Where Reality and Inspiration Meet

Destination Series: Phoenix Peach

img_0394Tis the holiday season… fa la la la! To kick-start the holiday season, I went to Phoenix, AZ for Thanksgiving. In Phoenix, I had a great time catching up with family and being in warm weather. Arizona is a common destination for me, but this trip was different. For the first time, I was able to explore. Typically, when I go to Arizona it is school related and I am on a tight schedule.

Prior to even going to Phoenix, the original plan was to be in Ubud, Bali. However, my plans took a slight detour. I pushed back my Bali plans until March 2017. I figured what better way to bring in my birthday then in Bali? That said, I’m glad I didn’t miss the opportunity to catch up with family, I truly enjoyed my time in Phoenix.

While in Phoenix, I was able to find some of the cultural/artistic gems of Phoenix. Here are a few of the shots I captured.

If your considering visiting Arizona, the winter time is the perfect time to go. Arizona has such rich cultural history that is often overlooked. If you want more details about the places I visited in Phoenix, leave a comment below.

Until next time…

Thanksgiving 2015

The holiday season is always my favorite, I promise you it’s not because of the food…alright maybe the food has a little to do with it but, ultimately it is the time I get to spend with friends and family. Also for me, the holidays symbolize the closing of the year, and gives me the chance to reflect on things I need to improve on in the New Year. For this year’s Thanksgiving my family came together to celebrate life. Let me tell you…getting 30+ people in one space at one time was a massive undertaking, not to mention that only a small fraction of the family actually came. Being in such great energy and positive spirits yesterday night inspired me to create a list of what I am thankful for.

Here is my thankful list in no particular order:

  1. Everyday I wake up
  2. My parents
  3. My siblings (nieces & nephew)
  4. My relationship
  5. Being loved and loving others
  6. Having a strong support system around me
  7. My family and friends
  8. My courage and strength
  9. Being able to help others
  10. Alone time
  11. A roof over my head
  12. Google
  13. Employment
  14. Traveling
  15. All the blessings that I receive

If you have things that you are thankful for share them below in the comment section.

Until next time…
