Channeling Miranda Priestly.

Remember a few weeks ago when I posted some of my goals for the next five years?

Well, one of them was to become a "digital marketing thought leader." Kind of a broad statement. But I had to be vague. It was a combination of not wanting to jinx myself and trying to be quiet as things were in the works. What I really wanted to write was, "become a digital marketing vice president before the age of 35."

And now I am.

This is one of the reasons - the main one - why have not blogged much this year. Between doing the Bikram 101 Challenge, deciding to go to training and getting the blessing for the leave of absence... I was also busting my ass to prove that I was able to be the Vice President of the search marketing firm I work at.

With an executive title... This means I need to start living the executive life. I think that means:

• Power workouts at 5:30am
• Power breakfasts of power smoothies
• Power suits are to be worn with power heels and powerful hair
• Power lunches are to be taken, with rare steaks and steamed veggies
• Powerful hot yoga will be needed at the end of most days to de-stress
• And a powerful glass of red wine will be needed to decompress at the end of the day

And if I say "power" enough, I will actually be able to con myself into thinking I actually have some.

But for now, I will go to bed this evening with dreams of my new executive idol in my head...

Miranda Priestly.
