Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff This December…

By

December is here & with the Christmas holiday season fast approaching too… Woo Hoo!!!
Are you excited yet – or are you sensing your stress levels starting to rise – just thinking about the busyness of the month ahead?

PrintDon’t Sweat It… You’ll get thru –
you always do – right?

As the saying goes… “Don’t sweat the small stuff” – truth be told – it’s really all small stuff isn’t it?

I know – I know… it’s not all small stuff to you, especially during this time of year. Kind of crazy really how it gets to be super stressful with so much to do & plan, functions to attend, gifts to buy, meals to prepare (mind you there are always meals to prepare – just some bigger than others… just saying), and the list goes on and on…

Well that’s a pretty powerful quote – wouldn’t you agree?

Life in itself is our ultimate teacher.

Everyday we’re faced with fears and challenges that we must strive to overcome.
The focus however, should not be so much on those fears and difficulties that are staring back at us (although we do have to find our way through those too).
But rather, we should direct our attention towards what we learn from pushing ourselves past our challenges and fears – allowing us to continue to move forward in our lives and to grow stronger as a result.

Believe - Love - Hope - FailthLife is not always easy – nor should it be – but here’s a few valuable lessons to remember: [Read more…]

Working From Home Has It’s Advantages

By

Do you work from home – and if you do – do you enjoy it?

I’ve been working from home for a few years now, and my husband has been working from home even longer. It’s almost like we’ve come full circle, other than we don’t have any employees working out of our home (like we did in the beginning), and our working environments are definitely different. Once in a while it really hits people that they don't have to experience life in the way they have been told to. - AlanKnightly

Let me share a little of our history so you can understand my comment of coming full circle – hang in there – I’ll try to keep it short…
