Judy and Sheila's Excellent Adventure Day 5

Well...Friday was a REALLY long day...jam packed with adventures! Ever been on a Pink Jeep Tour?  Well...after the MONSOON washed us out on Thursday night...we rebooked and went Friday morning. Had a wonderful breakfast in uptown Sedona and then met our tour guide and headed out! This was a 2 hour Canyon Tour and the views were spectacular as promised! Learned a lot about the land, the plants, the history...Sedona is named for Sedona Schnebly who was much beloved, the wife of Carl (T.C.) and they came out west at the urging of Carl's brother who was already farming in the area close to Flagstaff. Carl was hardworking, very successful, and they built a two story house. Soon Carl sought to open a Post Office and applied for a name. He chose Sedona's name and everyone was happy as she was known for her wonderful hospitality!

The weather was perfect but there were dark clouds looming...we found out that Sedona usually averages only 14 inches of rain annually, but had received half that since we were there!!! Who knew? Our guide also told us of the naming of the spectacular Red Rock Formations, and some other important sites that we should not miss. One of them being...The Chapel of the Holy Cross. So...we headed out to visit...beautiful, awe inspiring and we lit candles and prayed for lots of friends and family!

Then...off to Santa Fe. Okay...we only made it to Oak Creek Vista before a stop was needed. It was a beautiful spot, scenic outlook, and boasted an Indian Marketplace. There were many deals to be had...and yes, we did take advantage of them! But at the end, we got RAINED on again....so we ran to the car and headed out again.

On the road again...we then stopped for lunch and decided our course of action...but chose to stop again at the Meteor Crater site close to Winslow, Arizona. Thinking this a 30 minute detour....nooo...this is a ticketed site with a movie, guide, etc. and we wound up being there 1.5 hours. Now...it is 4:30....and we REALLY vow to keep going...

Long story short...we arrived at our B&B in Santa Fe at MIDNIGHT!!! After some GOOD red wine, we got some much needed rest and now have had a wonderful breakfast. Today: Plaza (5 blocks) and The Georgia O'Keefe Museum, good food, and great wine!!! Weather beautiful now...but...as you might guess...rain looming, especially for tonight.

Lesson for today: Need some rain in your area? Call Judy and Sheila...we bring it with us! Also...need some adventures in your dull, boring life? Give us a call...we can give you some ideas to liven up even the most boring drives on the planet!

All for now...I raise my Organic Green Ginger Tea (I am in Santa Fe) to you....

Vision for Success

Today is a Monday...the beginning of the work week...a day of dread or excitement? I think Mondays are a bit exciting because they bring new opportunities for growth. A new week to learn, expand, and grow in knowledge, contacts, experiences, etc. Who knows what is just around the next corner today as you start your work week? It may just be the referral you have been looking for...the interview you have been waiting for, the contact you need to bridge the gap between you and your dream referral! OR....it may offer many opportunities to serve and help others in ways you never thought possible. I daily ask to ALWAYS hear the cry of the needy and try to help in various ways. Speaking for myself, I feel the most complete when I have helped someone else achieve a goal, meet a need, or just feel better about themselves. Perhaps I can refer someone to them, connect them to someone who can offer them a job or some immediate help that is paramount to their situation. Now that I am retired...

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...

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...
