2015 was a HUGE year for me.

I remember this time last year feeling so lost and afraid of my own potential and my own weakness.

I was sitting on a rag tag series from July 2014 dreading the process of learning how to edit and bursting into tears at the thought of losing control.

Then my birthday happened.

I went to Harry Potter World and on the way out I had a thought about imagination.

About how imagination is one of my core values.

It’s what makes me, me.

And I started to wonder how I could use this powerful piece of me to overcome my fears about reaching out to the world through Nimbly.

On the plane I immediately began typing up a series to shoot.

At the time I had very little equipment so the stuff we brought along for taking pictures was all I needed.

I spent my birthday filming all over and confronting my fears of filming in front of people in one giant leap.

In that series I explored the power of imagination to unlock our deepest passions and I allowed it to unlock mine.. on camera.

It would be 5 more months before I published that series.

5 months of fighting to get out of bed every day.

Struggling to feel worth it and replacing that nagging doubt with positive affirmation and self belief.

That week would set off a year of creating, learning, breaking, and growing that transformed me.

Here I sit, a year later feeling so accomplished and proud of myself for stepping up and facing my worst fears.

This year I will be turning 25 – and apparently that is supposed to scare me – and I feel so good.

Here’s to another year may it be filled with courage, love, and imagination.
