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....

Sheila's Senior Adventures

I love the word adventure, don't you? It sounds like so much fun and hopefully it is. When we grow up, sometimes our spirit of adventure suffers from adult syndrome and the fun aspect goes away. Well, I have determined that THE BEST IS YET TO COME for me so....my adventures are just beginning! Whether it is a night out with the girls, day trips in and around our Metroplex, or even exploring true Texas treasures, I LOVE having fun adventures. New experiences are exciting for me and I am finding I meet new friends everywhere! Here are THREE simple ideas: 1.Schedule a GIRLS ONLY night around a shopping/wine/chocolate experience. Suggested location: Watters Creek for all of it. Many dining/wine options, shopping extraordinaire, and Sublime Chocolate to top it off.  2. Invite your neighbors over for a Dinner Club party. How this works is YOU set the theme....such as my last one, A Flip Flop Summer Dinner Party. We made the entree and sent simple recipes out to our friends to pr...

To Act or Not To Act?

Today I was in my car, again listening to a SUCCESS Magazine DVD and Seth Godin was one of the contributors. He was talking about the importance of marketing NOW, not tomorrow...not next week...but NOW before any more time elapses. Is procrastination killing you? Do you feel if you send out some mass emails, print out some flyers, and mail out some postcards that you are done? How about if you buy some print ads in magazines? You've spent all your "marketing budget" so you must be done, right? Well...the world is changing so rapidly now that if you do not change your marketing strategy, you may not make it much longer. Ever heard that before? Want to change but don't know what to do? Well...the problem is not one that you can just throw money at UNLESS you hire a true professional to do it for you ( if you are interested...email me and I can recommend some very good ones ). But, if you want and need to do this yourself...just DO it...do not wait for the next new t...

A Harvest of Blessings Coming Your Way

Right at this moment...I am feeling so overwhelmingly blessed...it is hard to convey! Why? Well, I still am feeling the effects of the Roadtrip throughout the Southwest and all the beauty we witnessed as well as the wonderful people we met along the way. I am excited about the Fall coming (even though today it will be 102 degrees) as it is definitely my favorite time of the year. Football is a big thing at our house, and last night it was competing with the Convention and The US Open so we were watching all three!  The Rangers are still winning and soon we will be playing in the playoffs!!! My Chili Cook Off Charity Event is looming, and donations are coming in well. My son is back in college and is actually enjoying it. I am enjoying cooking again... and trying new recipes! Looking forward to decorating the house for fall...my colors anyway!!! WHEW....See what I mean? Recently, on FaceBook, there have been several posts with the same theme....Don't Quit as Your Miracle is just a...
