Happy New Year!

The holidays kind of whizzed passed us (the relativity of time has that effect as we get older!) and we’re dawning on a new year. In April 2013 I wrote my three-year life plan, which included launching Lady Holiday. I feel truly blessed to have this evolving canvas, dialogue and voice to share ideas, thoughts and experiences of quality with like-minded tastemakers across the globe.

As we begin to reevaluate our lives and create resolutions I thought I’d share this list of “21 Things The Wealthy Do Daily.” Money certainly does not guarantee happiness, but it does create freedom and that is a universal luxury we can all appreciate. I’m wishing each of you abundance in opportunities to create more freedom to do the things you love in 2014.

Love,

LH
