The Color of Money and Much More
Green is the most universally accepted color along with blue, but it does depend on the shade or tint. Most veterans are not fans of camouflage green and that means sage and moss as well. If you are specifying apple green make sure you know where your apples are from! Certainly a Washington apple will…
House On The Market
Quiet holiday… I’m finding that my mood this holiday season is quiet. I never would have imagined not having wrestled the zillions of holiday ornaments out of storage and into my garage by now. Usually I am knee deep in Christmas decorations, herds of lighted deer, Santa blowups and more. I won honorary addition to…
Change Direction for a New Perspective
I often enjoy getting outdoors for exercise particularly in the cool crisp temperatures of approaching winter. Just 2-3 miles is enough to clear my head, open my mind, and renew my vision. Recently, I reversed my usual walk and was surprised at how completely different the very same route looked from a new direction. It…
Self Esteem Sabotage and How to Avoid It!
I’ve gotten to a neat place in my life, I like me. Do you like you? I asked a great friend recently, a lady that I consider to be a singularly terrific person, wildly successful entrepreneur, generous friend, loving daughter and sister, gracious hostess and much more, and she said “no.” I was floored. I…
November Update
I am guilty! Yes, it happens, procrastination sets in every now and again and I allow it to get the better of me. This was due out Tuesday and it is only now coming to you. I apologize for the delay. There is no reason, and excuses are just hot air. The good news is…
Why Bigger Isn’t Better!
I had a very trying experience this week with one of my usually favorite vendors, FedEx. I had brought with me an armload of manuals, books, and professional materials that needed boxing and got them into the best box, and I even snagged a single sheet of wrapping paper to prevent things from shifting about.…
Birthday/Halloween Party
The Big Bash! I had a fabulous party on Saturday evening, post birthday and pre-holiday. There is nothing more frustrating than trying to plan a holiday soiree and competing with the world for an available date that everyone can make it. I beat the rush and we had a grand time. Do It The Easy…
What’s Your Good Story?
In attending the James Ray Harmonic Wealth Weekend recently, he used a term “good story” to remind us of the many ways we each hold ourselves back. It was a valuable reminder. How often do you say to yourself: “I’m too busy; I don’t have time; I’m waiting for the right time; I don’t have…
Halloween Tricks and Tips
Well, I went and did it this year! I couldn’t find my last year’s blow ups (can you say too much stuff in storage?!) So, I indulged in a new one. The Grim Reaper with his Scythe at Arms length is too great! Combined with the glow footprints in the flower bed, the orange lit…
Happy Halloween
Happy All Hallows Eve! I’ve been amazed by the proliferation of Halloween goods, decorations, foods and more. From the Spirit Stores to the latest mini-food offerings for trick or treaters from Frito-Lay, mini-bags of potato chips. It is spooky how much consumerism is centered around a one night holiday and mainly for kids! What if…
