One of my Daddy’s favorite lines was “actions speak louder than words,” and this is so true not only in Business world but also among spouses, children, parents, brothers and sisters.

Well off to other ventures so remember “it is what it is,” take from one of my daily Joyce Devo’s which I will briefly share:        “You are never going to have anyone else’s life  so stop wasting time and energy by being upset about things you cannot do anything about.  Nobody’s life is perfect and it is entirely possible that if you want that other person’s life he/she probably wants someone else’s life also.  Contentment with life is not a feeling it is a decision, contentment doesn’t mean we never want to see changes it simply means we will do the best we can with what we have and will maintain an attitude that allows us to enjoy the gift of life as we have it.

I want to thank each and every one of you who support me unconditionally you make these ventures hard to enjoy but I also know you say you live vicariously through me so watch for photos under “PHOTOS” tab at the top of the Home Page!

IT IS WHAT IT IS … Until then keep it Real … REAL FUN that is!  🙂 Brenda
