Sooooooooo what do I say about me...I am a self-learner in fashion designing www.mariaristidou.com (men and women apparel)even though I studied a B.Comm degree in Canada and an MA in Career Counselling in UK(don't even comment about the second one).In my last show a week ago I realised that at the end of the day no matter how the job you are into, is competitive and risky, is the job satisfaction that counts. So, people, NEVER EVERRRR give up your dream whether this is a career or a personal issue....Im on the first step,but I believe slowly and steady, things will start to move on and reach my goal.

The more self-love we have, the less we will experience self-abuse. Self-abuse comes from self-rejection, and self-rejection comes from having an image of what it means to be perfect and never measuring up to that ideal. Our image of perfection is the reason we reject ourselves the way we are, and why we don’t accept others the way they are. XOXO D.
Every day a new flower rises from your body's fresh soil. Don't go around looking for fallen petals in a fairy tale, when you've got the golden plant right here, now, shooting forth in light from your eyes, your awakening crown.
Don't make lists, or explore ancient accounts. Forget everything you know and open.
Blasting, billowing, bursting forth With the power of ten billion butterfly sneezes Man with his flaming pyre Has conquered the wayward breezes Climbing to tranquility Far above the cloud Conceiving the heavens Clear of misty shroud
Higher and higher Now we've learned to play with fire Go higher and higher and...... higher
Vast vision must improve our sight Perhaps at last we'll see and end To our own endless blight And the beginning of the free Climb to tranquility Finding it's real worth Conceiving the heavens Florishing on earth
Higher and higher Now we've learned to play with fire Go higher and higher and higher
