Happy New Year!
It's been a long time! I must admit, I got lost in the infamous 'RAT RACE' during the latter part of 2008. But I have emerged in 2009 like a phoenix from ashes, a result of the flames it ignites itself. All done so that it might be reborn to live a new life yet again. In my case to face another year of corporate america, with new goals, new experiences and of course new blog entries.
Well, I start the new year with a new blogspot name ~ Power Suit. I can remember as a little girl watching my mother go to work in this "Power Suit", that had "power" shoulder pads and "power" lapels. The suit itself gave her power in my mind. The power to wake up at 5am each morning, commute 45 miles to the office and to work hard rising up the ladder in the information technology industry. I was in awe!
As suits evolved, from the 1980's boxy and basic black to sassy skirts and delictible colors I was drawn to this styling, opting to change my career aspirations from being a pediatrician, to psychologist, to finally a corporate phenom, only so I could don this transformational "power suit".
I acquired numerous so-called "power suits" over the years, as I interviewed for internships, sorority membership and of course jobs. But it wasn't until I thrusted myself into corporate america in my many versions of an updated "power suit" that I realized that - as long as your power item = confidence whether it is a "power blouse", a "power tie", "power pair of shoes" or even a "power smile" you will always make it to the next level.
So welcome to "Power Suit" ~ enjoy!
