When you decide that taking a chance is something you owe yourself....
there is a cost.

When you decide that you will live your life courageously..
there is a cost.

When you decide that NOT being brave is more detrimental to your life than being brave...
there is a cost.

The cost for deciding to live authentically...
is others acceptance of you and the way you live.

Because when you decide to take the first step in a journey that not everyone is willing to accept...you will alienate people.

You will hear them talk. 
you will hear them criticize.
you will hear the fear

Because truth is often a mirror..
and they are not ready.

But you...
you will radiate
a light that will make others question their intentions.

You will shed fear and self doubt....and  gain layers and layers of uncharted territory inside your mind.

You will start to create a space for yourself that is safe.

you will realize that....

Everything you once thought about yourself....will have to be reexamined.
Torn down
and
Reconstructed.

This is the cost.

This is the wager.

This is the spot where you decide
who
you
are.

It is in these moments that you create your future.
You decide who will shape your thoughts.
Them?
or
you?

you decide what is truth...
you decide what is real...
you decide which path to walk...

Will you let them shame you for being brave
or 
will you seep self love?

You decide.

When you think about the cost...
Remember your worth.

then
fight,
fight with everything you have to reconstruct the tiny pieces of yourself that have cracked 
in the fight for your self worth.

Fight for the chance to breathe fire and fully inhabit your life. 

Fight for the chance to be truly happy.

Pay whatever the cost is....
Do whatever it take.

Decide your OWN worth.

I try and shoot creatively for me a couple times a month.

When I envision a session in my head...it is usually a story line of some sorts.
It usually has to do with something that has affected me or something that I have gone thru.
Alot of times its not boudoir. Its more of an artistic, fine art session.
Less sex appeal...more story. 
 
This session was inspired by changes that we all go thru in life.
It is inspired by the fact that in life...we evolve.

If we are really living and really paying attention...we will change. 
We will transform from one thing to another...
Sometimes it is a quick painless change...
Other times-
mucky
dirty
uncomfortable
messy
and hard

We have to crumble to build..... 
That is the beauty of life.

In those moments...
we have choices.

We can choose to stay there and sink in it...
OR
We rise and come clean.

We have to choose to shed and change...
We have to choose to see the light inside of ourselves.
We have to relish in the mud and growth.

Because-

Without the pain...there is no pleasure.
Without the hurt..there is no healing.
Without the mess...there is no truth.
Without the old..there is no new. 

Make a choice.
​Rise.

I love the fact that alot of my clients come from referrals!
Because of that and because I love helping to inspire women to live more fully in their lives...
I want to grow this movement!!
So I started a referral program this month!
I mean...what could be better than that?

Here is how it works:

1. You get an amazing session at Blush and LOVE your experience!

2. You tell all your amazing friends about how it made you feel, how it changed you, how you love yourself more honestly.

3. Your amazing friend books a session.

4. YOU get $100 towards a new session  OR products from previous session.

5. SHE gets $100 credit towards products!

I mean really......so. good. 

Spread the word.......and make 'em Blush.
