  • Memphis Blogger Meet Up

    Hello Honeybees,

    Friday night I attended the first meet up of Memphis Blogger Mastermind Group (MBMG).  MBMG is a network of like-minded creatives who are passionate about sharing ideas with the world. Since I’ve been blogging I have always admired how bloggers in other cities were able to come together to share and network. Well we can now add Memphis to the list.

    Being able to hear from “The Real Life Willy Wonka”, Chef Phillip Ashley was a perfect addition to the meet up. The lessons, experience and advice were memorable. Sampling his chocolate creations was icing on the cake.

  • Happiness or Success

    Hello Honeybees,

    I have been debating this question: What do I want more out of life happiness or success?

    Is this an either or?

    Can I not have both?

    IF I HAD to choose between the two I would choose HAPPINESS.

    Success does not guarantee happiness!  You can be successful at a lot of things but they might not make you happy.  There are a lot of people that are extremely successful in their chosen career but are not happy at all. The money is good and the title is impressive but happy…NOPE.   You might be successful in college, making the grades, but you might not be happy. We all know someone who graduated from college but are not happy because they picked a safe major. You know the major that would ensure that they found a “good job” after graduation but it stifled their natural creativity.

    When I think of happiness I think of people, places and things that put a smile on my face People, places and things that make my heart all warm and fuzzy.

    For me happiness is seeing my children smile, or when they give me a hug & say I Love You.  Happiness is having a career that lets me make a difference in the community.  Happiness is knowing that I am blessed.  Happiness is having an amazing support system of family & friends.

    So YES I choose Happiness over Success and guess what…..

    That makes ME happy

    What makes you happy?

  • Stay on YOUR Game

    Hello Honeybees,

    I have really enjoyed watching the Rio Olympics.  So much drama, so much happiness, so much teamwork, so much patriotism and for the US Olympic team so much GOLD. 28 as I right this post.  One thing that I have learned from watching all of the athletes is how focused they are. These athletes didn’t just wake up last week or last month and decide that they were going to compete in the Olympics, they have put in years of hard work and dedication. 

    Here is the lesson that I am taking away from these games.

    Stay focused on YOUR game.

    If I want to accomplish my goals I have to stay focused on ME.  I can’t worry about what the other person is doing.  When I start worrying about them that’s when I start losing focus. I’m only slowing down my progress. That’s wasted energy.

    You have to plan your work and work your plan. 

    Sometimes we get so competitive that we spend all our time trying to figure out what the other person is doing so that we can get a leg up.  But what we are missing is that the other person is focused on their own goals and moving forward.  They aren’t wasting their time or talent on you and your actions.  So now who is moving forward and who is standing still?

    The only person i compare myself to is myself.

    Stop looking back!

    Look forward!

    Move forward!

    Go for YOUR gold!
