Judy and Sheila's Excellent Adventure Day 6

Have you ever been to Santa Fe? If not...please take note of this day! Santa Fe is the gem of the Southwest in my book. It has it all....and we experienced a day full of art and beauty that can only be described as elegant pleasure for the senses.

We started our day with a breakfast at our B & B, walked to the Plaza (central shopping area of Santa Fe downtown) and saw the best the city has to offer in terms of Southwestern clothing, art galleries, Native American Jewelry, pottery, etc. Yes, we did some serious shopping....but that is another story.
We also met an artisan vendor who wants to show his work in our area and we can possibly connect him with the right people. That is the beauty of networking on vacation!!!

Then, off to the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum where we were immersed in fabulous artworks, learned about her life in a talk, shared with some participants afterwards who were from our area and have been best friends for 50 years and were on a trip themselves! We just made new friends at the Museum!!! This was a wonderful Museum that needs to be on your agenda when you visit Santa Fe!

By this time, it was time for refreshment and we headed to Zia Diner for Happy Hour with drink and appetizer specials, noshing on Baked Artichokes with Parmesan (no...not a dip...they were WONDERFUL) and a Green Chili/Asiago Pie that was to die for...along with some cool beverages on their wonderful patio. This was very close to our B&B and we walked home happy! As we arrived, some other residents who were enjoying their patio invited us over and asked about our day...we chatted about everything for at least 1 hour!

Now...we went in to change for another adventure....what to do tonight? We decided to check out the Southwest Bluegrass Festival at the Fairgrounds and heard two bands play, met some nice people, came back and enjoyed some nachos and of course, some very good wine! A perfect ending to a picture perfect day!!!

Lesson Learned from Today: There are nice people everywhere....just be open and offer a smile, a kind word, and show them what you purchased at the Plaza...works everytime! New friends abound!!!!

Tomorrow? More Plaza shopping, a famous Santa Fe Brunch, and then goodbye to Santa Fe as we head towards home.

Guess what? Almost midnight and NO RAIN!!!! Can you believe it?

Raising my glass of Syrah to you.....

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...

Reinvent Yourself

Hello again! It has been awhile, right? 5 years to be exact. WHEW! A lot has happened.... but what you need to know is that I am HAPPY and probably HAPPIER than I have ever been, at least as far as I can remember.... You see, I am HAPPY because of many reasons, not the least of which is because I am quite comfortable in my own skin. Yes, I am older and yes, I am considered a Senior now. WOW! Who ever thinks about what that will feel like? Actually, for the most part, I feel the same. I am a little slower now, although my life is very busy and I make people tired just reading my Facebook posts of all the events I attend. But, I notice I tire more easily, and crave more down time than before. I actually look forward to those days when I personally have nothing in addition to my work plans. Speaking of my work, I will update you on my current passion....I am the Director of Community Services for a law firm, Haiman Hogue, PLLC.  That title means that I plan EVENTS! Wow....I have c...
