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,

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...

Graduation Season

Well, it is Graduation Season now.... and we have been going to many graduation parties for our neighbors' children, our friends' children and grandchildren. This is a monumental day for any teenager, parent, or grandparent alike and there is nothing like that feeling! A feeling of accomplishment, a scary feeling of the unknown, excitement for the new life beginning, and prayers of thanksgiving for their lives. I remember this day like it was yesterday... Chad was excited, but probably not as excited as we were! Our only child graduating from High School with a College Scholarship and the world was going to be his oyster. It was pouring down rain that day, but nothing could dampen our spirits. We had a big party that weekend with family and friends, lots of food and drink, and of course, pictures to commemorate the day. As I look on him today, 10 years later, I am so very proud of the young man he is becoming. Hard lessons he has learned, and he has had more than his ...
