Once upon a time...

Once upon a time is the section where I will post some compelling and interesting stories about how other women are empowering other women. This is also the section where bloggers will think: "wow! that same thing happened to me, but I didn't know you could solve it like that!" or "wow! why am I not doing it?"

Eco-friendly fashion made by Girls for Girls

Last year my friend Andrea, an amazing Spanish teacher at a local school in Astoria NY, had the brilliant idea, along with her students,  to create an Eco-friendly fashion show. The girls were given the tasks to design a piece of clothing completely out of recyclable material, and  model it on the catwalk.  I remember talking about it with Andrea, seeing the passion for her students and the project. The motivation, dedication and work were clearly reflected in the success of the event. 

Humans have an innate desire to create and learn, and it is important to find ways to stimulate these interesting skills. Moreover than going to school, these girls were put in a situation that would trigger their imagination in a different direction. I love the idea of doing something outside the box, the more challenging the more I know the learning experience is worthwhile and everlasting.  Innovation is vital for our continuous journey and it is beautiful that it came from a group of girls that represent the future of women in the US.  My friend Andrea has invited me to the upcoming fashion show 2011 and I can't wait to be there and experience the devotion, commitment and enthusiasm that Andrea and her students give to this beautiful show.  I will keep you posted on dates and location of this event and  I hope to see you there, dear blogger, supporting and empowering these girls because they deserve it.

Who are we and where are we going?

Dear blogger:

I want to welcome you to my blog and let you know that this is not only a place for me to share, but for you too. Many times I've met women around the world with many questions and in different situations that are common to all of us. Let it this be a place where I can share some of my stories, my life experiences and a place to empower you to reach your personal goals. For a long time I wanted to find a way to express the many reasons to improve ourselves but most importantly to love ourselves. Have we found ourselves in the office thinking that we won't be able to pull it through? Have we found ourselves giving our best to a relationship and feeling not enough for that person? Have we found ourselves questioning what others think about us and questioning our integrity, desires and self-esteem? Yes, I have felt like this before. I have good news for you, all will be fine because as long as you love the person that really matters, you, everything else will come into place. Trust me, you will find yourself and will fall in love with you. You will feel ready to take over the world and the world will fall in love with you because of your confidence and self worth.

So this is where everything begins...This is a journey that will take me with you to explore all the beautiful things in life and discover the power that lies within you.

Let's start by repeating: I love me because I am worth it.

Let's rock this blog!!

xoxo

Your dear girl blogger.
