Healing spirit

Surfing around the web today I found this incredible image that I want to share with you along with a story about my life

My father passed away three weeks ago and it was quite a transforming experience for me. The past 6 months I was mostly away at my parents house trying to help my father heal. I read books about nutrition, about emotional and spiritual healing, I searched for answers everywhere. It was very hard for me seeing my father like that and not being able to help him but I understand now the gift that I've been given along with this experience. The healing must come from inside and you must heal yourself before being able to help someone else.
I am at peace now and I thank my father from the bottom of my heart for everything he did for me. I send him my love and I receive his.
I hope you will feel as inspired as I was watching this beautiful "Healing Spirit"
THANK YOU!

Pieces of the Puzzle

I was invited to participate in Project Reconstruction where we had to remake one man shirt (or more than one, as I did) in something else wearable. Here are the pants I've made :)

The magic of FLOWERS

I mentioned before I looove flowers. I wished for flowers for my birthday that was a few days ago and here's what I've got :)

Don't worry, the radiator it's not working... and that's not so great considering that outside it's snowing, but we'll survive. Any warm thoughts are wellcomed :)

I wish you flowers and send you happy vibes!

Free and healthy

I mentioned before about my new diet. Actually it is not so new for me. It has been a process of 4 - 5 years, and looking back I'm so glad and thankful I got so far :)

5 years ago, I had my first job, in a software company. I had a few extra pounds and a few allergies so I decided to start learning about nutrition. I started taking an organic suppliment that was helping with the detox of my body and along with it I needed to eat at least 70% raw foods, no meat, no dairy. It was pretty easy and I felt great. At that time I didn't consider this diet as a lifestyle so after a few months I went back to my old diet but I reduced the meat, I only eat a few times a year. But I was still eating dairy and cooked foods. In time, after reading more about nutrition, the idea of eating raw vegan started to get bigger in my head, but I felt like it's a very big step for me and I wasn't ready. In time, I totally stopped eating meat, after a while I didn't eat any dairy or eggs and I tried eating as much raw fruits and vegetables as I could.

So here I am, 5 years and lots of books and blogs, forums and documentries later, 100% raw vegan. Let us look at some "before" and "after" pictures :) I always loved that on other people and now I have the chance to do it. I'll let you guess witch is witch. Maybe the visible changes are not so incredible but I sure feel different, lighter and healthier than ever :)

New ideas

I went shopping for some new fabric today. I found this beautiful greish blue embroidered fabric that I think it's going to end up being a dress

This suuuper comfy, soft green cotton knit that I'll use for the Romantic Wanderer dress and the yoga pants.. and who knows what else ;)

And in this grey special fabric I see a funky skirt!

If you have any more ideas please let me know :)

Spring is here

Today spring came bursting into my heart :) with nettles and primulas

I was a bit sad and I went for a walk. I went to the local market where I always love to look at the coloured fruits and vegetables and smell all the freshness of the living foods. I found nettles for the first time this year. I was sooo glad! Like I have received a beautiful gift :)

I took the nettles home and made some green juice. yam, yam! :)) Not really yammy, just kidding, but very nutritious and energizing! Walking back home I fell in love with this flower and took here home with me also. I love how flowers always make me feel. Each and every time I look at them I feel joy. I see and feel the perfection of nature!
I realized today that you cannot be sad or depressed in the spring. Just get out of the house and the air, sun and singing birds will make you feel perfection :) Just try it!
yesterday I got one step closer to my wedding dress making this Snowdrop little white dress http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=41254956
