| Standing in the midst of the fly and fabulous fashionista sisters........... |
Over the weekend I had the pleasurable experience of attending a wonderful yacht party. From the moment when my husband and I pulled up the excitement was brewing just seeing all of the attendees fashionable gear, women dashing to put on the last swipe of lipstick and of course the beautiful boat. I had on my dancing shoes on and was ready to go!!!! I love a good party!

| Guiding the yacht with my 5 inch heels! |
I was excited to see the birthday girl, because not only was it her birthday……but because I had the honor of designing her birthday suit!!! lol! I am still in awe when clients approach me to handle such a grand task, because it’s such a huge responsibility. Earlier I’d asked her why she chose me and she told me that my creativity reminded her, of her mother. She went further and explained that her mother used to make her garments and redesign shoes!
 |
| Fabulosity and its finest, wisdom, style and character...... |
Upon meeting her mother that evening I could see that this woman was still fly and fabulous. After a few cocktails, great dinner and a little dance floor fun an amazing conversation brewed between us, the hostess mother told me that my craft and style reminded her of her! I was honored! Not only was she fly and talented, she was the mother of a beautiful humble daughter, and also the acclaimed producer Dr. Dre. She was the producer of greatness!! We all know that you cant be great by yourself....

Dr. Dre and his beautiful wife Nicole, myself and my husband.......
People always crave celebrity likeliness, when in fact the hunger should be to be fulfilled with longevity to impact and to leave a mark on the world through the use of your God given gifts..... There is no party you can go to without Dr. Dre's gifts and talents being roared through the speaker!!
As the night continued, he and I had a conversation and I asked him, How do you do it? what’s the key to longevity? His answer was simple. Think GRAND AND BE DETERMINED. His mother chimed in and also had these words of wisdom…Use your gifts for greatness. Given his longevity in the entertainment arena, (I’m not sure of the stats, but I know I used to party to his music in high school and I’m ___ years old!!! Lol!) As an entrepreneur, I was truly inspired by our conversation. |
Because of our enlightening conversation and his ever so famous song, Ain’t Nothing but a G Thang, the G now developed a different, more valuable meaning. No matter what the G stood for before, for me, it now stands for GREATNESS, GAME CHANGER, GIFTS, GRAND ,GLORIOUS, GALLANT, GRACIOUS, GENEROUS, GRATITUDE, GODLINESS and GOODNESS!…. Conscientiously and consistently we must remind ourselves and each other to keep the G things first and foremost in life as we continue to build and grow. As sisters lets encourage each other to let the G thangs be at the forefront of keeping us determined to experience a life of meaningfulness, longevity and success, along side each other. We were created to live the G words out loud, literally……………don’t be surprised when greatness comes your way because …it AIN'T nothing but a G thang baby…………lol!!
