Treasure the experience

Let go of the need to constantly keep score. Create value for its own sake and it will come much more easily and naturally.
There are great possibilities patiently waiting to happen for you. Yet any desire for superiority you may have will keep pushing those possibilities away.
All you could ever hope for is already connected to you. But you cannot see that connection when you're constantly focused on getting more.
Your obsessive attachment to getting the result you seek prevents that result from being fully realized. Put your focus on being instead of getting.
Good things happen as soon as you get past the need for them. Let life flow as it will, and it will flow in great abundance.
Get out of the way of your own authentic fulfillment. Sincerely treasure the experience, and there will be much more to treasure.

-- Ralph Marston

WEEKEND AGENDA...

Dine…at Liberty Grill on Flower Street… this new renovated restaurant is my little getaway after school; it’s the perfect road side dining not too far from the heart of downtown LA. See … “This is It”… Heard this is a great movie. The new Regal Cinema down at LA Live had a huge grand opening to the premiere of this movie. It’s about time I go see it. I grew up listening and dancing to Michael Jackson and I have to say that I still can’t believe he’s gone. What a legend. Listen… “Cowboy Casanova”… my roommate was jamming to this new tune by Carrie Underwood the other day and it was just so catchy. I wanted to jump in and sing along but I didn’t know the words. My favorite part would have to be, “you better run for your life”.
Looking forward to… Janet Jackson’s Number Ones…this album will feature all her greatest hits including Scream, the duet with her brother Michael, and new song Make Me. I’m also looking forward to November 14th when JIMMY CHOO arrives at H&M.

Not excited about… studying and cramming for MIDTERMS next week. School felt like is JUST started and I’m already stressed out. Next week will be HELL. Oh this FIDM Life...

The fabulous DIOR wall is back...

and better than ever! Including illustrations and looks from the years of Galliano, YSL, Gianfranco, Marc Bohan, and Christian himself. Stop by the 2nd floor and take a step back into some of the most iconic times in fashion history.
