I&#8217;ve spent much time developing my business life and chasing results that are out of my control. I&#8217;ve decided to focus solely on the art itself. It&#8217;s why I started it to begin with. The purpose \u00a0of my work is\u00a0expression of myself and something that greater than me. Something calls me to do it because there is a need for it in the world. Which is why I&#8217;m here. I&#8217;m living spontaneously. I do a shoot because I feel like it. I write a story because there;s something to say. You can&#8217;t tell me when to create. Because it&#8217;s not me who is creating. I can only do my best work when I&#8217;m in the flow. I&#8217;m just the vessel for inspiration (in spirit) to be expressed. Anything less is a waste of time. I no longer question my urges anymore. Because I realized these are God-given soul desires that have to be listened to. Everything else will take care of itself because it&#8217;s divinely ordained timing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/AndreaMai_Flowers-2638.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4802 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/AndreaMai_Flowers-2638.jpg\" alt=\"AndreaMai_Flowers-2638\" width=\"1090\" height=\"727\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/AndreaMai_Flowers-2646.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4801 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/AndreaMai_Flowers-2646.jpg\" alt=\"AndreaMai_Flowers-2646\" width=\"727\" height=\"1090\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/AndreaMai_Flowers-2630.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4800 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/AndreaMai_Flowers-2630.jpg\" alt=\"AndreaMai_Flowers-2630\" width=\"727\" height=\"1090\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/AndreaMai_Flowers-2623.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4799 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/AndreaMai_Flowers-2623.jpg\" alt=\"AndreaMai_Flowers-2623\" width=\"727\" height=\"1090\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/AndreaMai_Flowers-2622.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4798 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/AndreaMai_Flowers-2622.jpg\" alt=\"AndreaMai_Flowers-2622\" width=\"727\" height=\"1090\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/AndreaMai_Flowers-2621.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4797 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/AndreaMai_Flowers-2621.jpg\" alt=\"AndreaMai_Flowers-2621\" width=\"727\" height=\"1090\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/AndreaMai_Flowers-2620.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4796 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/AndreaMai_Flowers-2620.jpg\" alt=\"AndreaMai_Flowers-2620\" width=\"727\" height=\"1090\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/AndreaMai_Flowers-2619.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4795 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/AndreaMai_Flowers-2619.jpg\" alt=\"AndreaMai_Flowers-2619\" width=\"727\" height=\"1090\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some thoughts I&#8217;m having tonight&#8230; In the last couple of weeks, I&#8217;ve decided to live my life completely in the moment and follow where the wind takes me.
