#YearOfJoy is about celebrating life, enjoying the moment and sharing it with others.
I"m putting it out in the universe: I want to share #YearOfJoy on a TED Talk stage one day. Universe, are you listening?
Until then, I'm basking in the professional high of today's #BeyondTheBigIdea symposium at University of Houston. Project Runway Season 2 and Houston fashion designer Chloe Dao and I were on stage for an intimate discussion about the fashion and media industries and how technology is changing our world.
Ava the Boxer had her six-month check up . She's healthy and even has lost 5 pounds. That's something to be joyful about.

I watched a little girl walk the rows at NRG's Pet Reunion Pavilion, which opened Monday, calling her dog's name. He wasn't there.
Simply heartbreaking to lose everything in the hurricane, including your dog. There are about 400 dogs, 100 cats here waiting to be reunited with owners. They need volunteers to help with the pets too. (Register at www.bestfriends.org.) They also need bedding donated for the kennels.
On Oct. 14, the animals, including this beautiful female boxer, will be put up for adoption if they haven't been reunited. Here's the story: http://www.houstonchronicle.com/…/NRG-pet-pavilion-hopes-to…
Earlier this week, I gave a keynote address for University of Houston-Downtown students on office dress and the importance of having a professional image. They showed up ready!
Beyonce for BeyGOOD, @Bread of Life Inc. luncheon for hurricane evacuees. Every child got a pair of Nikes.
Even though my vacation has been canceled TWICE due to hurricanes, being able to connect people who have been impacted by the storm with needed resources has been a pure joy. Even connecting a sweet, stray dog in my neighborhood with Rescued Pets Movement warms my heart. He had a tight chain around his neck and was very shy. The group sent a volunteer trapper this morning who got him off the street and removed the awful chain. He'll be examined and neutered and if he's not claimed, he'll get a forever home in Austin.
