Being Thankful for All of the Good Things

Here in Chicago, the buzz is centered on our now defunct Governor Rod Blagojevich who has just been sentenced to 14 years in federal prison for selling President Obama's former Senate seat. The judge emphasized that Blagojevich threw away his position of being the top appointed government official in a state which is compared to the President of the United States for money. Blagojevich was in a position to help the constituents of the state of Illinois; instead he didn't aspire to be an honest Governor. Governor was beneath him, he wanted access to a higher paying job and power. Now Blagojevich is on his way to serving a 14 year prison sentence without money and power.

As, I was watching him and his family on television today, it made me realize that we have to be thankful for the things that we have. It is great to have aspirations for more; however we must be grateful for what the Creator has given us and use it for good and not our own personal aspirations.

Dooney and Bourke Leather Janine Satchel

Good Evening All, This week has been rather hectic. Dealing with family issues and job interviews at the same time. All is good and the Creator is in charge. I had purchased a Dooney and Bourke bag about two months ago to store my keys, ipod and identification when I workout at the gym. The bag wasn't a great choice and I end up exchanging the bag for a Dooney and Bourke Leather Janine Satchel in gray. At first I didn't really like the Janine Satchel because of the size. I love big bags; however since I have lost over 20 pounds, big bags are starting to overwhelm my stature. I wanted a gray bag because I wear a lot of gray outfits and have been unable to find the perfect gray bag. There are many different shades of gray that tend to be a little taupe or have a bluish undertone. This bag is more on the heather gray side with the beige vachetta accent. It is the perfect bag for the warmer months. The leather reminds me of the Prada S...

Dooney and Bourke Florentine Smith Bag in Royal Blue

Good Morning All, I have been enjoying this nice Chicago weather we have. It has been around 70-80 degrees for almost two weeks now. It is kind of creepy. I went to Culver's yesterday to get one of my favorite treats, a three scoop lemon Ice and while in the drive through I see a big bumblebee. Spring is definitely in the air. I am waiting for the ball to drop. Will we be getting 6 inches of snow in May? Anyways, I got a new bag. Well, I exchanged a bag that I had bought about two months ago for this bag. It is the Dooney and Bourke Florentine Smith Bag in Royal Blue. I had purchased this bag in white/tan for the spring and had a change of heart. I like white bags; however, they don't wear well. Eventually they will get some kind of color transfer from denim or they will yellow overtime. I have a Chloe and Marc Jacobs bag that did that. Well, the bag in my opinion is not royal blue in person. It is ...

Happy New Years 2015!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

. Blessings to All, It has been a long time coming for this post. The last time I blogged was back in May 2014. Fast forward to January 1, 2015. I am very happy to see another year. I am so glad that 2014 is in the past. Today is a time to look forward to new opportunities. On my agenda this year is to get better and wiser. I am on the path of eliminating baggage out of my life. I am very much interested in the minimalist movement. A minimalist voluntarily simplifies their life. It can include buying less things, reducing consumption, working less, and even eliminating toxic things from your life. I always admired the Japanese culture. They practice minimalism; however some may argue that is due ...
