Living:"to be great you have to believe in something greater"
"To Be Extraordinary, you have to do extraordinary things,
To Be Great, you have to Believe in something greater"
This is the thought I contemplated as I walked 2 blocks to my car rushing to work as usual. The night before I planned to wake up early to drive 17 minutes to the beach for a nice jog. But the urge to sleep in got the best of me.
If only I could wake up early, If only I could not make staying in bed an option. How can I be someone greater if I continue with the same habits of going to bed early and waking up late?
I enjoy reading about people doing extraordinary things. I have found the most common habit these people share is they "wake up early". While everyone else is sleeping they're awake preparing for the life they are living.
Yesterday I read about Tom Ford. He wakes up no later than 4:30am drinks his coffee and takes a hot bath, then works out.
Today I read about a 70 year old woman who plants a garden of fruits and vegetables and lives a vegan lifestyle. She wakes up no later than 5:30am as a rule she says.
There is so much I want to do for myself in the morning before I go to someone else office.
"I will not let staying in bed be an option". I 've found setting the intention the night before helps in the mornings to come.
Good night,M-

Eating:"Eat to Live"
Eat to live made simple
Salmon broiled and drizzled with tomato juice
Fresh Organic spinach
Red and yellow peppers broiled
Fresh Organic tomatoes
Tossed in a bowl with olive oil
Moving:"a little bit of Country, close to the City"
A little bit of country close to the city is How a friend described Topanga Canyon.
I went on 3 hr hike with 3 friends yesterday at Topanga Canyon trails, followed by a wonderful delicious outdoor lunch ( salmon, asparagus & corn on the grill). Needless to say I went home took a long hot bath with lavender epsom salt. Feeling relaxed and read.

Loving your Dream Process
"A life is measured by the roads we travel and the people we share it with.
This is how we grow; This is how we add light to our world"-adele basheer
In order to live your dreams, it is essential to love the dream process, the journey is the dream.
It's Saturday morning and I am sitting in bed (with coffee in hand) browsing the Fall Winter 2012 collections online from New York Fashion week in hopes of inspiration. After sushi and sake with 3 friends last night at a popular restaurant in West Hollywood I am surprised I'm awake.
But when the urge to be fashionably inspired happens not even sleep can keep me.
Part of my journey as a design student, for the next month I will browse more than 300 collections online daily in order to keep up-to-date on design and market trends. Lucky for me Style.com covers all the fashions shows from NewYork, Milan, Paris and London.
Although I've experienced fashion week in 3 out of the 4 cities, the task to travel all 4 cities and attend more than 300 shows with conflicting schedules and challenging logistics can be tedious to say the least ...Where do I sign up?
So while my Saturday mornings are spent browsing designer collections, my Friday night dinners with friends engaged in meaningful conversation and meeting new people are equally important to enjoying my dream process.
I hope you're loving your dream process. pics below from jason wu f/w 2012

Where do you start your Dream?
Have you ever wanted to do something but didn't know where to start?
I have been inspired by fashion for sometime now but didn't know where I fit in.
I learned to sew by hand when I was only seven. Fast-forward twenty seven years later I launched and designed a fashion boutique full of Italian-made shoes in Beverly Hills. At the time I thought this was a match made in heaven. Nope!
I continued to dream of my own fashion label but didn't know where to begin. I went to Paris for inspiration and returned to Los Angeles after 6 months with a vision but still didn't know where to start.
I researched different fashion design programs around the world only to enroll at the local community college where Rick Owens CA native studied fashion design. He currently has a fashion house in Paris.
I wanted to learn the basic principles of design. And this is where the story really begins.
I just left my Fashion Design and Sketching class (Day 2 this week) and I am so excited. So full of emotions! How do I describe what I'm feeling?
My instructor called a break and I continued to work, continued sketch, practice over and over again.
Finally, my dream has begun. That moment of bliss I'd search the world for through my travels and now I've found it. But this is only the beginning.
If you have a passion or dream and don't know where to start take a class at the local community college to ignite the fire within. You will become aware and the courses are inexpensive.
Talk to the people in class and the instructor to gain an understanding of the course objective and compare that to what you want to learn. Above all follow your instincts.
Let's join in the journey together in living our dreams.

Living the Dream
Living the dream is believing in your dreams.
Today was the first day of my Fashion Design and Sketching class and I sat next to the girl that obviously knows how to sketch already. "I thought, Why is she here? So not good for the ego". I stopped!... slowly pushed away the fear. (positive talk) I know fashion culture, I have a business background, I will have to practice sketching daily.
I breathe in and out and suddenly those negative thoughts go away.
Some people say seeing is believing but you have to believe even when you can not see clearly.
In order to live your dreams you have to believe your dreams will come true.
Below are some images that inspired me in class.
