the details... of "2010" & the I Do's...of "2011" LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGIN!



This Year we're going back to the BASICS
for Bringing in the New Year

Can you believe the year is almost over? It seems that the older I get the turning of the clock comes faster, Is it just me who thinks that? So many wonderful things happen this year that I'm pleasantly pleased with, however I did learn a few life lessons along the way.  The most important part is when you encounter circumstances that may not go as plan do you buckle under the pressure or do you pick your head-up and move forward even better & stronger?  I take a hard look at the situation & re-evaluate the steps that brought me there. Did I see signs along the way & completely ignore my navigation?  The New Year is about making changes re-evaluating absolutely everything in your life and making a new. If something isn't working then take steps to change it so you'll live a more fulfilling life.

I thought I was done with  my personal goals for "2011", but just added one additional item to the list. If you have written down resolutions for "2011" & come January 20th something else comes-up; add it to your list-Do not ignore. You may not complete everything, but visit your life actions daily, so the more you dedicate time & effort to the better results you'll have. It's all a process & as long as you are working towards the process eventually you'll see "RESULTS".

I  try to always  provide positive words of wisdom to my friends, clients & associates which we call drezrehersal Tips... I am a person who believes in saying it like it is and not sugar coating it. One thing my friends appreciate from me & know if they want it real ASK KIMBERLY.  Why would you even want someone to tell you what you want to hear verses what is the right thing you should  hear? It's key to be in-tune with yourself  so you recognize certain situations along your journey in life.

drezrehersal Tip... Recognize reading people's subliminal motives and assess who is a true ally and who to avoid at all costs ;personal or business.

Time to say Goodbye to "2010" & Welcome in "2011" Looking forward to a fantastic year of fulfilling my dreams, new opportunities & new relationships all while Living, Loving & Laughing through this journey we call Life. We only have one so why not make the best of it.

A few of drezrehersal Status "2010" In Review 

Thank you for sharing this journey with us. We have many exciting details that will take place in the New Year. I'm really blessed to have a career which I call a "PARTY" that I truly LOVE with every breath that I breathe. My Theme for "2011" is: the 3P's

PASSION~PLAN~POWER

PASSION~ Stoking the fire, desire, strength
of conviction, and drive
 that sustain the discipline to achieve the vision.

PLAN~ Clearly defining a detailed outline to live my best life.

POWER~ Having Grace, Faith, Hope and
following the footsteps of GOD.
Next to life itself, the power to choose is your greatest gift.
We are self-determining through our choices.
 It's your life ~your journey
"You" decide to have the freedom to choose.

GLAM'ONDAY ALERT... CASTING~TAKING YOUR POWER BACK!~SEQUEL

Less than a week left until its "2011"  What are you changing if anything at all? Change is good and there's no time like the present to make re-writes in your life. Why do I say re-writes? Well life is much like a movie, a true story which you are the lead cast member. Every movie has a storyline sometimes its a feel good , action, love story, drama & even a thriller. First step to a movie is the writer. There must be a writer to get the storyline going. Once the script is complete you need to pitch it to the studios, then start the casting process that also includes who the director & producer will be. Does any of this sound familiar yet? Let no one write your movie but you, it's your life & your journey. Should you decide you want a feel good movie with a love story ending or do you prefer lots of drama that can ultimately be a thriller in the end? Create a vision board & set goals for where you like your life to be. Start small & do 2-3 yrs out and once you get the hang of it re-write do long term 5-7 yrs. If you can see it daily you'll be able to envision the storyline even more.

Who's the Director of Your Life?

Recently I watched the WIZ for the umpteenth time. One of my childhood favorite movies, which brings back feel good feelings, since my Nana took me to see it when I was about 10 or 11 yrs old. The first time seeing it I didn't quite understand it completely, but loved the music & storyline & hearing Diane Ross singing When I Think of Home. I get chills every time I hear that song very powerful. If you really listen to the words it says a lot. The older I got the more & more that song meant to me. That you could achieve & be anything in life if only you Believe. The WIZ is a perfect movie if you are trying to Take Your Power Back. Cast: Dorothy-Wanted to get Back Home ;Scarecrow- Wanted a Brain; Tin Man- Wanted a Heart; The Lion- Wanted Courage. Long story short in the end they had everything they needed all along, but just took sometime to BELIEVE.

So let's review: The Writer: (You) Producer: (You setting goals)  Director: Following God's footsteps & not mans footsteps and Cast: Surrounding yourself with like minded individuals who are on the same path as you. There's an old saying my mother use to tell me. You are the company you keep. If you want better you must allow yourself to be better. It's OK if something isn't working, just know when its time to move on & end the sequel. Create a movie of substance that you can be proud of & want to re-wind ,play all the time. Those are the movies to be cherished that you can always pull out watch over & over. Just as I do with the WIZ- I learn something new each & every time I watch it.

GLAM'ONDAY ALERT...TAKING YOUR POWER BACK!

With the New Year quickly approaching it's not only a time of celebration, but also reflection. Reflecting on what's working & what isn't working in you or around you. I had a conversation with a good friend recently on "Taking Her Power Back".  An Aha Moment shared between two friends the power you recognize in yourself, however have a momentary set back to please someone other than you. I often share with my clients, friends & associates; If you're no good to yourself, how can you be good for someone else.

GLAM'ONDAY ALERT... means more to us than just beauty & fashion. GLAM'ONDAY is about sharing, connecting with ones true self to make them a better person in life. That inner beauty that shines beyond you & brings out your best qualities, which in turn radiates to others.

I'M TAKING MY POWER BACK...




"POWER" is Glamorous-not a controlling power where one runs the opposite direction of you because they see you coming. To be a strong self-sufficient individual where you're completely in control of your life & lead by your example & not what you think others expect or want from/out of you. If you have lost yourself in some way "NOW" is the time to take your "POWER" back and let your true self shine through. You are a priceless jewel that exceeds ever definition of Glam. In order to achieve this surround yourself with like minded individuals who are on the same path as you. No, I'm not saying they need to be exactly like you, however in order to achieve Greatness you must surround yourself with Greatness. Individuals who hi-light your enthusiasm & not drain it like they are taking a vile of blood. You can totally tell when someones energy has been kidnapped. How? It shows on your face the natural radiance you desire to have with a life of peace & happiness has been kidnapped. A Fabulous Life of pure happiness is out there for you to enjoy, so grab hold of it and don't look back.

drezrehersal Tip...There's no better time then "TODAY" to make CHANGES for "2011". If you face it head on "NOW" you're likely NOT to crash & burn later.

GLAM'ONDAY ALERT... BEAUTY, FASHION (MAYBE) CHARACTER (YES)

Being GLAM isn't just about Beauty & Fashion...Having a good character compliments the inner essence of being GLAM. What's inside is much more important than what's on the surface. Be your true authentic self  & you'll never need to cover-up with material things of the world.
Make-Up & Fashion are just accessories that compliment you & aren't who you are. Once you take everything off & look in the mirror, Do you recognize who is looking back at you?


drezrehersal Tip... Mean What You Say & Say What You Mean. Be Real, Be You, Be Unique, Be Authentic and above all have a GLAM Character that will take you far beyond the trends of the season.

BITTER to BETTER PART II


In the Process of Finding & Loosing
Love~ You Found You...

A Mini Love Story on Finding & Loosing Love
Read BITTER to BETTER PART I

You arrived & showed up ready to go with your sweet nothings & overzealous ways to impress & court me 100%. The journey of us wanting to know one another more is amazingly blissful, my heart can barely contain the steady beats, but my head is saying GIRL please this isn't a fairy tale this is reality & you better get real & recognize the storm is coming. You take a moment & evaluate the situation as if its a business plan, but should be more like a partnership out-weighing the pros & cons. Before you know it a revelation has presented itself! This could be the best relationship you have ever encountered, just what LOVE should be. You start to understand the only storm that is coming is your past meets present. You're bringing past hurts into your present & turning something GREAT into "BITTERNESS"  from the past. Just because you were disappointed in the past doesn't mean its your present.

One thing women need to learn is how to release past hurts. What you're holding on too as luggage can jeopardize your future. Life is about many lessons- you either get it or you continue to go through life with a knife in your heart that you just can't seem to pull out. So as you try & move on to the next relationship you wonder why your heart still hearts.

What needs to be the Life Lesson is God has a "BETTER" plan for you. Yes, that old saying you need to kiss a few frogs to receive your prince. It goes both both ways- its called dating for a reason. Don't get wrapped-up & all involved in the dating process & mistake he/she for Is This The One? Before you can be 100% with your future prince you must be one with yourself. Love You~Learn You~Be You before you can be a friend, girlfriend, wife to your prince. He's out there & waiting for you, however your time-line & plan is not what matters. Once God is complete with you , he will openly send you your destine mate because you are now open to receive & be a "Better" you.

Align your gifts, talents & know you deserve "Better".  It's God's priority for you to have a mate that will honor you & cherish you as the Queen you are. From this day forward step out of "Bitter" & move towards to "Better". Leave your past hurts in the past so you're able to openly receive your "Better". Relationships take work, however know when Bitter should be Better & if you aren't receiving respect than its time to pack your bags, honor yourself and move on to the present, as there's a "Better" prince in your future.

drezrehersal Tip... Act in Faith & not Fear, that its God's plan for you to recognize Better want Better because you deserve "BETTER".
