Best. Day. Of. The. Year. Happy International Women's Day to all of the queens in my life. I am so thankful for our friendships. I am so thankful for your love. I am so thankful for your energy. There are so many wonderful women who are essential to my essence who are not in these photos as well, know that you are everything to me too. Since the last IWD, I know that I have learned invaluable lessons about what it truly means to be a queen. What it means to stand tall and proud in your womanhood. What it means to stand up for every woman, not just those in your circle. We have seen the power that grows when we stand together. I have a new post on #LovingMeLex today that asks us all to do a little self-reflection, per usual, I know. There are a series of questions that I will be asking myself today and I hope that you do too. They are just a small set that I try to ask myself consistently to make sure that I am doing my part in this sisterhood. Stand tall today. Stand proud today. Stand together today. #InternationalWomensDay2018

Saturday 2/24/18 Ahhhh what a way to spend a Saturday. 😊 I slept late today, and stayed in bed for a full 3 hours after! I read, sipped #coffee ☕️, and enjoyed watching the morning come and go. ☀️ After lunch I got in a solid #workout. 🏋🏻‍♀️ I did whatever I felt like, but mostly an upper body lift today. 💪🏻 It’s posted in the comments! Tonight is date night: #ramen and Black Panther!

Photographer Catherine O’Connor

Photography has made an incredible impact on my life. It has given me the opportunity to meet some wonderful people. I've met people from many different countries, different cultures, backgrounds, ethnicities and it has changed my life drastically. It has made me change my perspective on life, it has made me realize that life is beautiful and precious. Most importantly photography has given me a purpose, something I never thought I would have.
