On this–my 300th blog post–I took a couple of liberties with Ralph Waldo Emerson’s quote to exclaim just how much I have learned from my readers in the last six years.

Everyone always asks me where I get inspiration for my blogs. Well, the ideas began while writing a book on STYLE with image consultant Janna Beatty. Every concept she presented in the book became a springboard for other ideas.

And, surprisingly, women seemed very interested. So I kept writing, and listening, and asking questions. I sincerely thank my readers and my friends for providing me with so many great ideas.

In celebration, I wanted to bring you some of my most popular blogs:

Years ago, I remember a quote from the popular television show, “Father Knows Best.” Father (Robert Young )–who always knew best–said, “You can learn something from everyone you meet.”

I never forgot that–and I’m so glad I have you wonderful friends and readers to learn from.

With sincere thanks.
