October is Here.... and I Love It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Hello All,

October is here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  This is my favorite time of the year.  The crisp air.  The changing of the colors, and of course my birthday.  My birthday is coming up in about 2 1/2 weeks and it is a special one.  I will be turning the big 4-0.  Most people have qualms about getting older and I am one of those people.  However, I look at getting older as a blessing.  Hopefully you have learned the lessons and you are able to move on.  I look back on my life and there are some things that I could have done differently; or I lament over not being where I want to be.  As I really look beyond that, I am exactly where I need to be at the moment.  I am a work in progress.  Society pressures us on what makes us successful.  Success is measured on who you know, what you know, what you have, and where you live.  I am reading a book called The 7 Laws of Success by Herbert W. Armstrong.  What I have read thus far; true success is not measured by those things.  Many perceived successful and famous people have died and what they accomplished have died with them.  The book teaches that materialism (anything you put above the Most High and His Purpose) is fleeting.  It will never make you truly happy.  To most, when you accomplish those things, it is never enough and more is almost wanted.  I think learning to be content no matter what your situation and circumstances are is the hard part.

I have been on a crusade to purge my closet.  My closet is where it needs to be.  I can actually look in my closet and see what I have.  I shop my closet. I have come to the point that I don't need more to be happy.  My husband has congratulated me on my closet's chic new makeover.  My soon to be 40 year old self is not afraid of buying things full price that I really want and fits me perfectly; my soon to be 40 year old self will bypass buying things on sale just because they are on sale; my soon to be 40 year old self will continue to grow and not look back on past mistakes and regrets; and my soon to be 40 year old self will continue to seek a piece of mind along with wisdom and understanding.

Many, many, many, blessings.

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...

I Am Back

Blessings To Everyone, It has been two months since I last blogged.  I have been extremely busy with work.  I was working on a dress for success event with both my employers that includes Ann Taylor.  We created an initiative to teach graduates how to dress for interviews and what to wear for work.  At my primary job, we have to create initiatives along with my current job duties. The event was a success. One of the student models was offered a job at the new Loft flagship in Chicago. I also have been contemplating which way I would like this blog to go.  The blog started out as a self help for me and to inspire others as well. I want to focus on inspiring others. In the past two months I have been out of town to Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York.  Going to New York was one of the things I wanted to do before I leave this world.  I would say that it is part of my bucket list.  I enjoyed myself.  You know I love all thing...

Happy 4th of July

H A P P Y  4 T H  O F  J U L Y  ! ! ! ! ! ! ! I would like to take this opportunity to say Happy 4th of July to all.  I am taking it easy today.  My hubby barbecued some jerk chicken breast that have been marinating over night, some beef hot dogs, some lamb burgers, hamburgers, jerk shrimp, and some chicken quarters.  I did a healthy alternative to my famous macaroni and cheese ( wheat rotini noodles).  We are keeping it light.  My sister is coming over and we are just going to watch some movies and relax.  As an ode to the 4th of July, here are some items that I recommend not only for today, but for all time. Blessings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
