I remember well those words spoken in a Pantene shampoo commercial back in the 1980’s. The attractive woman with the fabulous hair looked right into the camera and made the plea “Don’t hate me because I am beautiful.” That phrase became front and center once again earlier this year when UK columnist Samantha Brick wrote […]
2013 marks the beginning of Magic Goal Poster number three in my life. And given how amazing the goals I am including on Goal Poster number three are, 2013 is guaranteed to be an EPIC year! I realize that many of you reading this are thinking, “What the heck is a magic Goal Poster? And, […]
This week my husband came down with a horrible sinus cold, which he then managed to pass on to me and my daughter. Fabulous! So this week all three of us are suffering from sinus colds, however, it is absolutely incredible to see the difference in how each of us manages to cope with it. Ashley […]
For Christmas today my daughter Ashley made a home video to send to her brother Dalton who is serving a mission for the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Mississippi and therefore he couldn’t be home with us this year. She started making this video prior to her ACL surgery and she […]
This will be my last blog I write before Christmas as I will be taking Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off next week, and so I want to take this opportunity to wish all of you a Very Merry Christmas! I truly hope all of you have the most amazing Christmas ever, full of love, […]
Tis The Month Before Christmas Tis the month before Christmas, we’re all going nuts; With so much to do, there’s no ifs, ands or buts. Buy presents, hang tree lights, pop cards in the mail, Send gift packs, thread popcorn, find turkeys on sale. Decorations need stringing up all through the house. And you haven’t […]
As all of you who follow my blog know, today my daughter had surgery to repair her ACL. We had to wake up at 4:30am to be to surgery by 6am. And unfortunately we were up until 1:30am the night before hanging out with my husband’s parents who had been staying with us. Side note, […]
Just about every parent has had to deal with that moment when their child steals their first candy bar or pack of gum from the supermarket check-out line. First they experience the initial shock and horror that comes from the realization that their child is not perfect, then comes the embarrassment and shame. Typically this […]
January 4th will be the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting for the new REES (Recognizing and Empowering Entrepreneurial Success) Capital offices! We are very appreciative that the Governor of Utah himself will be coming to do the official ribbon cutting with us, along with many other dignitaries. We are honored that they will join us […]
Judging other people – Everyone is guilty of it as some point or another. Many times it happens in small subconscious ways where we find ourselves judging someone without even realizing it. Many times judgments are made based on a person’s appearance, an outfit, a car they drive, the job they do, or the house […]
It is that time of year again. That miserable experience of trying to pull together your financial information so you can figure out how much you are going to owe in taxes for this year and hustling to determine what items you need to pay prior to the end of 2012 in order to take […]
For years as a CEO, I absolutely hated the interviewing process for hiring. I felt that the entire hiring technique was inherently flawed. We would post a job description and candidates would respond with a resume that was tailored to fit the position we had described. When the candidate came in for their interview we […]
Snow mixed with wet wind = I’m FREEZING! I have to say that I am not much of a snow girl only because I just can’t stand to be cold. My husband and I have a constant battle over the temperature in our house – I want the temperature turned WAY up and my husband wants it turned way down…brrrrr… Heat […]
My thoughts today are about petty people, mean people, and those who facilitate their bad behavior. All of us have dealt with them before, those people who are petty, mean, and selfish. They are those people who are focused only on themselves, their wants, their hurts, and their problems. The petty ones can be found […]
How true is that quote?!? Now I can’t speak for every single woman out there, but I will go out on a limb and say that it is definitely true that a good majority of we women want our significant others to be able to read our minds. We want them to pick up on […]
It is imperative that we decide in advance to do the right thing. When circumstances present themselves in the heat of the moment, we must already know what our response is going to be. As I turned on NBC’s TODAY show to watch the morning news, I was horrified to hear about the man who was […]
It’s interesting how quickly life can be put into proper perspective. As you know from yesterday’s blog we have been dealing with our daughter Ashley’s injury this week. As a quick update, today we went to the physical therapist and they said they think she will be ready to have surgery on her knee before Christmas, […]
Tonight was an incredibly rough night at our house. My daughter Ashley, who plays on her high school varsity basketball team, found out that she has a torn ACL and she is going to have to now undergo surgery to repair it, followed by six to nine months of rehabilitation to bring her knee back […]
Only 21 days until Christmas! It is hard to believe. This time of year is my very favorite, yet it seems to fly by so quickly each year that I barely am able to appreciate and take in the Christmas spirit. I am beginning to realize that the only way to take control of ENJOYING […]
