There, I said it! Every year, tons of people make New Year’s Resolutions and a few weeks later… serious guilt sets in because those great intentions have turned to dust. So, not only do those great plans fall by the wayside… but there’s a whole new set of “bad feelings” around what you wanted to accomplish. How is that helpful to get you where you want to go…? Sometimes, you don’t have enough “motivation” in the beginning to make those dreams and plans stick so you have to … [Read more...]
Lately, I’ve noticed a lot of hating. It seems like a lots of people really enjoy hating, being angry, complaining, disdaining, throwing rocks all over the web. And while I agree there are things that need changing in our society, some kind of action like volunteering is preferable to simply hating and spreading negative sentiment. And there's a lot of random hating going on for things that aren't worth it. Worse, there’s rabid hating for and about people who are successful. This kind of … [Read more...]
I spent the holidays in South America and Antarctica several years ago and it was one of the best "adventure vacations" I've ever taken... And it was one of the best experiences I've had as an entrepreneur, too. I had just learned to take control of my website and I created this very Wordpress blog... myself! Now I have a team who takes care of most of it, but I can still come in and make changes, add things, etc whenever I want to. Jeff and I will be interviewing Christina Hills on Thursday, … [Read more...]
On January 1, 2011 Jeff & I officially took the plunge and got married in a very small, immediate family only wedding... We all agreed it was the one of the most heartfelt weddings we've ever been a part of... And the easiest! My Mom, Victoria (my adorable niece) and I whipped everything together in about a week. We got the pastor we wanted, the dress took about an hour and a half, the cake was rush ordered in 30 minutes, the flowers even less because I know the shop owner … [Read more...]
A few days ago, my favorite horse Espartaco passed away. He was bitten by a snake or a brown recluse spider. His leg swelled up and my vet, Dr Blevins, said he fought but wasn't strong enough to make it. This amazing horse taught me more than any other horse or human ever has about believing in yourself and making the "seemingly impossible" happen. We had a serious love/hate relationship. Years ago, I was involved in a riding accident while I was "mock bullfighting" in Spain. Yes, … [Read more...]

It's Independence Day in the US... An important day to thank and appreciate all military personnel and people who help us stay free and safe. As a 1st generation American from parents who came from a country where things are not as easy... I know we are SO blessed to live in this amazing country where we can pretty much do whatever we want AND decide to reinvent ourselves whenever we choose. Is there something you can choose to free yourself from today? Maybe a past experience or … [Read more...]
This is a great movie showing that the tiny differences... the small degrees of perseverence, pushing, enthusiasm, planning and action make ALL the difference. Keeping faith when it might not seem so easy... Giving that "little extra" when you're tired... Believing in Yourself just a little bit more... Looking for an edge when you've already done a lot... Having more and Being more requires Doing more... So what will you do about it today? … [Read more...]

Thank you Maritza for your "Easy Video Sales Formula" It answered three prayers for me. My favorite part was watching you navigate around inside each screen capture software so that I can see how intuitive each one is. I am so happy to learn about the s3 interface. I have not been able to use my s3 account for eight months since I didn't know how to get my media from s3 to my website. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
