Cruising.... Dreaming the Eastern Carribean

You know -- I had never really thought about taking a cruise until I found out that I could earn one all expenses paid! How exciting is that? So I am on a mission this next 6 months to talk to as many people as I possibly can to show them how they can earn LOTS of FREE jewelry (heck I gave away over $9,000 in FREE jewelry in 2008 - can I double that this year?) as well as show individuals how they can build an incredible home based business. Do you know anyone that loves to accessorize, loves to stretch their dollar and is smart and savy and would love how to get an awesome return on their time and money? Is this you? Send them my way!!! Would love to chat with them for 30 minutes.

Friends... Some will Come... Some will Go

but they have been with you for a purpose. I look back over all these years (okay so who is counting???) and realize that there have been so many people in my life and yet not one was or should have been insignificant. It's interesting... I love to encourage others and learn from others. I remember a moment in time when one of my colleagues in the corporate world was commenting on the behavior and actions of one of the "Senior Managers" and how in appropriate their behavior had been. There are character traits that we both want to micmic and those we definitely don't want to have anything to do with. I consider these all lessons and ones we don't want to miss or overlook. Heck some of these lessons we want to get the first time because it is so painful to repeat the assignment. Who is teaching these lessons? I think many times these lessons are given by those in our circle of influence. Have you truly thought about what you have learned today, what you have applied to your own path or have decided to leave along the roadside? In return what is it that you have given back? It might be a great exercise to discuss with your friends -- those today and those you might meet in the future.

The Snow Globe -- Change

I read a story today about a snow globe. Do you remember as a child picking these up and just shaking the heck out of them? Well when you look around and spend any time listening to news reports about how the sky is falling it is very similar to when that snow globe has been shaken. There is unrest, uncertainity which scares a bunch of people. There is also a flip side to that.. the snow falls and it settles until the next event. We are all on a journey and we have all run into circumstances where our "world has been rocked or turned upside down". I think -- HOW EXCITING... okay maybe I am crazy -- but I know because I have experienced the globe being toppled and tossed around that there is so much JOY and EXCITEMENT on the other side if you know "whose" you are. HOPE... the one thing that will pull you through any storm. Just thought I would put this out there today. Need a little dose of HOPE??? Would be happy to share where my hope is flowing abundantly.
