My Favorite 8…

I don’t know about you, but I eagerly await this time of the year, and it’s not why you think. I always looked forward to the end of the year, because besides the fact that you can be grateful you made it through another year, you have all those countdowns. The only time there actually is something to watch on TV, besides when MAD MEN is on of course!

So I’ve decided to do a couple of list of my own, none of which are in a particular order unless indicated so. Every day until the end of the year I’ll post a Favorite 8, for the year 2008. So on the heels of the last post I figured to start the countdown making a list to publicly Thank & Acknowledge those who are a constant source of encouragement…

Favorite 8 Motivators of 2008

Courtney – An incredible friend and my personal Angel who always complements me on my look & refers to me as her Fashionista. Lol. Your opinion means a great deal to me, so thank you for acknowledging & appreciating my style.

Dontaine – We probably live less than 20 minutes away from each other, and I haven’t seen you in over at least a year BUT you are a endless source of encouragement. Trust me, it means the world and I promise I’ll put you on!

Jerome – You too are a constant encouragement, reminding me daily it’s not where I’m at now, but where I’ll end up. Serving as my personal blog troubleshooter, lol. Glad to have you as a friend, though we may piss eachother off occasionally. :-)

Kenny – You motivate me not by anything you may particularly say, but seeing you grind serves as a constant reminder to me to keep on mine. You motivate me just as anyone else because you do so by example.

Daddy&Mommy(Trust me they count as one) – You constantly remind me of my INNER beauty and challange me to better. You raised a lady and remind me to carry myself & emulate such in my speech,demeanor, & presentation. Daddy, your style is a drving force in molding my own and attempting to create my own signature aesthetic.

Lola – Lol, I promise you’ll get your house before Mommy. You always believed in me! (Inside) Your admiration of me and inclusion of my opinion immensely warms my heart.

Leondra – You always push me , and participate in both my victories & losses.The cab ride we had down Madison (2006, After Concert on your birthday) will reoccur, and we’ll stop in every store, I promise.

Grandma – The Muse. You are the single most important inspiration for my vision. Your beauty. Elegance. Grace. Taste. Style. I could go on & on.

Thank you & I love you all!

If you were not included, PLEASE do not take it personally. I love you just as much, in regards to what I aspire to these individuals have played in active role in helping to realize it, whether they know it or not, hence their recognition.
