Sometime after my 40th birthday, on a regular March day in 2025, I found myself in a moment of reflection. I asked myself a simple but life-shifting question: If I were the one giving myself a birthday gift, what would I truly want?I didn’t want stuff. I didn’t want grandeur. I wanted something deeper—joy, love, and peace. ✨
But I didn’t want them in abstract forms. I wanted to feel them. I wanted to see them. I wanted to capture them. So, I decided to turn my desire into art—and that’s how this 40th birthday photo shoot was born.
The idea started wild (as most of mine do) 🎨, but thankfully, a dear colleague (Oma😍) caught the vision and jumped right in with me. We asked: What would joy look like? How would peace show up in color? What space could embody love?
We answered with three locations:
Home, dressed in white – the serenity of peace. A clean canvas. A fresh breath. ☁️
The beach – playful, vibrant, untamed joy. Wind in my hair, sand in my toes, and laughter in my soul. 🌊
A garden – romantic, dreamy, and lush. It was Cinderella-meets-woman-in-bloom. That was love. 🌸
Now, five years later, I flipped through the photos again—and goodness, what a journey. I realized that when I chose joy, love, and peace intentionally, life started reflecting those very things back at me. Not all at once, and not without effort—but they came. And what didn’t align quietly found its way out.
This experience taught me that we’re not just living life—we’re designing it. We’re the creators of the atmosphere we want to live in. And when we become clear about what we desire, the universe meets us there. ✨
So, as you scroll through this blog post and catch glimpses of that photo shoot, I hope it sparks something in you too.
May your joy be full. 💛
May your peace radiate. 🕊️
May your love shine through. ❤️
And if you’re ever wondering what to gift yourself… start there.
Start with what your soul truly craves.
