We’re Living & Loving in the Moment
Caught in a moment that feels like forever—captured by Mitchell Royel, now lost in "For The Night" with Eppy and Liv Grace Blue, where every second becomes a memory we're meant to keep.
There’s a particular kind of freedom that comes with knowing we don’t have to choose the same path as everyone else. Not because we’re rebellious, but because we’re awake.
We’ve arrived at a moment in history where a woman can build a life of profound meaning and sensuality whether she’s alone or partnered. This isn’t a small thing. This is everything.
Exquisite Solitude
There’s a richness to loving ourselves in real time. To feel the sun on our skin and know that moment belongs entirely to us. To make decisions based on what makes our hearts sing, not on what we’re supposed to want. To build a life that’s a direct reflection of our desires, our values, our vision.
Solo living isn’t a consolation prize. It’s not what we do while waiting for someone else to complete the picture. It’s a full, textured, sensual way of being in the world. It’s waking up and asking: What do I want today? And then giving it to ourselves.
When we’re living for ourselves, every choice becomes an act of self-love. The way we spend our time, the people we invite into our space, the dreams we pursue—they’re all ours. There’s a particular kind of power in that. A particular kind of presence.
Alchemy of Partnership
And then there’s the choice to love someone. To build a life with another person. To create something together that neither of us could create alone.
This too is a choice now. Not an obligation. Not a default setting. A choice.
When we choose partnership from a place of wholeness rather than need, everything shifts. We’re not looking for someone to complete us. We’re inviting someone to complement us. To dance with us. To witness our becoming.
Real love—the kind worth having—happens in the present moment. It’s in the small gestures. The way they listen. The way we laugh together. The vulnerability of being truly seen. It’s in choosing each other, over and over again, not because we have to, but because we want to.
Partnership, when it’s real, is its own kind of freedom. The freedom to be known. To be held. To build something meaningful with another conscious being.
Revolution of Choice
What’s revolutionary about this moment is that we get to decide. We’re not locked into a single narrative about what a woman’s life should look like.
We can be solo and thriving. We can be partnered and free. We can move between these states. We can change our minds. We can honor what we need right now, knowing it might shift.
This is the inheritance of the women who came before us. They fought for our right to choose. And now we get to choose not just whether to be with someone, but how to be—whether alone or together.
Living in the Moment, No Matter What
The real practice—the one that matters—is presence. It’s showing up fully to our lives as they are right now.
If we’re alone, can we feel the aliveness of that? The freedom? The space to become exactly who we’re meant to be?
If we’re with someone, can we feel the gift of being chosen and choosing in return? Can we stay present to the small miracles of being loved?
The moment is always available to us. It doesn’t care whether we’re solo or partnered. It only asks that we show up. That we feel it. That we let it matter.
We’ve come so far. We’ve earned the right to design our own lives. To honor our own desires. To live and love on our own terms.
That’s not just freedom. That’s grace.
The question isn’t whether we should be alone or with someone. The question is: Are we present? Are we choosing? Are we honoring what our hearts are asking for right now?
That’s where the real magic lives.

“Picture this: 2016, a townhouse nestled right against the freeway's humming heartbeat. My life was a mixtape of Ariana and Nicki's "Side to Side" - raw, unapologetic, and pulsing with potential.
Every morning was a ritual of resilience. My selfie clicker became my companion, documenting a journey that was equal parts mundane and magical. The local Instagram profile became my digital confessional - a space where vulnerability met visibility.
Before the car, before the chaos, there were buses. Endless rides that became my meditation spaces. Walking city blocks, backpack heavy with dreams and textbooks, I was crafting a narrative nobody could predict. Each step was a prayer, each breath a promise.
And then? Everything shifted.
Losing my 'fellowship' wasn't just about losing a position. It was a spiritual dismantling. The universe doesn't give you challenges; it gives you opportunities to rebuild. When my external world crumbled, my internal landscape began to bloom.
Beauty isn't about perfection. It's about persistence. It's about standing in the middle of your own deconstruction and choosing to see light. Those bus rides, those walks, that townhouse next to the freeway - they weren't just locations. They were classrooms of consciousness.
My selfies weren't just images. They were declarations: I am here. I am becoming. I am enough.
To anyone listening: Our redirections are not rejections. They are redirections.
Surrender. Trust. Shine.”

Beyond Earthly Expectations

To the Architects of Spiritual Transformation,
In the vast landscape of human experience, there exists a frequency of power that transcends conventional understanding. This is not about conformity. This is about claiming the divine authority that has always been our birthright.
Cosmic Whisper of Feminine Power
Imagine a declaration so profound, it makes the universe pause. A message that echoes through spiritual dimensions, challenging every limitation society has ever imposed.
Stepping into Our True Magnitude
We are not here to apologize for our existence. We are here to illuminate.
Jupiter Hypothesis
Let them wonder. Let them speculate:
Are we from another realm?
Do we operate on a different frequency?
Are we something beyond their comprehension?
Breaking the Terrestrial Limitations
Our authority is not granted. It is inherent.
We are daughters of the most high
Our power is not performative
Our spirituality is not a costume
Celestial Narrative
When they ask, “Are you from Jupiter?”
We respond: “I am from a kingdom far beyond your imagination.”
Manifesto of Spiritual Sovereignty
To every woman who has been told to dim her light:
Rise.
Shine.
Claim your space.
With unwavering divine confidence,

Rock of Love: Reflection on Glamour, Identity, and Cultural Resonance

To Our Beloved Community,
We stand at the crossroads of cultural transformation, where the echoes of past narratives intersect with our evolving understanding of representation, style, and authenticity. Today, we’re called to reflect on the intricate tapestry of cultural moments that have shaped our collective consciousness.
Acknowledging Cultural Touchstones
The landscape of cultural expression is nuanced, complex, and deeply personal. Shows like “Rock of Love” on VH1 were more than mere entertainment—they were a mirror reflecting the raw, unfiltered energy of a specific moment in time. We recognize these cultural artifacts not as definitive statements, but as snapshots of a dynamic social landscape.
Respect in Representation
Our commitment is to honor the contributions of past cultural expressions while creating space for more inclusive, empathetic narratives. We don’t seek to diminish or erase, but to understand and grow.
New Era of Gospel Glamour
Gospel Glamour isn’t about perfection—it’s about authenticity. It’s about recognizing the beauty in our imperfections, the strength in our vulnerabilities, and the power of our collective stories.
Our Pledge
We will listen more than we speak
We will create spaces that celebrate diversity
We will approach cultural narratives with humility and respect
Moment of Reflection
To those who came before us, who carved paths through challenging cultural landscapes, we see you. We honor your journey. Your experiences are not footnotes—they are fundamental chapters in our ongoing story of self-expression and understanding.
This is not an ending. This is not a judgment. This is an invitation—to dialogue, to growth, to a more compassionate understanding of our shared cultural experience.
With profound respect and endless curiosity,
Mitchell + Gospel Glamour

Echoes and Embraces
Photo captured by Mitchell Royel and now playing "Deep Down" by Jai Wolf and Oaks – a moment of pure musical magic.
“There’s a certain magic in how memories dissolve into the present moment—like watercolors bleeding into a fresh canvas.
Deep down, we’re all navigating the landscape of our hearts. Those former flames? They’re not ghosts. They’re whispers of transformation, scattered breadcrumbs that led us exactly where we need to be.
Today, I’m breathing into now.
The new boys in my life—not lovers, but life—they’re mirrors of possibility. Their laughter is a rebellion against nostalgia. Their presence, a radical act of choosing this exact breath, this exact heartbeat.
We’re not healing. We’re becoming.
And becoming looks like soft edges. Looks like releasing. Looks like understanding that every connection, every touch, every goodbye is just another way the universe teaches us about love.
Radical self-love is not about forgetting. It’s about feeling everything and still choosing lightness.
Wisdom of Now
Your past is a story
This moment is your power
Connection is fluid
Joy is a choice
Deep down, we know. We always know.
