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 at a FUN event where EVERY dollar raised goes to Camp Craig Allen. They are a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization dedicated to the "overlooked" physically disabled children, adults and Veterans of North Texas. They encourage self-awareness, positive influence and independence through therapeutic, educational and recreational programs.
The event that I am speaking about is their Annual Amateur BBQ Cookoff & Music Fest on October 6 and 7 at Toyota Stadium in Frisco. Check this out at www.campcraigallen.org

I know that, from my experience, the more you share of yourself and give to others, the more your heart grows and grows. You become a new and enhanced version of yourself that is one step closer to your life goal. You learn from each person whom you meet and your worldview is definitely widened. I have often felt guilty as I feel I have received more than I have given. This is when you know that you have a heart for mission. After all, we are ONE people....ONE humankind, all trying to survive on this planet and to do so, we are called to help each other.

I hope this post has given you some food for thought as you relax this weekend...maybe take time to think about what YOU are doing to make a difference and if you are not happy with the answer, then always remember there is still time to change the road you are on....and I would be happy to suggest many local opportunities for you to check out if you would message me. Maybe one of them is right up your alley!

Have a blessed weekend...and I would love to hear from you!

Savour The Moments

As I have just returned from a vacation, I can't help but reflect on each moment of that vacation and truly savour it....as it was a wonderful, much needed trip for my husband and myself. As a caterer, you are so involved in making special events come true for others that oftentimes you treat your events as just another job, just wanting to get through them and not savouring the moments at all. On this trip we chose to go to The Texas Hill Country for a restful romantic retreat at a luxurious Inn called Rose Hill Manor. It is touted as a Wine Country Experience and that it is, and much more. Guests there choose their rooms, all themed....ours was the Library Loft which is over the Carriage House with its own private entrance and private deck. This room was beautifully appointed with a large window seat flanked by bookshelves teeming with books of all kinds, from classics to encyclopedias to romance novels. Beautiful rich wood toned king size bed and armoire and hardwood...

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...

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...
