Through their eyes. ♥️ This is one of my favo

Through their eyes. ♥️ This is one of my favorite photos. It was taken on a train in Spain while traveling around the world for a year. This was a precious moment in time that I captured of my boys, as they were capturing their own, together. As we set out on this adventure, one of my biggest intentions, was for them to truly see what was around them. To feel loved and secure, no matter where they were. To understand and experience the world beyond their own. Although we may not physically appear in the photographs we take, a piece of our soul is seen in every image we capture because we were present to that moment. What a gift to not only be here, healthy and able to capture my own brief seconds in time but how fortunate and grateful am I to witness this life, through the eyes of my children. #familytravel #worldtraveler #love #family #brothers #instatravel #travelgram #connection #adventure #mindfulness #truth #experience #life #train #spain #instamoment #instagood #storytelling #sandygordonfrankfort

The Sun and Moon In the West as the sun sets in the sea, my heart settles a smoldering ember flickering in the ash Seagulls ascend into the twilight The dimly shaded veil protecting and guiding their flight The farewell songs fade in the distance and I am reminded of the peaceful melody in my own The sun has taken it’s final breath The moon has risen from behind the shadows Dusk is upon us The balmy air is still and our words hang between the stars glowing like fireflies in the night sky ♥️ Sandy #poetry #life #truth #writer #reflection #connection #journey #instagood #storytelling #storyteller #heart #mind #wisdom #soul #inspiration #myvoice #mytruth #mystory #writing #writersofinstagram #poetsofinstagram #mindful #mindfulness #peace #hope #sun #sea #beauty #sunset #sandygordonfrankfort

Dreams in Dublin. 💚 I remember this day like it was yesterday. We were traveling around the world and I was always grateful for the obvious and not-so-obvious signs that I was right where I was supposed to be, at each moment. I remember capturing this photo and seeing beyond the generic or cliche term it states. I remember knowing then, as I do now, the hard work it takes to achieve anything; a healthy relationship, happy and thriving children, a united and loving family, a successful career, strong academics, growth and victories in sports, and all else we set out to do in this life. A dream doesn’t have to be something that is beyond our reach or impossible to achieve. It can be our wish for a better world, more peace, better communication, to get on a team, to get into a certain college, to find a healthy companion, or to stop the violence. We can’t just talk about it and wish for it. We can’t complain about it and give up when we don’t see the changes or what we believe is the end goal, coming to life. It is about showing up in each moment. It is about being who you are right now and always taking steps to improve as you develop into the person you are meant to become. It is about standing for what you believe in. It is about knowing who you are and not wavering under social pressures attempting to influence you into being someone else. It is about Believing. Trusting. Knowing. Waiting for clarity as you show up, as you give your best, at all times. Knowing that your best is what you give and the answers will come as you continue to show up in this way. So, I hope this photo serves as a reminder that dreams are attainable. They require placing one foot in front of the other, having a strong mindset, a steadfast work ethic, and the hope that anything is possible. Wishing you a wonderful and inspiring Sunday, ♥️ Sandy #love #brothers #inspiration #dublin #ireland #familytravel #worldtravel #worldtraveler #myboys #uk #aroundtheworld #family #travel #instatravel #travelgram #wanderlust #truth #connection #freedom #adventure #dreams #mindful #experience #reflection #journey #instagood #life #photography #dreamscometrue

We all have at least one person in our life who is

We all have at least one person in our life who is a true friend. The kind who supports and wants the best for you. The kind who tells you the truth, even when it’s hard to hear. The kind who holds your heart gently because they truly know how precious it is. If we all collectively took these friends who come to mind, and we gathered them into one room, we’d find that they each possess a common trait. This particular trait isn’t something of this world; though it’s tangible and palpable. It is uncomplicated, undefinable, and effortless. If you stripped everything away; their smile, their looks, their way with words, their talents and abilities, kindness, strength, voice, and their name; it would still be there. We never really lose them; because what makes them so incredible isn’t something we can see or touch; it is something that becomes a part of us, eternally intertwined with our own soul as a guiding light throughout our journey. You spent years telling me that if I shared my words, my voice would be heard and remain authentic. You believed that beyond the artificial fabrications of happy and perfect lives, there was also truth and opportunities to make a difference. You sat with me for years, mechanically executing platforms for my expression as I enthusiastically showed up to the page with curiosity, wonder, joy, and gratitude. You sat with me as we unfolded and uncovered the pain which I wrote down, but vowed never to reveal. You begged me to write it under another name until I was ready to stand proudly on my own, as myself. I did. I know you are proud and witnessing me now as I show up here, as myself, unafraid, uninhibited, and free. To a true one; Thank you for pushing me to express my voice in this life and for always believing in me. I am here to show you that the time you spent with me and the energy you put toward a wish for me to be liberated and willing to speak my truth, was not wasted. THIS IS FOR YOU, Michael. #life #death #suicide #hope #strength #truefriend #guidinglight #myvoice #mytruth #mystory #authentic #writer #storyteller #gratitude #risingfromthepain #uninhibited #free #unafraid #truth #sandygordonfrankfort #thisisme

Audre Lorde ascended up, brightly and fiercely, 30

Audre Lorde ascended up, brightly and fiercely, 30 years ago today. She was an exquisite Poet, Essayist, Civil Rights Champion, Mother, and unwavering Warrior. In honor of this extraordinary woman with the mightiest character, 30 years after her passing, I share this with you today. ☄️ #audrelorde #warrior #mighty #writer #poetry #poet #essayist #civilrights #cancerfighter #heart #strength #survivor #inspiration #sandygordonfrankfort #challenges #journey #fighter #courage #woman #professor #activist #mother

Morning Meeting. 💙 I can’t help but notice all that is around me as I walk through my day. This morning, my son and I took notice of this scene. It was quite engaging and we were fascinated. He thought the little one was being reprimanded and felt sorry for him. I laughed in the moment because observations like these amaze me when I am lucky enough to witness them. I had to get closer. There was an intensity in the air as we secretly attended whatever was taking place there between these creatures. Perhaps a mama taking a moment to teach as the siblings stand by… Or, the ruler of the neighborhood laying down the laws of her territory… It was a precious noticing and gift as we started the day. #lifeisbeautiful #nature #birds #mindful #mindfulness #today #life #beauty #instagood #connection #reflection #naturephotography #birdsofinstagram #moment #lifeisgood #morningmeeting #sandygordonfrankfort

Showing Up Maybe life isn’t about avoiding the

Showing Up Maybe life isn’t about avoiding the bruises. Maybe it’s about collecting the scars to prove we showed up for it. I feel very strongly about the idea and act of, “Showing Up.” It is a basis for how I live my life and part of the foundation I continually impress upon my children. Life can be difficult. We experience many challenges, fears, and doubts. We are confronted with defeat, pain, shortcomings, failure, loss, illness, death, and whatever else one may consider a battle to overcome. We witness others, firsthand, as they choose to fight and push through or we witness the allowance of fear and weakness to dominate as they succumb and surrender. I am not using the term surrender here to say that we should never surrender or that it is a sign of weakness. I am expressing that when challenges present themselves, we have choices. We can do the hard work and the hard things; even when we don’t know exactly what to do or how to do it. We can choose to see, even what appears to be an obstacle or darkness, as an opportunity. We don’t have to embrace it as truth or in a negative, dreary light and we don’t have to let the hard things take us down. Sometimes, the most important and the most courageous step we can take in a moment; is to SHOW UP. Here’s to showing up today… ♥️ Sandy More on this… Link in Bio. #run #runner #running #runningmotivation #showing up #mindset #heart #soul #mind #determination #perseverance #nevergiveup #life #truth #challenges #journey #inspiration #fighter #storyteller #storytelling #eminem #myvoice #mytruth #mystory #opportunity #hardthings #choices #courage #badass #letsgo
