Gratitude Friday on Saturday

I enjoyed my Friday so much I totally forgot to do my post! The planets must have aligned as I made a few wishes last weekend and had it come true this Friday.

?I subscribe to the Daily Thoughts email at TUT.com which is an inspirational email sent to you Monday through Friday. I really had wished that I could receive an extra email during the weekend. Yesterday they sent two! Paulette calls me and says “How did you do it?” I said “I`m just good!” Thank you TUT! Thoughts do become things!

?I think I realized that after all the years I have been on the web, no one had written about me. I wished I had press and just didn`t specify. Within the past week I discovered at least 4 blog postings and was invited to do a radio interview. In my pajamas show interviewed me and I was so grateful! I learned a thing or two about myself! Thank you Amy!

? Barbara Curran has Finderskeepersjewelry.net and this week she was kind enough to send me a gorgeous bracelet. Barbara, you sweet little sister of the universe, I love you! Thank you!

? I really don`t have to tell you how fantastic Ruta Fox is, her sense of taste as well as her past experience as a writer for Vanity Fair, and building a multi million dollar company with the Ah! ring, she has become a friend and adviser. Ruta, thank you for the article! I love it!

? I love oriental food! Japanese and Chinese, I could eat it for breakfast, lunch and diner. This particular restaurant makes awesome shrimp balls. After consuming them, I found the fortune cookies. The first one said “Investigate new possibilities with friends. Now it`s the time!” The cookie tasted so good and the fortune in it was so positive, I opened the other two which said “Now is the time to set your sights high and go for it” and “Remember three months from now this date! Your lucky star is shining!” That was on April 10… We`ll see!

? Last but not least, after having quite a nervous week and being interviewed, Paulette and I listened to the interview together. She cried and said to me, “You are so wonderful! This is what is going to get you to Oprah.” I am highly critical of myself, my accent which was virtually invisible, and even my upbringing. For the first time in my life I saw me as others see me. Paulette who will never spare you the truth for the sake of your feelings, paid me the most wonderful complements and made me feel like it`s finally happening for me. Love you Paul! You had a hand in it!

Have a fabulous Saturday!
XOXO,
Elaine

M.I.A.?? Well… It was truly Divine!

Kinda. Still felt a bit weak from the strep throat (still have a kid sick!) but I managed to get some work done! I should be done by tomorrow-Thank goodness!

For my hard work, I treated this good girl to the AH! ring (Attached and Happy) from divinediamonds.com. Recently featured in O, The Oprah Magazine, on the O List, as well as the Oprah.com website (and many other places I can`t recall, but I recently interviewed the fabulous Ruta at Divapreneur).

I don`t have to tell you that Ruta is super amazing! She`s a former writer for Vanity Fair and many other fantastic publications. She also owned a magazine which she later sold to Fairchild Publications. I was extremely humbled when she mentioned she enjoyed my writing! (I always thought I write with an accent!! I will take that feather for my cap.) Thank you Ruta! I am flattered!

The ring was shipped so quickly! The best part is how this gorgeous pinkie ring just sparkles. I was on the phone with Paul and I could not help gushing over it. The cut of the diamond and the mount of the ring really complement each other. I believe Teri Hatcher and Selma Blair are among the famous owners of this decadent ring.

The ring wasn`t too expensive, just $330. I felt so special to have it. I often try to treat myself and I felt like a princess to have it sparkle on my finger. It was the perfect way to say “I love me.” Now if I can just find my prince, I can finally kiss him!
