Integrity

OK...first of all, sorry I missed a few days of writing. It has been a crazy week.

Today's topic is INTEGRITY...

My question is "How do some people not get this quality?"

In everything I have done in my business and hopefully my life, I have done with integrity in place. My business could end up in the gutter but I would NEVER sell out my integrity to keep it.

I come across so many amazing people who possess integrity in spades and I try hard to be in their presence and then to find others like them to surround myself with.

Every once in a while a "bad apple" sneaks in....and I HATE that. I always want to give people the benefit of the doubt, that they are who they say they are. I have no reason to think otherwise at that moment. Even though I shouldn't, I go back and kick myself for being so trusting when they now prove themselves to be anything but who they presented themselves to be.

Sigh...I need to not take that stuff so personally and that is hard for me. How they conduct business has no bearing or reflection on me. That is on them. I am going to continue being a trailblazer and a visionary. People are going to want to cut me down at the ankles. I know that but I have to figure out a way to get some thicker skin or a way to hide my ankles and in the summer that is proving to be hard :-)

So, until tomorrow dearest blog....(thanks for being such a good listener...I feel a bit better already)

One of those days...

Today was one of THOSE days....

I don't even know how to explain it. Nothing terrible happened...but still it seemed like a completely underwhelming day.

I think that so often I just run around like a chicken with my head cut off that coming back to reality for a moment kinda sucks.

I am a wife and mother...I am an entrepreneur and a business owner...I am a daughter and a sister...I am a friend and a confidant...

Sometimes I forget to be just me and I think that often takes the joy out of some of the other things I get to do on a daily basis.

What person wouldn't love the chance to own their own business and spend the day at the pool with their kids....4 or 5 days a week?? Instead of enjoying it and being in the moment with the kids I am worrying about the next thing...the bills to be paid, the groceries to get, the next business meeting, the high maintenance client....the list seems endless....

Tomorrow I am going to enjoy my life for what it is...I will spend more time being in this moment and less time worrying about the ones that are still to come...

Regardless of whether or not I worry...they are still going to come...

Here is to less worrying and more enjoying being me....

So, until tomorrow dearest blog....

You're Out!!

See that man in the blue and gray uniform??? This blog post is totally dedicated to him...

We took the kids to the Salem Red Sox game tonight and at one point the boys yelled loudly "Hey Vampire...you're OUT!!"

There that is my post for today :-) My children do not know that there is a difference between an UMpire and a VAMpire...and with the way that the calls were going this evening...I am not sure that I do either :-)

So, until tomorrow dearest blog...
