Best Friends




Today is Best Friends day. What a wonderful day to celebrate as my friends mean the world to me! I have been very blessed with many friends over the years.  Recently, while at a Bridal Shower, I wrote the bride-to-be my advice.....NEVER lose your Girl Friends, because they will become more important to you as time goes on.

I love my husband and son with all of my heart, but....I will NOT give up my girlfriends, because that relationship is so very special, it is treasured. We laugh together, cry together, support each other in ways men do not understand, and ALWAYS have each others' backs.

I happen to have 4 BEST Friends in this country whom I see at my church regularly, email, FaceBook, and we schedule regular events like Happy Hours where we solve all the world's problems. We have a "Birthday Club" where we celebrate each one's birthday specially with food, wine, gifts, and lots of love and laughter. We have also been with each other through tragedy and triumph...hospitals, funerals, divorce, accidents, graduations, and weddings. No other love is like this!

I have 1 BEST Friend who moved away to another state a few years ago. God put us together thirty years ago and she and I have been through illness, divorce, unspeakable child tragedy, and losing our parents. She taught me so much about love and faith and the human spirit. She will always hold a very special place in my heart!

I have 1 BEST Friend whom lives far, far away in another country that I do not get to see that often. We have to live vicariously through FaceBook or other means to keep in contact. We have been friends since we were 6 years old....yes, before most of you readers were born! But when we get together, after a while of basic catching up, we can pick right back up where we started. I LOVE her to pieces and she knows it without a doubt. She knows me better than anyone because she was raised similarly in the same small town, and we knew all the same people, etc.

So...this is MY TRIBE of BEST FRIENDS whom I am soooo thankful for and will always aspire to be THEIR FRIEND too!

Please reach out to YOUR Besties today and let them know how much they mean to you. I know I will.

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...

Making A Difference

Doesn't everyone want to feel like they are making a difference in this world? I know I do! I have met some powerful people this past week who are DEFINITELY making a difference in the world by mentoring, helping the disabled, helping non-profits raise much needed funds, helping restore local treasures, and helping heal broken relationships. What are YOU doing to  make a difference? Need a place to plug in? There is a Senior Job and Volunteer Fair coming up on Tuesday, September 12 in Frisco from 10-3. Maybe you attend and find a place that speaks to you so that you can start volunteering. Maybe your company is looking for some new talent and could look to hire active adult seniors with tons of life experience. This wonderful event is being held at the Frisco Senior Center and is sponsored by The Senior Services Alliance of Frisco, a group of the Frisco Chamber of Commerce. Check this out at www.frisocchamberofcommerce.com Our firm is also sponsoring the Silent Auction Tent a...

Pay It Forward Friday

Now....I know what you may be thinking....ok...who does she want me to give money to now? Well....I want to tell you about my friend Joe. He owns an Automotive Shop in my city, and yes, he has helped our family many, many times...but that is not why I am writing about Joe. Joe started a practice of Pay It Forward Friday at his shop and he continues today. Joe now has two locations and is very active in both Chambers of Commerce and in many Veterans Groups as well. He began this practice because he is fully aware of the need to give back to the community. Where ever Joe is, whether he sees someone that he feels deserves a meal on him, or someone severely needing help, he is there. He recently went and cooked for the Firefighters in a nearby city just to show them that he cares, that WE all care. This goes WAY beyond paying for the person behind you in line at Starbucks, which is a great idea as well. But, you get the idea..... There are two verses that come to mind, Luke 12:48 state...
