Sister shout out

Elizabeth, my older sister, has always been there for me.  She's one of the few people I ask advice of, she carved the path for me as we grew up discovering and learning lessons which she then passed on to me and she's the model I look up to.

Although we are close sisters, it's impossible to know everything about her.  I recently read an alumni article written by her former university, Medaille College, about Elizabeth, and through reading it a bit more of the determined and wonderful person she is was revealed to me.

Too often in life we lose track of the things that matter most and don't express how we feel about family and close friends -  I'm guilty of this too.  So, I wanted to use my blog to publicly praise my older sister and to tell anyone who reads this how very proud I am of her hard work at both universities she graduated from (Medialle College and New York University).
Small sisters
Sisters -all grown up!

I admire her tenacity in everything she does.  Elizabeth has  always seemed to have a constant faith that everything will work out and she always believes that nothing is unachievable if you work hard enough. Her fearlessness has been such an inspiration to me and everyone who meets her.  Elizabeth is such a motivational and loving person who I'm fortunate enough to call my sister.

UPDATE to Dear Jobless post

Dear Jobless post UPDATE -

I have a very close friend who is still struggling to land her first job in her chosen field, the world of fashion, and last Christmas, to give her a bit of inspiration, I bought her a print from a user on Etsy, Ginger Oliphant, which pictured a bulldog (my friend's favorite dog breed) and an excellent quote about looking ahead with optimism:


I've been lucky enough to find a position in the field that I love, I now work at a PR agency in England, and I hope that all of you graduates and job hunters can find the role you have been searching for.  It might take some determination and support from your family and close friends but you can do it - never give up!
