Judy and Sheila's Excellent Adventure Day 4

Today started off beautifully....we awoke to a beautiful view from our private deck...the most amazing Red Rocks views I have ever seen! I immediately posted it on Facebook and had many comments! We were soooo excited...and why? We are in a beautiful spot...we are so blessed to be able to see these amazing views and we are set to have some new adventures today!

Then...we booked a luncheon at the most special place in Sedona....L'Auberge. We had a table creekside, shaded, and the most amazing food with some wonderfully chilled Sauvginon Blanc. What made this so over the top...I had lunched here 20 years ago when I was introduced to Sedona! I promised them I would return before 20 years later...and we were off! We shopped for a bit, found some bargains, some souvenirs, and then came back to change for our Pink Jeep Canyon Adventure.

We waited for them...and when they picked us up in front of our resort...the guide showed us the rain coming down in the Canyon and offered us an alternative tour...a Scenic Rim. Now...I opted for this immediately...but the others wanted to try and tough it out in an open Jeep. The driver looked at me...and I just KNEW how this would work out....and boy was I right. It seems that a monsoon rain was in the canyon...we were soaked, cold, and pretty disgusted when we agreed to turn back. The guide totally cancelled our trips, would not take any tips and offered us a redo on tomorrow morning.

I then took a very hot bath, had some tea, and crawled in my bed. Judy and I watched The Mentalist over and over, had some wonderful wine from California...and relaxed.

Lesson learned: Be thankful for every minute, every special experience, and always up for an adventure. You never learn from playing it safe...but ALWAYS need to be thankful for every gift of a special time! Don't wait 20 years to revisit the best ones either...today was incredibly special for me and I am, once again, thanking God, my wonderful husband and Judy for this adventure!

Raising my glass of California Chardonnay to you,

Vision for Success

Today is a Monday...the beginning of the work week...a day of dread or excitement? I think Mondays are a bit exciting because they bring new opportunities for growth. A new week to learn, expand, and grow in knowledge, contacts, experiences, etc. Who knows what is just around the next corner today as you start your work week? It may just be the referral you have been looking for...the interview you have been waiting for, the contact you need to bridge the gap between you and your dream referral! OR....it may offer many opportunities to serve and help others in ways you never thought possible. I daily ask to ALWAYS hear the cry of the needy and try to help in various ways. Speaking for myself, I feel the most complete when I have helped someone else achieve a goal, meet a need, or just feel better about themselves. Perhaps I can refer someone to them, connect them to someone who can offer them a job or some immediate help that is paramount to their situation. Now that I am retired...

Sheila's Senior Adventures

I love the word adventure, don't you? It sounds like so much fun and hopefully it is. When we grow up, sometimes our spirit of adventure suffers from adult syndrome and the fun aspect goes away. Well, I have determined that THE BEST IS YET TO COME for me so....my adventures are just beginning! Whether it is a night out with the girls, day trips in and around our Metroplex, or even exploring true Texas treasures, I LOVE having fun adventures. New experiences are exciting for me and I am finding I meet new friends everywhere! Here are THREE simple ideas: 1.Schedule a GIRLS ONLY night around a shopping/wine/chocolate experience. Suggested location: Watters Creek for all of it. Many dining/wine options, shopping extraordinaire, and Sublime Chocolate to top it off.  2. Invite your neighbors over for a Dinner Club party. How this works is YOU set the theme....such as my last one, A Flip Flop Summer Dinner Party. We made the entree and sent simple recipes out to our friends to pr...

To Act or Not To Act?

Today I was in my car, again listening to a SUCCESS Magazine DVD and Seth Godin was one of the contributors. He was talking about the importance of marketing NOW, not tomorrow...not next week...but NOW before any more time elapses. Is procrastination killing you? Do you feel if you send out some mass emails, print out some flyers, and mail out some postcards that you are done? How about if you buy some print ads in magazines? You've spent all your "marketing budget" so you must be done, right? Well...the world is changing so rapidly now that if you do not change your marketing strategy, you may not make it much longer. Ever heard that before? Want to change but don't know what to do? Well...the problem is not one that you can just throw money at UNLESS you hire a true professional to do it for you ( if you are interested...email me and I can recommend some very good ones ). But, if you want and need to do this yourself...just DO it...do not wait for the next new t...
