One of my favourite things about photography is watching people grow.

If I’m lucky, I get to work with someone multiple times and witness their evolution firsthand.

This weekend I photographed Cherry Rose for the third time and it was electric. There is something so special about her.

So I went back to the first shoot to see if that magical frequency was there too.

It clearly was.

These photos are from my first photoshoot with Cherry Rose. This was 6 years and several lifetimes ago for the both of us.

Cherry Rose, it’s been such a treat watching you grow over the years.

I can’t wait for our next play date.

Big love,

D

I used to go to bed at 4AM. I was convinced I was NOT a morning person. 

Now I know I most definitely am a morning person, I’m just NOT a “wake-up person”. These are 2 very different things. 

For the past 3 years now I trained myself to wake up at 4:30AM. 

This would sound totally insane to the the old me. 

The reason I do it is because I have discovered that the hours of 4am to 7am are easily worth 3 times as much when it comes to productivity and CREATIVITY. 

I literally feel like I get 9 hours of work done before most people are awake. 

In this video I share a few of my fav tips that have helped me wake up before 5AM. 

Big love!

For me there is no better feeling than creating.

It feels like I am dancing with God.

It feels like riding my bike on the first day of summer, when I was 10 years old.

It feels like everything is possible. 

I’m really lucky to be able to create so many different things in my life, but sometimes it feels like my connection to my heart and my art is a million miles away.

I use to get really frustrated and down on myself when I ran into a creative block. Sometimes I would also get scared that maybe I had reached my limit for creativity in this lifetime.

In this video I share 5 TIPS I personally use when I’m in a creative rut and am feeling creatively blocked. 

Hope you enjoy the video and feel free to share a few of your own tips for dealing with creative blocks in the comments below or you can DM me too.

Love,

D

I have recently been thinking a lot about death —  particularly my own. The idea of death has been finding me in my dreams and also in my waking life. 

I don’t mind. I actually appreciate it. Reflecting on the limited time I have left here on Earth helps me focus. 

I keep going back to the same question…”If this was my last year as Darius what would I leave behind?”

Recently I’ve been making some fun How-To YouTube videos, mostly on how to make better videos and how to look and feel great on Zoom. 

I love making these videos and you guys seem to appreciate them too. I want to keep making How-To videos that help people CREATE more cool stuff…

AND…

I HAVE SO MUCH MORE I WANT TO EXPRESS AND CREATE BEFORE I LEAVE!

The truth is we all have a last breath that is looking for us. 

My last breath might find me in 50 years from now or it might find me in 50 mins from now. 

When it finally does, I want to do everything in my power to make sure I don’t leave this earth and this body with light trapped inside me. Light that never got a chance to shine bright.

Hey Y'all! ⁣⁣⁣⁣

I wrote this mediation on Friday for the Artist Morning community. I really love this thing and wanted to share it with you awesome humans on Facebook too. ⁣⁣

It's great as a guide to help you calm any nervous energy down. It will also help you GET CLOSER TO YOU HEART and lastly, it's fun for any CREATORs out there who might be feeling unfocussed or stuck. ⁣⁣

From my heart to yours...

This past summer I FINALLY launched my first online program.

This cracks me up because I hesitated for so long, waiting for the “perfect” moment. What’s funny about that is my “perfect moment” ended up landing in the middle of a global pandemic that essentially shut down the world’s economy. Nothing perfect about that. 

One of my goals was to see if I could generate $10k with my first program. I ended up making $13,500 which was really cool. I also probably learned more in these past 12 weeks than ever before. 

In this video I share 7 things I wish someone would’ve told me before launching. 

Hope you enjoy the video. If so, please subscribe to my YouTube channel and share the love. Each week there will be new videos including more how-to videos, podcasts, tutorials and guided meditations to help Creators prosper. 

Much love beautiful humans. :)

This video series entitled, “Heart to Mouth” is an experiment to see what happens when I turn my camera on immediately after my morning meditation.

“Flow” is the closest we can ever be to God (aka The Universe). When we flow and are present in the moment, our hearts fill up with light. That light is direct access to pure abundance and infinite wisdom.

In my opinion that light is meant to be released and expressed to its fullest. When we share that light that shines inside our hearts with the world, it allows us to live authentically, but it also presents an opportunity for others to recognize that same incredibly light inside of themselves.

During this particular morning meditation, the DM (direct message) from the Universe was guidance on how to change the world.

Glad to see the Universe is starting nice and slow. ;)
