"Pearls & Silk" When 2 Becomes ... Timeless!

Happy Birthday to "Muah"

February seems to be that romantic time of the year where timeless beauty rejuvenates and where mind and body cater to the soul and bring out the luxuries of the heart...

As you may or may not have known, yesterday February 16th was a special day, as I celebrated another year of timelessness! For such mercy and honor I could only humble myself and be thankful that God has preserved the twenty sum years of my life and has allowed me to stand strong...

Thank you Lord!

Getting Soulful: WEP's Founder in the mix ....

It's always fun to sit down and liaise with different vendors in the city for different projects! I find myself doing a lot of that these days and I'm always happy when I stumble upon new faces! Ottawa is a small city after all and you soon realize at times how quick you've already met certain people but just failed to know what they actually did behind the scenes...

Last weekend, I had the great pleasure to sit down with XPhotography, a rising couple of photographers in the city for a bit of promo! They are compiling a list of vendors for a series on their blog and I seem to have been their third charm! Meaning the third vendor they got a chance to mingle with! It's always humbling to be approached to partake in these kind of activities so I truly felt honoured! Meeting up with Bridget and Rashaad was truly bliss! They’re fun couple to experience and are truly free-spirited! I Love it when I see a married couple working together as ONE and sharing their visions as ONE!! Can't emphasize on how important that is!

We met up early Saturday morning for the outdoor shoot which I thought was pretty cool seeing I had never done a photo shoot outside before [not to mention in winter]! We visited couple sites to shoot and while on our way to destination they conducted a mini interview; [those are always fun right?? When you totally don't expect the questions ha!] I wasn't sure what to say, I won't lie I was a bit nervous but it didn't bite, I was at ease ;)! The questions were straight- forward and much open for discussion so it felt more like a natural conversation!

Feel free to check out the spread on their blog and must importantly their work and peep what I had to say....

Fast Life...

Isn't it amazing how fast time goes by? Makes you wonder how much we make use of your time...

We're already in February or should I even pause and say March? Sounds silly but how tempting right? February always encloses with a short kiss goodbye “muah bizou”... [talk about a hit and run]…'Tis the season of lovers after all right? Hmm so "they say" ha! But either way, WEP is glad to still be standing! This month has been quite innovating and I’m glad to be around and enjoy every bit of it ;)...

I know it's been awhile since our last chatter! These past few months have been non-stop and the pile just keeps on building up! I'm on cloud nine right now, the number is totally indefinite! “Doing and Being”! Things are picking up! Exciting new projects (yes), new challenges (yes), new partnerships (yes) but the best part of it all is the learning process!!!! I thank God for the solid dose of creativity but also for giving me the courage to keep holding on without driving myself against the wall...believe me the "going" can get tough and overwhelming when your constantly going non-stop but the "reminders" of why I do what I do are what keep me standing....

I mean, here we were talking New Years resolution and now were talking Black History Month, Valentines day and even planning away for Fall endeavours!!! No wonder everyone is running around... But how much running can one do is a question that often comes to mind?

One of my mentors once told me:"It's easier to get lost in opportunities than it is when the doors are closed" ... hmmm tough one to swallow??? But I'm curious to know as I leave you with these questions...

How do you manage your time or live beyond the "fast life"? Or better yet is time managing you?
