On the Surface

I am a licensed artist, graphic designer and a mother of four. I live for my Mac, I love photography, Austen, vampires and vintage. This is where I post anything and everything that inspires me. My own photography and design is mixed in with tidbits I find here and there.

Quote of the Day

I have been thinking a lot about my life purpose and what brings me true joy. Do you know that the best way to gauge that you are on the right path is via your feelings? If you feel joy when you're doing it and it doesn't feel like work you are doing what you are meant to be doing. Even in design you can find some projects and some clients just don't have that same energy. It's ok to walk away from people and situations that don't match your vibe. Listen to your gut. It knows where you have to go!

Just pulled this #cardoftheday and I think it speaks to many of you right now. So many of us are holding on to our pasts. So afraid of our futures. The time had come to release the past - release it so you can grow from it and finally heal! Release any situation in your life right now that is holding you back. Challenges help us grow spiritually, we get stronger and wiser but only if we let the negative situations go and allow ourselves to heal. 💗🙏🏼 #angelcards #angeltarot #lawofattraction #loa #doreenvirtue #archangelpowertarot @fashionillustrationtribe

Today was a #perfect #November day. #autumn #fall #photofyapp @photofyapp

I am totally in love with my life, Despite circumstances around me. I have to learn to shield myself from the negativity of others so that I don't forget this feeling! Have to train my my mind better; make myself impenetrable. There is so much I want to accomplish that only I can accomplish be releasing what no longer serves me. #letgoandletgod #loa #lawofattraction #spirituality #leaves #beautiful #yellow #gingko #photofyapp @photofyapp
