M.I.A

Life sometimes throws us some incredible obstacles. It is testing our patience, it's our stress test, just like the ones performed by the government recently on our banks. How much can you handle? What is your breaking point? Also, what are you doing wrong that things get thrown back in your face. You're not going according to the flow of life. You are fighting it.

So I survived this stress test, I feel good, better than I thought I would, I thought I'd feel discouraged. I feel a renewed sense of optimism. It is fleeting at moments, but those moments occur when I start projecting into the future. When I am aware of "now" and this particular moment, life flows and feels rewarding and good.

Here's an image from Zurich's "Z" magazine, thanks to my pal David Vandeval. This was such a surprise, such a wow my work can look that good, wow I can be a part of fashion in a way that I never thought I could. It's inspiring, rewarding and fun.

Thank you David! Thank you Nico!
