The Satisfaction of Making Your Dreams Come True

What an enormous difference there is between fulfilling a dream and fulfilling an obligation. This lies in the why, rather than the what. Why am I doing what I just accomplished? Was it imposed on me? Is it what I was told I "had" to do? Is it really what I wanted? Did it benefit only me, or also the people around me and my environment? Did it give me ephemeral emotion or lasting fulfillment?

Let's be realistic: not everything we do in life will be what we truly want to do. But if we ask ourselves these questions before and not after, perhaps we will get much closer to it. The famous and much-desired freedom. It has been a central theme in my life, pursuing me in my deepest dreams and in my most conscious lucidity. 

Today, a few days before launching Omara, I look back at the path I have traveled to make a dream come true, and I couldn't be prouder. Although this is just the beginning, I already feel enormous satisfaction. I have repeated this mantra so many times: "what comes from a place of love and good intention cannot go wrong." I created Omara with my sister to materialize dreams: the dream of doing something that would make me feel free, that would activate my creativity and awaken collective consciousness so that, through art and fashion, we leave a positive impact on the world. As cliché as it sounds, if you know me, you know this is something I have yearned for for a long time.

A couple of weeks ago, on the way to the photoshoot for the first collection, I was enjoying the beautiful landscape of Baja California Sur, deeply grateful for the present moment. I couldn't hold back tears of happiness. I felt the presence of my mother intensely, who has accompanied us for many years in every step we take. Whatever happens with Omara, I am grateful for the privilege of making my earthly dreams come true. 

Much love,
