This October, I really tried to focus on taking more photos. Besides that, I tried to just tap back into myself, my happiness, and my creativity! October is my favorite time of year and I challenged myself to get back into finding inspiration and to keep up with being creative.
I decided to start a YouTube channel to document my growth and challenges of overcoming creative plateaus. I hope that I will continue to grow and learn in this process - to push myself to be uncomfortable but ultimately more fulfilled because in my heart, I am a creative. I want to express myself - it is what makes my life feel most meaningful.
Please find some of my photos taken over the last month below, and my video documenting what I took on this month along the way!
We went out to Snohomish, Washington for a weekend date and to check out the area.
We held my father’s Celebration of Life in Seattle in September, and I ordered these flowers to celebrate him. They lasted a long time on my porch, even into October.
Some of our weather in the beginning of October was just beautiful. This “Vanilla Sky” night was so charming and I had to take a few photos during our walk.
In our neighborhood, we know most of the local cats better than we know the people! Here is one of our most well-known neighbors, Bob. She is feisty and loves to get pets and say hello to us if we happen to cross by her home.
At the beginning of October, my friends Rina and Travis moved away, but not before we had a chance to hang out with them a few more times! I also grabbed a few photos of them on their last night at their home in Seattle, before they made their big flight the next day to the East Coast.
We went out to The Ice Box to check out some live music and see what being social is like, again.
Lo Fives performed and were a treat! They were also so kind to let me take a few photos of them.
A card from my best friend - she knows me so well!
My best friend out at Bob's Corn & Pumpkin Farm.
We also stopped at the Maltby Produce Market to check out their pumpkin selection, wine selection, and farm animals.

Ready for trick-or-treaters.
Halloween evening! Yes!
