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.
