sweet dream or...

the honeysuckle is out in full bloom--you can't step outside for 5 minutes without getting a big breath of sugar sweetness. spring in the ATL is my favorite favorite. the whole city is full to the brim with blooming foliage. also the landscaping in my neighborhood is GORGEOUS...but i'm not biased.

this city is rich with not just trees, but opportunity--i never would've suspected this, 2 years ago, before i moved. never would've thought i would find so much diversity in so many industries; so many fantastic outlets for expression of beauty and art.

i have been soaking up the great, great offer and position that i stepped into last fall with Michel Germain Parfums. it has been a WHIRLWIND--not by any means all fun and games--but i would not miss out on this experience for anything. what i have learned and seen and accomplished in just 6 months is worth many short nights, and more long hours in the store & office. i'm happy to say that the record-making and -breaking that i was informed about, which intrigued me when i started, has continued to build momentum. it is incredible to be a part of such a stellar team. we've also moved into other avenues of promoting--got to sponsor a massive fashion show (the launching of the Simon Duncan Collection in ATL, at the Lamborghini showroom)--and are beginning to negotiate contracts with celebrities that want co-op with our brand, to together reach much larger marketplaces (more on that later).

i don't always love the day-to-day dirty work. i don't always love the razor-focus required to catapult our company to the next level, which often means skipping other things i enjoy. but i am not afraid to say that the small amount of my life that i am devoting to this thing, whether a couple years or a few or even more...has already been and will unquestionably be an asset in launching me into my ultimate goals and my destiny in life. what i have learned already has been monumental--the best is yet...well, you know...
