Mother's Day 2016; living in the moment

Sunday, May 8th, 2016

Happy Mother's Day to all of you mother's out there. We sure do deserve a day or 30 to celebrate us!

Being a mother is a hard job. Most of us sacrifice our happiness, wants, and needs on a daily basis - so for those of you who have given their all to their kids, my wish is that you had a spectacular day today. You deserve it!

We spent our day hiking, then had a late afternoon lunch/dinner picnic, then after quick showers we went to the movies to see Captain America, Civil War - which by the way is very good! It was great spending the day with my kids - minus one who had to work, but I was able to spend time with her last night. Luckily for me, my kids and I are all extremely close, so we don't only spend time together on holidays.

The greatest part of our day was that we realized at the end of it that no one had their phones on them while we were together. We just spent time together, talking, laughing, enjoying each others company without have to look at our phones or feeling compelled to take pictures and post them. It wasn't about anyone but us, it was our day, and it was perfect! Now I'm not saying our phones weren't in the car, (lol.) They were with us, but not on us.

Try to spend more time living your moments, instead of advertising them. You might find that you enjoy them even more.

Again, Happy Mother's Day!

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 ...

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
