PERFECT MOMENTS.

Monday, November 16th, 2009

Sitting on the beach with two of my sons and their girlfriends. Two out surfing, the sun on my shoulders. Life is good. Moments of true contentment. Thankfulness for this peaceful, perfect place in time. A Sunday before the work week begins and I’m back at a much more task-oriented day.

The laws of physics say that an object in motion stays in motion. It’s so easy to get caught up with staying in motion. How close I came to staying home this time. But, for this day, this beautiful Sunday, it is my time to recharge. A day to honor God, to honor myself and to honor others. Tomorrow I resume motion with the memory of this peaceful perfect moment with my family.

Wishing you a wonderful week!

What makes you smile?

Friday, October 30th, 2009

I recently attended the American Society of Plastic Surgery meeting in Seattle. We were exhibiting there and I took Libbi, our new client services manager, along to get the experience of exhibiting at a conference.

On my first trip around the floor saying “hi” to friends the opening day, my good friends at Locate-a-Doc were so excited to point out to me that an exhibitor just around the corner from them had a dance floor! WOW! A big smile came over my face, and I made straight away to chat with the gentleman ballroom dancer. Within minutes he picked out a waltz tune, and I was floating my way around the floor in the world of dance. What a delightful three-minute vacation in the middle of a busy, hustle-bustle day.

With so many things to be thankful for, today, right now I have a big smile on my face just thinking about that grand waltz dance!

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

A word of wisdom when you least expect it.

Monday, April 6th, 2009

One day, nearly 13 yeas ago, my then five year old gave me a gift I’ll never forget. After a particularly hard day working and balancing the demands of being a “hands-on mom of four boys” I was in my bedroom with the door shut feeling overwhelmed, when I heard a little knock. It was my third born Evan. He had a bright pink picnic tray filled with everything he could find from the kitchen that he thought would make me smile; a cup of yogurt with flowers from the yard stuck in it, some graham crackers and milk, a cup of orange juice, and a heavy dose of sprinkles covering the tray. He placed it on the floor in front of me and proudly stated “mom, you’ve got to have a little party everyday!”. And we sat on the floor that day and indeed did have a party.

Today, as a focused and busy professional, I have that bit of advice written on a yellow stick on my computer. It’s so cliché but so true. The years pass through the sands of time SO quickly. I want to celebrate life daily.

I am very fortunate to love the work I do on a daily basis. I love the beauty of this world and working with plastic surgeons. Share a little wisdom you’ve learned,  and post a comment back — I’d love to hear from you.
