Mother's day - HER WAY

Can we take a moment to talk about Mother’s day and the woes of all “Hallmark holidays”? You love your mother, mothers’, grandmother, aunt, sister, etc. They’re unique, special and if you could, you’d give them any and everything their heart desires. Yet, Mother’s day is right around the corner and “any” and “everything” you come across are completely generic. 


I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love the wonderous experience of travel, and the nostalgia a beautiful image from that moment in time quickly evokes long after we’ve settled back into real life. Maybe that special mother in your life is from Puerto Rico and hasn’t been able to visit in ages. She dreams of being back en la isla, overlooking at the mountains of Caguas and the glorious foliage found within El Yunque. This is the reason why I created a collection of beautiful, quality, custom-made calendars, gratitude cards, framed prints and gift sets; all of which are available on my etsy shop here. They’re super cute and such a unique gift that will last well beyond a box of chocolates, a massage or dinner! Check them out below and be sure to visit my etsy shop for details and customization options.
 

GRATITUDE

The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of non-stop work! Building a brand through this medium (Photography & Art) is really a feat. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’ve always loved aesthetics, decor, ambiance and beauty in general. I just love to create.

My Marilyn said to me just yesterday, that I create “Emotional Landscapes” through my photography, which I thought was brilliant. It’s so easy to become fixated on the outcome, on bringing your dreams and visions to fruition. Researching. Editing. Revamping. Adjusting. It’s a lot. I am a STRONG believer in the practice of daily gratitude & I’ve been sensing a gentle “nudge” inside of me, to be still, enjoy the process and thank God for my gift — regardless of where it takes me. 

So, recently, this “nudge” came in the form of a reminder when I received a request from the good people on the board of the NYC Chapter of the Oncology Nursing Society at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center to donate my work to be auctioned at their 30th Annual Gala on April 30, 2015. These wonderful people work at institutions across New York City and provide impeccable care to patients and caregivers diagnosed with cancer everyday. Needless to say, I jumped at the opportunity and I’m so grateful. I hope they love it!
