We are all complex personalities, growing, evolving, unraveling, becoming and unbecoming through contemplation followed by self-discovery. I love that you’re keeping your brand but shifting the energy as you see fit. Five years from now it may be something else. That’s the beauty of being in this space…you can be all you want to be, and you’ll be celebrated for it all 🥰

Thank you @Mansi for this. I do find I am ever evolving and learning to loosen my grip on something I have been to allow myself to become so much more

Absolutely, we CAN hold both joy and sorrow in the same hand, and so much more. A line from a song says, "Joy and sorrow interwoven; love in all I see."

And your name "Momtemplative" does not need to signify only the dark place from which it was birthed. To contemplate just means "to think on", so you are certainly free to think on and share whatever and wherever you are. As you said, it'll shift as you do. Onward and upward!

Oh sherry you beautiful soul! First of all you're radiant in all of these photos! And also I was just smiling with so much love and happiness (a bit of tears too) reading this...I'm so so so damn happy for you woman! The way you've transformed, healed, sat with the deepest parts of yourself... for the light to shine through so brightly...for you to witness your own light (something that folks around you have always felt)...

My heart just fills up my friend! Just...thank you. And I love you 🥹💕

Sherry, I'm really enjoying getting to know all different sides and faces of you. I love how you hold joy, sorrow, curiosity, empathy, angst, and love all in the same fingers. I am loving discovering little bits...like your background as a fashion photographer agent...seriously? WOW.
