Throughout May I have randomly participated in Jenni’s challenge from Story of My Life to blog every day during the month of May. Jenni has given us a topic per day and today’s challenge is for us to write about things we have learned that school did not teach us. It’s been a LONG time since I’ve been in school and at this point in life I kind of feel like the only purpose ...

I’m jumping back on the Blog Every Day In May Challenge again today simply because I love the topic. How can I not smile when I think about ten things that makes me really happy? Narrowing it down to ten things is difficult, but here we go!
Summer time is almost here and earlier today I started planning my first trip to the ...

Day six of Blog Every Day In May asks the question “If you couldn’t answer with your job, how would you answer the question ‘what do you do?’”
Here’s my attempt at answering that question.
I’ve discovered that most people do not like the job they have – that they would like to do something with a little more meaning or to to find a way to stay home with their kids, while still earning good money. I’ve discovered that ...

Jenni from Story of My Life has challenged us to write about our favorite quote today. I love inspirational quotes and tweet them constantly, but it’s very difficult for me to select an overall favorite. Give me a topic or a theme and I can share a quote with you that stands out, but picking out one particular quote that is the “it” quote, that’s a challenge!
I have a document of over 1,400 quotes ...

A few months ago, President Obama took a lot of heat for a comment he had made about how no business truly makes it on its own, that everyone gets help along the way. I definitely do not want to get into a political debate, but I do understand the core of what he said (even if I do believe he worded it badly and at an inopportune time).
We often see successful people and only notice the successful individual. But ...

Some mornings we wake up and we are ready to conquer the world! Other mornings we wake up and don’t want to leave the comfort of our bed and the warmth of our blankets. Some days we feel like we’re motivated enough to tackle any challenge thrown our way, yet other days we could care less if our to-do list even gets looked at. When you work at home, how do you stay motivated? How do you deal with the ...

Last week I posted “The Top 7 Books To Help Grow Your Business“ and one of the books I mentioned was a book by John L. Mason called An Enemy Called Average. This book has made a huge impact on me through the years. It was a book that traveled with me, was thrown in the briefcase, suitcase, computer bag and was perfect for reading bits and pieces at a time. I literally wore the cover out ...

I remember the days oh-so-well. I was working 50-60 hours a week, traveling like crazy and running from one meeting to the next. Fast food was eaten at least twice a day and my only exercise consisted of climbing the stairs to my hotel room. My mom told me to be sure to take the time to “enjoy the little things in life.” I kind of chuckled when she ...

I don’t write checks anymore because I pay all of my bills online. If I read a newspapers, I read it online. The past twenty or so books I’ve read have all been on my iPad. I read scripture on my iPhone and take notes on my phone. Trips to the library have been replaced by Google. I pay my tab at food trucks on my phone and order ...
The infamous doctors of Rodan & Fields almost always end their videos with the phrase “Skin – it’s a beautiful thing, wear it well.” When I saw this graphic, I immediately thought “Forgiveness, it’s a beautiful thing.” I know first hand the beauty that comes from forgiveness. Both from receiving forgiveness, and from being the one who is offering forgiveness. I also know the harm that comes from unforgiveness, or not forgiving.
I’ve had to forgive a lot the past couple ...
