Embracing my new Ophiuchus

I must admit while I thought it would completely suck to have to let go of being a Sagittarius (I mean, how am I gonna cover my Archer tattoo now - KIDDING) I'm already beginning to embrace being an Ophiuchus (even though I still don't really know how to say it yet).  It turns out that I've had the characteristics the whole time.  Let me just enlighten ya'll on who us Ophiuchus' really are!


interpreter of dreams, vivid premonitions,
attracts good luck and fruitful blessings,
serpent holder, lofty ideals,
a seeker of peace and harmony,
doctor of medicine or science, natural-pathic,
adds, increases, joins, or gathers together
poetical, inventive nature, expanding qualities,
seeks higher education and wisdom,
overseer, supervisor of work,
fame - either grand, or completely misunderstood,
longevity, aspirations of healing the ills of man,
architect, builder, reaches for the stars, figuratively and literally,
tax assessor, or levys taxes,
astrological talents, intuitive,
large family indicated, but apt to be separated from them when young,
the number twelve holds great significance,
foresight and good fortune to benefit from hard times,
has secret enemies in family or close associations,
many jealous of this subject,
notable father, apple of father's eye when young,
high position in life expected [depending on aspects] highest fame and legend comes after death
feelings of granular, wise, genius mentality,
likes to wear clothing of vibrant colors, and plaids in particular,
receives the favor of those in authority.

So I'd say I'm about a 86.8% Ophiuchus...and I think I'm happy about that.

the informal introduction

place:  my sister's house

event:  my totally 80s 25th bday photo shoot

conversation:  "hey you should start an accessories blog because you have the perfect accessory for every outfit"

"Pa-ting" = the light bulb going off in my head

Now after a couple trial and errors and that silent killer called "procrastination"....by gosh i think i've got it!

A little introduction:  i'm khali abria.  (khali is pronounced "kaa-lee" like cauliflower) and it means "first born gifted one" in Yoruba and apparently the "goddess of destruction" in some Indian cultures.  and i'm a 20-something fashion loving, event planning, social hustler.  my bs is in business administration from the best HBCU in the world - Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University and i'm currently in school at USC for my MBA.  i currently work in public relations and i love what i do. 

my passion is fashion, kids, and money.  blame my mother for my closet.  being as i am not so far removed from my awesomely aweful teenage years - i love mentoring.  and who doesnt love money?  it's apart of my 9-5 to find sponsors and so forth, but i really really have a gift to turn $1 into $100.  (i mean something has got to pay for my habit!)

my focus of this blog is to just show that i really do indeed "like what i like."  take the journey with me! 

p.s.  i am soooo new to this blog thing so any questions, comments, and concerns are so appreciated!   email me at ilikewhatilike8@gmail.com please and thank you.
