The things that are hard to stomach

One day away from one of my biggest collaborations so far in regards to my clothing line! The Michelle has blossomed into a fabulous project and centerpoint for many of my creative friends and I to unite. How awesome! You can expect a "behind the scenes" segment on this shoot! I'm excited to share the more detailed side of the shoot with everyone. After all, without the details, the final product can't exist. It will be a treat to be able to showcase more steps in the process, I know it will.

On another note, although I do not watch or listen to the news I heard a very vague version of the sad sad events in Paris. My heart goes out to all of the beautiful and innocent souls that passed. My wish is that they felt little pain or terror before they reached each of their personal heavens. As my significant other knows of my profound belief against violence, he made the version short and without many details. Unfortunately the virus of the internet then brought the more "vivid" story to me in multiple different formats of brutality. It brings me comfort to know that in this mass space of energy, all who die will have another go at life. It brings me sadness to understand that our cycle through time, space, and energy will continue on and on amongst with those who still have not learned their rightful place and purpose in life (according to my beliefs of love, properity, and unity). We all learn at different paces, and at different times. Sometimes those who have already learned will suffer due to the unlearned lessons of others. Another thing I find comfort in is awareness. Knowing that its not too late to impact someone via love, and to showcase what fabulous gifts and feelings can come from unity and that space of positive energy is huge. It's not too late to stop the violence. I now have more incentive than ever to encourage an anti-violent space, not only around myself, but also around the world around me. Any friends or anyone looking to be involved in my movement, please contact me. I have countness ideas flowing through me, and am constantly looking for anyone with positive energy, and incentive, looking to join on to my consistantly growing team.

I've found that the news can often lead to fearful tendancies, which is one of the major reasons I choose not to watch or follow it. I don't need to have awareness of these things to care or want to make a change in society, I need to choose, more specifically, what it is that I want to be aware of. I am aware that violence exists, but I am more aware that I do not believe in any acts of violence, no matter what force of religion or justice is enticing them. For those who refuse to accept or choose love, I believe that the only force of change for them is time. Whether it be year and years, or life cyle after life cycle after life cycle. They say some people never learn, but I believe that love will always conquer.

Thanks for reading, and I'd love to hear your thoughts as well!
