A Little Marilyn........

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go. Thing's go wrong so that you can appreciate them when they're right. You believe lies so that you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together." ~ Marilyn Monroe

Happy Halloween 2010






Had to share these pictures of my adorable bumble bee, handsome Tom Brady and.....my... Darth Vader (any idea who it is).

1st & 8th Grade




I am very delinquent in posting these pictures but thought that late is better than never. I can't believe that Lindsay started 1st Grade in late August and Ryan started 8th grade. I have no idea where the time is going.....

History has shown, successful people, in all walks of life, share some common traits......

  2. DECIDE UPON YOUR TRUE DREAMS AND GOALS: Write down your specific goals and develop a plan to reach them!
  3. TAKE ACTION: Goals are nothing without action. Don't be afraid to get started. Just do it!
  4. NEVER STOP LEARNING: Go back to school or read books Get training and acquire skills!
  5. BE PERSISTENT AND WORK HARD: Success is a marathon, not a sprint. Never give up!
