Dear 2020:
On this last day with you, all the memories I’ve made this year come crashing in, the tremendous amount I’ve grown this year makes me smile and the dreams that have come true sends a rush through my being. I honestly can’t believe this is it with you, this year has seemed long at times and very fast at other times. To some, you may have been an annoying and tough year but, to me you have been an eye opening and truth-filled year that I will forever be grateful for.
You’ve changed my life in so many ways. To start, you woke me up out of the dream of lies this world is full of. You gave the truth a new meaning this year and with that truth came true freedom. In the beginning, I’ll admit, it wasn’t easy. I felt like my whole world had been rocked and my dreams too, but then came the gratitude, freedom and drive to make a difference. The truth has truly become my best friend and I wouldn’t want it any other away, I am so grateful to be really alive. I will never sleep again, being alive gives me purpose and makes my fire inside light up the world. So, thank you for all the truth you’ve brought to me, that’s just one way you changed my life and me.
Another way you’ve changed my life and I, is by making my dream of having a website/blog come true. There was no better time than with you to make my dream a reality and I am so so grateful to you. This website has brought me so much comfort, connection and freedom. The people I’ve gotten to connect with through my blog has been truly amazing, I never thought I’d get to have the pleasure of connecting with such beautiful souls from across the world. Writing is my best friend, I’ve spent so so many hours typing/creating away. My debut album, my story, my future sophomore album and all the posts in between will be a part of my heart and soul forever, thank you for that. I can’t believe it has only been four months of blogging, I feel like this website has been inside of me forever. I’ve grown so much mentally and emotionally and I think that credit goes to you, for both bringing this website and the truth into my life.
Yet another way you’ve change my life and I, is by bringing a much needed balance to my life. Tennis and being an athlete is my passion, but so is writing and helping raise the frequency of this planet. Combining both, plus spending time in nature, being with my family, connecting with my friends and just the everyday things in life I got to enjoy more this year, really has brought me true balance. I know in my soul that all the writing and creating really has helped the athlete side of me grow and get better and the athlete side of me has helped my words have so much depth and meaning to them. Without the athlete, I wouldn’t be fearless and free and without the writer, I wouldn’t be as joyous or alive. I truly thank you for the harmony you’ve created in my life through the balance of both sides of me, I truly feel that in each day I thrive.
I have to be honest and say that this year with you hasn’t been all sunny and bright, there have been some rough and dark days. But I know in my gut that without those tough days, the bright days wouldn’t mean as much and I definitely wouldn’t have grown. It is in the dark I have truly chosen to evolve and to come out stronger. Another way you have changed my life and I, is by showing me what it really means to love myself and to believe in myself. With that newfound love and belief in myself, I can truly see that those tough days shaped me into the unique light that I am. Those days taught me how to shine my light and how to be strong in the weirdest of times. I think vibration and energy also have a new meaning to me this year, thanks to you. I feel so much more in touch with my energy, much more control over my energy partly due to cutting out sugar from life completely and I definitely can read other’s energy much much better. I even got the experience of seeing other’s auras which was fascinating. I am authentically myself, no matter how much that person changes, I am my true self every single day. I am so hard on myself and giving myself credit isn’t the easiest thing in the world, but, I can say with full truth that I am really proud of the fearless and free soul I am.
2020, I hate to say goodbye, you really have brought me so much. I know you’ve been treated poorly at times but, I get your message and I see you. I know the truth is your purpose and I will always remember you for that. Thank you for the joy, love, truth, comfort, connection and growth you have brought me. Thank you for strengthening my relationships with my family and friends and thank you for showing me that dreams and thoughts do become reality; I’ve always believed that and I always will. 2020, the Universe, thank you. -Ace
Like a wolf she growled, the moon shined on her like a radiant angel. But it wasn’t the moon that made her alive, for who even knew what the moon was. The stars inside powered her soul and brought a twinkle to her eyes. The growl that roared out of her was for the love that was missing in the world. She alone, could not bring all of it back, she needed the rest of her pack. She howled to the night and her voice spread through the woods, her brothers and sisters would always hear her because they all vibrated at the same frequency, love.
United, we are one, let’s bring the love back! Be fearless and free -Ace
Hello friends!!! Today’s post is all about joy and smiling! I know a lot of people are struggling with some type of pain right now, whether physical, emotional or mental, I get it. But pain is ultimately just an illusion, labels give it power, but YOU are so strong, I know it!! So, today I’m going to share some past pieces of mine to help you rise, smile and say goodbye to pain.
To Start – Some Videos From My Debut Album, IMAGINE + REALITY
Above is the link to all the videos from the album, if you need a little more inspiration or motivation, that’s the place to find it!
We’re born
Taught to survive
Forgetting how to thrive
Our childhood spark
Loses its magic
Because we forget
It’s right here
And always near
Don’t fear
It never dissapears
Find that spark
And make your mark
-Ace
Had to end this with a new poem, so I lied, this post isn’t only my past pieces! π I hope these videos, images and this poem brought you laughter, joy, smiles and was a little escape from reality! I believe in you, you’ve truly got this!!
Which piece was your favorite?? Much love to you all. Be fearless and free -Ace
Destiny said, “I am what you create me to be.”
I replied, “Actually, I AM you.”
Who knew two lines could hold such power?

Here’s the link to my debut album, it’ll give you a better idea of what album #2 might look like and if you need motivation/inspiration, it will definitely deliver! Go check it out!
Like the shells of the ocean
Life is about love and devotion
We are filled with emotion
That emotion taps us into our hearts
Our hearts connect to us the Universe within
And the magic all around
Like the shells of the ocean
We are unique and beautiful
All with a strong light to shine
I am not mine
I AM one
I AM the Universe
So are you
Like the shells of the ocean
We have our cracks
But those cracks make us tough
It may be rough
But life is about growth
Without those cracks growth is hard to come by
Don’t lie
You know in your soul
Those cracks shaped you into the warrior you are today
Like the shells of the ocean
We come in all different shapes and sizes
But we are all connected by love
Like the sun above
When we shine together
We blur out all darkness
Time to unite
Like the shells of the ocean
These shells/rocks are all from my ever-growing collection! I’m so lucky to live near a beach and whenever my family and I go on a walk by the ocean, I always look for these gems! They are all so different yet the same. I think they really symbolize the uniqueness of each of us but at the same time the connection of love between us all. When we come together we can rise above the darkness and make each other better or in the shells’ case, make beautiful shapes!! That’s what this poem I wrote is all about, celebrating our uniqueness and collectively shining our bright lights to illuminate the world!
A couple days ago, Wardah from Silent Silvery Tears nominated me for the Sunshine Blogger Award! Thank you so so much Wardah, I so appreciate the nomination and it means a lot to me!
Wardah’s blog features inspiring and soul comforting poetry, prose and deep words! Go check out her blog, I know you will get something out of it!!
Would you ever go skydiving?
Yes, I think it would be a little scary but overall super fun and freeing! I’ve always wanted to fly and skydiving would be as close as I could get!
Would you rather be a peasant or royalty?
Before 2020 I would’ve said royalty, but today I would for sure say a peasant. I definitely don’t want to be in the spotlight.
What is the most memorable event from your childhood?
That’s a tough one, tennis comes to mind right away. I am an avid tennis athlete, and my dream was to be the best professional tennis player in the world until I woke up to the truth of what that would mean. But, family doubles with my brother and my parents were some really good times, we use to play every weekend together when my brother and I were little, and it was always so fun. I would also say our trip to Chicago was the best, we visited so many cool exhibits and museums, the food was fantastic and I still remember it all so vividly.
Do you write in a journal/diary? Why or why not?
I go on and off. I have this black book that I write in from time to time, sometimes I write my posts in there first. But, the writing on my blog is like my journal; all my thoughts just flow out onto the page I’m typing on. I also have a document in Word that is like my diary, sometimes I just type away in there. It really depends on my mood, writing always helps me clear my head and if something is really bothering me, I’ll write or type away and just express how I feel.
What is your idea of the perfect day?
I’m an early bird so, wake up at 7:30 and get a nice hour workout in. Then check my reader, make breakfast and my protein shake, publish a poem or any piece of writing on my blog, read a good book, train on the tennis court for a couple hours, have a nice healthy lunch, go on an adventure of some sort (like a hike, joyride, walk on the beach or find a peaceful place in the woods), connect with my friends including you through the comments π, let my mind daydream and listen to some music, cook a nice dinner, write and create some more, wind down with my favorite tv show (Arrow), set my intention for what I want to dream about and then travel to another world (my sleep). π
What’s the top thing on your wish list?
To go to Sedona, Arizona!! There have been so many signs from the Universe telling me to go there and the energy in Sedona seems unlike anywhere else. The timing hasn’t been quite right yet but hopefully someday soon I’ll be posting about the magic of my time in Sedona!! π
What does your room look like?
My room is my sanctuary and it is so me! I have a lot of inspirational quotes on the walls, above my daybed I have a heart that lights up and across from that I have a sign that lights up that says, believe. I have a beautiful light colored wood dresser and matching desk; my dresser is filled with my shell collection that seems to grow every day! Above my desk is a bulletin board that I’ve filled with my favorite quotes I’ve seen and written myself and the most meaningful things that have been said to me by my family and friends. But my favorite part of my room is my orbit chair, it’s like an open dome if that makes sense! It is grey, so comfortable and I do all of my writing and video-making in it! My desk is literally right next to it but I always opt to work in my orbit chair!! Behind this chair, is my giant bookshelf/trophy case that matches with the dresser and the desk, it holds a lot of family photos, trophies, books, and fun little souvenirs I’ve found or been given.
Pen or pencil?
Pen. I would like to say pencil, but I don’t even know the last time I’ve used a pencil!
Would you ever try going vegan? (if you aren’t already)
I’ve been vegan for 13 years and I’ve never looked back! I don’t remember what meat or dairy tastes like. These days there are so many amazing options for vegans; although, I try not to eat too much of the meat and dairy replacements because I like to stick to whole foods.
Who is the most inspirational person you know personally?
My mom. She taught me how to be strong because she is the strongest person I’ve ever met, she taught me how to be fearless, she taught me how to love myself which, is the greatest gift I think you can be given, she taught me how to live what I know and she taught me to believe in myself. She inspires me every single day and has been the best role model to me since the day I was born! Thank you Mom!!
What’s the kindest thing you’ve ever heard?
The truth because even though it can hurt, that is a choice. Truth sets you free, awakens the fire within you and strengthens your relationship with your soul. Those special people who show you the truth, are the kindest souls for they truly care about you and they really know who they are!
Oh, the hard part has come! π€ͺ I nominate these amazing souls who inspire me and whose work I really appreciate!
Thank you again to Wardah for the nomination!! And thank you to each and everyone of the beautiful souls who support and read my blog! I sincerely appreciate you and believe in you! Make sure to check out the amazing blogs mentioned in this article! Be fearless and free -Ace
Just the stars and I
No one will lie
Eyes focus on the sky
Mind focuses on the heart
The Universe laughs, it’s oh so smart
My mind wonders what’s so funny
Then I hear it sweet like honey
It brings a smile to my face
A moment spent with grace
The Universe in me waves at the Universe in the stars
I thank them for my scars
They thank me for creating them to be
Theyβd be nothing without me
Iβd be nothing without them
That is what makes us laugh
To the human in each of us we seem so finite
But to the magic
We know we’re infinite

Remembering The Light is finally out and available to you!! I am so excited to be releasing it and sharing it with all of you. I pondered the idea of putting it out chapter by chapter, but I figured it would be better if you had the complete story all in one. I’ve made a new page on my website called Projects (I’ll link it below), this page will have IMAGINE + REALITY (my debut album) and this story in it so you will always have access to them. I encourage you to go read Remembering The Light, it isn’t too long, I think we could all use a little fiction right now and it is all about love, light and the beauty of relationships.
Remembering The Light – thank you for being so complete and for letting me bring you to life. Your characters and I have become really close and I hear them in my head all the time. I really believe your light can shine so brightly and inspire others to do the same! I am so excited to be releasing you to this world and I can’t wait to see what others think of our teamwork to bring your story to paper. No matter what, I am so grateful to you and the joy you’ve brought me. I will always remember your light. π
