“The moment one gives close attention to anything,
even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome,
indescribably magnificent world in itself.”

Hi, I’m Andrea

On this blog you’ll be learning with me how to use our voices, share our creative superpowers and live life in full color.

As an artist, photographer, life coach + mentor, I’m redefining what it means to be a SUPERHERO — ‘cause in my world, it’s got nothing to do with capes, spandex or sidekicks and everything to do with tenderness, intuition & baby steps of bravery.

    Wow, the colours in the photo are so stunning! The leaf looks like a magic elf shoe walking on a big beige feild. Or a fairy boat! 🙂

    Your post reminds me of the wonderful clip of a plastic bag floating in the wind in the movie American Beauty.
    Your images have helped me open my eyes even wider to my own world.
    Great-fully, Nicole/Tickled Pink

    sumptuous sumptous colours and textures…
    you rock girly!

    What a beautiful quote! I’ve been trying to pay more attention to, well, attention myself, since I find that attention leads to passionate appreciation, which is one of the only ways I can get past my fears and actually write.

  14. kristine

    Beautiful image! You have a special way of being encouraging and uplifting simply by your photography alone and yetthen you add a thought to the image and I am even more blessed.

    Hello, Miss A. Gorgeous photo. I was away for awhile (without an internet connection)…caught up here…looks like Hawaii was fabulous. I’ll be at Glide in a few weeks…will email you…

  16. Laura

    So true. My favorite photos to take are close-ups of tiny things or details.

  17. Jennifer

    i think today i would like to appreciate myself and life in general as if i were the blade of grass/the leaf on a discarded easy chair. wouldn’t that be something…if i could look at not just myself, but others, the way i look at and understand this image. something to aim for i suppose 🙂

  18. charleigh

    your photography is an inspiration & this image is no exception. the colour is amazing! love the quote too! 🙂

  19. presley

    i love it because the easy chair fur is probably plastic fur, the natural/artificial combining so well here, nice! plastic garbage is beautiful.
