Forever9

Forever9 is transitioning… Please be patient as I update the website. 2025 will be filled with moments in life that I capture through my perspective with my focus being on my creative writing but include my photography. I will share my faith and my perspective in all stages of my journey.

Throughout 2024, I took the opportunity to become more exclusive. I am not meant to photograph the fun times, the annual family pictures, etc. I do absolutely love sports photography & I hope to continue that as a hobby when time allows.

Many people in my life have repeatedly pointed out I am gifted in making people feel comfortable in uncomfortable situations. Hearing that, .. was shocking!

First of all, I like making people uncomfortable because that is where growth happen! I have a big heart but I am (definitely) not a KIND person.

I am authentic, genuine, & blunt. I am who you need in challenging situations!

I am not meant for the filtered life. If you know me, I am extremely unfiltered.

Take that up with God, He made me for this world. The one where everyone is supposed to love one another & be kind… God made a person like me & every time I try and be “kind” or “softer”. He shows me that is not my purpose.

I read something the other day that described how I have felt for a majority of the past year. It said:

I got lost while trying to survive. my mind was busy fighting itself. my energy was focused on acting if i were stable. my heart felt clogged up with old pain. the struggle continued until I realized that dwelling on the past would never change what happened. slowly my attention shifted to the present. Accepting myself gave me back some of my energy. I began to carve a new road, one that would lead to better things. along the way i found that parts of me I had misplaced. As I was busy building a life that supports my peace of mind, healing gave me a guiding lesson; to continue moving forward I just need to treat myself with gentleness & honesty.

…that hit home. Socially, this past year I disappeared because sometimes the answers to all your questions can be found in the way that they remain silent. I will continue to do so because this past year has been so incredible for my family, my career, my hobbies, and most importantly my faith.

I ask for your patience in this transition & hope all of you can embrace this creative writing year for Forever9.
