So You Can Lead a Horse to Water

Isn't it funny how you know what works, you can do what works, and you can share with everyone else what works. I think this blog is more about learning to let go. You put the information out there and see if it catches an updraft and takes flight or not.
I have always been one of those people, that when I find something that works, I really dive in 100%. It may take me a very long time to do it, but when I do, I get it done. Now, I am at a point where I want to share what I have learned about procrastinating, about becoming not emotional about something that should be business, and about how to work smarter not harder. But I have to remember that it took me a long time to get to this point, and I still have a long way to go.  So I can't expect anyone else that I share my so-called wisdom with to jump right on the bandwagon. I just need to remember, all I can do is supply the information and it is up to the recipient to do with it what they will. I can't be like the little kid who gets a new puppy and holds on to it too tight and hugs it so much that I smother it and it turns around and bites me.
II have to learn to let go. I can lead the horse to water, but the horse has to be thirsty before it will drink.

Youtube Video, Worse Than Putting Eyedrops in a Bearded Dragon

So I am sitting here in my PJ's on the sofa with my dog Elvis snoozing by my side. I am contemplating my first youtube video. I have webcam fright!!! How is this possible??? I video chat with the kids when I am on vacation. I video chat with my husband when he is working. Why am I afraid of the webcam now. I have watched hundreds of other people do it. It looks so easy!!!

I think I have to just psych myself out, I can do this, I used to get up in front of hundreds of people and speak, I have even been on TV before, so no more fooling around, I will do this. I am strong, I am invincible, I AM WOMAN! Yes, Hellen Reddy is playing in the back of my mind...

Besides, it can't be any worse than trying to put eyedrops in a bearded dragon's eyes, and yes, I have had to do that too!

Stay tuned, Youtube star coming soon!!!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. To raise awareness I am selling Hope - Candles for the Cure...  My goal is to sell 100 candles, this will raise $1000 for the the Susan G. Komen Foundation. The "Hope" Candle for a Cure is a 16oz double wick jar candle. The cost is $22.95 + $3.00 tax & shipping.
If you didn't know, here are just a few facts about breast cancer;
  • Every 13 minutes a woman dies of breast cancer. 
  • One in eight women or 12.6% of all women will get breast cancer in her lifetime.
  • Breast cancer risk increases with age and every woman is at risk. 
  • Seventy-seven percent of women with breast cancer are over 50.
  • More than 1.7 million women ho have had breast cancer are still alive in the United States.
  • You are never too young to develop breast cancer! Breast Self-Exam should begin by the age of twenty.
  • The American Cancer Society estimates that about 2,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer are diagnosed in men each year and approximately 450 men die from breast cancer annually
If we all pull together we will make a difference.
