Naturally Ina creative director / content creator on a mission to inspire hope through her art. Hi my name is Ina! Something as simple as a white wall, a vase, a tree..

I'm a creative director and entrepreneur specializing in content creation. Overcoming chronic lyme disease has taught me a lot but the biggest gift I received was the ability to see magic in everything. A creative by nature, I see everything in life as a blank canvas for me to turn into something beautiful. there's beauty in everything. You just have to be open to seeing it. If you have a brand, l

This photo has been sitting in my drafts waiting to be shared for several months. I saw it today and thought to myself, I barely even recognize her anymore. Then when I read the caption I originally wrote I choked up.

I choked up because it was a reminder of how far I’ve come, even in just this last year.

Here’s the original caption:

“As I heal more and more (thank God), I’m reminded of the dreams I had to let go of to survive. Truth is, I feel a strong pull to chase those dreams once again but the lingering fear is palpable. How do we trust our bodies can handle the things that once brought us to our knees?

I guess that’s the path I’m on right now, learning to re-trust my body and my capabilities. Learning to trust that I can take risks and even if they don’t work out, it’ll still be worth it.”

The crazy part is I remember writing this out, I remember feeling so unsure of how much my body could handle. I remember trying to quiet the fear that was telling me I wasn’t ready.

Reading this today I feel so proud of myself because I can honestly say I’m not afraid of taking those risks anymore, if anything they excite me. Because for the first time in what feels like forever, I trust my body. Sure, I may need to rest more than the average person. Sure, my health impacts my plans from time to time.. but I’m able to live. Like really live and enjoy each moment without spending so much energy just trying to push through.

I’m healing. Every day, in every way;
and I’m just so grateful I could cry.

If you’re in the thick of it, whatever “it” is, let this be your reminder to keep going. Good (even great) days are just around the corner.

Give me laugh lines and wrinkles,
I want proof of the jokes we shared.
Engrave the lines into my face like the roots of a tree that grow deeper with each passing year.
I want sunspots as souvenirs
for the beaches we’ve laid on.
I want to look like I was never afraid to let the world take me by the hand and show me what it’s made of.
I want to leave this place knowing I did something with my body other than trying to make it look perfect.

I’ve learned that I’d rather be viewed as too much.. too friendly, too eager, too loving, too passionate, too ‘whatever’… than to have lived with half my soul hiding out of fear.

That way when my time comes (hopefully when I’m old and grey) I’ll know the people I love and care about knew the real me. Not just some watered down version of me I thought I had to be to be viewed as enough.

I’ve been feeling a little creatively stuck lately, but the other day I was watching live video from her launch party and I honestly felt so inspired listening to the little nuggets of wisdom being given throughout.
I got so inspired I started drawing again,
But I decided to do things a little differently this time..
This time I decided to use as my croqui “model”. And now all I wanna do is make this dress come to life and lay on the moon... * what do you think, 👍🏼/👎🏼? _____

It still doesn’t feel real.

It hurts to share this because it just makes it that much more real.. but, last week we lost our Togo. The chief of the house. The dog that literally showed up out of nowhere and stole all of our hearts.

Togo, as happy as I am that you are no longer in pain.. it really hurts that you’re not here physically anymore. There’s a void in the house, when I walk downstairs I find myself walking to your corner to say good morning and am quickly reminded that your body is no longer here.

You’ve been there for me through so much.
Through heartbreak
debilitating pain
anxiety
panic attacks
grief
you’ve been there through literally everything since I’ve moved back home.

Though some may see dogs as just pets, you’re not just a pet.. you’re family. Family that only shows unconditional love... no anger, no frustration, no annoyance, never bitter or too busy.. never mad.. just a lifesize furry ball of unconditional love.

That’s why it hurts extra bad.
You are the sweetest, most gentle spirit.
Feisty when needed,
the ultimate protector/ guard dog..
tbh, you’re the reason I feel safe.

_____________

You were there for me through the darkest days, days I honestly didn’t think I’d make it through.

I’ll keep this brief but it’s important to say,
even if it sounds crazy to some,
I never actually thought I’d outlive you.

_______________

I know you’re still here, and I’m sure I’ll see you around more and more as time goes (thanks for the signs you’re sending already btw!).. but it doesn’t make this whole situation any less sad.

I miss you so much Togo. I’ll love you forever.
Until we see each other again 💛

xxooooo,
your favorite tia.

*ps. Thanks for giving us a few extra days to love you in person. 💛 **pps. Thank you for letting me give you a real extra long hug before you left. I know you hate those 😅😭💛💔 @ Miami, Florida
