HAPPY HOLIDAYS

A Note for the Holidays from LESLIE FRAM

I first want to take a moment to thank my biz partner Carole Davenport for all her love, support and vision for our little company 4Bags and our venture in retail with LUXE - Atlanta.  As we go into our fifth year in business together I send a special thanks to my sister Sharon for her hard work, vision and devotion to the 4Bags Boutique in Fairhope, AL.  AND Lanny you are the light. Thanks for keeping us on course.  Thanks to all of our friends and clients.  Without your support we would not be able to continue with our passion.

In addition to my passion for fashion, I have been blessed with the opportunity to continue my career in radio broadcasting with Emmis Communications in New York City at WRXP.  Our General Manager is an extremely passionate motivator and often sends the staff her "Think For The Day". This week it was especially insightful as we head in to a very challenging new year.  I thought I would share it with you all.  I hope you all have a most exciting, safe and happy Holiday Season.

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response.  In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” ⎯ Viktor E. Frankl

The reality of the coming year is that the precipitous decline in the economy will create a collective pause; a “space” of epic proportions for organizations and individuals. Yes, it will be unpleasant for many. But it will also be an opportunity in disguise for those willing to seize the moment.
