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!

There are only 24 hours in a day!

I've learned that I can only do so much. My business is booming, my marriage is flourishing, my personal health and fitness goals are in tip-top shape, but there is so much more going on in life. Spending time with family, spending time with friends, working on projects inside and outside of the house. Life gets completely crazy at times and it feels like the list of things to do, places to be, people to see never ends. The result: some things get put on the back burner. Like blogging. It's something I do to keep track of what I'm doing, where I am on my goals, and hopefully to motivate a few people at the same time. Here's where I'm at; Business: I am still out there networking, I have made so many new friends and am building great relationships. I am still working on single-tasking. I KNOW that it's the key to getting things done for me. However, I still have my days where I am so busy that I lapse back into my habit of multi-tasking. I do realiz...

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 ...
