Time spent with family!

Lately I've been really missing my Dad. Everyday it was nagging at me like a minor headache. Maybe it was because I was away for Father's Day and didn't get to see him. I finally told my husband last week, "we need to go see my Dad." His response, "we'll be spending a week with him in a couple weeks on our family vacation." My response, "that's too far away." Since there is very little that my husband won't do for me, we drove down to visit. They only live about 3 hours south of us, so it's not too far. We spent quality time with my Dad, Stepmom, Brothers, sister in law, nephews, and my sons who also came down. It was a totally fantastic weekend! Much needed time with everyone and completely stress free! Now in less than 2 week's we'll all be together again for our family vacation, needless to say we are all super excited for that.

I think sometimes you just have to listen to that inner voice that tells you when you're missing someone. Don't just ignore it. You may not always be able to drive there, but remember, you can pick up the phone and call.

There's never too much time spent with your family and friends! You will never regret time spent with people you love, whether in person or on the phone. My biggest regrets in life; the amount of time I didn't spend with my loved ones who are already gone.

The next time you think "I don't feel like driving xx amount of hours to see my Mom, my Grandma, my cousins, my friends." Remember, there may come a day where driving a million miles won't get you to them. I'd drive a million miles today to see my Grandma again!

Building Self-Discipline; Step 1

So how do we build self-discipline? First we figure out where we need self-discipline in our life. What are the areas in your life that you are struggling with? These are usually things you want to do, but for some reason you don't do them. Here are some ideas. Exercising, cooking meals, laundry, networking, de-cluttering, organizing your desk at work, yoga, meditation... the list could go on and on. Think about your list for a minute. Now, write down 2 or 3 things that you know you want to do, but keep putting off. These are things that you know would make an impact in your life. Now, next to each item, write down why you're not doing them AND why you want to do them. # selfdiscipline # lifehack # gettingstuffdone # liveyourbestlife #jimrohnquote MW Copyright 2017

The Ins and Outs of Networking

I thought I'd talk about networking for those who are just starting out in their networking journey. And maybe, just maybe, someone who's a pro, will learn something or get a new idea. When you start out on your journey of networking, you're not sure what you're going to find. If you're like me, you're a little intimidated by everyone. They all seem so put together, so confident. It feels like everyone knows everyone else and you don't know anyone! You might sit there thinking "What the heck am I doing here?" But guess what? What you're feeling is 100% normal. And guess what else? We all felt the same way when we started networking. Because I'm one of those people who remembers feeling that way, I make it a point to go out of my way to talk to newbies, show them around, introduce them to others, give them networking advice. It's funny because the very first networking group I ever attended is the one that I'm currently the
