What’s New Wednesday

blog ads

There is so much going on.  A new year, a new motto, a new saying.  The weather in Chicago changed, it finally got cold.  But I suppose that was to be expected.  So for those of you who don’t know,  I decided that 2016 would be my Year of Yes.  I still need to read the book, (thanks Shonda Rhimes), and I still have a lot to wrap my mind around.  I also decided to select a theme song for the year “Happy Feelings” by Frankie Beverly and Maze.  There is something about this song and these lyrics that transport you to a truly happy place. and place where you are in love, in tour with life and you can feel the light of the world surrounding you.

I realize I have spent too much time worrying about how things will work out and being practical about how to make this happen or how to make that happen.  I realize that I have been afraid to succeed and in many instances have sabotaged my growth because of that fear.  So this year in saying YES, I am saying F— fear.  I am saying YES to life, to growth, to development, to opportunity and to all of the things I have held myself back from.

I also have some uncompleted projects and some new things on the horizon.  I have made some major decisions and I will be making some major life changes.  I will be taking my followers along on the journey.  Thing that were once not a priority in my life will now become a priority.  I plan to make this an awesome year.  What’s New this Wednesday?  My attitude and my outlook.

There are so many new and exciting opportunities coming my way.  I have opened my heart and my mind to stop allowing what I am afraid of to keep me from where God wants me to go.  I am looking forward to growing. What are you looking forward to?

 

Stay Fabulous and Stay Blessed

Well Winter has finally arrived.  I do not know whether I am happy or sad.  I guess the sooner it starts the sooner it will be over, but we had been enjoying some great weather in the Chicago area.  So the 60 degree days are gone and now it is time to pull out the boots, coat, hats and gloves.

I know the pictures look dark and gloomy and that was an accurate depiction of what outside was like.  Fortunately, once I got out there in the snow, driving was not as bad as I thought it might be.  So where was I going?  I had a new appointment with a new fantastic nail artist.

Elevate Day Spa

I was recently referred to Elevate Day Spa for my manicures.  I love it.  Danielle, the owner is phenomenal..  She was professional, the space is beautiful and she did not have 5-6 clients waiting.  She was attentive, timely and helpful throughout the process.  I will definitely be returning in two weeks.

The manicure came out awesome!  I love the color and I also love how my nails feel.  I have been having trouble with my nails chipping and breaking and being too soft.  Now my nails feel strong and I am not having the irritation that I was having from going to my other nail salons.  I am thankful to Lisa Paige for the referral to Danielle.
