The First Week of April Just Flew By

  Maybe it’s just me, but March seemed to last forever. All during the month, I was continually thinking that the date was one week later than it actually was. It turned out to be a blessing though because we had a lot of projects to complete to be ready for spring planting. Last Sunday…

If There’s Not Enough Time to Take Care of Yourself, Then You’re Too Busy

How was your Easter weekend? Mine was really nice. As I told you last week, the plan for Saturday was to spend the day fishing for catfish to have for Easter dinner, on Sunday. We were up early Saturday morning (something I hate to do on the weekend). The alarm went off at 5:00am. After…

The Mind is A Tricky Place to Hang Out

There is so much potential housed within our brain. We possess the intellect to solve complicated problems. We can ponder our future, and imagine all sorts of scenarios.

The Break Came at Just the Right Time

2016 started out at a pretty fast pace. It seems that my schedule is always full, and I am constantly preparing for the next big event. Well, some of them aren’t really big, but that’s not to say that they aren’t important. I just returned from a 3 day trip to San Angelo. My company…

Putting into Practice the Tools of the Great Achievers

For me, this week has flown by. As I mentioned last week, I have a renewed energy around promoting my business. I have received some good coaching on how to be in public more. I am a fairly shy person, and talking to groups of people is uncomfortable to me. I am an outgoing and…
