Monday's Motivation: What are you doing to succeed??

 Monday's Motivation: What are you doing to succeed??

"If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success".By : John D. Rockefeller

 

 

This quote reminds me of why I am an artist and how I appreciate thinking outside of the box. What is socially accepted isn't always the key to our individual successes.




  What are you doing to gain sucess in your life? Any advice you like to share? How do you measure success and what are some ways to gain success? We love to hear your comments....

 We like to start off this year's Monday's Motivation with this inspiring quote!!

"Everything I did in my life that was worthwhile I caught hell for".

Not everything in life is easy , especially that that is most important. The road of life will have its bumps and hurdles , but in the end it is all worthwhile, isn't it?


What are some hurdles you had to jump , in life to get where you are today? What advice, if any would you like  to share about being successful? We are listening..Feel free to comment.

The gift of a Smile..the greatest gift of all!!

On Saturday Morning December 15th,
 We had our 4th "Craft for the Children's Day" distribution for the children of Cooper Hospital.

We gathered toys,coloring books,crayons, and fun packs, and distributed them to the children in the hospital ranging from toddler to teens. We had a warm welcome from staff and visitors as we walked the halls with our festive holiday antlers.

All the goody bags with google eyes

And in the end we were able to  give the most greatest gift of all to the children, a smile...Each child was surprised to see us, and very thankful for thier lovely goodie craft bag, which by the way transformed into a reindeer, and we were able to give them the greatest gift of all a smile. This was indeed a rewarding and enriching experience.

Thanks to everyone for all their support
We look forward to returning next year, want to get involved in our next "Craft for the Children's Day, more details to come early spring 2013!!

Monday's Motivation :"Money Can't Buy Happiness....."

What an interesting way to start off the week:
I think it's important while you are earning a living that you always remember the words below




"Money can't buy happiness, but it can make you awfully comfortable while you're being miserable".
By :Clare Boothe Luce



Let's admit we all have to earn a living in these days, but that doesn't mean that we have to sacrifice our true happiness. Remember its not about the materials in life that brings us happiness, just comfortability.

Take a second and reflect on ,what brings you happiness in your life?

A natural energy boost , may be in your Salad

Ok so we all have those days , when we just need a little extra boost.
Tired of drinking coffee and want something more natural without added sugars.


Try a Cucumber
Yes, a cucumber, that green thing that finds its way in your garden salads. Well , believe it or not , cucumbers have a lot of great vitamins and minerals that make them great for many uses, one being energy.

Did you know Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins you need everyday like vitamin b1, b2,b3 b5,b6 ,Folic Acid,Vitamin C,Calcium,Iron ,Magnesium,PHosphorous,Potassium and Zinc. Because cucumbers  contain so many B vitamins and natural Carbohydrates ,  they can really lift your midday energy levels, while providing you with nessecary nutrients your body needs.


So, feeling tired in the afternoon, grab a few slices of cucumbers and put down the caffeine.


Do you know any other uses for Cucumbers you like to share??..How about some other natural foods that increase our energy levels...We love to hear from you, We are listening..

Tips for Holiday Party Planning!!

The Holidays are just around the corner, and your long-to-do list keeps growing..

 

Here are some tips to help not go CRAZY during party planning..

Step 1:
Plan Ahead...( This couldn't be emphasized enough)(know who you want to invite, what you want to eat, how long it will be, and the theme if any.

Step 2.
Invitations.. There is something extra special about hand writting to your invites, have fun with it, use creative papers, stickers,and great bold colors.

Step 3.
Hors D oeuvres..(appetizers). Choose easy , finger foods that are full of flavor that compliment each other, and avoid , drippy sauces near expensive light colored rugs. Be sure to have appropriate silverware, plates at napkins at your Hors D oeuvers station, (in case occassional messes occur.

Step 4.
Liquor.. (be sure to have ice on hand for mixed drinks, you can never have enough ice.) And seasonal fruits for garnish. Also it's great to have an alcholic punch and a non alcholic punch for those guests who don't drink.

Step5.
Atmosphere.. Be sure to have music,decorations and great smelling scents for a delightful aroma. If possible avoid the TV, try to have board games, and ice breaker games to keep guests involved socially with one another.

Most importantly Have FUN!!! No one wants to go to a party , where the host/hostess is no where to be found , because they are stuck in the kitchen . Try planning ahead, cooking and preparing food ahead so you can spend more time having fun with your guests.
