Time Flies....

....When You Don't Pay Attention!

 It's hard to realize just how fast time goes when we are just focusing on getting things done and checking something off our to-do list.
This works great when it has been a long week at work and we just want to get out of there and enjoy some time for us and our family.  On the other hand we need to remember to focus on the here and now and remember to enjoy things, even if our to-do list doesn't get done.

 I visited with Sean's family last weekend for the annual family reunion.  Sean was out of town and didn't get to enjoy, but I made an effort to go visit without him, and I am so glad that I did.  

Once we all got to talking I realized that we haven't seen his cousin since they adopted their baby girl.... 3 YEARS AGO!
Another cousin has graduated high school and works for a top rated Michigan radio station.... I'm still picturing him as a little 8th grader!

 Weddings are being planned, families growing, and everyone living their lives and just trying to get by, but some how in the midst of all of that we forget to share, enjoy, laugh, and connect.

 Remember to take the time to re-connect with old friends, enjoy new friends, and laugh with the friends who have never left your side.

 We only get one life to live and I know that I don't want to be remember all the times I was alone or cooking or cleaning, but to remember all of the smiles, laughs, and hugs that came with the memories I plan to make in my life.

YouData.com

Looking for a quick, easy way to make some extra money?  Check out YouData. It is not a huge money maker, but the pennies add up with time, and it is always nice to see a few extra cents get added into the budget, for something that you normally do on a daily basis...look at ads and watch commercials! Here is a copy of my referral email if you would like to join under my account (which I would be grateful for), or you can always visit the site on your own to sign up! I found something that I think you will like. The company's name is YouData ( youdata.com ). They are trying to convince consumers like us that we should be the ones controlling our own data and selling our own attention, not third parties like broadcasters, newspapers, and spammers. By creating a MeFile at YouData.com, I now control what ads I see and when I see them. Best part - I am selling my attention directly to interested advertisers, for real money. That's right, I get paid fo...

A Week of Golf

In 2017 my team was tasked with exciting job of catering to the LPGA Marathon Classic for their week long golf tournament here in town.  We had less then 4 months to prepare, and we had never done anything on such a large scale before.  It was both exhilarating and terrifying, especially for an Enneagram 6 like me.  We are loyal and committed, but our biggest needs are security, and we fear not having the support and guidance needed.  What a way to walk into a task like this.   I was suddenly tasked with finding organizations to fill close to 200 shifts for concession stands, as well as around 75 employees to help me make this event a reality.  It took a lot of time, planning, questions, stress, and a roller coaster of emotions, but we did it!  It was amazing the feeling that you have after you accomplish something like that. Since then we have continued to receive this job each July, and each year has gotten a little easier.  We have ha...

Ready for Autumn?!

When school starts, that means it's time for the routines to set in, new schedules and activities to begin, and best of all....the weather to cool off and Fall Fun can Begin! I love jeans, sweatshirts, boots, bonfires, apple cider, pumpkin patches, even football.  Give me anything and everything fall!  However, this heat wave does not pair well with warm doughnuts and apple cider - it just makes for bees and overheating.  The pumpkin patches aren't as fun because you don't have on jeans and boots and crisp weather to make it more fun.  The barns stink from the heat when you are trying to feed the cows and enjoy the animals around the farm. This weekend we are going to make our Fall Bucket List and wish for a little chill in a the air so we can enjoy this beautiful season of life we are given.   We will continue to make new goals, improve on our good habits, and find new ways to love each other to the fullest.
