A MESSAGE FOR YOU.

Keep going, fam.


๐Ÿ‘‡๐ŸผPlease readโ€ฆ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ there is definitely a lot of noise, negativity, fear, anxiety, & hopelessness in our shared worldโ€ฆ a lot of battles being fought in our personal livesโ€ฆ a lot of experiencing others go through similar battles.  This is your reminder to pause, take a breath, & KEEP GOING.๐Ÿคโค๏ธ

Be patient with yourself; hold tight to faith and trust everything will be okay โ€” because IT WILL.  Give yourself endless amount of hugs, love, grace, compassion, & SUPPORT.  Please read this again.๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

I am sending you those same loving & lifting vibrationsโ€ฆ absorb them & pass them along.  TOGETHER, we got this.๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผโœจ

P.S. I want to highlight a little reality hereโ€ฆ hair that hasnโ€™t been washed for days (as in a week ๐Ÿ˜ฌ), an old beat up zip hoodie that Iโ€™ve had for many years & worn/filmed countless times ๐Ÿ˜Œ, & a breakout with unhealed bruises from an IPLโ€ฆ๐Ÿ˜š

THIS is more along the lines of REALITY in comparison to my LV Fashion Inspo posts.  Model imagery & the creative aspects of a photoshoot are a lot of fun, yet they donโ€™t equate to setting any sort of standard for being HUMAN.โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’ฏ

Love you, fam!

Written in the Stars.

LV Fashion Inspo Chapter Six (Look: Sparkly Skies & Salty Waters).


A cute ๐Ÿฅฐ love story + some important notes ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ:

How we met?  Sean was older than me, so I didnโ€™t know him well.  At the time, I knew he went to school with my brother & worked at a local gym.  I saw him there very rarely and, if we spoke, it was always about my brother.๐Ÿคฃโค๏ธ

Years had gone without thinking, seeing, or being aware of anything about Sean.  Upon graduating high school ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿซ & getting ready to leave to NYC, I was at this same gym working out.  Sean was there playing basketball with friends & came out to check the score of a game on the TV ๐Ÿ“บ.  He then walked over to me to say โ€œhelloโ€.  He mentioned that he was living in D.C., working for a senator, & was only in town for a few weeks.  I shared I was leaving in a few weeks to NYC.  He invited me to play volleyball, so I gave him my number &, without writing โœ๐Ÿผ it down, he said, โ€œIโ€™m good at memorizing numbersโ€ & that he had it stored in his brain ๐Ÿง โ€ฆ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿค”

He called me for this volleyball ๐Ÿ game & it didnโ€™t pan out (on my end ๐Ÿ˜ฌ).  He then asked to go on a date with a group of his friends.  I said โ€œyesโ€ & our first date was scheduled for June 24th, 2006 (2006?!?!?!๐Ÿคฏ)โ€ฆ

We then hung out on the 25th, 26th, 27th, & so onโ€ฆ.  About a week or so of consecutive dates, we sat in my parentโ€™s basement & said, โ€œhey, I know in my heart weโ€™re meant to be togetherโ€ฆ as in forever โ™พ๏ธ togetherโ€ฆ letโ€™s get marriedโ€ฆโ€๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณโค๏ธโค๏ธ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿฅน

Sean quit his job in D.C. & I canceled NYC.  Before we knew it, we were on the books ๐Ÿ“š to be married on December 27th, 2006.๐Ÿ˜ฏ

Bumping into one another at the exact same time & same place was ๐Ÿ’ฏ% written in stars โœจโ€ฆ the dots connected & our journey began.๐Ÿฅฒ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

Important notes ๐Ÿ“: As this is, of course, a beautiful story & celebration of loveโ€ฆ I feel itโ€™s important to note & remember that relationships take WORK.  I wouldnโ€™t ever want to set a tone that this beautiful picture hasnโ€™t included bumps & hurdles along the way.  We both have & continue to grow individually & collectively.๐Ÿค๐Ÿ‘ซ

Here are, what I believe to be, some key ๐Ÿ”‘ components to feeding & nurturing loveโ€ฆ

โค๏ธA solid FRIENDSHIP.  Someone who you, in 10-20-30-40-50 years, will continue to enjoy one anotherโ€™s company, laugh your heads off, & share likeminded values.  Physical chemistry, of course, is important but love deepens in a part of the heart & soul that goes limitlessly further than superficialitiesโ€ฆ it grows into a space of unconditional & eternal oneness (so-to-speak).๐Ÿคฒ๐Ÿผโ™พ๏ธ

โค๏ธHave trust, faith, & commitment to knowing & believing you can & will work through whatever life hands ya.  As long as the team stays united, there may be a few scratches & cracks, but overall you will be unbreakable.๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ’ฅ

โค๏ธLike a tree ๐ŸŒณ, allow one anotherโ€™s branches to grow uniquely & individually so that each partner may grow & evolve into their own personโ€ฆ pursuing their interests, hobbies, dreams, & so onโ€ฆ, yet your roots intertwine, grow, & deepen together as a solid unit.๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ’ฏ

I hope this gives inspiration & hope for great love, yet also keeps it real & informative for knowing that same love will be perfectly imperfect & built to experience longevity.๐Ÿ›ค๏ธ๐Ÿ’ซ

I love ya, fam!

Alex ๐ŸŒž

Blessings in Lessons Part Two.

LV Fashion Inspo Chapter Five (Look: Chill Nights Under Starry Lights).


PART TWO, fam!  Iโ€™m ๐Ÿ’ฏ% coming in strong on this one because, as I have said before & will never stop declaring from the worldโ€™s rooftops, YOUโ€ฆ yes YOU, ARE INVALUABLE!๐Ÿซต๐Ÿผโค๏ธ

Simply becauseโ€ฆ

your heart beats,

& your spirit breathes.๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ’ซ

You are like a ray from the sun.  As am I.  And there isnโ€™t a point where you stop & I begin - we are ALL ONE.โœจ๐ŸŒŽ๐ŸŒ๐ŸŒโœจ

And Iโ€™ll tell ya this (again), nothing in this life can add or subtract from your eternal & Divine existential TRUTH.๐Ÿคโค๏ธโ™พ๏ธ

I love ya, fam!

Blessings in Lessons Part One.

LV Fashion Inspo Chapter Four (Look: A Winter Solstice Glow).

โ€œImposter syndromeโ€ is something a lot of us relate to in different waysโ€ฆ & definitely has been a personal experience in more than just modeling jobs.  Even when sitting in a fancy hotel before a job, there were times I felt unworthy to be in a nice room that I didnโ€™t pay for.๐Ÿฅด๐Ÿฅฐ

Regardless of whether we feel worthy to receive, do, experience, etcโ€ฆ, the TRUTH at heart remains the same. (Part two hits this home ๐Ÿก & I canโ€™t wait for you to receive it.)

NOTHING in this life alters the unalterable - which is YOUR existence in itself.๐ŸŒŽ๐ŸŒ๐ŸŒ

Your value? Infinite โ™พ๏ธ.

Your worthiness? Infinite โ™พ๏ธ.

Your purpose? Infinite โ™พ๏ธ.

Life always shifts and changes โ€” our truth, however, does not.๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ’ฏ

I love ya, fam!

Redirection via Rejection.

LV Fashion Inspo Chapter Three (Look: Gazing into Emerald Waters).


Cue the intense music ๐ŸŽผ! Redirection via rejectionโ€ฆ๐Ÿฅฒ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

This is huge in how we choose to perceive our lifeโ€™s journeyโ€ฆ Iโ€™m a big believer that, when we seek guidance, we ๐Ÿ’ฏ% receive it!

Itโ€™s so easy to build up an image in our minds with a narrative that this image is the one & only pathway forwardโ€ฆ yet, itโ€™s a narrow view.๐Ÿ˜‘

Higher powers will widen that view & show us there is so much more thatโ€™s even better than what we envisioned!๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ๐ŸŒŒ

Does it come with blessings in lessons?  Absolutely!โ˜‘๏ธ Are we going to stretch through discomfort? A big YUP.โ˜‘๏ธ

But life is so much more wonderful when we get to see it through the lens of an endlessly wide perspective, coupled with unlimited possibilities that are too big to fit in our mindโ€™s box ๐Ÿ“ฆ of comfort & ideals.

Seek guidance, trust your path, & watch the magic unfold, fam!๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ’ซโœจ

I love ya, fam!

Embrace embarrassment.

LV Fashion Inspo Chapter One (Look: January Magic in SoCal).


May this moment, here & now, be the one to wake us from the illusion of embarrassmentโ€ฆ๐ŸŒซ๏ธโœจ

May we realize, on the other side, that there is nothing to fear but fear itselfโ€ฆ๐Ÿ‘ˆ๐Ÿผ

May today be the day we do something to โ€œembrace embarrassmentโ€ & grow through the discomfort while knowing we are ALWAYS okay.๐Ÿค๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ’ซ
