We Have A Logo!

This is one of two versions. The other version has the company name and slogan outside of the oval.

We are really excited about the birth of our glove company and hope to have actual working samples before the end of January.

Our web site is being created and the business itself is under construction! Wish us fun! I'd say luck, but who needs luck when you have hard work? I say we need fun!

Happy New Year!

Farewell 2008!

I'm usually a little sad to see another year pass, but not this time. 2008 has been such a hard year for so many. I will say though, like with all things, we must experience the bad to be able to recognize the good. I've accomplished a great many things this year in spite of a work injury and the accident that left my back aching and my finger broken needing multiple surgeries. I've been reminded that it's the tough times that weed out the weak and help our true characters, for better and worse, to appear and show us how strong we are and what work we still need to do. How has this year shown you who you really are?

One Week Left

You have just one week left to accomplish anything left undone on your list for 2008! Can you do it? Maybe, maybe not. What's really important is that you keep working toward all the things you want to see happen in your life. January first isn't really any different than February, June, or November first. Certainly there's a special feeling that comes with all the social celebration of the ringing in of a new year, but you can start or keep to a list any time. My lists remain consistent from year to year, my goal is much more to stay on track and keep doing the daily work that makes my dreams come true!

My Annual Christmas Wish

This Christmas mend a quarrel. Seek out a forgotten friend. Write a love letter. Share some treasure. Give a soft answer. Encourage youth. Keep a promise. Find the time. Forgive an enemy. Listen. Apologize if you were wrong. Think first of someone else. Be kind and gentle. Laugh a little. Laugh a little more. Express your gratitude. Gladden the heart of a child. Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth. Speak your love. Speak it again. Speak it still once again.

Christmas Intentions

What are your intentions for this Christmas? Mine are that we will have a stress free, let it be what it is holiday and just enjoy our family. Even more so, I'd like for all of us to be able to let each other be and just get along easily. I'll let you next week know how successful I am!

My mom arrived last night (very late last night!), and Dave's mom will be here tomorrow. Mason will have Christmas with both his grandmothers and even more special is both grandmothers will have Christmas with Mason!

Happy Birthday!

Today is my birthday and first thing this morning, after my sweetie made me coffee, this question was posed, "What if the rest of your life was the best of your life?" This got me thinking, yeah, what if?

What if I let go of this idea that I could have my twenty-something body back? Would I worry less about the Christmas cookie I ate and enjoy my walks more?

What if I looked at all the small changes I've made over the last three years and see the cumulative effects on my overall health? I've stopped drinking soda, nearly eliminated mayonnaise from my diet, generally speaking, eat my meals from a salad plate to help control my portions.

What if I focused on my physical strengths even if some days that focus will be on the fact that I have all my limbs and even though the might hurt, they still work? Better yet, I could be more proactive in lovingly strengthening them without falling back into the pressure cooker I create to be a twenty-something again.

For some reason milestones work for me to take action that sticks. Today is my birthday and I will start my day off by making a list of the stuff I need to finish for Christmas, and the stuff I want to do for me, for the long term, to make the rest of my life be the best of my life!
