The Customer Service Experience…

By

Everybody Makes A Difference EverydayHave you ever experienced great customer service?
I think we’ve all had the opportunity to discover some good – even great – service at some point in time though out our journey in life.

But have you ever enjoyed a customer service experience that made you smile and talk about that service for days – weeks – even years on end? Now that would be some amazing service – wouldn’t you agree?

Far too often people take for granted the person on the service side of things (whether it be intentional or not). [Read more…]

The Stay-cation Experience…

By

Have you had the opportunity to experience a Stay-cation or two?

I can hear it now… Umm – What’s a stay-cation?
I’m so glad you asked – it’s one of my most favourite ways to travel & get away from it all.

Seriously… if you love to travel you really should consider stay-cations instead of just vacations… unless you’re the type of person (or family) that wants everything done for you – then I suggest continuing with your vacationing practices.

As with anything – there are several opinions on stay-cations – and truth be told – what I’m about to share just happens to be mine (so take it for what it’s worth).

If you’re still here and you’re interested in learning a little more as to why stay-cations are so awesome – then read on…  [Read more…]

Lessons Learned with “Seuss-isms”

By

I love “Seuss-isms”… How about you?

As a kid I was always in awe with Dr. Seuss books. The images and the colours flew off the pages and came to life. The rhyming and peculiar choices of words, not only told a vivid story, but they seemed to have a lesson to be learned too.

 

Dr. Seuss books seemed wacky and weird, eccentric and entertaining, fascinating and fun, and oddly enough tThink and wonder. Wonder and think. Dr.Seusshose “Seuss-isms” were educational too.

Did you know that Dr. Seuss’ real name was Theodor Seuss Geisel, and that he published 46 children’s books?

Here’s just a few of my favourite quotes that inadvertently taught a lesson or two…
Truth be told – there’s so many great ones to choose from. (I’ll have to share more some other time).

“The habit of giving only enhances the desire to give”
~ Walt Whitman 

 

We’re only 4 days into December and already my husband and I have attended 2 events, back to back I might add (and in the middle of the week too – lol – that’s a rarity for us).

Tis the season right?

I took my own advice – from my last post on “Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff This December… and had it all logged in our Calendars so we were both prepared. [Read more…]

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…

Wait… Stop & just breathe for a minute or two – December really doesn’t have to be so exasperating – does it? [Read more…]
