Cheers to a wonderful 2012 and an incredible 2013!
My goal this year is to create and appreciate the beauty in every place it lives, beginning within myself. Now that I am older, I often hear the phrase that a woman is like a fine wine, better with age. That may be true but I am a big believer in reinvention, breaking rules and running with abandon toward your dreams.
New Year's is traditionally celebrated with bubbles but did you know that Champagne is only just a wine with CO2 ? Yep, a fine wine in a beautifully different package!

Why all the fuss? According to sources, the average bottle of champagne contains enough carbon dioxide to potentially produce 49 million bubbles! My friends, we are like champagne, designed to sparkle, to fizz and be intoxicating! Not allowing ourselves to bubble from pressure or fermentation, but to understand that beauty lies within us once allowed to breathe!
Tonight I will drink champagne from a trumpet-like glass who's silhouette is purely contrived to enhance the rise of bubbles from the bottom to the top in a cascade of effervescent possibility.
At the beginning of 2012, I couldn't have dreamed that my book would be endorsed by Cover Girl and Olay in a 2 page ad in a major magazine, I had no idea that I would be featured in campaigns for Four Seasons, the Phoenician, be Ford's model of the month, or appear in photo shoots for multiple magazines, that I would be co-hosting a live morning show on ABC or be a respected beauty, lifestyle expert interviewed in multi-media and travel to the Pyramids of Giza, float in the Dead Sea and see the Taj Mahal. This all happened in 365 days, seemingly out of no-where, but I know it was because I didn't buy into the rules, or limits and had a vision.
I double dare you to change your thinking, your packaging ... opening up your possibilities.
Whatever your resolutions for the new year, losing weight, getting fit, earning more, spending less ... I hope you include a little beauty and lots of frivolous details into your journey. Check in with me here at A Model's Secrets, now and then, I promise to give you the best advice I can offer with waves of cheering to encourage you toward your dreams!
XOXO
