Passion is Sexy. #sns

So I’ve let words sit on my heart since these sneaks were released. Some from people that mean the absolute most & others that don’t know my actual name. 🤍 Both are welcome to their own perspectives & I don’t mind that they were shared with me. Not a bit. ♥️ What does sexuality on display have to do with painting furniture?

I’d like to come back to the reasons I booked this shoot. Matter of fact, the reason I started Re•vive in 2016. I do very little without deep passion or enthusiasm. Passion doesn’t always come from beautiful places- Re•vive started during a breaking point for me. It quite literally gave me so much joy. Joy + craving to learn + healing = passion was born. Fueled by creativity & hunger to contribute in a scary season. And since has fed my family, my soul, & saved my life. More than once. Judge me. 🤙🏼

So when I did this shoot, I asked Jake to capture strong, independent, whole, authentic... ME. Because here’s the deal. I am Re•vive & Re•vive is ME. With any entrepreneur- It’s not what we do. It’s why we do it & what we do with it. THAT to me IS sexy. That deep-rooted fire in your belly to wake up, hustle, pay that bill, save for that dream car/house/trip/savings... THAT is a whole sexy vibe. Trying that new technique... sexy. Passion & pursuit for “better” or “more” is SEXY. Getting up when you’ve been on the kitchen floor broken & getting back to work because you don’t allow yourself a different choice.... that. Even that to me is sexy. Those tears of overwhelming joy when you get your first $$$$ client... that raw gratefulness is so beautifully sexy.

“Do what sets your soul on fire. 🔥🖤”

There are moments where I work on a project & I’m swooning hard the whole time- 🤩🤤Then there are times where I FAIL.HARD. (at least in my mind I do) but when I can stand back up, I remember who I am & the intensity God put in my soul to KEEP•FIGHTING. THAT makes me feel sexy to my core because I can & I will. Period.

So THIS shoot was never about bedroom sexuality. It wasn’t about my body. (That’s at its heaviest in several years!) This one is for those with a fire in their souls for what they can make of this life, unapologetically, like mine. 🖤💋
