I'm so glad I had the opportunity to photograph Cindy again recently. She and I first met briefly at a Fashmob photography event in Asheville in 2018. I've followed her on Facebook since then, and she is always, always posting positive, happy thoughts and images. She is perfect for my PositiveLight images project, and I'm so happy to have gotten to know her better. There are definitely angels walking among us, and she is one of them. Here's a little more info about Cindy in her own words:

HERITAGE: Native born in Ecuador. My parents brought my sisters and I to USA to have a better life. I became naturalized when my mom was doing hers.

HOBBIES/SKILLS/INTERESTS: Love being creative from making jewelry to now into acrylic art. Love fresh air and hiking.

OCCUPATION: Beauty advisor

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOURSELF?: I am a strong, independent, positive, creative, loving soul. I am always, and have been, working on myself to get rid of negative thinking and be better version of myself.

PASSION/LIFE GOALS: To be the light to everyone I encounter. My art.
