la belle et le desk job

"The hardest period in life is one’s 20s. It’s a shame because you’re your most gorgeous and you’re physically in peak condition, but it’s actually when you’re most insecure and full of self-doubt. When you don’t know what’s going to happen, it’s frightening."
-Helen Mirren

It all started innocently enough. Wall Street was Everest. Internships. 1st job. Sleepless nights, weeks, months... Then with years in the rearview mirror, it was time to step away and figure out exactly how far this breathless trek had taken me. Now this belle has made the leap into fashion. Here goes nothing!

As strong as you were, tender you go. I’m watching you breathing for the last time. A song for your heart, but when it is quiet, I know what it means and I’ll carry you home. I’ll carry you home. (by Edgar Moskopp)

Sunset in Phoenix last November.

My job sometimes takes me to some pretty amazingly gorgeous and peaceful resort locations… not like I really get the time to enjoy them. For instance, this picture was snapped getting back to the hotel after day long meetings, right before having to freshen up to go to a cocktail reception (all business) and a dinner (still all business). It’s a pity… I know.

I stopped to snap a pic w my cell phone, which caused my clients to make weird faces at first. But when they realized how breathtaking the sunset was, they whipped out their own cameras. A real stop-and-smell-the-roses moment.
