Traveling on the Edge

Traveling is a highly rewarding and enriching experience in life, allowing us to explore new cultures, landscapes, and perspectives, and to challenge ourselves in ways we never imagined. However, it’s important to remember that traveling is not just about booking a flight, packing a suitcase, and following a guidebook. It is also about living on the edge, embracing the unknown, and finding joy in every moment.

Living on the edge means taking risks and stepping out of our comfort zones. It involves trying new things, meeting new people, and learning new skills. It means being open to surprises, changes, and opportunities. Living on the edge does not necessarily mean doing dangerous or reckless things, but rather being adventurous and curious. It means not being afraid to fail, to make mistakes, or to ask for help.

Traveling with creativity means using our imagination and resourcefulness to make the most of our trips. It involves finding beauty and inspiration in everything we see, hear, and feel. It means being flexible and adaptable to different situations and environments. It means creating our own stories, memories, and souvenirs. Traveling with creativity does not necessarily mean being artistic or talented, but rather being expressive and original. It means not being limited by expectations, rules, or stereotypes.

Traveling with gratitude means being thankful and appreciative of everything we have and experience. It involves recognizing the value and privilege of being able to travel and see the world. It means respecting and honoring the people, places, and cultures we encounter. It means giving back and sharing what we have learned and gained. Traveling with gratitude does not necessarily mean being religious or spiritual, but rather being humble and mindful. It means not taking anything for granted or complaining about anything.

Living on the edge, traveling with creativity, and traveling with gratitude are not mutually exclusive but rather complementary and interrelated. They are ways of living and traveling that can enrich our lives and make us happier, wiser, and more fulfilled. They are ways of living and traveling that can make us live with creativity and the blessings from God. #God#Godisgood#Godslove#travel#traveltheworld#secretplaces#livingontheedge#cheflife#chefstyle#waterfalls#waterfallwednesday#photochallenge2024#photoofthed#photographerforhire#photographerlife#ChefSpecialCanada#hiking#hikingadventures#mypath#myjourney#myjourneycontinues

Travel and Thoughts

It’s been a moment but finding Clarity: Insights from few days at Camp. The sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the tranquil campsite. As I settled into my canvas chair, surrounded by towering pine trees and the distant hum of crickets, I felt a sense of calm wash over me. Little did I know that these few days of relaxation would lead to profound insights and a renewed perspective on life.he rustling leaves, the distant call of a bird, and the gentle sway of the hammock—I immersed myself in nature. Away from the hustle of city life, I found solace in the simplicity of existence. The campfire crackled, and as the flames danced, so did my thoughts. I realized that true insight often emerges when we allow ourselves to be still.Insight #1: Being present is a gift we rarely unwrap. Amidst the tall pines, I learned to savor each moment—the taste of morning coffee, the feel of dew-kissed grass, the laughter shared around the campfire. Mindfulness wasn’t just a buzzword; it was a way of life.As I left the campsite, I carried these insights with me. Life, once cluttered, now felt spacious. I looked forward to a journey infused with spiritual positive energy—a life where each step was intentional, each breath sacred. The camp had gifted me clarity, and I vowed to nurture it.

So, here’s to the quiet moments, the crackling campfires, and the wisdom found in nature’s embrace. May we all find our campfires—places where insights bloom, and our souls dance to the rhythm of existence. #positiveenergy#spiritualjourney#sprituality#mentalhealthawareness#spiritualgrowth#spiritualawakening#spiritualhealing#thejourney#thejourneycontinues#myphotography#photo#photooftheday#naturephotography#cheflife#chefsofinstagram#photographychallengeraphychallenge

Designer, Photography,and Art

Well God has allowed the Universe to offer me a great opportunity to become a Designer as a side job. (A well-known fashion Brand Malefactor or is the other way said? LOL) either way it happened at the Licensing Expo today! I am pretty stoked about it! Also, I have been asked by a few cosplayers about unique design styles, these are some concepts I drew up a few hours ago. I won’t be on the raunchy side of designs.

The Pattern

My mentor’s latest assignment challenged me to draw my strongest emotion, which he refers to as the ‘four phases of life.’ It begins with the earliest moment I lost my mother when I was just a child, leaving me with nowhere to turn. As I grew older, I felt a persistent cold and rain within me. I experienced the storm passing by, and then my grandfather passed away, followed by my grandmother, the last of them all. These four situations was the most important four moments of my life. Deep lost and more lost I guess. Mr. Coa smiled and just said “I want you to share this on your Facebook, Mr.Freedom Mercado your artwork will grow as well as your writing.” so I’m doing what he order to me to do. My inner self or refection , I see my future being alone in the storm. Much Love and Respect
