went to the Botanical Gardens in D.C. a few weeks

went to the Botanical Gardens in D.C. a few weeks ago and it was beautiful but so hot outside. My sisters Tiffany and Elizabeth had a birthday and wanted to celebrate in D.C. for the weekend and this was one of the stops. Surprisingly I didn’t get any photos with them but I had a lot of fun with all my sister and their dates and would love to go back…definitely worth a visit! Happy birthday you two ♥️🎂🎉

I've been getting back to reading more frequently.

I've been getting back to reading more frequently. Usually these days I find myself listening to more books on @audible then actually reading, but this book right here was so amazing I had to get the physical copy to read it again. I've been enjoying re-reading chapters before bed and picked up the devotional that goes along with it too. I think there are only 2 or 3 other books I have been so inspired by that I have them on audio and the physical copy...

I've been really focused on growth and purpose lately. Maybe because at the end of the year, I'll be 30...maybe it's because I know what kind of life I'm trying to create. This book by @marshawnevans came into my life at the right time when so much craziness kept hitting me from left and right in the past year. If you feel like you're on a journey, this book will change your life and make you #believebigger

Let me know if you check it out, I'd love to talk about it with you.

Today was an amazing day at the first annual BLCK Street Conference and I'm so excited that I got to experience the conference firsthand. So many gems were dropped, so many great people presented and amazing connections were made. I'm so excited about next year's conference. I came, I saw, I'm tired 🥳😴 #introvertproblems

Sundays are the best days for rest days because they are naturally slow. Sundays have always been one of my favorite days of the week because you're able to prep for the upcoming week and go at your own pace.

Take a break today.

I went on a solo artist date to the @vmfamuseum and I'm excited that I actually went and didn't wait for anyone to go with me otherwise I wouldn't have went at all. One of the cool things about going is I haven't been to the VMFA since before the pandemic and so much has changed. I definitely recommend going with a friend and especially by yourself if you haven't been in a while.

Artist dates are meant to speak creativity when you're feeling in a rut or need a burst of creativity. I'm excited to go on more.

Getting started and coming up with ideas can be ha

Getting started and coming up with ideas can be hard sometimes. When designing and trying to come up with ideas, I find that it helps me to throw on some music, preferably 90's R&B😏 and just draw whatever comes to mind. Whether good or bad I just let the ideas hit the page. Another trick I have found is not to edit yourself in this stage but to just design until you fill the page.

What tips do you have for getting started?

Showing up for yourself can be really hard because

Showing up for yourself can be really hard because sometimes you are the easiest person to say no to. I really love this picture because not only am I laughing really hard but I look happy and content in this moment...and I'm definitely laughing really hard in this photo 😂.

Sometimes you have to feel awkward and uncomfortable to get the best shots and I think that can be exactly how life is sometimes. I'm usually the photographer and very comfortable behind the lens but if there is something that I have learned in the last year, sometimes you have to do more than just take the shot.

Sometimes you have to get uncomfortable and...sometimes you have to take a chance and see what happens. And when you get uncomfortable, you get really cool shots like this to look back on and smile 😉

In the month of August, I'm trying a lot of different things and pushing myself to elevate. So far it's been kind of cool but the hard part is making sure that I am staying consistent in putting myself out there. So far in the first three days of my internal adventure I've seen some of the old excuses try to creep up and imposter syndrome is forever real. But, we're going to keep pushing. And if you're feeling like you need some motivation to keep pushing too, hopefully, this can be a sign for you to keep going.

"Stay you...Be you...Be different...What works for somebody else isn't going to work for you."

"Ask for healing, clarity, peace, wisdom, and guidance. Ask for abundance, creativity, light, and love. Don't be timid in your prayers or your request. Be bold. Be positive. Be grateful as everything you're asking for is already making its way to you."

A piece of my vision board that has really stuck out lately. Ask for what you want. Do the work. Growth is inevitable.

As a creative I struggle with the constant need to be creating something. I’m entering a season in life where I want to intentionally create the things that excite me on a daily basis. What are you creating today?

We made it to July which means I usually go through and check in with myself and my goals that I set at the beginning of the year. I also take the time to be grateful to where I have come in the past few months and check in with myself as well.

Some goals have changed…some were accomplished…and others still have work to be done.

But I know I’m excited to see where I am by the end of the year

How are your goals looking for the rest of 2022? And most importantly, how are you? #growth #goalsetting #intention #creator #creatormindset #creative

The creative process is hard sometimes especially

The creative process is hard sometimes especially when you’re trying to bring a new idea to fruition. Especially when you have 10 million things on your mind at all times. And most of the time you can’t force it, you just have to let it flow and just start. Most of my best designs start from just sitting down at the bench with a cup of coffee, tea, or a glass of wine, throw on a vibes playlist, and start testing out new ideas while ignoring the countless other things on my mind. What do you do when you need to block it out and get creative?

I was scrolling through my shared photo albums and

I was scrolling through my shared photo albums and got an Apple Highlight that made me stop and reflect. 4 years ago today, I got this Lotus flower tattoo with the initials #fchw (faith, consistency, and hard work) tattooed on my arm in New Orleans. (I was a huge @SpokenReasons fan on Youtube 😌and I remember my mom freaking out that I got a tattoo 😂) but I really appreciated the mindset behind the abbreviation.

So much has changed since 2018. Having this tattoo on my arm the past 4 years I kind of forget it's there until someone sees it and asks me about it or I take off my watch. It's crazy to me to think that when I got this tattoo how much it would help me to appreciate having the daily reminder that when life gets crazy to keep the faith, be consistent, and always work hard for what you want.

I've outgrown, grown apart, and have grown closer to so many people. Some expected and others not so much. 4 years has gone by in the blink of an eye and I've grown so much as a person but still have so many lessons to learn.

The lotus flower is symbolic to me becasue even when its roots are in the dirtiest waters, the Lotus produces the most beautiful flower.

My word for 2022 is Growth. And I have grown in so many ways in the past 4 years and in life...I can't wait to see what happens next and see what I grow into.

When its all said and done...What kind of lotus flower will you have to show the world?

I can’t believe it’s already February. We literally just watched the ball drop. Here’s a random photo dump of things that sparked something for me in January. What inspired and brought you joy in January?

I design jewelry that I make myself and this year I decided to blog about it. I've been designing jewelry since I was younger while continuing to elevate and grow in my craft as time went on. For even closer looks into what I make follow me at @LoveTranece. Follow my journey @TranecebyDesign for glimpses into my daily design life. What's something creative that you do and enjoy?
