A Fresh Start:

Friday, February 17th, 2012 by admin

Today is day five of my twenty-two day sabbatical. A very much needed time out as we say in football. It’s the time when the team stops movement and gets a clear focus and devises an even better edition to the game plan. It should be a mandatory action for everyone, especially for the obsessive working personalities like me.

Maybe twenty-two days isn’t possible for you. Try a few moments each day to revive yourself. Give yourself a physical tune up. In the world we live in, fresh starts should be mandatory. Whether our situations are good, bad or in-between . Fresh starts are life changing. They allow us the ability to stand back and reevaluate. It is then that the magnitude of the object changes.

Fresh starts bring the excitement back and allow us to be in love again with the things that consume us or rid ourselves of things that destroy the essence of who we are. Take the challenge, it will change your life forever!

Life’s Posh, live it!

Inspiration Monday:: What If Whitney

Monday, February 13th, 2012 by admin

When tragic, and untimely, deaths of some of pop culture’s greatest icons happen, we’re reminded yet again how important it is to passionately pursue your dreams. Imagine if Whitney had never cared enough to work as hard as she did, and because she didn’t work hard the world was never blessed with her amazing music. What if she gave up the first time someone told her no, or told her that she wasn’t good enough? What if she let other people influence her dreams? What if Whitney let naysayers and negative noise shut her up? If she had, then she never would have sold over 170,000,000 albums, won two Emmy Awards, six Grammy Awards, 30 Billboard Music Awards, and 22 American Music Awards. Lucky for us, she didn’t let anything stop her, and in return we were given one of the greatest voices the world will ever know.

Pursue your passions and talents, irregardless of the cost. If you don’t, you’ll be starving the world from one of the things it needs the most: a person that’s passionate and feels in the bottom of their core that what they bring to the table, no one else can.

Spring 2012 Ready-To-Wear::

Thursday, February 9th, 2012 by Jerrell

New York Fashion Week starts today and I am so excited! I’ve been obsessively checking Style.com since last night waiting to see what my favorite designers have put together for Fall ’12 Ready-to-Wear. But the excitement of fashion week is nothing compared to my longing for the arrival of Spring. I am in serious need of warm weather and neon clothing. So take a break from stalking the Fall runway photos and take a look at a few of my favorites from the Spring ’12 Ready-to-Wear shows.

Inspiration Monday:: Cherishing Relationships

Monday, February 6th, 2012 by admin

Part of our 2012 plan to Do Something New involves learning to become more generous with our time. Whether it be our children, our parents, our friends, we all have people in our lives that could use more of our quality time. Working to cultivate and cherish those relationships is more rewarding than you could ever imagine. Despite how busy life can get, spend each moment you can learning something new about someone that you love. Show them that you care by taking them to lunch, or by calling them and just asking how their day is. Everyone wants to feel loved, so make sure that you’re always giving it wherever and whenever possible.

Inspiration Monday:: Joining In The Journey

Monday, January 30th, 2012 by admin

Friday, we announced that we’re making exciting changes to ShopPoshBoutique.com on Wednesday, our one year online anniversary. For many business owners, major changes can be scary or they can be thrilling, depending on how much planning you’ve done or how willing you are to take a risk. We told you earlier this month that we’re all about doing something new, so seeking out all new creative avenues and ideas is an obvious solution. When we get an idea, we run with it and see where it leads! If we don’t love it, we don’t do it again, and if we do, then we make the changes to include our new ideas into the business plan.

We’re telling you this today to encourage you to join in this journey with us. No matter what aspect of life you’re in, changes are going to happen. Will you embrace the new or will you resist it? Will you run with your ideas and see where they lead, or will you always be left wondering what could have been if you’d just tried something a little new? We have to tell you,  living your life embracing changes and trying something new is both terrifying and exhilarating. It isn’t always easy to push yourself, to dream new dreams and to travel down new paths, but the reward is far worth the risk and the person that you’ll become will never look back to the old you.

Exciting things are happening all around you, won’t you let go and be a part?
