Like Audrey Hepburn

Bob Willoughby's Audrey Hepburn. Photographs: 1953-1966 comes all wrapped up in vintage Tiffany blue. This limited edition book costs a whopping $700, but you can view the online version for free at Taschen.com.

I watched Breakfast at Tiffany's for the first time when I was 11.
And so began my affair with love.

I've been sick like Audrey Hepburn ever since.

Girl on the Run



Images: Elle Espana

I have been fighting a very strong urge to up and run away all day.

I am so restless... I feel I'm a girl on the run.

I'll breathe a sigh of relief as I make my escape. I leave for Panama in 13 days. Sigh!

And I'll even wear my hair like hers: Model Cristina Tosio in Elle Espana, November 2010.

Manifesto


Image: Eugenio Recuenco

I did something.

A year ago, on the counsel of a shaman and coincidentally on the eve of All Hallows, I made this list. You could call it a "wish list" but two single-spaced pages (front and back) addressed to: The Universe seems more a letter.

At the time, what I wrote seemed impossible. But that was precisely the point. It was supposed to be the most I could imagine. And as silly as it may have seemed, it was my honest and genuine wish for my highest and greatest good.

Just last week, I moved out of my apartment on October 31, 2010 -- Halloween night when I stumbled upon my boudoir's little secret. Hidden between my mattresses, I found my long forgotten letter. I got chills. It was a year to the day that I wrote it. As I read it, my heart skipped actual beats. It was impossible but my letter had taken corporal form.

I'd been blind to my own good fortune.

Time changes everything. Even a very short time. What I wanted -- the most I could imagine is absolutely possible and right in front of me. It manifested.

It wasn't a wish. It wasn't a list. It wasn't even a letter. It was my manifesto. My declaration to the universe of what I intended to have. And I still want it in my bones.

Believe and make wishes come true.

Sensible Advice

The thing about life is that it just keeps happening.
Not to you. For you.

The thing about people is that we're always looking for advice. When in truth, we already have the answers. Have the sense to listen to yourself.

My life is happening for me. And I know I have all the answers I need for today. Have a great and wonderful day. :)
