Having a Successful Marriage

Having a Successful Marriage

I wrote this blog one year ago on my first blog ever; Blogger.  I wrote it as I was in the middle of wedding planning. Today, I reflect on this and still love it as much as I did the day I wrote it. I understand that life changes and people change, but I also believe in fighting for what's yours. I believe the older generation is full of wisdom, knowledge, and I love that they were raised in a time that if something was broken, you fix it....

Entering your ‘late’ twenties - Anxiety vs. Peace

Entering your ‘late’ twenties - Anxiety vs. Peace

Entering your late twenties... The other day I told someone I was turning 26 this year. This sounds all fine and dandy, except for the fact that I’m actually turning 27. WOW, why does 27 sound so much older than 26?!

“Travel does not exist without home… if we never return to the place we started; we would just be wandering, lost. Home is a reflecting surface, a place to measure our growth and enrich us after being infused with the outside world.” (Josh Gates)

2016- It’s about Goals not Resolutions

2016- It’s about Goals not Resolutions

It’s the start to a brand new year. We’re on day 4 of a 365 day journey that is 2016.

Well, actually, if we’re going to be technical, it’s a leap year. February 29 was added to our calendar, so this year we have 366 days.

Does anyone else wonder what the big hype is about making New Year’s Resolutions?

Does anyone else find them pointless and a waste of time?

When your Children Learn the Truth about Santa

When your Children Learn the Truth about Santa

I don’t have children, but I’ve always loved Christmas. I’ve always wondered how parents and kids handle the transition from believing Santa Claus is real to believing in the Joy and Spirit of Christmas when kids learn Santa (spoiler alert!) isn’t real.

The Ultimate Gift this Holiday Season

The Ultimate Gift this Holiday Season

Remember when you were younger, and Christmas was all about the presents. You couldn’t wait to write that letter to Santa so he would know just what to get you. You didn’t just want regular Barbie, you wanted Baby Spice Barbie, and if it wasn’t the right one, you would have been upset! Christmas literally meant waking up and opening presents. That’s what you looked forward to and that’s what you thought the season was all about.

However, I’ve enjoyed Christmas much more since my mentality changed.

Make Your Customers Fall in Love

Make Your Customers Fall in Love

Relationship building is crucial, no matter your business. Today, automation and innovation is what sets our generation and world apart, but it also can allow us to lose the real sense of customer service. The beauty of the internet is how we can speak and help our customers when our physical location isn’t open. Today, helping our customers from 9-5 isn’t enough.

It's a Crazy World we Live in

It's a Crazy World we Live in

We live in a wonderfully crazy world.

A world where choice is ours.

A world where literally everything and anything is at our finger tips.

A world where technological advances have far surpassed anything our grandparents could have ever imagined.

We also live in a world of lies; where getting ahead is more important than helping those far behind.

We live in a world where social media ‘likes’ define our popularity.
