Moving On--Just One Step or a Giant Leap

Wow! I can't believe it has been almost two months since my last posting. Well when I stop and think I have had a lot going on and my time flies at the blink of an eye. Actually rapid blinks as we age I think.

Actually the last six months have been unbelievable. It's so true what they say when you sit back and try and put perspective on what you have and haven't done separating those into two lists becomes difficult sometimes. At the beginning of the year I felt like most of what I wanted to accomplish was wasted on those who had desired to continue on the same path. Women are very funny creatures (myself included) there actions are usually opposite of what they do. When you find that you are not benefiting and those around you do not care to either you just stop and move on. And that is exactly what I have been doing the last several months. Moving on....

We added another granddaughter last month to our family Greenlee Fayeann is a tiny thing at the moment, but I know with her genes she will be a wonderful addition to the female world. I hope some day I will be able to show her a world where women are equal in everything they want to be and do in this world. I would like to tell her I helped in that endeavor along with countless other women from long ago. There should be no status quo in our world or to just "let other's do" what all women should find important. All of us need to make a stand, stick with it until it's done, hear both sides and in like Larry The Cable Guy "get er done". Along with our other granddaughter Hadleigh I know they will be fighters for the cause. Just the fact that both of them have names that are not the "norm" speaks volumes for their Mom's. I just hope that by the time they are old enough to form an opinion there will be less to get done.

I have been working more with David both away from home and also in regards to public relations. Getting the word out is always important no matter what your business is. I have found that out in volumes with both our main equipment relocation business and also my double duty in the home-based businesses. This past August I took on another title, Indepedent Chocolatier with Dove Chocolate Discoveries. They are a newer company and are growing every day and who doesn't like chocolate! I enjoy baking so what better than to have chocolate involved. I love new things so why not jump into it feet first. I still continue to do Beauticontrol a little but makeup and spa items seems to be a non-economy friendly luxury.

Turning 50 had a little bit of a reason for all this moving. After realizing that I have probably lived more than half my life already (sad but true) I am not one to let the grass grow under my feet or to just sit back and let other's do the work for me. I hope that never changes. I spoke with someone recently who has never flown on an airplane before and she is around my age. I just about fell out of my chair. "Are you kidding I said!" I have done many things in my life I never thought I would. I still enjoy throwing caution to the wind and have a few more things I would like to do before I can't. Life is too short. When I see other's who are stuck in a proverbial rut or are just satisfied with the same old thing I sometimes feel sorry for that person that if they would just take one step off that stopped world they are on they would be so surprised at what's actually out in the world.

So with only twenty-nine days left of this year. Go on take a step off and try something new. If not before the end of 2011, make sure 2012 is a year of wonderous possibilities--you will be so glad you do.
