The Luncheon at Brio …

Good morning, ladies and gents, this last weekend was Brilliant. In the heart of the bustling city, where the aroma of freshly prepared dishes wafts through the air, I Chef Freedom Mercado, becoming known for artistic culinary creations, got invited to sit across from a new friend (Ruia) at Brio. this place, food, and artistry intertwine. I meet her (Ruia) at a social art gallery. I had a great moment (Lunch date). Brio Italian Grille #restaurante #italianfood #cuisinemaison #cuisines #foodie #lunchtime #lunchdate Pizza Expo Specialty Food Association Fontainebleau Las Vegas #foodie #foodblogger #CulinaryJourney

We savored the last bites of their meal, we reflected on how trust, much like a well-crafted dish, requires a balance of ingredients – honesty, vulnerability, and the willingness to take risks. It was a lunch date that would be etched in our memories, not just for the exquisite food but for the richness of the conversation and the reaffirmation of a bond that was as comforting and delightful as the culinary masterpieces they had just enjoyed. #lunch #chef #cheflife

As the conversation delved into the depths of trust and the intricacies of friendship, the main course arrived, a vibrant tapestry of colors and textures. Rigatoni, perfectly al dente, served as the foundation for tender grilled chicken, earthy mushrooms, and fresh spinach. The red peppers added a sweet contrast, both in taste and presentation, while the roasted red pepper cream sauce enveloped each ingredient in a warm, comforting embrace. #goodfoods #foodies #culinary #chefs #cheflife

The dialogue between the two friends meandered through the layers of their past experiences, much like the layers of flavors in their meal. We spoke of the trust that is the cornerstone of any meaningful relationship, the kind that is built over time and solidified through shared moments, much like the ones we were creating right then and there. #us #friendship #friends #culinary

The Artistry of just Being …

My Grandmother’s advice was to never let anyone diminish your dreams. Never let anyone deter you from pursuing your goals. Always take life seriously, but don’t forget to laugh at it too. When you find yourself laughing, pay attention to who’s laughing with you. If it’s those closest to you, then you’re in the right place. But always remember, there’s a difference between those who laugh at you and those who laugh with you. The former will make you feel uneasy, while the latter will bring you peace and serenity. My Grandmother’s wisdom still resonates with me, and I cherish it dearly. #StoriesOfHope #storiesthatmatter #stories #storytime #storytelling #storyofmylife #cheflife #chef #chefchallenge #bakerylife #chefsofinstagram #chefstyle #cateringservice #cateringevent #CateringExcellence #gourmet #gourmetfood #art #artgallery #artoftheday #artistsoninstagram #writersofinstagram #writingcommunity #writer #writerslife #producerlife #photographerforhire #photojournalism #menatlhealthmatters #mypath

”Black Butterfly” My version of a Phoenix Butterfly, my grandmother always challenged my creativity and imagination. #art #artalways #story #stories #display #creativity #female

I will always be about my photojournalism. It’s a part of me, it drives me to be more structured in my life. more focused and solid. #writing #writers #writer #stories #photography #photo #photojournalism

“Fields of Gold” I watched an old Western movie a few months ago. I wanted to remember this scene. I never said I wanted to be a paid artist, I never wanted to be an artist with a Gallery. I do art for expression and therapy. an most importantly I have stories to tell and waiting for someone to draw them, well I decided a long time ago, to stop waiting on anyone and just get it done myself. I’m not the most talented artist or skillful, not at all. But I do create art that makes me at peace and helps me with telling my stories. #art #artworks #stories #peace #mentalhealth

Being a Chef has been the most rewarding career experience I have had so far. I simply love the culinary industry. #chef #cheflife #chefstyle #culinary #gourmet #gourmetstyle

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

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. I made that pretty clear with everyone. #cosplay #cosplayers #cosplaying #cosplayersofinstagram #design #designer #designerwear #modelshoot #modeling #art #artistsoninstagram #ArtisticJourney #artistlife #concepts #conceptart #argentina #artoftheday #artisfashion I’m extremely happy that I’m keeping the doing business side on LinkedIn anyway be positive and stay focused! Much Love and Respect! I gotto do my meditation and prayers for the night! if your in need of good vibes sent your way or even a prayer. Let me know (privately is find send it my DM!)  by Freedom Mercado

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
