Judy and Sheila's Excellent Adventure Day 2

Have you ever seen anything so totally beautiful you were moved to tears? Well...I hope you make it to The Grand Canyon one day soon. I was so excited about seeing it, had heard so much about it, seen so many pictures, etc....but NOTHING could prepare me for the beauty I experienced today! I have never seen God's handiwork like this....and could never imagine how beautiful and special this place is. I was awestruck the moment I first saw the panorama and just could not take my eyes off the view. We just kept walking and taking pictures, and my feelings just grew! This was one of my Bucket List experiences and Thank You is all I can say. Thank You to God for this magical place, Thank you to my husband for treating me to this trip, Thank you to Judy for coming up with this idea, etc.

We happen to be staying in The Grand Hotel...also a wonderful place that I would highly recommend. It is just minutes from The South Rim and we will continue to enjoy The Grand Canyon tomorrow as we go on a hike labeled "difficult" to see some more interesting parts of the canyon.
We will also be exploring the Grand Canyon Village and seeing the old historic parts there as well.

We have met and chatted with, heard, and seen visitors today from so many countries, it felt like we were at the United Nations today! Here are just a few: England, France (HUGE group), Italy, The Netherlands, India, China, Japan, Germany, Canadians, Russians, Mexico, and more that I could not personally denote. Some shared with us that they were also moved to tears as they saw the awesome wonder of the panoramic vistas. One shed some tears as she was remembering the beauty tonight as we were chatting after dinner.

Lesson for today: We are all one people, separated by place, experience and culture, but brought together to appreciate TRUE BEAUTY in the world.  Now...if we could just build on that commonality....

I raise my glass of Syrah to you in hopes that you too may come to experience this beauty for yourself!

Tomorrow....after all full day here....off to Sedona, a truly magical place....

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...

Judy and Sheila's Excellent Adventure: Home Stretch

Well...sad as we were to leave...we are also glad to be home safely! We left Lubbock by 10 this morning and were home safely a little after 4 today!  We chose the small town route...a scenic route...other than the Interstate and it was certainly more interesting viewing. I downloaded my pictures today and am very excited to report most are quite good and am going to print some picture books with my Creative Memories Consultant, Deb Ramsey. That way they are recorded for all time!!! My generous husband...for providing me this opportunity...and I were recapping the trip and how it has expanded my viewpoints on our America the Beautiful. Truly, we were in three of the most beautiful places in America for sure. The Grand Canyon...Sedona...and Santa Fe. All three different, but all three very special indeed. Then add in...The London Bridge, The Meteor Crater, Albuquerque, etc....and you have the best that the Southwest has to offer!!! I must admit...I was happy to see my Texas Sta...

Judy and Sheila's Excellent Adventure Day 3

Do you believe in Serendipity? We certainly do! Today...the plan was to be out by 9, on the hiking trail by 9:30 and so on....well...that's not exactly what happened. Here is the story.... Do you own a Subaru? If so...then listen up...if the keys are left in the Subaru ignition by accident for even 1 hour (which is what happened this morning), then....it shuts down all power...will not even lock the doors...will not unlock the hatch...etc. We tried to talk with the dealership and they were not helpful...so we found a person at the Lodge who was willing to jump Judy's Subaru and guess what? It worked perfectly! Now...this took extra time...so we did not get to start the trail until 11:15, but here is where Serendipity comes in to play. This threw us in the mix with so many people in line for the shuttle bus to our planned trailhead. While in line, Judy struck up a conversation with the lady in front...told her our situation and she asked why we were not trying the trail righ...
