Risks & Rewards

Hello world!!!
Just in time for the Sharholder's events this week. This year I'll be cheering for the member instead of the customer. (really both but you get the picture)

There has been so many amazing things going on that time has slipped right on by & I haven't shared my good news. 2 weeks ago I took a promotion with Sam's club.  A 2 month long stressfull process, it was good to feel wanted on a new & my old team, but very stressfull going back & forth....so glad it's over. I want to thank my family for always being there to listen. Dom, you always know what's best for us (me) & keep me sane. I can go on & on about how much I love & need your support. We really do make a great team.

I have already hit the ground running. This role is a new position so I basically get to create what it looks like & I'm so very excited to have the opportunity to do so. Who would have thought 2 years ago when I took a risk moving to supply chain that I'd be in a Sr. Manager role this quickly. Take risks. As my little sis says "Just live your life". You will never know what you will end up loving or being good at if you never try.

Hope you all have an amazing short work week!

Recently I stumbled upon an awesome recipe blog for the "Perfect Boiled Egg".

Weird that I'm writing about eggs, but I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Plus, Easter is around th corner! Your gonna want to ensure that every egg is cooked. Seriously TRY THIS.

While on the subject what can we do with those left over eggs?

Deviled Eggs (thinking about mygrandmother's)
Cobb Salad
Tuna salad
Stir Fry
Breakfast Burrito

Hope everyone enjoys Easter & this beautiful spring weather!

In It-lee

Today I'm thankful for the guardian angel I was physically given so long ago. Shaped my life here on earth & still doing so from up above. Death was never familar to me & I think I'm still learning 2 years later. It's not how much you miss someone that matters even though it really hurts. The truth shines through what you do in their memory to make them proud. I remember as a little girl saying all I wanted to do was buy my mom & grandma their own house & car. Yea, still working on that. But more importantly was what my earth angel would tell me back. She'd look at me & say "you can be whatever you want to be, but all I need is a trip to It-lee" (aka Italy)... and I would laugh uncontrollably.
This is funny 'cause anytime I or any of the kids were getting on her nerves she'd say she was gone to It-lee. Anytime she was going somewhere and I, being nosey would ask..she'd say to It-lee.

I'd give anything to take her on that trip now. Instead I'm taking her advise. I always wondered if she ever got to be what she wanted to be. When I think about that now theres still doubt, but those words she so bravely poured into me. I can be whatever I want to be. I'm thankful that she chose to tell me. With those words, her angelic presence, pressures of the world....she's working me.

Today, I'm just thankful for all she taught me & left behind. I'm on my way to It-lee where I can be what I want to be.

What is your It-lee?

Love you Grandma, I hope you're enjoying It-lee. 

New Years Resolutions. Fad. Foe. PLAN!

I know its been awhile & I don't necessarily believe in new years resolutions, but I want to pick back up on this blog. 2015 was a busy year! I've got so much ground to cover. Now, I will say that while I don't beleive in January 1st beggings I do believe in setting dates & goals. Weirdly enough I am one of those people who are like ok....on a Monday I'm gonna start. I've always been that way & I think its weird, but it's what I do. BUUUUTTTTT today I'm breaking that habit. ITS TUESDAY!! So for all of my people starting resolutions....it's not too late & if you've already given up, try again. Plan now, this week, over the weekend & start next Monday OR TUESDAY!!! Planning is the key no matter what it is you are trying to accomplish. I'd say that should be the first step. 2nd, set a realistic goal. Why would I suggest you plan before setting a goal. Well its easy from past failures. Think about it you have a goal then you try to plan for that goal or not & you fail. Maybe the problem wasn't you failed, but that you failed at planning for success. You try to fit your plans to your goal. So you write them out with the intent for success on a goal that may not be realistic for you. Instead, plan out what what works in your life, your schedule & YOUR realistic goal. Last thing is tell someone that goal.  I'm not a fan of having someone monitor my progress, but i believe a little responsibility is encouraging. Happy planning!

My goal is to do 2 blogs a month. Hold me to it!
