On the eve of my birthday, my friend Christos Garkinos of Decades Inc. and the forthcoming new Bravo TV series “Dukes of Melrose” took me out to dinner to the chic Fig and Olive on Melrose Place. As always, a fun time was had by all!

Thought of the Day.
Every day may not be perfect or meet our expectations. One of my dear friends once said “Every day can’t be lollipops and rainbows”, which is so true. Like you, I’m prone to my moods and challenges even when the sun is shining. We deal with disappointments, frustrations and so forth – but I’m a firm believer in counting blessings not woes. So, “LIVE” “LOVE” and most of all keep your sense of humor and “LAUGH” – it’s always good for the soul!

I’ve taken the plunge!
Thought of the Day.
Each day brings a fresh opportunity to start over; not to mention an entirely “new” year. There’s weight to ‘new years’ – because we have all started with a fresh slate to create a new book of chapters for ourselves so to speak. Nothing happens overnight, so I say be patient, realistic, resilient and passionate about whatever the “it” is for you. This attitude will sustain through disappointments, set-backs and doubt. One thing that I’m mindful of is always to remain in a state of gratitude – especially in rough and difficult moments. There’s always something to be grateful for – being ‘alive’ is always a great start.
I’ve been diligent, patient and even let some desires go deeming it just wasn’t for me, at that time or ever, as I’ve blogged before. On Tuesday January 8, expect the first of what I hope to be many exciting announcements for 2013.
Remember not to worry about the expectations of others – if you try to please everyone you’ll whittle yourself to nothing, lose yourself and wonder what happened. Just keep setting daily small goals and larger long term goals to those things that light ‘your’ fire within. Here’s to new chapters for all of us – which sometimes require a lot of patience and faith – along with ‘the work.’
