Things are far from perfect and I still feel freakin' awesooooome!

Your imperfect reality can be the beginning of your perfect thoughts. If you are passionate, your desires will come. If you are diligent, your reward will follow. I have been often tricked into second guessing my thoughts and beliefs and the seed of insecurity creeps in until I realize that HE has already promised us the desires of our hearts and it is by our faith that we are able to see His word come to life. Not an easy assessment to make when you are bogged down with the details. I encourage you to celebrate the joys of today and not worry so much about the unknown. Trust me, I am taking my own advice!

FAB Event Recap - "FAB Goes to ESSENCE"

FAB Event Recap - "FAB Goes to ESSENCE" - ESSENCE Corporate Office - November 14, 2011

The FAB Network hosted "FAB Goes to ESSENCE" last night highlighting "The Inside Scoop on the Magazine World". Senior level ESSENCE professionals shared their expertise and knowledge on the fashion, beauty, entertainment and digital arena - all very important sectors that contribute to the continued success of ESSENCE. The discussion was intimate and encouraged dialogue, thought-provoking questions and of course inspiring advice.


Education is the cornerstone of The FAB Network and last night's event proved just how essential learning is to the development of our goals. I truly believe that if an individual is packaged with information and confidence, they are equipped to reach their destiny. All other factors are secondary.

I am very grateful to the confirmed professionals, volunteers and attendees who made last night totally FAB! Thank you for continuing to believe in the mission of FAB!
