Attention to Detail

Attention to Detail -- Is thorough in accomplishing a task with concern for all the areas involved, no matter how small.

It’s a battle of two cities for me. Here I am loving Miami for the quality of life, and the perks of being in a beautiful setting everyday. The sunsets do not compare to New York skies. Hands down Miami lifestyle takes the cake for vacation vibe 24/7. But New York….

New York is HOME. New York is where I know I want to eventually live and love living in! I always said I wanted a reason to miss it, and here I am in debate on what makes the most sense for me. I made a promise yesterday that I would give living in Miami a true chance until “season” is over in March 2011. Seems so far away yet it’s truly right around the corner. Not that I will be ready to up and leave, but I will make my final decision on if it’s worth staying for. Or if New York is worth moving back to.

The questioning of where I will be a year from now is on everyone’s mind. The constant questions of “so..how is it going?....”Mirlinda I need an update!!??” come up on a daily basis. Patience my LOVES as I’m in questioning myself. I never thought I would be in this place, in the city, in this position a year ago. Here I am, one year older, one year wiser, and one year later a better person every day. Every day thankful for the support that has brought me here. Life is good no matter what city I am in. I am accomplishing every task god has planned for me, in every area involved. Love, live life, and prosper.

I love living in this moment as in this moment I'm living love. - Mk.

Driving after an hour of rain in Miami

If you don't know, now you know! Fashion in Miami is a BIG fail. I'm trying to get back to New York to get some serious gear for the 90 degree heat! Do I really want bedazzled and graffi Ed Hardy type non-sense? Yeah well maybe...if I start hanging under some board walk with the crack heads!!?

Think some changes will def be full in affect when it comes to my character. Hoping to become more relaxed with this beach life. Rather than taking my weekends and spending $$$ on clothes and restaurants, I will hopefully be taking the sun in and getting crispy. Which by the way isn't looking cute since I'm peeling like an iguana!

Trying to be settled in with this new position and apartment by next week. Hoping for some super amazing friends to drive my stuff down!! Compensation will be great place to stay, dinner, and bottles and models! And in time I am sure the perks will become a lot better!

Decor of the apartment is already being discussed, and I def want the imput? Thinking Henri Bendel striped wall paper for dining room, white chic clean walls for living room, and the dark grey paint with white accents for my room.

Need to keep real in this joke of a city, so let's go chickas GET HERE!
