I Was Here. Celebrating World Humanitarian Day through style








Several years ago, a friend asked me about my legacy. I laughed thinking I was too young to worry about such things. She explained to me that legacy isn't about age, but about heart. It's about making a difference in people's lives and leaving your mark on this world.  That can start at any age, at any time.





I suppose my journey as a journalist, a mentor and an advocate for dressing with love is part of my legacy. I believe that fashion isn't just about the latest trends, cute outfits and amazing shoes. It's about inspiring people to look their best and feel their best, so that when they go out into the world, they feel empowered, strong and ready to make their own legacy.





That's why I love Beyonce's song "I Was Here" and this video she created for today - World Humanitarian Day.  I hope the lyrics are as inspiring to you as they are to me.





I WAS HERE 

 


I wanna leave my footprints on the sands of time
 


Know there was something that, and something that I left behind
 


When I leave this world, I'll leave no regrets 


Leave something to remember, so they won't forget
 





I was here 


I lived, I loved 


I was here 


I did, I've done, everything that I wanted 


And it was more than I thought it would be 





I will leave my mark so everyone will know 


I was here

I want to say I lived each day, until I die
 


And know that I meant something in, somebody's life
 


The hearts I have touched, will be the proof that I leave
 


That I made a difference, and this world will see

 


I was here
 


I lived, I loved 


I was here 


I did, I've done, everything that I wanted
 


And it was more than I thought it would be
 





I will leave my mark so everyone will know

I was here 


I lived, I loved 


I was here 


I did, I've done, everything that I wanted 


And it was more than I thought it would be 


I will leave my mark so everyone will know
 


I was here

 


I just want them to know
 


That I gave my all, did my best 


Brought someone to happiness 


Left this world a little better just because

I was here

 


I was here 


I lived, I loved
 


I was here 


I did, I've done, everything that I wanted 


And it was more than I thought it would be
 


I will leave my mark so everyone will know 


I was here
