador and the next week we are working as a Photographer or even a Graphic Designer. You just never know what's coming at you from day to day or week to week. All you know is that you LooVe what you do and that you are prepared for anything that comes. As a Freelancer you work from a set of skills you have perfected to the best of your abilities. These skills can range from so many industries that it can become overwhelming in nature. But the bottom line is you are secure and confident in whatever those skillsets are and you are ready for whatever comes at you.

As a Freelancer since 2008 I have found great pride in my work and what I do. Which is helping other businesses grow. As long as I am working for myself, I am happy. As a Freelancer we wear many hats. Last week, we worked in Branding/Marketing. Helping brands to shine in their element and time of need. This week or the next few days we will be wearing our photography hat to help another company get through their 2 days of working with and photographing children's sports. It is a well known fact how much we LooVe working with children. After all, they are the future and our leaders of tomorrow. This is why we LooVe what we do. Each day is filled with something different to do. Every day is filled with different challenges that we must overcome.

Working as a Freelancer, we must strive to always be on our best game. No matter the task we must approach it with enthusiasm and complete professionalism. It is a privilege to be able to answer the needs of our clients. They believe and trust in our abilities. So we must always give 1,000% at all times. Working for myself is a freedom I cherish. But in order to do so you must be willing and able to accept and overcome whatever challenges or requests that are set before you. You must always be on your A-Game. There is no greater feeling than the satisfaction I feel when a clients event is complete and I have exceeded their needs and expectations.

So here's to Freelancing and the career versatility it offers. No 2 days are ever the same. It's all about manifesting your own destiny. Working for yourself offers so many opportunities to be all that you can be. You are in charge of your own destiny and future. You dictate your own work schedule and hours, as well as pay rate. There's absolutely nothing like it. I am blessed that I get to do whatever I choose to do...Photography, Graphic Design, Marketing, Branding and Brand Ambassadorship are just the more in demand services I offer. But that is just the tip of the iceberg. Imagine how deep we truly go.

Day 1,170 of 1,460

Feels like I just dodged a bullet

so I thank my lucky stars

And just stick to it

MeaniN I Push and GrinD hard

That's the ticket...

We do what we gotta do

to get through it

Back against the wall

But God always gets me through it

No need to prove it

HE is in every word I speak

Believe it

That's simply the only way it's done

Cause dodging these bullets ain't fun

Gotta have faith

HIS will be done

Now that I got my health back

Fighting off all these infections

As it can be tough

getting around this town

With your smile upside down

Without feeling 100% believe that

Problem solved... now what

I do what I must

not to get stuck in a rut

We take Life as it comes, it nuts

We gotta have the guts

We better know where we're coming from

Cuz man it's rough

Things can get real tough

Staying on the straight and narrow path

You gotta watch your step at every pass

It all adds up

If you do the math

One thing is for certain

I do not live in my past

I stay the line I do not crash

Living on the edge

is where I make my cash

Man this life MooVes so fast

So appreciate each day

make them last

God only gives you one life

So be grateful of the life you have

[dpomalescreative]

BLoG: A Brand Ambassadors Life

So as I complete event after event. I grow more and more to LooVe what I do. The importance of Brand Ambassadors is key to a successful event. The roles we take on, the tasks we are assigned to are super important to the client as well as the attendees that are at said event. No matter how small your role may seem it is vital that you fulfill it to the best of your ability. As a Brand Ambassador we must reinforce the weakest points of the clients armor so that their brand shines even in the toughest and most complicated situations. 

Representing a Brand demands a lot of responsibility. Arriving on time, communicating clearly and being professional at all times are factors that cannot be overlooked. The client is depending on you, a stranger for the most part, to do whatever it is they need done. Whether it's registration, directionals, interacting with attendees or scanning badges the list is long. It's imperative that you are focused, present and ready for whatever comes at you. There are times when you must be a problem solver or resolution finder. Inevitably, you are the face of the brand itself so you must act as such. Again, professionalism is your main responsibility and your ability to be flexible and versatile is monumental. These abilities are imperative to selling yourself as a capable individual, or brand ambassador. As the idea is to have the client call you back for future events. You must sell yourself as an effective and reliable source.

I have been working as a Brand Ambassador on and off for many years (since 2008). I have been of service to a variety of companies in need of branding and or  marketing. I LooVe what I do and allow it to show through my actions and abilities. Key elements of being a brand ambassador are that one is well spoken, educated and that one can remain composed in front of any kind of adversity or confusion. No matter the situation you must always remain on your toes and on your game. I always put my best foot forward and excel in conditions and situations that demand 100% of my attention.

Working as a Brand Ambassador offers many benefits such as great pay, a wide range of diverse events, the opportunity to work with many people, a high level of teamwork, the opportunity to both challenge yourself and to craft your abilities. The main challenge that exists as a Brand Ambassador is the ability to seek out and find said events on your own time and to fill your schedule accordingly. One must always remain working of course to pay your bills. So it is best to sign up with as many marketing companies as possible in order to build and create a funnel of work that is constantly turning or coming through your doors.

Day 1,139 of 1,460

Hear the breeze

Blowing through the leaves on the trees

Tis that time of year again it seems

Christmas is past us It's hard to believe

As the winds grow cooler

And the Temps get crueller

We tend to think of the past

We tend to think about our futures

2024 is here

we've come around that corner

Feelin like a fish outta water

Now what

Should God gift us with more time

If we are aloud to live

That much longer

What will you do this new year

What is the message

You wish to spread loud and clear

To what shall we

raise our glasses and cheer

My message is I shall not live in fear

I shall cherish each day

Shedding only happy tears

Should they fall at all

2023 saw many of my tears

Lost a brother to his inner fears

Actions we can never take back

We look for answers we may never find

Such things tend to haunt the mind

Yah it feels so unkind

They say wounds heal with time

But I only find that true sometimes

Other times wounds

remain open & painful

There is little relief or reprieve

We simply wish to become forgetful

But let me not ramble too far off track

Mainly here this season of the year

to give thanks

Thanks for all the gifts life brings in fact

Thanks for the many blessings

That come across our paths

God is great for all he does believe that

Tis the season to give back

To be thankful for the things you have

Not to focus on the things you lack

Even when life is on the attack

And we gotta stay mentally strapped

To handle this world so wacked

It can make you feel trapped

Back against the wall in fact

But we get through it

Breathe in ..breathe out..relax

I put it in GODS hands

Toss the coin up see where it lands

Heads or Tails

It never fails

I give him the wheel

Especially when we're riding off the rails

No one can handle the pressure

Like HE can

I remain amazed

accepting the pains & pleasures

As I grip the wheel with both hands

Life is a gift even with all its demands

We must appreciate it all that we can

For we are only here in life

for a short span

So give it all you got

While your fate is still in your hands

[dpomalescreative]

Day 1,129 of 1,460

The service we do

Results in the impact we make

There in lies a SoulFuL purpose in you

Therefore we are authentic

We can never be fake

These are the steps we take

Taking steps cautiously

as these are the breaks

We MooVe through life vicariously

We are wide awake

As we maneuver pitfalls and heartbreak

always going in a good direction

That's what it takes

it helps with my consistency in life

As I trek

along this path I make

I do my best

to know where I'm going

in order to be able to appreciate

where I am at, always knowing

These are the facts

There's no time like the present

Being present is essential I confess

I get no rest

as I put myself to the test

Pushing myself til I'm outta breath

Gotta climb to the summit

Even if it feels like Mt Everest

What don't kill you

makes you stronger, bet

That which makes you stronger

Is where we place our focus, next

Focus is key in this game of chess

Exhaling as I get this sentiment

off my chest

Our actions bring our words to life

Words that can also cut like a knife

As we speak them into existence

We seek a path of least resistance

We wish to do good not bad

We know life can change in an instant

So be careful what you say

stand up and be resilient

Don't let what others say get in your way

Words only have the power

you give to them

And sometimes they can be like mountains

That we must leap over in a single bound

We are our own super heroes, found

In this story we write about

ain't that profound

We can MooVe faster

than the speed of sound

By thinking before we speak that's how

When we choose our words carefully

Before we pronounce them out loud

Give your thoughts time to air out

Never allow your emotions to bleed out

Control is a superpower no doubt

While most choose to scream and shout

I choose to serve with peace in my heart

I choose a path of least resistance

As I go about life in my existence

I thank GOD for his many gifts

As I go about living a life of forgiveness

Letting go of all the hatred and anguish

It's worth it, I promise

[dpomalescreative]

Day 1,115 of 1,460

To be or not to be

that is the age old question

I am to be all that HE

wishes me to be

I do what I can honorably

I do what I must definitively

I am who I am unquestionably

To be or not to be

I wish to be for as long as GOD

Has plans for me

With all this Passion he has instilled in me

I do HIS bidding willingly

Whatever the task HE asks of me

I give it my all Passionately

To be or not to be

That is the question I ask of the

So what is it that you wish to be

What is it that MooVes you Spiritually

What do you know of the divine

I've been around a long time

Life has been sublime by HIS design

I've seen the signs

I can honestly say

GOD is real in my life

To be or not to be

What is it that you choose to be

I choose to be happy

Happy in all I can be

I live a life that ain't to shabby

I've had some hard times

yah its been crappy

But we come out on top

somehow, magically

To be or not to be

It all starts by speaking it poetically

Yes, I choose to live it creatively

It soothes my beast emotionally

But I must stay on my toes, intentionally

Gotta stay at the top of my game ideally

So I work for myself, most definitely

It's my time to lead

It's my time to be

It's my time to shine

To be or not to be

I am who I am because of THE

To my parents, Loved ones and family

Without you I am nothing

You are the wind beneath my wings

To you all I owe everything

These are the words

To the song I would sing

To be or not to be

If I could just find the lyrics

to make my song ring

In the hearts and minds

Of those listening and reading

To those who's heart light is still beating

I dedicate this to all of us

Who are still breathing

For life is a gift thats all I'm saying

BLoG: A Day in the Life of DPomalesCreative

Always inventing ways to stay employed. Or should I say self-employed. Keep in mind we are a freelance based service. Meaning we are always on the hunt for new/exciting opportunities and events happening around Orlando, our city beautiful. Shout out to my city! LooVe it here. We have the best that there is to offer here. I have raised my family here. Orlando has been good to us! But back to business at hand. Somehow, one way or another, I am always able to incorporate work that involves photography as well as other elements that I am heavily trained for. We have many years of experience in a number of industries that make us very versatile and accessible. Photography is, above all, my deepest passion. Therefore, I strive to find work that involves some type of photography or has photography elements involved.

For instance, this last event I worked was for the VMX Conference or Veterinary Meet and XPO 2024! Here I was tasked with multiple jobs: (1) being a Brand Ambassador for the Brand that hired me (2) providing photography for those who entered our footprint or tradeshow display and (3) Managing the location ensuring everything flowed smoothly/fluidly. Our task as Brand Ambassadors was to get attendees to enter our footprint and learn about the products and services offered. Then, my task was to lead them through the steps that allowed them to get photographed with the puppies they had on hand for adoption. Lastly, it was essential to manage the pace and movement of the line while giving everyone adequate time to enjoy their experience. It's a delicate balance of time and etiquette. But this is our environment. This is our element! This is what we LooVe to do. This is where we thrive!

Here at DPomalesCreative, we stay motivated and always on the ball. We strive to give our clients the best of ourselves that we have to offer. They get the best version of me in real time with all my abilities and faculties in full swing. We always think on our feet and are always PRESENT. When we are "on stage" or "on the clock," as they say, we are there for the client. However, they wish to utilize us. Whatever their specs require, we are there to give them 1000%. Once we are provided the "need to knows/selling points," we are then left to promote and introduce the target market/audience to the brand in our own unique and professional manner.

These are the ABC's of me and the 1,2,3's of DPomalesCreative. This in a nut shell is what we LooVe to do. This is what brings us to life. These are the kind of events and environment we are seeking out in 2024. All in all this was a fun and memorable event. But bottom line the client met their quota or goals that they intended to reach and both clients felt the event was a total success. That's a WIN/WIN in our book.

Day 1,110 of 1,460

Been writing for 1,110 days

So what now

The thoughts come crashing down

Where do we go from here ???

Is what it's all about

Sometimes I wanna Scream

Sometimes I wanna shout

I just wanna let it all out

It's a New Year and all

Thank you God for this gift

As these words cross my lips

I am grateful for this continued trip

Around the sun

and the cosmos beyond

I try not to flip

Gotta fight off any negative thoughts

Speak with purpose and not get caught

Up in turmoil and what I ain't got

It's terrible feeling so distraught

Yes I am grateful for so much

But I'm still in the red financially

and what not

My health issues had my hands in a knot

Couldn't work, lost almost 6 months

So now it's about playing catch up

Riding off these rails just trying to keep up

Appearance is everything

so I keep my head up

Put me in a suit that's what's up

I shine brighter than the sun sometimes

No ifs ands or buts

I am present when duty calls

I kid you not

It's the down time that gets me in knots

And too much down time is what's up

Especially when

They taking Dec, Jan even Feb off

The off season to some it's called

But it can be a death sentence

to those like me involved

Unprepared for winter as it comes

Many of us must still work beyond the Fall

We gotta stay on the ball

We gotta keep our world spinning

Always on call

We do business 24/7

It takes that much effort

without question

We do what it takes...we give our all

But the question echoes in my head

What Now...what's Next ...How come??

I ask The Lord

To give me his Strength

As I Fight these chains

weighing me down

Financial burdens got me stretched out

So tired of being Freaked Out

Thankfully, unquestionably

This writing certainly does help me out

Going on 4 years and counting

so look out

Still finding things to say

Still gots plenty to talk about

BLoG: Receiving a Medal with a Message!

I received this medal from a small 5Krace I photographed just yesterday. It was a moral builder for a company, so there were maybe a few hundred in attendance. It was quite enough for 1 photographer to handle, but something we are highly trained to handle. Though I did not run the race I was running around trying to capture the many areas of interest. As a momento of their appreciation they gave me a medal for my participation in capturing the many moments that transpired throughoutthe 2 hour event. It was a very kind gesture indeed from the client as these medals are fairly heavy in weight and must have cost them a pretty penny, so to speak.

And today when I pulled it out of my pocket, it's message struck a chord in me. It is a New Year after all. It is indeed a BOLD NEW ERA for me, if I will it to be. Coincidentally, I am making some changes this year, behind the scenes, to improve the longevity and productivity of DPomales Creative Services. But Time will only tell how well we accomplish our goal...to leave a legacy of some sort. Or to make some sort of profound impact on those who seek out our help or look to us for answers in the form of our various manners of support that DPomales offers. We are here after all to provide business solutions that work and count.

A BOLD NEW ERA... is an amazing way to look at the possibilities of tomorrow and our future beyond today. Though we must live for today, there is nothing wrong with planning for our futures. It takes a brave soul to set out on such a journey. After all we must look past our horizon to see the bigger picture. It is a commitment to seek out new opportunities, new relationships, new projects, new everything. It is time to stop doing what doesn't work and start to discover new ways to make things happen or bring to fruition. Bottom line we have to find out what does work and focus on those elements. So here's to a BOLD NEW ERA and a Fantastic NEW YEAR!

We are here for you whenever you are in need. We offer various levels of support in a number of industries. So it's definitely worth a chat to say hello and see how we can benefit each other. What we offer are the most creative and diverse support services in the areas of: Photography (all niches), Graphic Design, Branding and Marketing, Print, Content Creation, Event and Location Management just to name some of our more popular services.

Day 1102 of 1460

This is the black and white of me

This is where there's no in between

I don't have 50 shades of Grey believe me

What you get is what you see

A smoothe kind of fellow, real mellow

With a school of hard knocks degree

I've always overcome the negativity

Though nothing has come to me easily

I Appreciate what GOD has done for me

All that HE has given me

I thank HIM daily on bended knee

I am grateful above all indeed

As This is the black and white of me

I LooVe Hard, Passionately

I think too deeply

Imma savage when I gotta be

I am what GOD wills me to be

I stand on my own 2 feet

But I got Mad Support behind me

Even when I fall it's only temporary

They GoT me

For my FAMILY is a blessing

If I were a salad, they are my dressing

One without the other is vexing

What more can I say

They are my drive when I'm sweating

These hardships of life

That can be so depressing

I am nothing without them just saying

I count on them immensely

This is the black and white of me

As I express myself poetically

Finishing year 3 of this lyrical journey

This therapy in all its glory

has been so amazing

I've come a long way, trail Blazing

This fire inside burning

so furiously

It's warmth comforting me

In the bitter and dark times

when they appear

I believe in my GOD

I show no fear

For better or worse

He is always here

So keep in mind, let me be clear

Your mind is the soil

Your thoughts are the seeds

So be careful what you think and speak

This is what I believe

This is the black and white of me

Here we go year 4 of my diary

[dpomalescreative]

So today, Jan 2nd marks 3 years of writing consecutively, even on the daily. To the point of being the main content for my blog it chas consumed my spare time. Not sure what I feel about it but the journey has been enlightening. It has been a journey of pain, learning, understanding, struggles, trials and tribulations, the good the bad the ugly, gratitude and blessings. As life is a mixture of so many things and emotions. We must all find a way to cope. My way of coping with life has been writing and music therapy. The vehicles I have chosen to use are Poetry and Blogging. Then there is a little at home studio where I put my drum set!!! But that's a story in itself. I simply LooVe to write. Unfortunately, much of what I write goes unread so it's hard to determine whether I or it has left some sort of impact on anybody. But it is my intention to leave an impact even if it is just on 1 person. If what I write touches or helps just 1 person, I'm good.

Most of what I write is based on life with all its craziness and wonders that have transpired. The majority of it is my own style of poetry mixed in with some Blog pieces that vary in subject matter. Some readers may get my poetry, some may not. It's based on the goings on in my life, the ups and downs and everything in between. I leave nothing out. This is me. Poetry itself just seemed to be the best vehicle I could find to put my thoughts into shape; to put words to my feelings and emotions. It has become my way of coping with and celebrating life. It is certainly a form of therapy. And I am a huge advocate of therapy.

As many may or may not know,  therapy has been my salvation to the many things that were plaguing me and my health, making me sick. Therapy in its many forms has been transformational. I am not the man or person I was 3 years ago and prior. That person was filled with pain, misery and confusion from a head trauma that was left unattended and ignored for too many years. The person I am today is so much different. I have not felt free-er or more alive than I do today. I am more appreciative of the real gifts in life like love, family, life itself, the many blessings that it brings and so many of the little things. I find myself to be more grateful than I ever was for my health and mental wellness.

In closing, with this 3 year project, I guess writing has truly changed me. Writing as a form of therapy has been amazing. And a journey it has been to have been writing this long. As an advocate of therapy and its many forms, we as humans need therapy consistently. This is a crazy world we live in and it takes alot to get through each and every day. We sometimes need to remember to take care of ourselves 1st. For how can you take care of anyone else if you can not manage to take care of yourself. We owe it to our loved ones and those we care for to be the best version of ourselves that we can be. Your health is the key to a happy life. And therapy is key to a healthy and balanced life. Like I said, there are so many forms of therapy. Counseling is just 1 form. And I have done many years of that kind of therapy, but what has helped me most these last 3 years has been writing and music therapy.

Day 1093 of 1095

Writing poetry these last 3 years

Has been a journey so amazing

Blogging my way through life

Has been something so radical

Yet entertaining

A therapy so nontraditional

That I would write

about my life

so emphatically

I've put my heart on my sleeve

I've written what I pleased

I've left it all out there

Allowing my feelings to breathe

To give my words life indeed

These emotions of mine

How they ebb and weave

They flow so intentionally

These last 1095 days

have gone by so sensationally

Each day sentenced so poetically

About what life means to me

And all the things in between

I have spent the last 3 years

Letting my soul breathe

Allowing that light inside to be seen

It ain't always easy

To speak what you feel

About the world you see

Such personal things made real

As I attempt to cope and deal

With my emotions and feels

Then to write them

With rhymical appeal

For the world to read

And for my mind and body to heal

Its a glimpse into how I think

At least I don't need to drink

To express myself in such detail

Quit drinking some time ago

My perspective has changed

I'm more in tune to my ebb and flow

The tides within have subsided

This Tsunami of Emotional overload

That churned inside of me

no longer burdens me

I don't feel like I am drowning

It's as if a weight has been lifted

My God has been kind to me

I truly feel blessed and gifted

I no longer feel so conflicted

My Soul flies freely no longer twisted

In nots or caught up in the trauma

I was livin

My heart feels uplifted

Thank you God for this Life

That I've been given

And a Happy New Years

To us all

Here's to a Life of Happiness

that keeps us breathing

& in LooVe

with Living

DAY 1087 of 1095

My Days are long

My Days are beautiful

They are each so indisputable

No I'm not delusional

The next is better than the last

As each one does pass

I try to fall in LooVe with my day

Each and every day

That is a fact

they are a blessing...each one

As I feel the light of the sun

Though some days are darker

than other ones

They are a gift from God bar none

so unique and different

Filled with warmth and LooVe

I have zero complaints

I am thankful to the man above

And so every day I try

To be a better me, here's why

We only have 1 life

We only have so many tries

We never know when it's our time

So we have to live our best lives

And in doing so

We must LooVe more, try harder

so my days are going by

as I do my best to live a happy life

Grateful for so many things

Thankful for the song in my heart

And it feels compelled to sing

May it echo in my words

May it resound in my poetry

May my days continue

For many more years to come

And all the joys it shall bring

Do what you must today

Today..now...is the only time

you can truly do anything

Don't wait for what tomorrow may bring

As many go in their sleep

And will not awaken to see tomorrow

What do you achieve in waiting

It's the holidays I'm vibing

Tis the season to be Jolly

It's a Time of being in LooVe

The only way we should be falling

So Merry Christmas to you

And the very best of tidings

BLoG: We LooVe to Design

I LooVe (pronounced: LuV) to design. Especially unique and creative pieces for clients. This one I created for a Tshirt company. It's great when a client gives you full creative power to go out of the box or in this case out on a limb. Even though most times, we are required to design to specs. Why? Because most corporate companies have a brand or guidelines they must adhere to. But when you come in at the ground level so to speak or at the beginning of the company process then you have a rare opportunity to set off a chain of events that leads to the implementing of a brand.

As a Designer, I have had the honor of designing many logos for many companies just starting off, this just happens to be one of the more creative logos I have designed. For the most part, most of them have been logos made to spec. What that means is they are made to specifications. These specs are usually determined by the colors utilized, followed by the number of colors utilized. There are certainly design principles to be followed. Keep in mind most logos use a 2 color design, but no more than 4 usually at their most complex. Most logos are designed as a vector file, meaning the dimensions of the logo can be expanded without pixelation or deterioration of the edges. Most logos are printed in a variation of sizes from small to wall size and beyond so having a flawless vector design is monumental in the grand scheme of things and should be implemented into the design process of your logo.

I could go on and on...and I'm certainly taking a very vague approach at the explanation of designing a logo, but the point I'm trying to get across is how much I LooVe bringing ideas to life. And in this case it was a full blown gorilla flying off the page. I have been specializing in vector graphics for many years. It has taken some practice to get to this level of design, but we LooVe what we do!

And we intend it to show in our efforts and results. Let us know how we can be of service. Perhaps 2024 is your year to need one?
