After my post last week, “The White Suit,”  I mentioned that I needed to find a fun event to wear my white suit.  Kevin Hamilton sent me an invitation to his White Party for his birthday at the Onyx Room Restaurant.  There was great soul food, wonderful music by Kevin Hamilton and...

Even though I have recently given some wonderful bags away to family, friends, and Goodwill, there are a few bags with which I will never part.  Sometimes, I think a girl just outgrows some of her bags, but I don’t know if I could ever outgrow my Louis. ...

If you had been there, you would have pulled the one you love close and reminisced about the day you met.  If you had been there, you would have felt relaxed, fine and on cloud nine…if only you had been there.  I’m talking about jazz in the park at LaEncantada.  The awesome...

I’m reading a book called “The Greatest Secret,” and one of the premises in the book is that gratitude brings blessings. Everyday, I thank God for where He has placed me, for the friends and family he has given me, and for the grace that He has shown me. Today, we celebrated...

Here I am with my first post.  I decided I would challenge myself to begin with what is already in my closet.  I cannot buy new outfits, shoes, etc.  I have to work with what I already own. I began by giving several pairs of shoes, handbags, jeans and other clothing to Goodwill, which means I...
