OWN: Lifelesson # 4 - The Truth Will Set You Free

GO TO: OWN: 8/7c and chat LIVE with Oprah 9/8c
In life we have many options. The point is, are you a leader or are you a follower? If you are a leader, then perhaps some might say that you are a bit like the late Steve Jobs, one of the founders of Microsoft that danced to the beat of his own drum. I can feel that. Oprah Winfrey is also a leader. From what I have observed over the years of watching her on television, she has grown leaps and bounds and seems to want to learn as much as possible and then share it with others. Today, on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network, she is sharing # 4 in a series of what she calls Lifelessons. Yes, lessons that one can listen and learn and adapt new behaviors in order to make this journey through life a more enjoyable journey - drop those bags and keep it moving! Why? Because life is too short not to, Honey! Smooches, C
Oprah wants you to get the point - ASAP

Rolls Royce Limited Edition Bijan Phantom, Darling...

In 1973, Iranian born  Bijan Pakzad  (Persian: بیژن پاکزاد) migrated to the United States. In 1976, Bijan , opened up his appointment only menswear clothing boutique on Rodeo Drive. Bijan, also known as Bigian clothing designer for men, brought with him eloquence, style, grace and outstanding first class service, to a town that has appreciated him ever since.
 After all, to Bijan, the globe was his home; Although he spent the vast majority of his time at home in the City of Beverly Hills, Bijan an International Celebrity, also had residences in New York, Malibu, Milan, Florence, and was always welcomed to his native home, Iran.

You see, Bijan realized that one can shop anywhere.The question is, "Where can one shop where they get first class clothing, first class service and a personal thank you note from the man that created the world of Bijan?" Well, ask some of his clients - Beverly Hills Mayor Jimmy Delshad, Tony Blair, Jay Leno, Giorgio Armani, Michael JordanShahram Nazeri, and not to mention the late U.S. President Ronald Reagan.   

Tomorrow, Rodeo Drive will be filled with so many people wanting to get a glimpse at the  new limited edition Rolls Royce Bijan Phantom

While managing the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce, what I remember most about Bijan, having met him on several occasions, and participating in him being the key note speaker at our  Beverly Hills Business  Excellence Ceremony - it was how much he loved people and how truly kind and  excited he was about
L-I-F-E -  showing thankfulness and gratitude for the things money can't buy - the love of family and good friends.
Beverly Hills misses you, Bijan, but your legacy will live on forever~

Serendipity Films, Inc., Present ~ 'Soiree with Angels' Charity Event ~ Sunday, Oct 2, 2011

When I look at the artistry of Giorgio Tuscani and Davood Roostaei, it takes me to a place that you've visited as well - Washington DC,  Italy, France, Germany.
Davood Roostaei, is a native son of Iran, An international Artist
 that paints with his fingers - no paint brushes - his fingers. If one is fortunate to see an Artist, such as Davood Roostaei, take a blank canvas and create visions that are in his heart and soul, visions of places that are all apart of this place we call home, this globe, then count yourself amongst those who have met the

Angels. Love. Peace. These are just a few nouns that aptly describe the man that is the
International Artist,
Giorgio Tuscani. Giorgio was born in Verona, Italy and raised in the United States.  Giorgio's
 heart is so full of love  - even the Angels visit him in his dreams!

These two Artists are joining forces and will be featured this evening at Serendipity Films, Inc.,
'Soiree with Angels' Event, in Studio City, CA.

Film Composer, Deddy Tsur as well as Top Chef Fabio Viviani, are gathering together for the sake of the children. 
There are two outstanding non-profit organizations that are being supported by this evening's
'Soiree with Angels' Black Tie Charity Event:
Youth Service America (www.ysa.org)
and
Kids in the Spotlight (www.kidsinthespotlight.org)
"The children are out Present".

Kids in the Spolight, Inc.,  Marilyn Beaubien, CEO and Audrey Brooks, Cynthia Stafford  and Sharon Hogg, are all an integral part of Kid in the Spotlight, and are recipients of the love and support of Serendipity Films, Inc. and Shahrzad Amirsadeghi,

Love & light, Carla

Serendipity Films, Inc., "Soiree with Angels" Charity Event, Sunday, Oct 2, 2011

Serendipity Films, Inc. & Shahrzad Amirsadeghi Present, 'Soiree with Angels' Charity Event, First of 12 Worldwide, featuring Artists Giorgio Tuscani & Davood Roostaei, who will create live art with proceeds going to Youth Service America & Kids in the Spotlight, Inc., Children's Charities.

Oh my goodness, just thinking about sitting down and watching Deddy Tzur perform live, makes me sooooo happy! And I swear that Deddy must have been born with a treble clef and base notes in his hands. When one gets an opportunity to sit down and listen to one of the most prolific music composers of our century, one mustn't miss it - I know I won't!
Having said that, I am so glad that today is Saturday and tomorrow is Deddy Tzur Day ( in my book...)
Enjoy your weekend!
 Smooches, Carla
