TGIF....Thankful For Second Chances and Third.....

Well...it is here....another weekend! Everyone loves the weekend...right??? What plans do you have?
Going out? Working on home improvement projects? Since it is Summertime....maybe going to the beach or the pool? Cooking out? Does all of this sound good to you? 

Perhaps you would like to do some or all of this, but you have to work all weekend. If you are in the Event Business, you know what I mean...Not only will you be working this weekend, but you are THANKFUL for the business or just that you HAVE a job! And this is definitely HIGH WEDDING SEASON....which means lots of business for venues, DJs, Florists,Videographers, Photographers, Caterers,  etc. Dealing with brides and their families is BIG BUSINESS for the Event Industry!

Well...as I look forward to my weekend....I am THANKFUL FOR SECOND CHANCES! What do I mean by that? I just read a quote (paraphrased) "Sometimes Success is going from one failure to another until you get it right" Now...that means second, third, fourth...etc. chances....and I for one am incredibly THANKFUL!  Now...having said that....does that mean I count my former career as a "FAILURE"?
NOOOOOOO...Of course not! I, by the very Grace of God, catered for as many as 375 people at a time and lived to tell about it!!! Got recommendations from sooo many, got to meet so many wonderful people, and made quite a few very happy indeed! Established annual parties for some, celebrated many special events in their lives, and will always be thankful for the opportunities I have been given!

Having said that....my new OPPORTUNITY...allows me freedom to be at home on the weekends, plan fun activities with family and friends, and yes even to work on home improvement projects. The beach or pool? That will come (exercising daily) later...You know the old saying "Never Trust a Skinny Cook."  Well...not a problem here....AHEM! Now...where were we?

Oh, yes...please take every day as a gift from God....do with it all you can, love as much as you can, help as many as you can, and then pray for another day to try to get it right again! Your life can change in an instant...believe me! Do not miss any more potential memories feeling sorry for yourself for mistakes made...just LEARN from them and go FORWARD to face new challenges and yes, to make more mistakes...for after all is said and done...THE ONLY TRUE FAILURE IS THE FAILURE TO TRY!!!!

TGIF to you and I am raising my glass of refreshing Green Tea Punch to your success!
Recipe? Brew some green tea and let cool. Fill a glass half full with ice, add green tea to half full, add San Pellegrino orange to make glass 3/4 full and top off with Cranberry Juice! Wonderfully refreshing and healthy for the summertime!!!

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...

You Say You Want a Revolution?

"Revolution" is one of my ALL TIME favorite Beatle tunes. Actually, for several reasons...love the music, love the words, and love the idea!  The word revolutionary denotes something new, groundbreaking, and normally carries a positive tone...something to look forward to...better than before...full of hope for the future! Just think if you were one of the first to learn about GOOGLE, MICROSOFT, APPLE, etc....and were in on the ground floor...what an opportunity...and yes, certainly, REVOLUTIONARY! Well...I would like to introduce you to a revolutionary new concept just beginning TODAY, August 15, 2012....in all of the United States! It is called Clean Nation. Clean Nation offers every consumer the chance to change the environment in a revolutionary way by erasing their carbon footprint one megawatt at a time (a megawatt is 1000 kilowatts) and support the production of renewable energy sources of wind, solar, and hydro...which creates jobs right here in the United States!

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...
