Let's Raise Some Hell in 2012

Readers! As 2011 gears for a close, I wonder what you all are doing, thinking, and feeling. There's always an array of emotions when having to say goodbye to people, things, and years. No matter what transpired during these past 12 months, let's all hope everyone is working towards a "new year, new me". Oh lord even writing that phrase made me roll my eyes because, let me have my moment to be a little bit cynical, I'm more of a person who'd rather walk the walk than talk the talk but because not everyone shares the same views as I do, I hope you all find much success with your whole "new me" endeavor. What I think we can all agree on is that 2012 will not start off like this:

TV Shows - Full Episode Video - Reality TV Shows

Can't you tell that I'm excited for Mob Wives to return? Although I love these 4 women and their complex stories, no one should be starting off 2012 by feuding. I guess we'll just have to watch to see why Karen and Drita are still beefing. Ok, that moment of digression is over, let's get back to the post at hand.

I don't know why I haven't been in the mood to do a "Top 10" post since Thanksgiving because I am surely a "make a list" person; I have lists in my head, my planner, and my computer. Writing a list wouldn't be right because frankly because all of my ten things can be summed up with a simple phrase "Thank You".

Thank you to everyone who has allowed this blog to shine and grow worldwide. Thank you to my family, boyfriend included, whose unwavering support has kept me afloat and sane. Many thanks to those who have been riding with me since high school and college because we shall keep riding until the wheels fall off.  Thanks to the economy for not bringing me down with it. I was employed this year and able to spread my message of financial success to teenagers and adults throughout the 5 boroughs. Thanks to the new people who've entered my life and have hung in for the long journey because things shall only get better.

I don't really see a need to drag this post on because who wants to continue reading when the last day of the year has to be celebrated in style? Y'all don't have to answer that. Happy New Year guys and let's raise some hell in 2012.

XOXO,
Whitney

A Christmas Message Written Just For You :)

Hello readers and Merry Christmas. Wherever your exact location is this holiday season, take a moment to  smile and be merry. There's nothing like a smile to brighten up even the most horrific days. I'm taking my breather to write you all and to extend this warm greeting. I could of used this space to write another "Top 10 Things I Hope Santa Brought Me This Year" post like I did last year but, I believe I have everything I could have asked for. Ok ok so there are things that I really do want and it wouldn't kill me to do a Top 10 list right? So, here goes...The Top 10 Things I Hope Santa Brought Me For Christmas 2011:

10. Celebrity Friendships - I would love to be best friends with Derek Jeter & Robinson Cano

9. Career Expansion - Becoming the Chairwoman of the Federal Reserve has a nice ring to it.

8. Upper Eastsider Status - Having a townhouse on Park Avenue? Can someone say baller!

7. Career Re-Awakening- The ability to leave Wall Street for good and devote my time to running my successful children's foundation geared toward academic and social development.

6. Fashion Frenzy......

Alright guys I'll stop there. That was a little rouse to get you all pumped up and attentive. The list won't continue because in all seriousness, I am content with the blessings that I have received this season and I hope you are too. Remember to use this day to do three things: laugh, analyze, and cry. Laugh with your friends and family,   analyze the pros and cons of this season and think about which one you'll let reign over you today, and finally cry because you are that damn overcome with joy and nothing will stop your show. Merry Christmas! Feliz Navidad! Joyeux Noel!

XOXO,
Whitney
