Reposting this video as a reminder that if you want to practice making videos, it can be a simple or as complicated as you want it to be.🎬 . Here I was inspired by the French Impressionist painter Claude Monet and his love of painting the same scene at different times of day. . Eager for examples? 🎨The Meule Series (Haystacks) 🎨The Rouen Cathedral Series 🎨The Waterloo Bridge Series . . .

Many moons ago, I got my first nice camera. Initially, I focused on nature and the world around me, taking pictures of everything that caught my eye. 🌿 Shortly after that, I started getting into self-portraits and loved it. To push myself, I worked on a 365 day self-portrait challenge where everyday required me to think of new ideas and concepts. . Skip ahead a few years to some major life changes, and I rarely pulled out my camera. I stopped looking for inspiration and inspiration stopped looking for me. . It took some time, and more life changes, for me to pick up my camera and start again. The photos weren't extraordinary, but they were a start. . This photo is a reminder of a time when I made a mental shift and a priority shift. It was a shift to start remembering myself and giving myself the things I loved-- art and time alone to pursue that art. . There are times when even the things we love seem far away. Sometimes they're far because we put them there. Here's a reminder that it doesn't have to be that way. . Relationships, work, parenthood, school, finances, health, these can all sound like valid reasons for not pursuing the things we love. Don't let them be. As much as possible, do the things that make you happy. Carve out some time. You won't remember how much you're missing it until you actually do it. . What you do doesn't need to be great or even good. Just focus on the doing. Be present in the doing and find your happiness there.🌿🌿🌿 . . What's something you love to do? How often do you make time for it? . . . . . . . . . . #fortlauderdalefl #creativecoach #creativecoaching #sustainablelifestyle #discoverunder1k #artlover #polymath #creativityeveryday #creativitytips #moderatelyhippie #modernhippie #botanicalwomen #urbanjungle

Sometimes I buy the most random books.☺ . Before I saw this book in my local used bookstore, I would've never considered buying a book about rats. Like, who the heck buys a book about rats? It turns out to be an interesting read full of fascinating information and stories.🐀 . The fact that one human can dread the very name of rat and another can dedicate years of their life to research on the subject is part of what makes humans such cool, varied creatures. 🐭 The things that interest you will not be interesting to everyone, and that's okay. . So if there's content you'd like to be creating or subjects you'd like to be talking about, but you're afraid people won't be interested, my advice is to do it anyway. . Your people are out there looking for you and craving to hear you speak in a way that only you can. They might not even know they're interested until they hear you speak about it, much like me and the history of city rats.🐀 . . . . . . #fortlauderdalefl #creativecoach #readersofig #sustainablelifestyle #discoverunder1k #artlover #polymath #creativetip #creativitytips #moderatelyhippie #modernhippie #botanicalwomen #fortlauderdaleblogger #creativityeveryday

How many times have I thought, "I should bring my camera," but left it at home because I started thinking about checking my sd cards and my battery, carrying it around and worrying about it. 🌴 Basically, I talk myself out of it with the excuse that it's too much work. 🌴 How often have I left my camera at home and regretted it? Dozens of times, I assure you. These days, I'm intent on not letting my excuses get in the way of what I want to accomplish. The video I posted yesterday was a result of NOT listening to my excuses. Excuses come like old friends; they make you feel warm and cozy inside-- until you remember: that was that trifling ass bitch who stole your money and talked shit about you to your friends 😑😅 What's a thing you want to do but make up excuses not to? . . .
