It's time to follow him

To the heart!

For over 8 years I heard the story of... what does your heart tell you? And the truth is that it didn't tell me anything. I didn't hear anything, and I just thought that question was very silly.

However, time passed, and I began to understand a number of things I never thought I'd study, comprehend, or practice. Among these things was listening to my intuition, which, thanks to much meditation and observation, I understood and began to feel like it existed.

2020 arrives, a few months before the pandemic hit, I had decided to put a hold on the business I had at the time, image consulting, which took me for many years to understand myself and deeply study the root of people's tastes in clothing, silhouettes, colors, and I discovered some insecurities and beliefs that all humans have when it comes to dressing.

I was very sad, and my ego still couldn't accept it, until the mandatory quarantine momentarily arrived in our country, which managed to completely pause everything I had been doing.

I don't know if this has happened to you, but for me it was like life was sending me messages and I was so stubborn that it stopped me completely in 2020.

For the first time, I had a lot, a lot of time to practice the million things I had wanted to do, like Vipassana meditation, which I highly recommend if you're curious.

And during those months of a sea of ​​emotions, a longing came to my mind and heart that became a transcendental question;

If not now...when???

What is it that if I were to die tomorrow I would regret not having done or lived?

The answer was obvious! Immediate! In fact, I was impressed by the clarity I felt because the answer to that question came from a longing I'd had since I was a little girl!

I want to create my FASHION Brand!

I've felt the call to creativity all my life. From a very young age, I played with scraps of fabric from my Bita, who was my creative angel growing up. With her, I began to love everything that came into my hands. We made fabric flowers, things with ribbons, crafts of all kinds, and I even held my first hat parade with some friends. All thanks to my Bita (grandmother).

When I was older, I used to sell coloring pages to my classmates at school, and even when computers came out, my dad had bought me the Barbie Design! program! I spent HOURS playing that.

When the time came to choose what to study in "real" life, I hesitated a lot, since fashion wasn't a well-known career in my family, much less something that made a living easily. So, my doubts got the better of me, and that's why I decided to spend a year studying English in England.

But time passed, and the longing remained in my heart. So I returned to Colombia and began my studies as a fashion designer. I did tell my family that if it wasn't the right career for me, I'd at least finish it and then see if I could study something else. But that never happened, haha.

What did happen was that I became more and more specialized in how the industry worked and, as they would say in my country, I prepared more than a yogurt!

But life always has other plans to help you grow, I spent several years doing and exercising other skills that were not connected to fashion.

I was very disconnected from myself, believing myself to be playing the game of the world. The game of making money and working for a living.

However, at some point in all of this, an opportunity for growth came into my life, and that's where the path that redirected me to my intuition began.

So, to make a long story short, today I am absolutely grateful for everything that happened to me so that, despite all the fear and at the same time certainty, I could start my brand.

Today I honor the heart that has always guided me even though it has been in a mute state for some years.

And I truly believe that when we listen to each other, truly, life flows, the journey begins to be more fun even if there is a lot to do, and the peace that remains in my heart after listening to myself is priceless.

I invite you, if there's something you're not yet willing to do, to ask your heart for support, as only there will you find all the answers.

The heart is right! always!

With love,
