Fashion Law : Fashion Lawyer & Attorney : Fox Rothschild Law Firm : Licensing, Intellectual Property

I hope all you enjoyed your thanksgiving holiday.  It is my favorite holiday because it brings together all kinds of people, from all races and religions and gives us a moment to take a time out.....smell the coffee and reflect on all the wonderful things in our lives.  It is also a time for shopping, based on reports of this years Black Friday week.  And, as you may remember, it is a time for birthdays!

We turned three over the holiday weekend and once again, wanted to take a moment to thank you for your support, readership, ideas and feedback...for engaging in debate and challenging existing ideas, for your contributions and your friendship.

Last year, I thanked you for:

doing your your part in turning Fashion Law into a Movement.  I am still in awe of how far we have come. 

For example, this year, Reuters deemed Fashion Lawyers the trendiest fashion accessories, and Loyola Law School has launched its inaugural Fashion Law class, the first of its kind outside New York!

So what's up next? We have survived the terrible twos and are looking to spread our wings.....or in our case, continuing to spread the practice of fashion law across the country, and the world.

We hope you stay tuned and be part of history as together, we create this crazy thing (you know, the thing that "everyone" said we couldn't do, because it didn't exist) called Fashion Law.

xoxo

For those of you who don't know, my grandmother passed away and I have been with my family.  While this is no substitute for a personal reply, I want to thank everyone for their support, kind words and understanding through this difficult time. 

I am finally back in Los Angeles and while I am looking forward to sleeping in my own bed, I am not sure which task ahead is more daunting -- responding to over 1,000 emails or doing more than 10 loads of laundry.  :)

I will be back to posting on Fashion Law shortly so hang in there. 

 Thank you all again from the bottom of my heart.

Best,

Staci

Wikipedia defines "Gratitude" as a positive emotion or attitude, usually of thankfulness, or appreciation, in acknowledgment of a benefit that one has received or will receive.

Why am I reading this on the Fashion Law Blog?

Because none of us can operate a fashion company, or any business for that matter, alone.  We all rely on co-workers, employees, friends and family for the support and assistance required to get the job done.   In the frantic, high paced world of fashion, a team you can trust is essential.

Have you thanked those whose help you are grateful to have.....ever.....or even lately?  (In your head, in an email or even just in a birthday card doesn't count!) 

You will be amazed at how you feel, and more importantly how those you are thanking feel, when you acknowledge their hardwork and support, out loud.  Trust me on this one.

To get you started, here are some of the people who I am grateful for:

• My Husband.  Without whose support, encouragement and annoying positivity I wouldn't accomplish half of what I have done;
• April.  The world's BEST, sweetest and most talented assistant, who I would be lost without;
• Veronica.  The amazing women who cares for my children when I am not there;
• My Firm Management.  Who took a chance, believed, supported and encouraged the novel idea of a "fashion law practice;"
• My FGI Board.  A diverse and amazing talented group of people dedicated to encouraging and bringing together LA's fashion community;
• Mentors.  Who have given me advice, support, motivation and some tough love along the way;
• Good Friends: you know who you are and I thank you for keeping me sane; and
• for the person that surprisingly (shockingly actually) gave my family a helping hand when I needed it the most and least expected it.

Now make your own list.  It can be short, but MUST be genuine.  So get up and go thank someone.  I bet you will make their day.
