Elements of the Kirikou Day

MEDITATION; atleast 15-35 (or more) minutes a day. Practices may vary, but the core intentions: mindfulness, reconnecting with Source, empowerment over and detachment & relief from the mind.

INTENTIONAL MANIFESTATION; Set aside a moment of time to focus on elements one wants to manifest in her/his life. This may be in the form of a vision board, Abraham Hicks' "workshop," or script writing. It is paramount to feel the feeling it will feel when these things manifest. Be the vibration of the manifestations (not the lack or distance from them).

GRATITUDE; Make lists in the morning and evening. List the things you are grateful for in one's life. Really dig in, taste it, milk it, savor it.

GET PHYSICAL; Engage in a physical activity; the kind that turns you on. Trail run, yoga sesh, surf. BE in ones body.

NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU FEELING HAPPY; No argument, need to be right, thing not going your way, point to be proved, not anything, not one thing is worth loosing your alignment with the vibration of the life you want, of Jah. NOTHING is more important that you feeling GOOD. Collect a bag of tricks to get you back to happy - rampage of appreciation, prana, gratitude, focus wheels, virtual reality, a playlist, yoga, lists of positive attributes of your object of intense hatred, an embodiment of your hero, smile, random karma, etc.

Present Moment Wisdom


Whatever the present moment contains accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it--not against it.

Looking forward to seeing artist Jim Drain at Art Basel

I'm so loving Jim Drain and his large scale knitted sculptures. I can't believe I'm actually going to get to see his art and him in action in his studio at Art Basel Miami 2010 (this Friday). Sweet.



Jim Drain is a multifaceted artist whose current medium is knitting and felting sculptures...



“The heart of his art is knitting. After graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1998, Drain started using a friend’s knitting machine and found the meditative repetition pleasant and the results oddly suited to what he wanted to say: hard messages couched in softness.”
(Boston Globe)


Jim Drain on Knitting...
“I learned to knit actually I cheat and use a knitting machine which is still manual but not as portable as two needles or two fingers; anyway, that was in 2000 and I am still knitting like there is no tomorrow, I guess. It is a technology I suppose and it has taken me weird places (seeing clothing differently, seeing production and craft and work/time differently). Knitting is like painting, looking at the shelf, you never know how the colors are going to work together- in pattern, in texture, after being washed or fluffed or felted.”

The Sunny Life

Wow! Those cupcakes are fo real! (see: The Sunny Cupcake post) My afternoon and evening at dearest friends Potato and Regina's home was as sunny and magical as could be! (I must have taken a finger-dip into Coleen's Magical cupcake's frosting!!!)

The Sunny life...

My sun-drenched babes.


One of the most magical amazing gifts from my dear friend and one of my favorite people on the planet, sunny as can be, Regina.



That's the leftovers from our incredible meal. We made Nori hand rolls with fresh organic and heirloom veggies, fruits, rice and 3 special sauces... Where are the pictures of those?


One Sweet Sunny Love

The Sunny Cupcake

I spent the afternoon with ten teenage girls (in the new Space of Mind teen girl group) designing couture cupcakes. We made our cupcakes unique to the new word we wanted our life to take on. Like in Alice in Wonderland, as you eat your cupcake your life magically takes on the idea of your cupcake!

I love these!








(that's a pink long board with white chocolate wheels! SICK!)



Lol! Coleen needs to bite into her magical cupcake STAT!

And... Mine...

Master Cleanse Lemonade





Pure water

Fresh squeezed lemon or lime juice

Cayanne pepper (as much as you can handle or like)

Grade A organic maple syrup

This lemonade is awesome for cleansing, fasting or just enjoying. The lemon and lime cleanse the body and dislodge mucus all through out the body, the cayanne pepper jump starts your metabolism, and the sugars from the maple syrup sustain energy while not taxing the digestive system.
Yum!

Lets Colour Project

Anyone who spends time with me, knows I can't live without plenty of colour in my life. A friend just turned me on2 the Lets Colour Project, and I want the world to know! Started in March 2010, the mission of the Lets Colour Project is to transform gray spaces into vibrant, colourful palaces to help uplift communities. I'm a firm believer in bright colours helping shift a mood, and this project is successfully helping shift collective consciousness with a little love, some brushes, and a whole lotta paint! Go team Colour! Peep the sight, and where they've painted internationally so far HERE... and spread colour love in any lil' way you can;)
