Park Avenue Shut Down Traffic Free Event

My New York City people get ready for three Saturdays( August 7 – August 21, 2010) this month. Park Avenue and connecting streets will be closed to traffic and open to the PUBLIC! From 7am to 1pm the public can do anything on the streets of Park Avenue, from bike riding to strolling to dancing.

BUT WAIT! Word is that you will also be able to swim. This year includes clean, unused shipping containers that have been transformed into three swimming pools, which will be located near Grand Central Terminal. The pool is free to the public as well, but admissions bracelets will be handed out on a first-come, first-served basis.

So, if you happen to be on Park Avenue and seem to hear less noise from the traffic....don't say I didn't warn you!

Vote for this AmbitiousOne, Rhonesha Byng to get her own show with the Oprah Network. You can checkout her journey through the process at CanOprahHearMe.com, you can also just go directly to the voting site by just clicking VOTE.

Both links will give you the idea, details, and purpose of Rhonesha's, also known as N.E.S.H.A show. This AmbitiousOne uses the acronym N.E.S.H.A to her name to express her drive and how ambitious she is by allowing it to mean, No one Ever Slows Her Agenda. I am pretty sure after visiting both of these links you will see her motivation and drive for succeeding in life. So, why not support??? As ambitious individuals we all need to support one another as we continue to climb to the top.....Support and go Vote!

DON'T FORGET TO SPREAD THE WORD!

AssataSays Private Networking Event

This Saturday Assata from AssataSays.com put on a great networking event. The purpose and mission of the event as Assata would put it was to bring "Some of the brightest and talented women together to help and celebrate one another."

Being a friend of Assata's I knew the hard-work she had put towards this event, as well as how nervous she was about launching this event. As I told Assata during the preparation of this event, along with what I told her after the event was simply these words: "Don't worry....It will be fine!" When in reality it was more than fine because the event was a success!
The event was held at Polish Bar at the Brooklyn’s Prospect Heights location. It was a room full of a few industry career women mingling and networking with young Ambitious Ones over manicures & pedicures. There was also some great wine and finger food offered to the guest. Let me not forget, there was also great goodie bags at the end like every successful event should have!
The best advice I think I took from this event was from a future Planner with Macy's and part of her advice was: "Speak good things into your life and continue to keep your faith in God with your dreams." I come to realize when you really have a deep conversation with someone and how they got somewhere in life dealing with their success it will usually come down to one thing....their faith in God.

Great work Assata looking forward to Part 2!
