We made it. To New York.  Already love it.  Tessie is a fabulous host/tour guide.  She took us to Bread – a tiny hole in the wall restaurant with fabulous sandwiches.  Then we went to Rice to Riches.  Think flavored rice pudding with mix-ins. Rode the subway.  And a bus.  Not too scary. So far…

Bags are packed.  Supershuttle is ordered.  Cash is removed from the ATM.  Found a map of Manhattan and now feel quite oriented.  Which is guaranteed to fade, once the streets become more than little lines.  And once cars come zooming at me as I attempt to photograph the entire city.  Bought a little book to…

In less than 24 hours, I will be on a plane bound for New York City.  Fabulous.  Michelle and I are going on an adventure.  "Adventure" has becoming the catchphrase for this vacation.  How will we get from Newark to Tessie’s apartment?  Hmmm, we’ll figure it out…It will be an adventure.  Weather.com is predicting rain…

They have been correlating recently.  My Wants and Needs.  Such a good feeling. Daily effort to be healthy.  Which means I need to think about what I am eating.  I want to make smart decisions.  I want to enjoy good food that provides me with energy and satisfies. Just made the decision to intern in…

I was affected by two headlines today.  Oddly enough, both relate to sports.  First:  Kirby Puckett Dies Day after Suffering Stroke.  Kirby, to me, is baseball.  He represents Minnesota.  Going to baseball games.  Being a little kid.  I remember when Kirby won Game 6 for the Twins in the 1991 World Series.  I remember when…

The blog has had 3000 views.  Granted many of those are me – checking to be sure that it looks right on the page – but others are from people who read this.  Generally, I do not really think about the readers.  I try to not acknowledge it because it feels awkward: this gets a…

For the first time ever, I feel as though each of my classes are relevant.  I am doing interesting projects.  Like these: Personal Selling Interview a salesperson & write a paper about them and the industry.  Chose my favorite professional scrapbooker.  She just emailed me back.  She is more fabulous than I thought. Choose a…

Have been home from the Order of Omega Retreat for 5 hours.  Which is long enough to have allowed some of the positive ideas to sink in.  Wanted to get them down before they escape: The idea of giving "Feedforward" vs. Feedback.  Helping people to grow through positive encouragement about what they can do next…

Love my friends.  Thanks Mel, Sara and Megan.  It was for sure a "solid" weekend – in all forms of the word.  Rule #76.

This weekend was a lesson.  Need to clean.  Inside and out.  Need to re-evaluate.  Need to prioritize.  Have been in fast-forward since the birthday, and while it has been a fun two weeks, I think I took a beating.  And probably so did my liver. Going to spend some time thinking it over.  Mull it…
