Hmmm perhaps this is the part that Forbes magazine forgets to mention, the hustle. When you have to scrabble to rebuild a new way of seeing your reality. Doors close. Accept it and move on. Then what? You do what you have to do. Back to working a few jobs to catch up. Fashion is beautiful, but making it a reality takes patience.

Sometimes it takes looking at the grand picture to see the details. What small steps can I do now, to meet my needs? How can I align my life and self closer to seeing even just the smallest fraction of my dream. Lately I have been obsessively watching and reading content about haute couture. For when the journey sweeps you into a space you want to forget. Go back and remember to love. Find the passion for it.

Just watching fabric flowers being sewn and beads twinkling with flashes of light. To give up everything and still have your zest is enough to get you through another day. It is the fire that says ‘come along we mustn’t be late, we can get through this patch both you and I’. You are never alone if you keep to the story of happiness. You will never attain your dream, not really but the journey is the best kind of faith. Carry on an adventure awaits.
