Friends make your world go round.


So I've sat down to try to write a post several times over the last few days and ended up struggling to actually sum up in words all that is happening and my thoughts. Let's just say, there are some big problems happening in china for models right now and it is a very turbulent time..

All I will say is that this whole situation is showing me the importance of friends at a time like this, I have only been here a month.. But these people around me have been my saving grace the last few days, and one positive side to all of this nightmare is that I can say these friendships have become very special to us all. Also, of course.. The amazing people I have back home and actually all over the world that have shared their concern and been there for me. (Btw, apologies if you're one of them and I haven't managed to reply; I'm sorry! Some concern about interception.)

Here's to friends...




With love x

The Monk That Sold His Ferrari

I mentioned in one of my previous posts that I've been enjoying studying a really great book written by Robin S. Sharma called The Monk That Sold His Ferrari, it is a brilliantly inspiring read... One I certainly recommend.  There are so many incredible quotes I could share from the book, so many of the words leap off the page to me with such intense significance I have to keep turning back the pages and re-reading them in affirmation; absorbing them like gospel. It a fair to say this book if quickly becoming a favourite... 'Awaken yourself to the power of your own mind to make things happen. Once you do, the universe will conspire with you to work magic in your life.' 'There was one quotation, however; that he carried deep within his heart; one that encapsulated all the values he had come to cherish... The words came from the great Indian philosopher Patanjali... Julian then showed me the card. The quotation read: When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extra...

To Be Radical; To Love Yourself.

I recently had my sister stay over for the weekend with the twins, my niece and nephew, Lilia and Jude, they are three years old and absolutely wonderful little humans. So kind-hearted and innocent and loving. Lilia is the most beautiful little girl I've ever known, in every aspect of the word.  Whilst my sister was getting jude ready in the bathroom, I was upstairs with Lilia helping dry and plait her hair. We sat together infront of my mirror as I plaited her hair and she sat cross-legged looking at herself in the mirror. The whole time she simply sat and looked inquisitively at herself as she pulled silly faces and grinned at her reflection in the mirror and pulled back her dressing gown and giggled at her nakedness beneath. I smiled with her and giggled along, pulling silly faces at each other and messing about.. but out of nowhere came a sudden rush of emotions and I just had wrap her up in my arms and kiss her half-plaited head and tell her how much I loved her ...

Realisation.

Image
I had a realisation today. Maybe I learnt to let go of the bitterness, maybe I finally learnt to let go of the attachment to the pain I have experienced.. But today I thought about what I have been through and I felt gratitude. I realised this pain was my becoming... The pain was my purification, my awakening to myself and to my karmic duty here on Earth. I went through years and years of self-abuse, destruction and pain. I used to feel a victim of my illness, I used to feel angry about it.. "why me?' But I am no longer bitter about what happened to me, I realise now all of this was a blessing . This experience was such an essential part of my journey. If I had not experienced this, If I had not broken myself completely; I would never have learnt how to rebuild myself into the person I am today. This person is now here to serve and heal others, to teach others from what I have learnt. I now know happiness and peace; but I am only able to realise and appreciate that be...
