Judy and Sheila's Excellent Adventure Day 4

Today started off beautifully....we awoke to a beautiful view from our private deck...the most amazing Red Rocks views I have ever seen! I immediately posted it on Facebook and had many comments! We were soooo excited...and why? We are in a beautiful spot...we are so blessed to be able to see these amazing views and we are set to have some new adventures today!

Then...we booked a luncheon at the most special place in Sedona....L'Auberge. We had a table creekside, shaded, and the most amazing food with some wonderfully chilled Sauvginon Blanc. What made this so over the top...I had lunched here 20 years ago when I was introduced to Sedona! I promised them I would return before 20 years later...and we were off! We shopped for a bit, found some bargains, some souvenirs, and then came back to change for our Pink Jeep Canyon Adventure.

We waited for them...and when they picked us up in front of our resort...the guide showed us the rain coming down in the Canyon and offered us an alternative tour...a Scenic Rim. Now...I opted for this immediately...but the others wanted to try and tough it out in an open Jeep. The driver looked at me...and I just KNEW how this would work out....and boy was I right. It seems that a monsoon rain was in the canyon...we were soaked, cold, and pretty disgusted when we agreed to turn back. The guide totally cancelled our trips, would not take any tips and offered us a redo on tomorrow morning.

I then took a very hot bath, had some tea, and crawled in my bed. Judy and I watched The Mentalist over and over, had some wonderful wine from California...and relaxed.

Lesson learned: Be thankful for every minute, every special experience, and always up for an adventure. You never learn from playing it safe...but ALWAYS need to be thankful for every gift of a special time! Don't wait 20 years to revisit the best ones either...today was incredibly special for me and I am, once again, thanking God, my wonderful husband and Judy for this adventure!

Raising my glass of California Chardonnay to you,

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...
