First of all, as I write this, I listen to Beethoven's 9th Symphony, which is a beautiful piece to write to. Perhaps you would enjoy tuning into this also while you read this post.
Sugarbum had a sale yesterday morning at the York Street Spa (in Ottawa). I decided to choose a tarot card the morning of my sale while sipping on Matcha tea (which is full of anti-oxidants and almost the colour of these letters!). I pulled the Adventure card which featured a picture of a young girl walking through the darkness with a vibrant aura around her. Her aura seemed to be lighting the way. I had no real idea what the day would bring, who would come to the sale, or what might be sold. I just had to trust and to flow and to allow things to unfold as they would. Every day is essentially like this, but when you do something really different, something that you realize is completely new, you feel even more so that you are embarking upon the unknown. I was enchanted to find that some very beautiful friends came to support me and I sold a few dresses, which is WONDERFUL in itself and for Sugarbum and also because I am saving up for a journey to Paris and Berlin.
Paris and Berlin: I choose to go to Paris and Berlin because I have not yet been to Europe and a friend posted pics of her trip to Paris on facebook and I instantly felt that I had to go and be a part of the beauty. Berlin is currently the hot spot of all things cool and I would simply LOVE to be a part of the energy where things such as fashion and passion for Life and Fun are really happening. Even as a teen, I thought it would be extra cool to party with people in Berlin because I think that they are really rad and know where it's at and I envision them as having this pulsing raw energy that I could totally resonate with and harness while I am there. Also, Karim Rashid recently helped design this hotel in Berlin called NHOW and since it is new they are offering fantastic deals. So yes, I am saving up to go to Paris and Berlin. Unfortunately I will be missing their fashion weeks by about 2 or 3 weeks but that is okay. Just being in these cities will be like experiencing a fashion show live and direct from whatever cafe/cobblestone road I happen to be absorbing all the magnificence from. Yes, Paris and Berlin.
Furthermore, I want to thank the people who support Sugarbum. I am SUPER STOKED that the energy is so Awesome and Amazing and that I continually inspired to create new things and offer new vibrations to the Universe.
Sending you all LOVE and THANKS,
XOXOXO
