Find it in newsstands and select boutiques and other other retail locations around the Midlands. Have you ever decided to try something that was not in your ordinary comfort zone? Did you consider what pushing beyond your own boundaries might result …

Expectancy…How does the word register with you? Do you seem to always get what you expect? Does the opposite of what you say you want seem to show up? Are your words expressing one desire as your mind quietly whispers something else to you? I had an interesting conversation with a gentleman that stayed with us for a couple of …

What if every single notion you had came true? Think of all of the things that went through your mind today. Were the thoughts positive or negative? Was most of the day spent in a downward dredge or on an uplifting soar? What if we could create magic? I received a call today from a friend up in Maryland. She …

I have been working diligently on a benefit fashion show for the Alzheimer’s Association. The project has really gotten me thinking. I have always felt there are no coincidences in life. Each of us encounters on a daily basis signals, clues, messages, if you will, for guidance or to provide the answers to questions racing through our conscious and subconscious. …

Studies have shown that our brain capacity allows for 10,000 thoughts per minute to hit us, yet only a few actually penetrate through to conscious thinking and less than one percent of those are actually given validation. Have you ever wondered about those ‘great ideas’ that hit you? Have you ever looked back on your life and asked ‘What if”? …

Alheimers affects nearly 60, 000 South Carolinians today. The Alzheimer’s Association is the leading organization working toward the research and cure of this disease. The Palmetto Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association has teamed up with Exotica Fine Womens Apparel for a fun filled Fashion Walk ‘Style-N-Mind’ on September 21, 2006.
