A little caterpillar on a big oak tree, Falling in love with the hide and see, (finding the best spot for shade, blending in with the bark, making a small mark). Turning over a new leaf Or at least trying, adding belief. Tumbling from branches, hitting the ground, Life’s great adventure lies in playing around. (No creature could have been stiller when it came to pursuing the big dreams)?
Inching to crawl, Hearing the call, (Beyond words and thoughts, it was coming) Something so deep, A cry to evolve, a deafening weep. (A dance within, change was looming in place).
With another slither, The cocoon whispered, “come hither” Everything became s l o w, Sky and sight disappeared. (All was blank, in this blanket’s show).
Hugging its skin like gentle fluff, The cocoon became soothing, Breaking the warmth, becoming rough, Cold air brushed the new body – blooming. Like a flower that came to life, Testing its wings like they were petals, The butterfly took a flight, A new world went into view, The flapping wings appeared blue, Something ineffable, only divine, As if nothing could take away its sun-kissed shine, It floated over the trees, Tasting nature’s nectar, finally free. Ready to make another leap, Fear started to weep. The adrenaline of truly being alive, Was such a magical dive. Something inside was afraid fear would arrive, But through a smile of the eyes, And a breath of love, So many more surprises Awaited these wings delicately above.

In my eyes, skies are still warm In my heart, breaths are still surviving I search for meaning of all existence, as I draw lines in my mind. So many doors of emptiness surround me as time scatters, but even the eye has an exit. I fall asleep on my pillow of pain and hope to awake on a wing and a prayer. A fullness then gathers inside me, and I now feel anything but ordinary. I watch love nestle in every crevice of my being, I watch the stars pour their light into my veins. That something extraordinary is without form, boundless and forceful. A gentle whisper A ferocious cry, all at once. The sun sets behind the ocean of my dream, and rises over the sky of my vision. The wind blows through every thought in my collection. The trees and the flowers cradle my heart, while the mountains nudge me to grow. I’m in this infinite flow, or maybe I am this infinite flow. And I now feel anything but ordinary.
It was so magical to work with the amazing Diana on this piece! She’s always inspired me and I feel very lucky to call her a dear friend! Diana’s lovely instagram reels also inspired this video!
I hope this piece reminds you that you are anything but ordinary!!
We are all puzzle pieces in the infinite puzzle of this life. Each piece is unique in their structure and color. But together, all these unique pieces create something bigger than their forms, something divine. The Universe in each piece reflects upon the other, because together, we are one.
We are each a unique wave in this eternal ocean of the Universe. Each wave with its own force, its own rise and crash, its own depth and its own soothing sound. But together, each wave connects into something much more ethereal, a forever intrinsic feeling. The light within each fragment of every wave shines, because together, we are one.
We are each a step on this endless staircase of destiny. Each step is equal, but special in its purpose, action, foundation and gentle nudge. Together, every step helps each other evolve and build something grand, something sacred. The inspiration to progress and the drive to climb this boundless journey is found within, because together, we are one.
We are each a magnet connected to this board of fate. Each magnet is distinctive in its personality, design, perception and strength. But together, all the magnets unite and present something deeper, something precious. The wonder and character through the vastness in each piece travels through many dreams, because together, we are one.
We are One. We are a team, here for a reason and living this dream together!! I’d so love to hear your favorite analogy!! Be fearless and free – Ace
One of the pillars of my character development and foundation-building in my childhood was loyalty. I always thought of it as one of the more simple concepts, something that’s an obvious trait. Through relationship ups and downs, growing internally and watching the Universe (me) design my life, I learned loyalty is a little bigger than I might have realized.
It feels so good to be loyal to yourself. When you know who you are in your bones, when you love yourself enough to stand up for yourself and when you believe so purely in your strength – life becomes so free. It’s the only way to truly live or thrive. You can’t authentically be loyal to something/someone else if you aren’t loyal to yourself. Something externally can trigger, question or test you, but, with loyalty to yourself there’s a certain peace within that allows you to see with open eyes and to rise above with an open heart. Here’s the fun part about being loyal to yourself — you automatically are being loyal to the Universe, because you are it and it is you; the Universe and you are one. The Universe is always loyal to you, because without even knowing it, there’s a place inside of you somewhere that always loves you for you; that place is called your soul.
In a few recent life experiences, I let loyalty roam around a little bit in my head. Bumping into experiences where it feels as though others are not loyal to us in ways that we would rather they be or if we feel betrayed or let down, it can seem that we live in an unfair, lonely, disloyal world. But, in reality, people can only be as loyal to us as they are to themselves. Throughout learning important character traits, and, together, laying foundational character work with my family as a very young person, I continue to realize over the years just who I am and how I function in Life and relationships. I know what I can count on from me and it guides me as I navigate even the toughest of situations. There is this ‘me’ that is guiding my choices full of what I can count on to show up as my character — and that is what is loyal to me and I to it — that force that guides me through knowing who I Am and who and what I am not and/or what I will and will not allow/participate in. Others meet us where they are at on their own perfect journey. The same loyalty we show ourselves is the loyalty that shows up for and with others. It is all a beautiful experience that is just as it should be along the way of embodying ever more of who we truly are.
When you trust yourself (the Universe), you can truly see this journey in a grander perspective. Grander perspective as in, more than this so-called human life — something infinite. This life is more than we believe it to be, we are the creators and everything happens for a reason. With loyalty to yourself, you start to see how everything truly connects.
I’m going to be honest, relationships are tricky. They’re one of the hardest things to life, but, one of the most rewarding! I believe in humanity, I believe in people, I believe in love. I care and I see you for you, so, I’ll be loyal if the stars align and if my intuition knows. There’s a piece of me that naturally sees people as being genuinely loyal too, and who knows, that could be true or not. The truth is, we’re are all reflections of each other, so maybe that’s just me seeing myself in another. People may not be loyal to you, they might not see you for you and that’s ok. Everyone is learning, growing and evolving at their perfect pace on their journey. I have loyalty to the Universe because I trust that all is always well and that all is meant to be. I have loyalty to myself because I am my best friend and I infinitely trust me through everything/anything.
I think sometimes the most seemingly simple things in life are the most powerful. And right now, loyalty is presenting itself a lot in my life. Through it’s appearances recently, I’ve paid more attention to the feelings that come with being loyal. Let’s just put it simply — it seriously feels so good to be loyal to yourself! You know when you smile and your whole aura changes, your thoughts change and your heart opens; it’s a similar feeling through being loyal. Someone can be talking to you, waiting for you to say a certain thing or to talk down / lower your vibration and you just smile and stay true to you, it’s so simple but such a BIG thing! There’s a knowing that comes with being loyal, it’s a knowing of your soul. And when you know your soul, YOU are truly fearless and free.
Here’s to being loyal to ourselves (the Universe) and basking in the magical emotions that come with it! Be fearless and free -Ace
I never thought I’d be able to follow up IMAGINE + REALITY, especially not this soon. I’m excited to tell you that I have!! This album is different but it comes from the same place of love, light and freedom! I’m so excited I finally get to share this full album with you, I’ve been holding it for so long and to release it to you guys feels, ironically, freeing!! This second time around, the videos are longer, I’ve made them differently, and I played around with special effects which really bring the words to life! And just like IMAGINE + REALITY, I poured my heart, soul, intuition and every ounce of my being into the entirety of this album. FREEDOM doesn’t have a format, it’s just 11 videos that flow right into each other. This post might seem long and daunting but, I encourage you to at least just watch one! Trust me, it’ll be worth it. I hope these videos bring you as much joy, inspiration, love, light and freedom as they bring me. In the coming days, I’ll be doing a Q&A about this album and take you behind the scenes. The process of making FREEDOM was definitely different than IMAGINE + REALITY. But for now, you finally have the album! I encourage you to watch them in order, just watch one, or watch the videos that stand out to you personally – the Universe will always show you what you need to see. Dive in!! And comment with your thoughts and favorites, I’d so love to hear!!
1. Shine – 1:36
Funny thing about this video, Shine, I made it 3 days after IMAGINE + REALITY went out. I don’t know why, I just had this feeling that I should make a video. So, I did and it was the hardest video to make. Putting out 17 videos is no joke and I used so many slides, colors, backgrounds, words, sayings, topics, and fonts. When I sat down to make this video it was overwhelming and took me hours because I didn’t want any of the slides to have the same words and backgrounds as the videos in IMAGINE + REALITY. But, overall it came together really well and the overall message is listening to your heart and love, of course. Making videos normally is very relaxing and enjoyable to me and even though this one was harder, I’m so glad I pushed through and and stuck to it. It really came out so good and I love the slides about a smiling heart. It is the perfect way to start this album because you need to be in touch with the love in your heart to truly be free.
2. Unique – 1:33
I made Unique a week after I made Shine, again, I got that strange feeling in my gut that I should make a video. And that week, a few things happened which made me really grateful that after many lessons, I am fully myself no matter who or what comes my way. So this video came naturally. I learned from the trouble I had in making Shine, so this time I wrote the words first in my journal and then designed the video. I’ve done videos that way in the past so it wasn’t too weird, I actually enjoy doing it that way now. The theme of this video is obviously, to be yourself 100% percent and to celebrate your uniqueness. If we were all the same, we’d be robots. Our differences makes us strong and without those differences connection wouldn’t be as meaningful, conversations would lack depth and all our realities would be the same because perception shapes reality. I really love this video, sometimes we all need little reminder that being uniquely yourself is the truest form of strength.
3. Know In My Soul – 2:00
Know In My Soul is one of my favorite videos, I took some time after making Unique and really got clear on what I was doing. 🤪 I didn’t post Shine or Unique so, in my mind I was like, “Am I making another album?” The answer was obviously, “Yes.” I still hadn’t fully committed to that thought yet, I was just making videos. This video, I again, wrote in my journal and then designed. It has a pattern to it though, you’ll get a profound thought and then the reason why that thought is true. The pattern just repeats itself over and over again. I named this video, Know In My Soul, because every one of these slides I just know inside of me, I’ll know them forever. Not to say that I don’t know other slides from other videos in my soul, I do. But these slides, no matter how much I grow or change, will always be known to me.
4. In Sync – 1:49
In Sync was the first video I made for this album that came through me effortlessly, I was back in the zone. And I had fully committed to the thought that I was making an album. I love this video, the music is so perfect and I started to use special effects in here! I think the effects make it that much more entertaining and gives the words more life. I feel like this video represents how it feels to be in sync with the Universe, you. There are a few slides about feelings here because I feel like your emotions are the most direct way you can hear the Universe. Feelings are tricky because you need to face them to let them pass but you also don’t want to be trapped in them, it’s a balance like everything is in this life! But you always need to trust your feelings, always. I love this video, I knew as soon as I finished it, it would be my lead single. I think it brings everything together so nicely.
5. Passion – 1:42
Making Passion felt like old times. Even though I wrote it first and then designed it, it felt exactly like how I felt making all the videos for IMAGINE + REALITY. I got very good at the special effects here, so you’ll notice them a lot! This year is a year that I feel like not many dreams have got to come true, so I am so so so grateful that one of my dreams came true. I always dreamt of having a blog, a website so, to now have it feels kind of surreal. Through my blog, I’ve realized that my purpose for right now, is to help raise the vibrational frequency of this planet through love, light, words, and truth. So, this video came easily, maybe that’s why that video-making feeling came back to me here! I didn’t title this video purpose because passion is purpose. Sometimes the word purpose can feel daunting or I don’t know, like scary because you may not know your purpose yet and that is ok. We all have a passion, if you take the real reason of why you love your passion, then you’ll find your purpose. I love this video because the music is so funky and fun, it’s kind of different from the rest!
6. 20 Questions – 2:12
I was watching some of my older videos and I had this idea to do a riff off the game, 20 Questions and make a video about 20 spiritual questions. At this point, I’d made Passion earlier in the day and In Sync the day before so I was really really in the zone. I didn’t write this video down first, I made the video all at once. I had a clear vision for this video and I’m glad to say it came to reality exactly the way I wanted it to. I love how on the last slide, the question is, Are You Fearless And Free? It ties in my website so well because the image is my icon for the website. You know I had to build up the music for that slide too! 😁 The song though, it’s really good, I like how it goes slow, fast, slow, fast. Again, the effects really make the words pop. These questions have so much power and I think if you answer each of them honestly, it is a really good analysis of where you’re at. Of course, there is no right or wrong, wherever you are on your journey is meant to be. This is probably one of my favorite videos I’ve ever made.
7. Empower – 1:57
Empower is a video meant to empower and inspire you!! We are living in a world that is trying to lower you frequency, trying to bring fear into your being and trying to trying to make you small. This video is to remind you how much power you actually have, because sometimes even our own little mind’s will try to convince us otherwise. I wrote this video late at night and three lines down, I decided the whole video would be about all that we are each capable of. Could you imagine if we all always remembered all of our power and then harnessed it, came together and became united in fighting for true freedom? There are some really cool backgrounds in this video that really elevate this video. The song is so good, the title “Praying For Love” seems so applicable to this video.
8. Hello Future – 1:43
This video’s theme is ascension and truth. I wrote this video in my journal right after I wrote Empower. I think the future is very unknown but, what I do know is that if we start imagining the future we want, it will be reality. Ascension has so many different views and opinions and I didn’t want this video to just be my my beliefs on what ascension could be, because that would just be creating more division and uncertainty. This video is to assure you ascension is coming and soon we will rise, but for now, you’ve got to shine, raise your frequency, follow your heart and trust yourself. I think sometimes when we think of trust, we think of trust in others and forget how important it is to fully trust ourselves. Again, the song title “If I Change” is very applicable to this video because if you change, you’ll meet ascension. Change should be your really good friend by now, and if it isn’t that’s ok, we could all use a friend and let me tell you, change is a good one. 😁
9. Trust – 1:53
Trust flows so nicely from Hello Future. There’s a slide in Hello Future, “Trust You Through and Through” and I knew when I wrote that slide that I could jump off of it and make a whole video about it. Trust is a tough one, the circle of people I fully trust is very tight and after all the lessons I’ve learned with trust, I wouldn’t want it any other way. I remember very clearly, there was a day I was writing an article about trusting the Universe and that night I said out loud, “I trust you.” It felt so freeing and like a weight off my shoulders. In a way, it kind of changed my life. In any situation I’m in now, I always sit back and remember there is a reason for it and that I trust the Universe no matter what. The purpose of this video is to encourage you to trust yourself because one, you deserve it and two, you are the Universe.
10. Being – 1:53
I actually wrote Being before I wrote trust, I was thinking of writing a post about being. For some reason being was on my heart a lot so, I decided to make a video about it. I think when we are so comfortable with who we are and when we know every piece of our heart, soul and mind being comes naturally. There’s a certain feeling when it comes to being, the only way I can describe it is like divine peace. You just sit in this knowing that you love who you are and no one or nothing will change that. I remember in writing this video how excited I got when I realized the word BE was in believe. I don’t know why I hadn’t seen it before, but it became so clear to me. You can’t believe in yourself if you aren’t being yourself. I think this video is simple but also complex; a paradox. I think it is powerful to know that we have so much power that if we just change ourselves, the situation outside of you that you want to change will change, because our perception shapes our vision.
11. Alive – 1:58
When I was deciding on the name for this album it was between, Alive or Freedom. Obviously, I went with FREEDOM, but I knew that I would definitely make a video about being truly alive, because when you are really alive, you are free. Alive is the perfect ending to this album, I think it encompasses all the videos so well. There really is a difference in living vs. really living with each day with gratitude, love, light and freedom. My hope with this video is to inspire you to change your perception, to ignite that fire inside of you and to really Live! After I made this video, FREEDOM felt so complete. I wrote Trust, Being and Alive in one night and the next day I designed all of them. I was sad to be done with this album but I was also so ready to see the final project and it really does feel so complete, alive and free. FREEDOM, thank your for being my album #2. You really have inspired me and you’ll have a special place in my heart forever! I’m excited to see the impact you make in this world!!
Thank you so much for watching!!! Comment with your thoughts, favorites or any questions you might have for my Q&A about the album. I would so love to hear!! The Q&A will be released, January 13th. I can’t believe I have two albums now and I’m so glad you guys finally have it!! I hope this album inspires you to be truly Free!! Be fearless and free -Ace
My new single, Charge is out now!!! Check it out!!
Today, in the US and even around the world, it’s a really big day. It’s election day and anything really can happen. There are a lot of energies in the world right now and a lot of division. I made this video as something to watch to charge your energy, an energy charge. It’s short, to the point and super upbeat. It’s really important today and in these next couple of days to raise your frequency, to protect your energy and to be kind to yourself. Self love is always important but it is especially important now. Thank you for watching! I hope this helps you on your journey! Be fearless and free -Ace
It is the beginning of a new week! Each week, each day, each moment is what we make it; our intentions, our thoughts and our attitude create the reality we live in. I encourage you to take a few moments and think about your dream reality for this week and then realize you can make your dream reality a real reality.
You have the power to live the life you desire, to be the person you desire to be and to achieve the dreams you wish to achieve. You just have to decide to do it.
Ace
Intention is useless without belief behind it. Belief is the spark behind everything, you cannot do much without belief. Give yourself the gifts of believing fully in your true self, believing in your dreams and not believing in your little voice. And always come back to believing in love. Love is all there really is in this world, the rest is an illusion. When you believe in love, you’ll believe in yourself for you are love.
The Universe is always supporting you and and bringing certain things in and out of your life. Nothing is a coincidence, everything has purpose and a reason. Don’t think in terms of “why is this happening to me” think instead “this is happening to me for a reason, what’s the message”. Your perception shapes your vision and your entire reality. So, when something seems tough and unfair look at it from a new perspective and understand the message the Universe is giving you.
You have all the tools within yourself to truly live with freedom. It’s up to you to use them.
More details to come! September 28th I’ll be releasing the album cover, title and release date! I’ve always wanted to put out an album and do it my way with what I love is so exciting. Stay tuned for more updates and amazing videos! -Ace
