RE-ROUTE...ARE YOU ON THE RIGHT TRACK FOR 2013?

Twenty-Twelve is almost to a close  for some that means it's time to make promises to yourself, resolutions to the universe, or adding new and improved lifestyle  goals to twenty-thirteen's agenda.  For others it's a time of soul searching and cleansing. Where do you stand as of today? I must say for myself this was a year of renewed spirit, re-discovery, obstacles, and tested blessings.  Tested Blessings are things, situations,  and people God wants you to see.  Life isn't perfect and on a occasion the universe will show you just that.  How you deal with it can be seen as a blessing or barrier. Opening yourself up to the blessing of making changes is God's way of offering a subtle whisper.   Ignoring the whisper only makes the sound louder.

This year I not only had several plans re-routed, but also monumental changes to key individuals in my circle. While re-positioning my team, I also had to be a supportive associate, partner, friend, sister, daughter and most importantly "Child of God" just to name a few.  As various blocks were removed from my life, I also came to realization that this was a year of re-structuring.  Re-structuring is a blessing from God for you to re-build the foundation. When your foundation isn't strong the structure will start to slip and if you're building a structure on a high mountain over looking the most beautiful existence of landscape. That's a pretty high fall to take without the right team. 

Location, Location, Location...

In order to position yourself  on the right location it may call for a new construction team to design the future-scape you so desire.  In doing that comes with consequences; Consequences that associates, friends, and family may not understand.  But it order to have a well diverse team that  supports the foundation, YOU the owner must make changes that not every one agrees with.  As we're going about our day-to-day in life one must keep in mind one word- "LIFE." It is your life and you can only live it for two people yourself and God.  This is why it's important to have a productive, positive team in place who supports you immensely. Through the clear sunny days, cloudiness, fogginess, and turbulent  storms. 




God will often take you through what doesn't feel good to receive something far greater. Although directions are giving along the way, God's Positioning Satellite (GPS) may not always be followed.   Life is about having the right seeds to plant to produce a harvest of substantial blessings. If there is a bad seed planted during your season, you'll need to dig deep and start from scratch.  Starting from scratch is a phenomenal opportunity to get things right. Right equals re-setting the navigation, Right is having another chance to re-plant better seeds,  Right is God's way of saying "I love you", Right is re-routing  while aligning the tools to create a harvest that you "RIGHTFULLY" deserve.  As we say good-bye to twenty-twelve do not feel guilty about leaving the bad seeds behind.   Twenty-Thirteen is the beginning of a New Season.  In order to produce the harvest you desire its time to plant seeds that produce growth.

Soulful Reminder: Luke 8:15 And the seeds that feel on the good soil represent honest, good hearted people who hear God's word, cling to it, and patiently produce a huge harvest. (Holy Bible NLT, 2007).

You can't excel to the next level without passing the test and passing the test always comes with a Testimony.  Share your testimony with our readers so they may experienced a year of substantial harvest in "Twenty-Thirteen 2013."

Until next time (2013) live FABULOUS...

Food for the Soul...Unconditional Love

Unconditional Love

No conditions, only commandments

Two words I receive questions on all the time. "Unconditional Love". Exactly what is the meaning of "Unconditional Love". Although, there are many answers I'll share one that is close & dear to my heart. In order to fully give of yourself to another, you must first trust the process that you are capable to embrace all that love has to offer. Stage One: the details...

My love for you is unconditional. I'll go the the ends of the earth just for you. You say stop, drop and roll, I'm down no questions asked.  I'll continue to follow your footsteps, trust in your word, believe thy will be done and have complete faith in the process. Why? Because you'll do the same for me.  That's the kind of love you're deserving of.

Soulful Reminder:  "I have revealed you to them, and I will continue to do so. Then your love for me will be in them, and I will be in them." John 17:26 Holy Bible NLT (2007)

GLAM'ONDAY ALERT~BIRTHDAY LETTER COUNTDOWN...



31 DAY(S) COUNTDOWN UNTIL BIRTHDAY!
BIRTHDAY LETTER STARTS
SEPTEMBER 1ST...

Today we're taking a different direction to our GLAM'ONDAY ALERT... Each week we bring you all things Events, Fashion, Beauty and on occasion Food for the Soul Tips & Suggestions. Today is special as it starts my thirty one day countdown to what I call each year; A moment in time to not only celebrate me, but also reflect on the year. If you haven't guess yet... The correct answer will be my "BIRTHDAY".


LET'S GET IT STARTED...


Every year I write a letter to myself which reflects on ; Where I've Been; Where I'm Going and How I Can Be a Better Me. Last year "2010" my letter consisted of many transformations.

• 2010 Birthday Letter In Search of A "Better Me".
• Each day up until my Birthday~September 22nd I shared on my Facebook Page Reasons to a "Better Me".
• In Closing Wrap-Up, Final Thoughts & Happy Birthday To Me.

This year I have a special title, which I'll share on September 1st. Hopefully my thoughts and learning experiences this past year can help at least one individual make changes for where they are and P.U.S.H (Push~Until~Something~Happens) to follow a dream, a goal or a promise you have made to yourself. There's no better time than the present to get started. I've come FULL CIRCLE once again and I'm humbly thankful for the simple pleasure's of life. The bigger picture in life is nice, but I'm just ecstatically grateful for "BREATH" each day. Thank you heavenly father for giving me that and as long as I follow your principles there will be greater pleasures in store for me.

Placing your desires down in writing holds you accountable for your life. What you don't accomplished or even try. You have no one to blame but yourself. If you take anything from this post today know GOD has a better plan for your life. He expects nothing but goodness & greatness from you. Expect the same for yourself and come with me on this journal to share my Birthday Countdown. I would love to motivate, mentor and most importantly be mindful of your dreams. If you like ideas on how you can get started, please send ASK KIMBERLY an email, Tweet Us or post your comments here.

So Let's Get It Started!

This song is one of my anthem go to songs. If it doesn't get you motivated I don't know what will. (SMILE)

Until next time live FABULOUS...

GLAM'ONDAY ALERT...HOORAY FOR SUMMER




Time to Exhale and Let Go...Its SUMMERTIME!


HOORAY FOR SUMMER... Are you excited as I am about Summer? We're only into week one; although the weather hasn't been cooperating that shouldn't stop us from preparing for what we know will be a great summer season. Placing positive energy into the universe is definitely a start to what you desire for yourself. Place it into existence and it shall be. The next few months for me will consist of weddings, events, business functions, networking, continuing day-to-day business operations. And through it all I still must put time aside for me. Regardless of what is going on, always make time for self. You only have one life and as I always say you can't continue to be everything to everybody while not taking care of you first.

Summer should be a time of exhaling. Letting go of all the responsibilities months prior. As a child growing-up didn't you look forward to summertime? Why stop now as an adult? Close your eyes and let's experience the goodness of summer... Take a deep breath while I'll take you on a brief vacation to experience the goodness of summertime. Smell the fresh air, have a nice cold glass of lemonade, put your feet-up reading a good book, sitting out by the pool, placing your feet in the cool ocean, running along the beach with the wind  flowing through your hair, having a picnic at the park with someone special, or just taking a scenic drive. It's just that simple... "ENJOY LIFE".  ENJOY your surroundings, ENJOY the simple things, ENJOY family, ENJOY friends, ENJOY breathing tranquility, ENJOY time alone. If you're not enjoying life than there's no time like the present to make a change.

First Step: Make a list of what you desire to change and post it in a place you can see it clearly each & everyday. Second Step: Take Action...Viewing the list everyday makes you accountable for what you place in the universe. Third Step: Go for it... As you put changes into action, make sure to have positive people in your world along the way. Making a change just may be to eliminate those who really don't have your best interest at heart. I call them pity party monsters.

drezrehersal Tip... If you feel you're loosing yourself in day-to-day responsibilities. Just remember to live for today. For tomorrow will take care of itself. Keep this one word in mind when things get bumpy "ENJOY". Life will be more blissful if you keep this in mind. No one can create your happiness, but you. Live in the moment and just enjoy what god desires you to have. A life of abundance. Don't get discourage if you don't see immediate changes. Having faith is essential. Faith is confidence in that we  hope for and assurance about what we do not see. ~Hebrews 11.1 NIV

To recommendations to "ENJOY" this Summer.

GLAM ALERT...SUMMER $PECIAL$

Summer's here, that means its time to hit the beach or spring for a tropical vacation. If you're on a budget the best place to do your summer shopping is the Fashion Outlet's. Every major city has at least one. You just need to locate the stores that have the best deals. Saving funds on a summer wardrobe leaves you more for taking a weekend or 7 day vacation.  Below are 5 Must Have Summer Suggestions for you to consider.  The best place to get you started is the outlets. Here's an inside tip: Should you like a better deal, than sign-up for your chosen fashion outlet location VIP Club or Newsletter. This will provide you a heads-up on additional  discounts from your favorite brands and often freebies with purchase.

Hitting the outlets at least twice a year is a guarantee for my fashionistas and I.  My chosen outlet locations are the PREMIUM OUTLETS. A convenient location we often visit is the Camarillo Outlet located in Ventura County. The girls & I get an early start on a TGIF and head down the 101 freeway stopping for a nice breakfast along the way spending a couple of hours at the outlet, then continue down the coast to Santa Barbara for the remainder of the weekend & sometimes even an extended vacation. Santa Barbara will consist of spa treatments, more shopping and of course making a stop in Solvang. They have the absolute best restaurants for breakfast-Crepes that is. You can't visit Santa Barbara without visiting the vineyards for wine tasting.



5 Summer Must Have Suggestions: Whether you're staying local or traveling this summer? You'll definitely need the following items.


1. Beautiful, durable, chic affordable luggage on wheels with pulley.
2. A fabulous summer wardrobe that consist of day wear, afternoon wear, cocktail hour, evening festivities, sensible undergarments, sexy lingerie and no girls outfit is complete without a variety of shoes to select from.
3. At least two pair of sun glasses with UV protection, The perfect swimsuit, cover-up, beach towel, sunscreen, lip balm, good book-nook, Ipod, and camera.
4. Summer Satchel that's large enough to hold your glasses and all the essential items a fashionista needs.


DOONEY & BOURKE OUTLET EXCLUSIVE


 5. A good attitude. Summer is a time for relaxation. Leave the Do Not Disturb sign on the door for anyone who wants to steal your joy.

* All the items above you can purchase at the outlets. Now you make the choice of purchasing at full retail price or 40%-70% less.  Remember summer is only a couple of months. You'll be putting the clothes away at the end of August. At least you should be.



drezrehersal Tip...In order to have a summer that exceeds all expectations try to let go, do something you normally wouldn't do or visit somewhere you've always wanted. Doesn't matter if its with a significant other, friend(s) or by yourself. Just let go. Leave all your cares & worries behind. It's perfectly fine once in awhile to say "I Remember Me".



Disclaimer: The Dooney & Bourke June Specials
are only available at their outlet stores. Product
available while supplies last. * The Camarillo Outlet doesn't
have a Dooney & Bourke store.

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.

One Daughter's Message to Finding Closer...

God has a season for everything. You go through life with dreams & aspirations for your future believing having faith that one day it shall come to path. Life comes with disappointments but its life altering moments that make you stronger & hopefully you're able to move forward. Growing up our parents should protect us from the evilness of life, they are there to mold you to be the best woman/man you could be. Not expecting the worse, but hoping for the best protecting us from day one. As an infant they watch you take your first crawl, then your first step, then hear you say your first word. Every little thing you do that's your first; so adorable, so cute, memories that will be embedded over a lifetime. They want to share it all with the world because you are their most precious gift .


drezrehersal Tip... Closer can be very healthy.
In order to move forward in life-sometimes you
need to leave the past behind. Find Closer so you're
able to continue on your journey through life.

Phase I: Dropping you off at kindergarten really not wanting to let you go a tear drops from your mothers eyes-you say mommy whats wrong oh sweetie nothing at all mommy just has something in her eye. The mother tells her daughter have a good day I'll be back at 1:00 pm to pick you up. Little does she know you never left the school grounds sitting, waiting & watching her footsteps for that first day of kindergarten.

Phase II: Now it's time for elementary; you're a little more at ease but the pain of letting her go once again isn't easy. You go through all the do's & dont's telling her make sure you pay attention to the teacher , be on your best behavior, make mommy proud. Watching your children grow can be the most precious gift in life especially when the parents are their 100%. You go to your parents for guidance, direction & un-conditional love. What happens when that suddenly stops your love one is no longer there? Your chapter isn't quite complete yet, you have more phases of your life that parent/love one is unable to see; high school, college even your wedding day. Those milestones moments you reach in life wishing your love one could be there to share are suddenly no longer.

The older you become you question God's reason for taking your love one away. Why you ask over & over? There is a season for everything & what you didn't understand as a young child, as an adult you now get it. You weren't being punished it was just that parent or love one season. Although in the physical presence they are no longer there~In spirit they are still there 100% just like they were when you took your first step. Memories are just that a precious gift that is given to you from God. Hold it close & dear to your heart for the presence will always be with you as you continue on your journey through life.

We are all here for only a short time. Live life to the fullest tell those who are closest to you just how much they mean to you. Whether if its I love you or telling them something special that made an impression in your life. It only takes a minute & they can be gone so quickly. Here today gone tomorrow will you be at peace? Only to think if I just had more time, I never got a chance to tell them just how much they meant to me. Don't let your pride get in the way, if you have something to say Do It Now~Say It Now. And know that once you do; you, he or she will no longer wonder what they meant to you. You'll be at peace knowing that everything  you shared will be an embedded memory for a lifetime until you meet again.

I CAN SMILE AGAIN...

This post is inspired from a recent interview Rihanna gave to Marie Claire UK for their December issue. Rihanna reveals in a cover story in the December 2010 issue of Marie Claire UK. Access Hollywood reported that she told the magazine, "I feel like I smile for real this time. The smiles come from inside, and it exudes in everything I do. People feel my energy is different. When I smile they can tell that it's pure bliss and not just a cover up."

RIHANNA EXCLUSIVE
in Marie Clarie UK Dec Issue
"I Smile For Real Now"

I'm truly happy for Rihanna in expressing to the world just how she feels after going through probably one of the most difficult times in life.  Although Rihanna is in the public limelight and many think they deserve to know her every move; simply not true. A entertainer by profession but when the the studio session is over, awards shows are a wrap and you're trying to go on with your normal day-day activity, she is still human. Someone who has happy times as well as disappointing moments. We all go through trails & tribulations over our lifetime hers was/is just magnified by the media, which makes it even more difficult.

That's why I'm inspired to write I Can Smile Again. Who doesn't want to smile everyday? What does that exactly mean? For me its a no brainier something I choose to do without any excuses or negativity by those who want to be the victim in life. I've expressed in a past drezrehersal Tip... Know your "WORTH"only you can put a determination on whats real & whats counterfeit. Everything that glitters isn't always gold. Often times we judge ones life by what we see on the outside, however what may look all put together on the outside, could very well be broken on the inside. You never know what goes on behind closed doors for there are a lot of people who are living a counterfeit life.

Of course I go through challenges in life , but it makes me want to excel & push life obstacles back even harder. I refuse to be a victim of fear, anger, anxiety, lack or hopelessness. I thrive on "FAITH", "HOPE", "CONFIDENCE", "JOY", "GRACE" and favorable blessings of "PEACE" in my life. My ultimate source of my destined direction is provider by a higher power & for that I Can Smile knowing he will never forsake me; stand by me through the good times of life & hold me-up during the difficult moments. We all have them so trust that you Can Smile Again when you are at your darkest moment & have faith that, this too shall pass.

drezrehersal Tip... Obstacles are only Hiccups. Take a sip of "FAITH" and say this too shall pass and move on.
 
We welcome your comments, please share if you have ever encounter an obstacle in life & how you persevered through it. You sharing your story can definitely help someone, who may be climbing an up-hill battle.
