VIP Memphis Magazine November 2010: Letter from the Editor



This past month we were fortunate to be involved in many exciting events around town such as the 17th Annual Blues Ball that celebrated the lives of Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis as well as Dress For Success Memphis’ 1st Annual Little Black Dress Preview Event to their Upscale Garage Sale, the Laurelwood Appreciation Party, several anniversaries and business openings, Halloween Parties and fall festivities. I had the chance to meet Stormy and Speedy, two incredible greyhounds who reside at the Memphis Jewish Home and Rehabilitation Center. Finally, I spoke with a local investor with Memphis Invest, a family-owned real estate investment firm in town whose mission is building wealth through real estate investing, about why Memphis is a strong market to invest and real estate is a viable solution to long term wealth. It made me realize that we really do live in a city of opportunities and possibilities.

November is the month of Thanksgiving, a month in which we all stop to reflect who or what we have in our lives that we are thankful for. Among so many things, I am thankful for my health, my family and friends, for the magazine’s leadership, advertisers and contributors and I am grateful for all of the possibilities that I am faced with each day.

Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough. ~ Oprah Winfrey
