TGIF....Thankful For Second Chances and Third.....

Well...it is here....another weekend! Everyone loves the weekend...right??? What plans do you have?
Going out? Working on home improvement projects? Since it is Summertime....maybe going to the beach or the pool? Cooking out? Does all of this sound good to you? 

Perhaps you would like to do some or all of this, but you have to work all weekend. If you are in the Event Business, you know what I mean...Not only will you be working this weekend, but you are THANKFUL for the business or just that you HAVE a job! And this is definitely HIGH WEDDING SEASON....which means lots of business for venues, DJs, Florists,Videographers, Photographers, Caterers,  etc. Dealing with brides and their families is BIG BUSINESS for the Event Industry!

Well...as I look forward to my weekend....I am THANKFUL FOR SECOND CHANCES! What do I mean by that? I just read a quote (paraphrased) "Sometimes Success is going from one failure to another until you get it right" Now...that means second, third, fourth...etc. chances....and I for one am incredibly THANKFUL!  Now...having said that....does that mean I count my former career as a "FAILURE"?
NOOOOOOO...Of course not! I, by the very Grace of God, catered for as many as 375 people at a time and lived to tell about it!!! Got recommendations from sooo many, got to meet so many wonderful people, and made quite a few very happy indeed! Established annual parties for some, celebrated many special events in their lives, and will always be thankful for the opportunities I have been given!

Having said that....my new OPPORTUNITY...allows me freedom to be at home on the weekends, plan fun activities with family and friends, and yes even to work on home improvement projects. The beach or pool? That will come (exercising daily) later...You know the old saying "Never Trust a Skinny Cook."  Well...not a problem here....AHEM! Now...where were we?

Oh, yes...please take every day as a gift from God....do with it all you can, love as much as you can, help as many as you can, and then pray for another day to try to get it right again! Your life can change in an instant...believe me! Do not miss any more potential memories feeling sorry for yourself for mistakes made...just LEARN from them and go FORWARD to face new challenges and yes, to make more mistakes...for after all is said and done...THE ONLY TRUE FAILURE IS THE FAILURE TO TRY!!!!

TGIF to you and I am raising my glass of refreshing Green Tea Punch to your success!
Recipe? Brew some green tea and let cool. Fill a glass half full with ice, add green tea to half full, add San Pellegrino orange to make glass 3/4 full and top off with Cranberry Juice! Wonderfully refreshing and healthy for the summertime!!!

You Look MAAHHVELOUS!

As I begin my journey to my hairstylist for an overhaul (color, cut, style, etc), I can not help but smile with anticipation. This is a treat that everyone should experience as having a professional make you look your best is priceless! When you leave the salon, you are smiling, your confidence level is soaring, you feel you can take on the world...and truth be told, you can! Now...if we could just translate this into the business world....hmmm. Well...the good news is you can! By practicing 3 daily habits, you can transform yourself everyday at home. How? 1. Read the likes of John Maxwell (my personal favorite) as he is both uplifting and real about leadership:how to develop into one, grow, and mentor and foster others. 2. Daily devotion time: Pray, give thanks, and turn over your cares and concerns to God. After all, he formed you for a purpose. It is said that we all have everything inside us for our mission in life. We just need development. As a person undergoing that develop...

Pay It Forward Friday

Now....I know what you may be thinking....ok...who does she want me to give money to now? Well....I want to tell you about my friend Joe. He owns an Automotive Shop in my city, and yes, he has helped our family many, many times...but that is not why I am writing about Joe. Joe started a practice of Pay It Forward Friday at his shop and he continues today. Joe now has two locations and is very active in both Chambers of Commerce and in many Veterans Groups as well. He began this practice because he is fully aware of the need to give back to the community. Where ever Joe is, whether he sees someone that he feels deserves a meal on him, or someone severely needing help, he is there. He recently went and cooked for the Firefighters in a nearby city just to show them that he cares, that WE all care. This goes WAY beyond paying for the person behind you in line at Starbucks, which is a great idea as well. But, you get the idea..... There are two verses that come to mind, Luke 12:48 state...

Find Your Tribe

You can not go anywhere these days without hearing something about your "tribe." Do you KNOW if you even HAVE a Tribe or if you do, WHO they are? FIND YOUR TRIBE "YOU KNOW, THE ONES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL THE MOST YOU. THE ONES THAT LIFT YOU UP AND HELP YOU REMEMBER WHO YOU REALLY ARE. THE ONES THAT REMIND YOU THAT A BLIP IN THE ROAD IS JUST THAT, A BLIP. THEY ARE THE ONES THAT WHEN YOU WALK OUT OF A ROOM, THEY MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE A BETTER PERSON THAN WHEN YOU WALKED IN. THEY ARE THE ONES THAT EVEN IF YOU DON'T SEE THEM FACE TO FACE AS OFTEN AS YOU'D LIKE, YOU SEE THEM HEART TO HEART. YOU KNOW, THAT KIND OF TRIBE? WHO'S YOUR TRIBE?" Jennifer Pastiloff Recently, the RSP (Really Smart People) will tell you that you are the sum total of the 5 people you spend the most time with aside from your workplace. I hope you are happy with them because they SHOULD be your tribe. I know I am happy with mine. I can not spend enough time with them. They REALLY ge...
