The Power of ONE

If you are anywhere near my age, then you are familiar with the words, "One is the lonliest number that you'll ever do.." from Three Dog Night. I have thought a lot about this over the years and this is certainly not always true. How many of us know people who enter into relationships that, ultimately, are harmful to them simply because they did not want to be alone? Tragic. Psychologists will tell you that if you do not love yourself first, you are incapable of truly loving anyone else.
 Also...how many of you have heard people say, "Well...I am just one person so I can not m
ake a difference anyway." Again WRONG!!! One candle lit in the darkness can light up an entire room. One person standing up for what they truly believe can change the world....it just takes one! Just ask Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Teresa, etc.

I was reminded of this today by my young friend Katy Geertsen who has taught me many things over the years. She sent me this today on FB... "One tree can start a forest, one smile can begin a friendship, one hand can lift a soul, one word can frame the goal, one candle can wipe out darkness, one laugh can raise our spirits, and one choice can change your life!" How WISE is this....I have written this down in my journal and plan to review it daily lest I never forget it!

Choices are crucial to our development...both personally and in business. Try to make wise choices, choices that do not compromise your values or ideals as those are most certainly detrimental to your growth. It has been my experience that most shortcuts in life fall into this category. There is no ethical, easy ride in life....it is simply working day by day keeping your ultimate goals in mind. You will make some bad choices, we all do from time to time...the difference is how you recover from them. When you discover the erroneous path....then change it immediately...do not keep repeating it or dwell on your mistakes. Asking God for daily direction and wisdom is the key.

What if you could make a difference today by reducing our carbon footprint on this earth? Would you be interested? That is just the opportunity that CLEAN NATION offers. Check it out ...a positive choice that anyone can make to impact future generations....<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/v7PpfdKzv44" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Here's to your success...I raise my cup of Cherry Blossom Green to you today,

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...
