Every year, I have a personal tradition, a birthday photoshoot. I don’t throw parties or plan grand events. I celebrate quietly, through captured moments that reflect who I am and where I am in life.

This year, I turned 44. No loud celebrations, just a peaceful afternoon, a white dress, and a bunch of white balloons. I walked through an open field surrounded by tall grass and stillness, with only the sound of nature and the soft rustle of the wind as my background music.



There was something calming about the whole experience. The simplicity of the scene matched exactly how I feel about entering this chapter, clear, calm, and comfortable in my own skin. I wore white not to symbolize perfection, but to reflect clarity and peace. The balloons weren’t just props, they were a subtle symbol of lightness, letting go, and moving forward freely.



I love how this yearly ritual allows me to pause and be present. It's not just about taking nice photos, it's about honoring my growth in a way that feels authentic to me. Looking at these images, I see a woman who has learned to embrace solitude, who finds joy in quiet things, and who’s proud of her journey so far.

Chapter 44 isn’t loud. It’s not about making statements. It’s about stillness, presence, and a quiet kind of strength that comes from within.

This Earth Day, I remember that the most beautiful things are found where the wild things grow—free, untamed, and full of life. It’s in the quiet strength of ancient trees, the gentle persistence of wildflowers breaking through concrete, the rhythmic crashing of waves that never tire. Nature reminds us that true beauty doesn't need to be polished—it simply needs to be protected.

In a world that often values control and perfection, there is something profoundly moving about the wild. It teaches us resilience, balance, and grace. The wilderness doesn't ask for attention, yet it commands awe. It doesn’t seek validation, yet it inspires poetry, art, and purpose.

As we celebrate Earth Day, may we not only admire the world’s natural wonders—but also commit to preserving them. Let us tread gently, live consciously, and give back to the planet that gives us everything. Whether it’s planting a tree, reducing waste, supporting local farms, or simply pausing to appreciate the sunset—we can all play a part in nurturing the Earth.

My blog has always been a space where I advocate for sustainability and mindful living—often told through stories captured in nature. Almost all of my photos are taken outdoors, surrounded by trees, skies, seas, and sunlight—because that’s where I feel most connected to the message I want to share.

It’s been a minute, hasn’t it? After a little break, I’m finally back and more energized than ever to bring you fresh content. Life has been quite a journey over the past few months. I went through one of the most heartbreaking experiences of my life, losing all seven of my beloved dogs to the distemper virus. They were more than just pets—they were family. Their loss was a deep and painful blow that left me grieving and reflecting on life in ways I never expected.

During this challenging time, I took a step back, not just from blogging but from everything, to process, heal, and recharge. As much as it hurt, this break gave me the chance to gather new ideas, gain a fresh perspective, and find strength in unexpected places. Now, I’m ready to come back with renewed energy, a deeper understanding of life’s fragility, and a fresh commitment to sharing stories that matter.

I’m excited to dive back into the world of blogging and reconnect with you all. In the coming posts, I’ll be sharing insights, updates, and personal reflections that I hope will inspire, uplift, and maybe even comfort. Thank you for your patience, your support, and for sticking around. Your presence has meant more to me than I can express. I can’t wait to share what’s next!

As the leaves begin to change and the air turns crisp, Halloween creeps around the corner, inviting us to unleash our creativity through costumes. This year, I decided to channel my inner eco-warrior by dressing up as Poison Ivy, the fierce and fabulous villainess from the DC universe. With her deep connection to nature and unwavering passion for environmental protection, Poison Ivy is the perfect muse for a costume that not only celebrates creativity but also champions sustainability.
