Fun with a fabric pen

What you need: an old tank top or a tee-shirt or whatever you want to write/draw on, and a fabric pen (any color I used black). Draw a little bit and voila: fresh uplift to a regular tank top. I drew the OM symbol and rocked it to my yoga class. I will defiantly create more. I love it. You should try it, for yourself or as a gift for someone. People really appreciate hand made things! Have a great day!

The beautiful Miss Love

My graphic design classmate and friend: the beautiful Cassandra Love inspired my itch to create with my camera just by passing by in the hallway of the school, outside one of my classes with her hair straightened out. She usually wears it curly, which is gorgeous. But something about her that day, gave me an instant vision :). So we hit the photo studio and spent a few hours just diving into the pool of black and white photography. She is such a talented, business minded young woman that will do big things in this world, watch out for her. This is one of the photos from our session. More to come! Enjoy it. Thank you for taking a look at my blog.

Yoga & Leadership Intensive in Miami

I had the opportunity (thanks to supporting family, great mentors at my school and a generous scholarship award from the organization itself) to fly down to Miami and attend a specific leadership training that I have been wanting to attend for about three years now. Usually this training occurs during the fall semester, somewhere in the Cali-area, far far away from where I am and always during the very busy school times when I cannot go. This year OTM's Leadership Training was taking place in the month of May when the school semester was over and I was truly lucky to attend. IT WAS MY TIME and MY TURN to experience this! It was a Yoga, Purpose and Action Week-long Intensive for yoga teachers, community leaders, and activists, or anyone interested in making the world a better place, really. Hosted by the lovely yogis: Seane Corn, Hala Khouri, and Suzanne Sterling. Ever since I was a child I have been wanting to make the world a better place and I tried to, in my own small ways. Guided by my heart and hearing the calling of nature and animals I would offer free community cleans ups in my neighborhood, cleaning up everyone's back yard whether they wanted to or not. I was so connected to Mother Earth I felt like I was giving her a scalp massage when i was crating the leafs of the lawns lol. I picked up trash, candy papers, cigarette buds and fallen leafs and placed it where it should go. If I was riding my bike and saw a road kill, I would stop and bury it wishing it to rest i peace. Very connected to nature and animals. Will my calling be something that has to do with the environment or animals today, Im not sure. But this particular training was designed to help us see our path in which we want to take our yoga to the next level. It was an opportunity to for one to discover the connections between the yogic path and the way of divine service or Seva. -During 5 days in sunny florida, yogis from all over the country (and other parts of the world too: France, Greece and Canada was in the house, and hello: SWEDEN!) experienced a combination of yoga asanas, meditation and visualization, experiential exercises, process work and rituals with the practical tools of communication, organizing and collaborating and we all grew so much. I made new friends and left with skills to help me become a more effective leader and agent of change in the world. Some of these amazing people that I met are all ready agents of change in the world, some are just starting and some will start in the future. Terri Cooper (owner of 305 yoga studio in Miami and the reason for this taking place in Miami) has one cool story that you should check out: www.yogagangsters.com. Amazing what one can do with will and determination. She is one manifesting b*&%#h. Hehe. Im veyr inspired. This intensive was really...INTENSE....very deep. There were days when I thought to myself: "What have I signed up for now". It was alot of crying, releasing and laughing. Mixed emotions. I learned alot. How to effectively communicate with myself and others (ongoing process for me as I have not been the best communicator and one of those people who prefered to not confront anything but rather retrieved in)). I learned crazy amazing tools for dealing with trauma and how to stay WITH my experiences fully present. Seane Corn is a "star" and amazing at what she does. Learning from her is always expanding my consciousness. I had never before met Hala Khouri or Suzanne Sterling and therefore I didn't know what to expect but let me tell you WOW. What a perfect combination of leaders. They all are so different and contributed so much with their own unique voices. I learned so much from all of them and I am so inspired to spread the vibrations that was cultivated within me and within us all during this intense week in Miami. )What exactly will be my calling, is not yet clear to me. But in the mean time I will serve where my service is accepted. IT IS TIME FOR SEVA! ( Selfless service of the world) NAMASTE! I also got to re-connect with an old friend from Sweden who opened her doors and welcomed me in to her house for a week. It s always great to re-connect with old friends! But it was even greater to come back home to my castle and my King! Borta bra, men hemma bast! as we say in Sweden :D
