SURRENDER
I am fortunate to live 5 minutes from the Lake Shrine Temple in Los Angeles. It was founded by the famed spiritual master Paramhansa Yoganada. I try to attend one or two of the weekly meditation and prayer sessions they have and always benefit greatly. Inner peace can be accessed and developed through the simple yet profound practice of meditation. There are many methods of meditation that will yield results. The practice is quite similar to physical exercise in that you have to do it and often to get the benefits. And like exercise it becomes quite addictive because of how it makes you feel inside. More peaceful and more self aware. Its great and I highly recommend you try. You will grow in peace and compassion. So what does this have to do with Fashion? Well real beauty is an inner quality that radiates outward when you are experiencing peace and love. Things are slow in the fashion business these days like many other industries. We are all interconnected and I am reminded how much work and cash flow is generated when a photo shooting takes place. Models, photographers,hair stylists, producers,caterers,drivers, clothing stylists,agents,make-up artists etc. are all working and making money. a product or clothing line is made to look desirable and of course this stimulates people to spend money. This is good. I often felt the job of a model was insignificant or shallow but models just help the economy roll along and that is good. Just a small contribution. There isn’t a Nobel prize for modeling but every little bit helps. so I will be happy when I get my next call to go strike a pose and help create some wonderful images and work with all the super cool and great people in the Fashion business!! Lets get this economy rolling!! And of course lets practice love and compassion with ourselves, our families,our friends and everyone!!! Lots of Love and Peace to All. Bruce Hulse

Hi Bruce. Pixie just directed me to your site. Wow. Your professional path differs from most Cornell grads, and you have allowed your spirituality to guide you as it did at Cornell. Congratulations. Just returned from a trip to Ethiopia to visit my daughter who’s working at an orphanage there, and I felt the beauty and peace of a meditative world that you describe. It’s a beautiful thing when beauty and peace co-exist, and it’s a goal so many of us share. Cheers.
