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...

Recipe for Success

Along the way in my eight year journey with Tea 'n Mystery, I have learned many lessons, all of them the hard way...I can assure you! But one thing is clear...there is a TRUE recipe for success and it is true in ANY business venture that you start! Want my recipe for success? First...here are some things NOT to do.... 1.GO IT ALONE Think you are different? I did...I thought all these people who kept telling me to educate myself with reading from business leaders like John Maxwell, Jim Rohn, Brian Tracy, Tony Robbins, Steven Covey (who REALLY scared me...yes I admit it) just didn't know or understand what I was about! Surely, if they did...they would understand that I was different and did not need those books to succeed. I had the desire, the innate love of dealing with the public (which in my case translated into pleasing them at all costs to myself and the business), and was a great cook who could follow any recipe out there! Except the recipe that I needed most of all....t...

Memorial Day Recipe: Red, White and Blueberry Pie

When I think of Memorial Day weekend...I immediately think of sun, water (usually the pools open this weekend), BBQs, and Flags. This is a weekend to enjoy with family and friends, but to remember those who have gone before us as well. Here in the United States, we pause to remember those who gave their lives in service to our country on Memorial Day. I hear "Taps" playing in my head and see images of white crosses lining Arlington National Cemetary. This is a time of remembrance and to count our blessings as well. Hopefully, wherever you are, you have this tradition in one way or another. I have been very blessed in my life and as such...enjoy giving back now...whether in my own community, to disaster victims, to help others get back on their feet, and to raise funds for needed improvements to landmarks, etc. I especially enjoy helping raise funds for programs that offer a hand up, not a hand out to change people's lives forever. All that being said...when you are th...
