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!

It's really ok to take a break

Sometimes when you're not motivated it's because your literraly burnt out. And that's ok. When you've been doing too much for too long, it's ok to take a break. However, before you start that break, write down some of the things you're going to do after the break.. This helps to keep the things you want to do at the top of your mind without feeling guilty that you're taking a break. So what do I mean by taking a break? It can be ... in any form you desire and/or can afford. We'd all love our break to be a long vacation to someplace we really want to go, but it can be as simple as taking a walk or even spending an entire weekend binge-watching your favorite shows. Just make sure it's a plan and that you know when you've had you're break, you're going to start on that "thing" you've been putting off. 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 ...

Re-evaluating Social Media in my life

What is the purpose of social media in your life? This is the question I've been pondering for a while now. What do each of these outlets bring to me, give to me, or help me with? Facebook Twitter Instagram Snap Chat Pinterest LinkedIn Alignable So many people say they're using social media for their business, while others say you have to be using social media for your business. I believe that's true in some businesses - especially if you're selling a product like t shirts, jewelry, weight loss plans, or other tangible items. But, I'm not sure which really help in the service and intangible industries. With that said, I'm an insurance agent. I sell a piece of paper that gives you piece of mind and aggravation because you are obligated to buy it. Is anyone really interested in reading blogs or articles about insurance? Even insurance humor is mainly funny to insurance people. So where does that leave me with my posts? I have used it in a mostly pers...
