Love Creating Video Tributes

I love creating video tributes. Ever since I became immersed in learning computers many decades ago.

There are myriad occasions on which I produce videos. I find the experience fascinating. 

This skill gives me great joy. 

This ability is related to photos and films. Photo-taking has been one of my ardent areas of expertise ever since I was growing up.

What is commonplace today with smartphone technology was already a talent I mastered a long time ago.

Occasions with friends and family have readily provided me with opportunities for photo sessions and filming.

These activities have given me ample time to develop my technique and versatility.

And the occurrences have been in different parts of the world, throughout my lifetime as I journey through my life.

It seems my life has been centered on serving others, providing joy, care, and compassion.

Tributes to people we honor and admire, celebrating their lives, highlighting their careers, achievements, contributions, areas of notable impact, and our cherished memories, expressing gratitude, love, appreciation, inspiration, and congratulations.

Special moments of people in different stages of their lives.

Parents, grandparents, guardians, relatives, friendships, mentors, teachers, and the elderly.

Videos in loving memories of our loved ones and our pets.

Milestones and engagements in our lives: Birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, graduations, retirements, get-togethers, school functions, and reunions. 

I have created and produced over a thousand of video tributes for friends, family, and private clientele.

It is part of my life, and the life of others, for whom the reels were created. The memories of these video tributes can last a lifetime, sharing our 'life', even with the younger ones. We are thus leaving our legacy for the coming generations.

It is a gift, from me to you, with love.

Continuing My Journey 2026

Here I am continuing my journey in 2026.
I have been very quiet for quite a while.
Resting, contemplating, and dealing with deaths in our family over the last month.

My family has been faced with a couple of our members passing away.

One family is a cousin in Venezuela. I knew her quite well, having spent some time in Caracas with my relatives. She was very kind and very low-key. The time I was there, she was falling in love with her husband-to-be.

Her beautiful spirit leaves a memory in my heart that I still treasure. 

The other family member is related to my younger brother. His wife had a brother who died very suddenly. He took ill and was hospitalized for a short while before his last breath.

The feelings we undergo with such circumstances of human departure - pain, grief, crying, and reminiscing.
We feel old wounds as well as face new discernments.

My realizations from my prayerful meditations are that our God gives us His breath of life for how long He chooses. This makes us think of our time on this earth.

What we choose to do with that God-given time can be a blessing to others.

We grow closer to one another during this time of mourning. We share the memories with each other and we relive the moments.

One of my pastimes was taking photos of friends and family and saving those files in an online database. 
Still today, I have many thousands of photos saved in the 'cloud'.

So, times such as these. I share photos of those members with all of the family. It brings feelings of joy, with accompanying crying and giving God thanks for everything that goes with life.

What this unearths is those we still have with us today. We then learn of others in our family circle and how we are progressing: Who are facing illness, and our call to care for each other with our love and prayers.

"Let all that we do, be done with love."
1 Corinthians 16:14

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7

And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.”
1 Peter 4:8
