My Life: Vol. 1

Illustration: Marcos Chin

Yesterday I wrote the last page of my life story, Volume 1. I've officially made a u-turn from my career in fashion to continue on my spiritual yogic path. I'm not starting a 'new chapter' in my life. I'm starting a new Volume because I believe I'm living 'Part 2' of my life. Volume 1 holds my life from birth to age 35. It's filled with happy memories, such as family vacations, figure skating competitions, personally escorting Cyndi Lauper into a NY Fashion Week show - just to name a few. As well, to maintain life's balance, it's filled with painful memories too.  There's the time when my mom pulled me out of my high school fashion show due to slipping grades, or my countless hair dying nightmares, and of course, having to repair my broken heart a few times. Everything works in parallel, so overall, my happy and painful memories are somewhat equal.
Volume 2 went into production today as I taught my first yoga class in 5 years. Thanks to my dear friends, I shared my yoga knowledge in hope that they'd connect both physically and spiritually. As I begin Day 1 of my new journey, a sense of calm fills my spirit. At this moment, I'm meant to give to others through teaching yoga and its spiritual benefits. To get to the root of my truth, it took time, patience, practice and dedication. If you're at a crossroad in your life and you really, truly want to be guided in the right direction, be prepared to invest in your higher Self. This is your time to connect to your divine spirit, with an open heart, a willingness to listen, and the patience to honor the process. Be loving and kind to yourself so you can manifest miracles supported by the Universe.
If you take anything with you from this post, let it be to always trust your heart's desires, so you may serve in a way that brings love and happiness to yourself and others. May your life in print, be so rich with inspiration, that it'll top the New York Times best sellers list!
