David Kibbe's Power of Style

Introduction

A Word of Welcome

Dear Friend,

Hello and welcome to my world! We are about to begin a journey together that I hope will transform your life.

If you are an old friend returning, I am overjoyed to have you back. If this is your inaugural trip with me, I invite you to join with open arms. This is a voyage through a land of self-discovery. Here you will learn many exciting eye-openers, new concepts that I am grateful to be the mes-
senger of:

***BEAUTY COMES FROM INDIVIDUALITY.

***STYLE EVOLVES FROM IDENTITY.

***THERE ARE NO “FLAWS”—ONLY UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS.

***YOU ARE EXACTLY WHO YOU ARE “SUPPOSED” TO BE.

***THERE IS ONLY ONE “YOU.”

***YOU ARE A STAR—IT IS YOUR IRREFUTABLE BIRTHRIGHT.

These are but a few of the basic stopovers along our travels. We will take the time to explore all the who, what, whys, and hows of all these fundamentals, each of which is essential to achieve your transcendent meta-morphosis.

These are the bedrocks my work is based upon. Every element of what we are about to explore comes from the application of these epiphanies.

So let me be your guide, your friend, your confidant, as we get ready to set sail. This is a journey of aspiration, fueled straight from the heart, cen- tered in the soul.

And so, let me introduce to you A BRAND-NEW VISION:

LOVE-BASED BEAUTY.

Our destination: your transformation. My ultimate goal: to give you your wings.
