Fabulosity. It’s not a real word, but one that I enjoy. I define fabulosity as the state of being fabulous. And that’s what I wish to share with you today – how to create your own little fabulous world.

I truly believe that in order to be truly fabulous, you must practice fabulosity in all areas of your life. No area is too small. Everything we think, say, do, and wear (!) contributes to our level of fabulosity. It’s the ‘total package’ effect, and that is my sincerest wish for you: to live an absolutely fabulous life. You are the creator. You have the power. So why not carve out a great big fabulous something for yourself?

Fabulosity is a mindset.

Your attitude plays a huge role here, my friends. When you choose to treat yourself- and others- a bit more fabulously, you will develop that certain something that sets you apart from mediocrity.

You don’t have to have a ton of money, the biggest house, or a tremendous wardrobe (although one’s wardrobe does play a role in his/her fabulosity – more on that later). It’s about waking up each morning and proclaiming your fabulosity. It’s about doing those little things that are a bit more fabulous than you currently may be doing them right now. Use the good napkins instead of paper towels. Turn off the TV and tune in to your friends and neighbors. Focus on the positive and ignore the negative. Face challenges head-on with grace and dignity. A positive attitude – that’s the key to fabulosity!

We certainly can’t forget about the way in which we present ourselves to the world. Looking your best is vital in order to live a life of fabulosity. If you’ve ever worn crocs to the grocery store, a track suit on an airplane, or pajamas to Starbuck’s, you must promise me you’ll never do it again. Because it’s just not fabulous!

Bear in mind, too, that someone is always watching – a child, a friend, the gal standing behind you in Starbuck’s staring at your pajamas – and because they are watching, you must show them what fabulosity looks like. I believe in leading by example. If you want the world to be a more fabulous place, you must rise fabulously to every occasion. Be the fabulous change you want to see in the world.

The power lies within you. Go forth each day as a conqueror, and accept nothing but the best for yourself. Maintain a positive attitude in all that you do. Dream big. Live bigger. Smile. Laugh. Love. Fabulosity can be yours – if you let it.
