I love cosy little nook area's with lot's of blankets and pillows in open empty spaces. Being able to lean up against your wall on your bed and look outside, being surrounded by open windows... So comforting.

Into the Wild (2007)

"So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, comformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun."

-CHRISTOPHER MCCANDLESS

Virgin Suicides, Krzysztof Wyzynski for U+Magazine

A Lifestyle of ‘Being’ - is based on conscious living. A way of living which is born out of love, love for ourselves and our world. It is to live authentically, with the understanding that beauty is within all things; true beauty is holistic.

‘Being’ - is the beautiful space within all of us which is divine, unique, sacred and always present. It is where freedom is found, where we are essentially ‘free to be’.

‘Lifestyle’ - is how we live out of this space, in mind, body and spirit.

A woman who lives ‘A Lifestyle of Being’ is an empowered and inspired individual.

• She believes all women are united in their differences.

• She knows true beauty is not in ‘be’-coming an ideal but ‘be’-ing her divine self; she is her own ideal. 

• She is free to be anything and everything she so desires to     be.

• She believes her life has a divine purpose, a calling. She is fierce in following her heart’s song and refuses to live otherwise.

• She refuses to conform to the masses, so she continues to transform herself out of the masses and into her own distinctive light, therefore she is unique and divinely exclusive.

• She is powerful, mindful, wise, strong, beautiful and alluring.

• She embraces her ‘Being’ without judgement. 

• She does not compare herself to others, but to her own divine values she holds within herself.

• She stands tall, and she is not afraid to live out of her own light, nor does she dull her light to makes others comfortable. Instead she shines brightly, so others may be inspired.

• She loves to live BIG! And she knows how to have fun.

• Most importantly she believes in nurturing herself, in mind, body and spirit. And seeks wisdom and knowledge on how to live her best life now. She understands loving herself is vital to her well being, for without it her inner well will run dry. When her inner well is full, her love and joy overflow onto others and the world. She sets the world ablaze and all is well.

Her ‘Being’ makes the world a better place.
