if your life’s passion leads you to
discover some incredibly different
way to achieve some relevant and
worthwhile objective, then DO IT.
And don’t look back.
No matter what you do, I
will share a few things that my 20s
have taught me. I made some major
bone-head no-no’s in my career path,
so I plead humility on every count.
But I learned from those errors
and turned stumbling blocks into
stepping stones. I recommend it.
I also recommend reading
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.
It’s a wonderful story about -- you
know what? Just read it.
Jewelry designer and fashion
columnist Sabrina Azadi inspired
by her love of antique crystal
doorknobs has created the Freedom

and Resonate. Research: Do your
homework, especially on yourself
and WHO you are (Not just WHAT
you are.). Respond: Be True to
yourself and others. Respond is

Sabrina was born in Iran,

has also lived in Miami where she
worked as an editor for a fashion
magazine. She now lives in Orange
County with her husband. Her last
name “Azadi” means freedom in
Farsi.
