Judy and Sheila's Excellent Adventure Day 2

Have you ever seen anything so totally beautiful you were moved to tears? Well...I hope you make it to The Grand Canyon one day soon. I was so excited about seeing it, had heard so much about it, seen so many pictures, etc....but NOTHING could prepare me for the beauty I experienced today! I have never seen God's handiwork like this....and could never imagine how beautiful and special this place is. I was awestruck the moment I first saw the panorama and just could not take my eyes off the view. We just kept walking and taking pictures, and my feelings just grew! This was one of my Bucket List experiences and Thank You is all I can say. Thank You to God for this magical place, Thank you to my husband for treating me to this trip, Thank you to Judy for coming up with this idea, etc.

We happen to be staying in The Grand Hotel...also a wonderful place that I would highly recommend. It is just minutes from The South Rim and we will continue to enjoy The Grand Canyon tomorrow as we go on a hike labeled "difficult" to see some more interesting parts of the canyon.
We will also be exploring the Grand Canyon Village and seeing the old historic parts there as well.

We have met and chatted with, heard, and seen visitors today from so many countries, it felt like we were at the United Nations today! Here are just a few: England, France (HUGE group), Italy, The Netherlands, India, China, Japan, Germany, Canadians, Russians, Mexico, and more that I could not personally denote. Some shared with us that they were also moved to tears as they saw the awesome wonder of the panoramic vistas. One shed some tears as she was remembering the beauty tonight as we were chatting after dinner.

Lesson for today: We are all one people, separated by place, experience and culture, but brought together to appreciate TRUE BEAUTY in the world.  Now...if we could just build on that commonality....

I raise my glass of Syrah to you in hopes that you too may come to experience this beauty for yourself!

Tomorrow....after all full day here....off to Sedona, a truly magical place....

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...
