"Know this:  You can't expect to draw people into your life who are kind, confident, and generous if you are thinking and acting in cruel, weak, and selfish ways." Dr. Wayne W. Dyer 

I made this recipe tonight and it was a hit!  Yummy  I used ground turkey instead of beef and it was great!

"A successful person is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him or her."  ~David Brinkley

 

 

 

This is one of my favorite quotes.  I have found recently in life that when someone is successful others like to knock them down.  I say keep throwing the bricks, it is making my foundation stronger!

Envy is ignorance.  ~Ralph Waldo Emerson 

 

 

Rather than staying home bored and talking negative about other people.......get a job or do something postive!

Namaste

 

 

I have always loved my True Religion Jeans.  I am up to my 6th pair!  That makes me a fan for sure!  My newest pair is the 'Joey Dark Drifter' with the disco buttons.  They are $262 at Nordstroms and are great fitting.  They have the twisted seam that wraps around your leg.

Urban Girl Accessories makes the cover of San Diego Business Journal.  Inside the magazine is a one on one with me (Annie) about the current status of sales at Fashion Valley Mall.  I gave them the thumbs up!  All is well in the Urban Girl biz.  Thanks to everyone who have given us so many positive comments about the store.  Keep on shopping

Aries (March 21-April 19): Something in your life is no longer serving you. Maybe it's a toxic friendship or a printer -- you can jiggle it and unplug it, but it's still not going to work. Admit what's broken for good and be done with it.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Try to tolerate those who really do think they are perfect. You are so down to earth that you cannot imagine what it would be like to think your brand of morality is superior.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You're in the mood to exercise your wit. It helps to have a sticky problem to finesse with your savvy. There's nothing duller than a plan that goes off without a hitch.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You're not going by the book, which throws some people off. Innovation is not everyone's inclination, but don't let that stop you from forging ahead.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You'll be in a position to argue your point. Making a case for yourself is illuminating.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You love to have an assignment. You don't have to worry about finding inspiration because it can't help but find you.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You're not trying to make people laugh, but don't be offended if they do. Putting people in touch with their joy is a good thing.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You may not think you're working with the polish and panache you want to be known for, but you're doing just fine. Besides, you're simply scrumptious to that certain someone.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Get started on a cleanup project, even if you know you won't be able to finish it for weeks. In the abstract, things seem harder than they are. So don't think, just do.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Because a certain aim has been extremely difficult to follow through with, you've had to recommit yourself. It doesn't mean you should give up. Keep trying.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You're so difficult to say no to. Keep your good energy flowing. You won't be able to conquer the giants who oppose you, but you can disarm them.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): The friction between people is the interesting part. Wherever people cause tension, that's where your creativity will blossom. Go where the action is.
 

What a great day it was when we opened the big doors at Urban Girl Accessories-Fashion Valley!  Finally, all of my ideas have come to fruition.  Albeit only temporarily, but that's okay.  I am so lucky to have this grand opportunity.  We are doing fantastic and enjoying all of the love that everyone has for the store.    

"For the last 21 years Africa’s longest running war has ravaged the northern regions of Uganda, home to the Acholi people. Over 2 million people fled their homes to seek safety. Some made it as far as Uganda’s capital city, Kampala, where they could only find refuge in a hillside slum, now called Acholi Quarters.

Acholi Beads are made by these refugees living in the Acholi Quarters slum. As they struggle to rebuild their lives, the sale of Acholi Beads provides a vital income and helps share their story with the world.

The beads are made from recycled paper from local printers. They are made by men and women whose families are, in the terminology of international aid and development, ‘vulnerable.’ This means that they don’t have a safety net. If something goes wrong they don’t eat, don’t get medicine, don’t go to school. Acholi Beads are made by 10 people from such families and are helping them go from vulnerable to successful."
