Stop running for a minute, and breathe..

Go, go, go. It seems that is the way we have to function if we have any hope of keeping up with the race that life can become. Priorities push and pull us in different directions. Travel here, go there, pick up one here, take another there. Do you sometimes feel like life is dragging you along at a pace that is just a little to fast? I make an effort to keep things under control, but it speeds up a little at a time, until without realising it happened, I am running to keep up again. I believe, that sometimes it is necessary to just put on the breaks. To say stop. No we won't be running there today, today we are taking the day off. We are going to sit at the same table for dinner. We are going to have a conversation, all in the same room, without the use of technology. No facebook, no texting, no email, no twittering, and no phone. Today, we look each other in the eyes and talk. Today we discuss what makes you happy, and what makes you sad. We talk about our faith, and discuss the wonders God has done in our lives this week. We pray for people who are hurting, sick, and in need. Time to slow down, tap on the breaks, take a breather. What is the rush anyway? What is so important? Nothing is more important than cherishing the relationships we are so lucky to have. That is all I have to say about that.

Networking can be expensive!

I went to a cool women's networking meeting the other night. It was with an organization called Heartlink . It was at some one's house. An awesome dinner was served. Tables set, lovely hospitality, and about 20 very interesting women were there. We each got 3 minutes to introduce ourselves and tell a bit about our business's. Most of the women knew each other already. Many of the women present had business's that sell through direct marketing. Most of the big ones were represented, and a few new ones I had never heard of but found interesting. There were also women with other business's like insurance, legal services, printing, etc... It is great to meet like minded people, and I can definitely see the benefits of attending regularly. The bad part however, is it leaves you wanting to go shopping! All of a sudden, I MUST have the new mango cutter from Pampered Chef, and I am yearning to freshen up my candles, and I NEED a hole new wardrobe from CABi . ...

The Sky is Blue

I want to thank all of you who lift my family up in prayer.  I thank all of you who give us encouragement.  I try really hard to see the cup 1/2 full, and most days I do.  I was feeling a little down last night, but today is a new day.  Blue skies remind me of how much I am loved.  Have an awesome day friends.

MCI, Hunt Valley Reunion- Wish I could join you!

The company where I had my very first "real" job, MCI Telecommunications in Hunt Valley, MD, is having a reunion soon. It is so awesome that these folks who worked together so long ago still get together. These were first careers for many of us, straight out of college. I made so many good friends there. I lost one of my closest friends a few years back to cancer (The gorgeous, smiling, and good hearted Colleen Farley), and I credit that crazy job at MCI with bringing her into my life. I met my husband because a fellow MCI'er (My dear old friend Terri Weis), thought we would make a good match and introduced us. One of my oldest friends and mentors, who I had the pleasure of working with many years after MCI as well, (Terri Nimmons) just this week, wrote me reference that almost made me cry. There are people that I am not in touch with still, that had such impact on me in those early years of my professional life. I think of them fondly. I met these folks between 1990-1995...
