Family Ties
I wake up every morning trying to catch my thoughts; ever wanted to remember a dream but couldn’t? Waking up and keeping a vibrational frequency aligned to my desires can feel like remembering a dream. My last thoughts always seem to be the first ones I wake up to. As usual, for me, it's work-related. My schedule is packed, it’s how I like it. Every day I’m working on a better version of myself. Balancing self-love and being selfless.

Truth of Being A Stay at Home Mom....on a Farm
Though it is the last thought on a pregnant woman's mind, you have to think about it some time. Am I going to stay at home with the baby when he/she is born, or will I go back to work when he/she is born.

The Life of A Young Mom
In the life as a 23 year old young mom is life changing. In a blink of an eye, everything in my life has changed from being a kid, to a teenager, and then becoming a mother. The way I would see other moms with their kids, I thought to myself life with kids will be easy. Until I had my daughter Evelyn and it was always ups and downs, but became my greatest love of all.

The one I'm today.
Today I'm a collection of events that drive me today to be living in London, UK. It was a simple idea of getting out of my county (Venezuela) and starting all over again in a different place and with different people and culture. The one I'm today is way different from the one I was 4 years ago. That guy living literally in a bubble, or better say, no life at all.

THE LOST GENERATION OF SOUTH SUDAN WANDERING AROUND THE WORLD: THE IMPORTANCE OF RESILENCE IN THEIR PLIGHTS AND HOW THE WORLD CAN LEARN FROM IT.
A long time ago around 1800s a prophet of Nuer named Ngundeng Bong said or predicted that, "Bec ni dor i wic car mi bi dap e nak bang ni." loosely translates, "The great pain is that there will be a black haired generation of South Sudan that will breed in vain." Before Sudan independence the former generation of South Sudan used to dyed their hair white and after independence that changed completely and now the new generation leave their hair black.

The Neverending Battle
Little eyes slowly opening to whispers from all around, curled between warm and cosy bodies, squinting at panic struck faces, whispering franticly. Stretching between 6 little bodies with huge paws and their mom, don’t know what the turmoil is all about, laying here warm and save between my friends.

Metaphysical Maternal Lineage
Our mothers are our life givers, generators, organizers and dispensers. As babies, we go to our mothers because they are our nurturers, our story tellers. Not to say that our fathers are not important, they are our providers, but in a world where patriarchy exists and women are looked down upon, Shelby is creating and building a positive connotation about the power of a woman and feminine energy. Once you tune into your femininity, it’ll give you an even greater sense of who you are and your roots of where you come from. There’s great power in it.

Life on the inside
I don’t even know where to begin, or maybe I do and that’s just it. I need to start at the beginning, which beginning? My childhood? My teenage years? The struggles of coming from a broken home and a family who lacks the ability to provide unconditional love and support. The time where becoming the black sheep of the family not only means being the black sheep but yet somehow always feeling like I am a kid begging for approval. There are so many places to start and in so many ways have now shaped me int the person I am today and I am becoming. I am here to share with you my story, my experience, and my missions. So let’s get started....

Motherhood
This picture was 13 years ago!!!! THIRTEEN!!!!! Where did that go! I know we all ask outselves where did the time go? How did we get here? I’ll tell you, it all started long ago with, YOU! it goes back to the first time you kicked your moms belly and pressed your tiny hand against ‘your’ womb. Creating something so unique that it can never be duplicated! You’re fingerprint, Your imprint on the world. There are many others you will make. Remember back when your grandma made bread? that special dish that everyone remembers? The way your papa(grandpa) chats of old horse riding times, or how he only has eyes for grandma! Old fashioned imprints that carry with you and then to your children and so on. A couple of my Family imprint favourites: halushki and banana bread, my family loves to cook!( can’t wait to launch the ‘cooking edition’)
