You Are Always Being Guided

LV Fashion Inspo Chapter Eight (Look: Daydreams in the Light of Night).

---

I have always been a dreamer… even if it’s with a pinch 🤏🏼 of naivety on the side.🤓

During this chapter of life, I had big ideas 💡 & the continued theme throughout it all was RESISTANCE.  Even so, a part of me deep within knew that I was being guided… I just wasn’t sure to where.  I had fears that the new direction wouldn’t match the attachments & expectations I had created in my mind.😧🧠

It was always this “thing” that would guide me to that “person” & then the next “place” that would lead me to exactly where I needed to be.  The dots connected up until the conception of SoulRise Tribe.  Of course, I often didn’t see that during the process & was quite frustrated at times.😵‍💫😆

In hindsight, the amount of growth & learning acquired along the way was invaluable!💯

When we work alongside powers 🙏🏼 much greater than our human minds can logistically comprehend, it deeply supports our pursuits & peace of mind to trust the process of it all.👣✨

May we continue to…

👉🏼SEEK,

👉🏼LISTEN,

👉🏼& ACT UPON…

While knowing we are being guided & supported for our highest good.🙌🏼❤️

Hold tight to faith along the way, fam!  We soo got this!🌎🌍🌏🌟💫✨

I love you,

Alex 🌞

Influenced by what & whom?

LV Fashion Inspo Chapter Seven (Look: Evening Frost in Santa Monica).

---

During many modeling experiences & overall just being a woman in our society, there have been countless times where outside influences have given the impression that I needed to change something about myself.

As though I needed to reach & grasp onto what would make me “enough”, alter a “flaw”/undesirable trait, or adjust my values to “fit in”.

How many times a day do we consume influential messages while consciously & unconsciously taking note of where, what, & how we lack?

When we choose not to ride society’s rickety rollercoaster 🎢 of influential 👍🏼s and 👎🏼s, especially at the expense of ignoring our unchangeable existential truth, we are liberated to be free & shine limitlessly from the invaluable space of WHO WE TRULY ARE.🌎🌍🌏✨

The ego will always point out a missing piece 🧩 that’s promised to “complete” our sense of value. Our higher selves know better.

Let’s strive to be our best & avoid the ego’s luring “stories” that pressure us to mold into something (figuratively & non-figuratively) which are not real.😑📖

May we act on influence guided by our inner truth knowing we are always INVALUABLE.💯

I love you,

Alex 🌞

A MESSAGE FOR YOU.

Keep going, fam.

👇🏼Please read…👉🏼 there is definitely a lot of noise, negativity, fear, anxiety, & hopelessness in our shared world… a lot of battles being fought in our personal lives… a lot of experiencing others go through similar battles.  This is your reminder to pause, take a breath, & KEEP GOING.🤝❤️

Be patient with yourself; hold tight to faith and trust everything will be okay — because IT WILL.  Give yourself endless amount of hugs, love, grace, compassion, & SUPPORT.  Please read this again.👍🏼

I am sending you those same loving & lifting vibrations… absorb them & pass them along.  TOGETHER, we got this.🙏🏼✨

P.S. I want to highlight a little reality here… hair that hasn’t been washed for days (as in a week 😬), an old beat up zip hoodie that I’ve had for many years & worn/filmed countless times 😌, & a breakout with unhealed bruises from an IPL…😚

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 don’t equate to setting any sort of standard for being HUMAN.❤️💯

Love you, fam!

A cute 🥰 love story + some important notes 📝👇🏼:

How we met?  Sean was older than me, so I didn’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.🤣❤️

Years had gone without thinking, seeing, or being aware of anything about Sean.  Upon graduating high school 😅🏫 & 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 📺.  He then walked over to me to say “hello”.  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 ✍🏼 it down, he said, “I’m good at memorizing numbers” & that he had it stored in his brain 🧠…😂🤔

He called me for this volleyball 🏐 game & it didn’t pan out (on my end 😬).  He then asked to go on a date with a group of his friends.  I said “yes” & our first date was scheduled for June 24th, 2006 (2006?!?!?!🤯)…

We then hung out on the 25th, 26th, 27th, & so on….  About a week or so of consecutive dates, we sat in my parent’s basement & said, “hey, I know in my heart we’re meant to be together… as in forever ♾️ together… let’s get married…”😳😳❤️❤️🥹🥹

Sean quit his job in D.C. & I canceled NYC.  Before we knew it, we were on the books 📚 to be married on December 27th, 2006.😯

Bumping into one another at the exact same time & same place was 💯% written in stars ✨… the dots connected & our journey began.🥲🙏🏼

Important notes 📝: As this is, of course, a beautiful story & celebration of love… I feel it’s important to note & remember that relationships take WORK.  I wouldn’t ever want to set a tone that this beautiful picture hasn’t included bumps & hurdles along the way.  We both have & continue to grow individually & collectively.🤝👫

Here are, what I believe to be, some key 🔑 components to feeding & nurturing love…

❤️A solid FRIENDSHIP.  Someone who you, in 10-20-30-40-50 years, will continue to enjoy one another’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 superficialities… it grows into a space of unconditional & eternal oneness (so-to-speak).🤲🏼♾️

❤️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.👊🏼💥

❤️Like a tree 🌳, allow one another’s branches to grow uniquely & individually so that each partner may grow & evolve into their own person… pursuing their interests, hobbies, dreams, & so on…, yet your roots intertwine, grow, & deepen together as a solid unit.🫶🏼💯

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.🛤️💫

I love ya, fam!

Blessings in Lessons Part Two.

PART TWO, fam!  I’m 💯% coming in strong on this one because, as I have said before & will never stop declaring from the world’s rooftops, YOU… yes YOU, ARE INVALUABLE!🫵🏼❤️

Simply because…

your heart beats,

& your spirit breathes.🙏🏼💫

You are like a ray from the sun.  As am I.  And there isn’t a point where you stop & I begin - we are ALL ONE.✨🌎🌍🌏✨

And I’ll tell ya this (again), nothing in this life can add or subtract from your eternal & Divine existential TRUTH.🤝❤️♾️

I love ya, fam!

“Imposter syndrome” is something a lot of us relate to in different ways… & 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 didn’t pay for.🥴🥰

Regardless of whether we feel worthy to receive, do, experience, etc…, the TRUTH at heart remains the same. (Part two hits this home 🏡 & I can’t wait for you to receive it.)

NOTHING in this life alters the unalterable - which is YOUR existence in itself.🌎🌍🌏

Your value? Infinite ♾️.

Your worthiness? Infinite ♾️.

Your purpose? Infinite ♾️.

Life always shifts and changes — our truth, however, does not.🙏🏼💯

I love ya, fam!

Redirection via Rejection.

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

Cue the intense music 🎼! Redirection via rejection…🥲🙌🏼

This is huge in how we choose to perceive our life’s journey… I’m a big believer that, when we seek guidance, we 💯% receive it!

It’s so easy to build up an image in our minds with a narrative that this image is the one & only pathway forward… yet, it’s a narrow view.😑

Higher powers will widen that view & show us there is so much more that’s even better than what we envisioned!🙏🏼🌌

Does it come with blessings in lessons?  Absolutely!☑️ Are we going to stretch through discomfort? A big YUP.☑️

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 mind’s box 📦 of comfort & ideals.

Seek guidance, trust your path, & watch the magic unfold, fam!👣🌟💫✨

I love ya, fam!
