impRAWvise 

As we are all celebrating the beginning of a new prosperous and amazing year, I personally have one more reason to celebrate at this time of the year: 7 years of blogging, 7 years of impRAWvise so far. It has definitely been such an awesome and incredible journey, I have learned so much and I continue to learn each and every day, as the blog continues to grow and develop along the way as well. I started by focusing on sharing lifestyle and raw vegan recipe ideas that I have found to be useful and that I love so much and yes, it is a wonderful divine journey of creativity, truthfulness and being connected and true to myself at all times. I have learned a lot about the raw vegan lifestyle, the vegan living and being, through personal experiences and through the inspiration that I have been receiving along the way, and of course I have learned a lot about myself and what fits best into my own unique way of being. But, even though the raw vegan lifestyle is at the core of my being, I have to say that photography occupies just about the same space. For me it is all about combining them both to the best of my ability and just setting myself free: free to be raw vegan, free to be creative, free to be a photographer and free to just be myself, always at all times. impRAWvise has definitely thought me so much already about being consistent with my values and with my practices: be them blogging practices and the organisational stuff of taking care of the blog, but also in life in general, as I am now applying all those amazing things that I have learned in all of life`s areas and I am enjoying the process just as it unfolds. I love being creative, giving myself permission to be creative and just celebrating the progress along the way. Its all about being nice and kind to ourselves and all living beings that we might get in touch with. Its all about being true to ourselves.

I remember, as I started writing for the blog in 2015, I was so scared, I felt so alone and I did not know what to do. But I just felt that I have to do it. And I kept doing it, even when I had months after months of no posts, I kept taking photos, writing down in my journals and documenting my experience along the way, just to be able then to share it with the world on a constant basis. The first year has been pretty quiet on the blog, but then, by the fall of 2016 things started to get moving. I felt more courageous and I started sharing and posting on a regular basis. Sometimes I would post twice a week, and sometimes once a month, but with time I did manage to have a regular practice of weekly posting and sharing what I have been going through that I considered might be helpful for other people too. And it was all worth it and it still is. It feels so good, and writing for the blog or taking photos for the blog have always came so easy once I got over my initial fears. Now, I know that even when I might be going through a creative block or a quiet time, something will eventually unfold in the end. Sometimes it comes in spontaneous bursts and it is just unstopable and sometimes the creative flow is just no where to be found. Now I know I just have to let go and trust the process, allow it to unfold and not get into the way. It always has unfolded and it always will. I just have to trust and stay true to myself and my message. Its all good and its all going to be good. Its all good and its all for the greater good. Today I am so grateful for it all, for all this amazing and divine experience and I consciously choose to embrace it as it continues to unfold on a constant basis. Happy 7 years of impRAWvise and may it all continue to unfold in the best possible way! Happy new year everyone and thanks a lot, again, for dropping by!
