It's been WAY too long

doing nothing but tan, eat and relax (while the boys fished). this weekend was great! thank you to tyler and kristen for making bucky's surprise so perfect!! it was an awesome weekend - and long overdue. the fish was great - fried and baked. yah... i said it THE FISH WAS GOOD! i've decided i like cabin fish - but that's the only kind... i think! it's good to get back into reality. but everyone needs a cabin to go to!

Moral Dilema

So say an ambulance was driving next to you on the highway...

They pull up to your car and ask for your number - you speed up and laugh. They catch up to you and say, "Call Me 911"

What does a girl do?

(REALLY happened to a friend of mine) made me laugh a bit and made her day! ;O)

Being a lia sophia Advisor

"Is like Christmas... Only about 1,000 times better. You don't have to say 'THANK YOU' and you ALWAYS get what you want"

Liz LaLonde - newest lia sophia Advisor - on the Wigstadt Team

I LOVE IT!! That is going to be my new tag line! It makes me crack up every time I think about it. It's perfect! She's perfectly right - why haven't I thought of that? She hasn't had her first show yet... and I've been selling for a year and a half. I love it! She's going to do awesome!

We'll build a team in GA!

Liz - I'm so excited for you! It's a New Beginning! I think it will help to look back and see that there are many positive changes coming! I love you!

Law of Attraction

I've been thinking a lot about this lately. You become what you think about. The power of thought is so much greater than I've ever given it credit!

I've experienced this a bit in my careers... all of them. Wherever my mind is... my life follows.

When I think I CAN'T do something... I can't. When I think I can - it usually happens. It's a little crazy the "pep talks" that I have to give myself in the morning - but they work. If I have a big meeting or sales call or party - I've gotta pump myself up for it. There's an anxiety that comes - but once I get my mind in the right place... it's a motivator instead of a deterant.

There is SO MUCH to taking CONTROL of your thoughts. Your life will go where your thoughts lead you.

I heard Chuck Swindall the other day on the radio talking about how "we all have what we need inside of us... When we have a relationship with God we have access to everything HE does." That was freeing to hear... that I don't have to STRIVE to be something else - I just have to "put into gear" what is already in me.

I don't think we can always be in a good place in our thought life - but I see the difference when I'm there.

So what are you attracting?

Almost Christmas

Can't wait to get home to open my blue boxes.

I'm a dork! I know it - but I CAN'T WAIT to see all of my new jewelry!

Woo Hoo... I'm sure I'll blog more about it!

Purely Infatuation?

Substantially infatuated!

There is a difference. It is a nice place to be!

Trying...

To Turn Over A New Leaf

So organization has never been one of my strong points. (understatement right?)

Last Thursday I had a dear friend come over to help me go through some of my stuff, to help me "de-clutter" my life. We spent 4 hours on it and barely scraped the surface. We got rid of a few bags of garbage and she got 2 bags of clothes... so it worked for both of us.

My dad has always talked about "having systems" we tend to tease him about it, but I'm finding myself CRAVING systems in my house now.

I've gotten good advice that when I leave my car to take something in with me. And when I come home from a trip to unpack right away - no matter how tired I am. Having a day set each week for laundry - no matter how much or little I have. Things like that, that are common sense to some people - for some reason don't connect in my head. It's time to be a big girl now and take care of these things!

I am a clutter FREAK. I hate it. I hate when it's around. But not enough to do something about it. Those who know me can attest that my room has been clean about 5% of my life. I don't know if I should be admitting this to the public... BUT maybe it's part of the turning?

I don't want to be a clutter freak. I don't want to be a pack rat. Is there a support group for this? If there is I should sign up for it. That's what I need - something else that I'd be waisting time talking about my "problem" instead of just taking care of it! Hopefully the leaf will be flipped soon.

I always say "when ____________ happens I'll start being organized". Really? It's just time to start! I've lived in denial for so long...

Can't change where I've been. I can work on the things that are worth working on. This is worth working on! - I may always tend toward being messy... that's ok with me - it's who I've been and where I've been - BUT that doesn't give me an excuse to stay there.

If you've got any pointers... I'm all ears!
