C is for….

Cookie!!!! I couldn’t resist!  And now I can hear cookie monster in my head!  Growing up in the 70’s and then three kids of my own sesame street is a part of my memories and some of those songs are ingrained in my mind forever!  So even if cookie is not my “C” word you got a tiny bit more of my story.

But really now, the word I chose for c is CREATIVITY.

Defined as: (chose the 2nd meaning)

the ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules, patterns, relationships, or the like, and to create meaningful new ideas, forms, methods, interpretations, etc.; originality, progressiveness, or imagination

As I typed this, I am kind of having one of those ah-ha moments.  The reality is this word and definition probably defines my aspirations as a person or human being to the core.  WOW a little dramatic but…. I truly strive daily to create better stuff, thoughts, words, ideas and maybe better isn’t exactly the right word but new or different.  Believe me I am not eccentric by any means, but I do ponder the what if’s a lot.

Can’t wait to see what you all come with this time!!!!

B is for ……

Well I for one have been having a blast following everyone, and stumbling on new peeps who have decided to join in this challenge!

I am going to try to recap from memory all the “A’s” floating around out there. And remind me if I miss a couple, please!!
Attitude
Aspire
Attention
Advocate
Action
Ambition
Appreciation
Adventure
Accomplish
Adapt

And somewhere along the way I saw #amazeballs!!! Thank you to each of you who joined in and made this kick off so much fun! I am beyond excited to get going with “B”.

Ok my plan for “B” is to let you all in on a little more of my story.  My pick for “B” is Books.  And when I says Books define my story, I mean all that books stand for in my little world.  Books in my life stand for learning, connecting, challenging, and some times decorating. 🙂  Over the next two weeks, I will do my best to share how books play such a big part of my story!

A is for…..

ATTITUDE – noun

1:  the way you think and feel about someone or something

2:  a feeling or way of thinking that affects a person’s behavior

And Winston Church (that super smart guy that left us with a ton of quotes) says “Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.”

And I say:  “Love that all we have to do as humans is adjust our attitudes and the world in front of us shifts ever so slightly!  Positive, good, happy motivated, energized, determined; any one of those is a great place to start the new year, a new project, or a new business approach!!”

Ok, over the next couple of weeks I will continue to share my Attitude!!! 🙂

See, how easy was that!!!  One letter down 25 to go!!!

#TellYourStory2014

Get ready guys, this is the theme of the year!!! #tellyourstory2014 Who is in?

The Dancing Beauty Expert

Each year one of my dearest friends, Kristin Kane of Water Closet Soap and I pick a theme of intention, to guide us through the New Year.

When we reconnected after 20 years, the following New Year, in 2012 we chose “Gratitude”.  We hand wrote letters of thanks throughout the entire year and reminded everyone we could about the importance of being Grateful.

In 2013 we chose “Inspire”.  All year we followed our hearts, shared our passions, shouted encouraging words and helped made giant leaps for our local national charities of choice (Decoding Dyslexia & Boys and Girls Club of America)
as well as spread advocacy & awareness.

For 2014 we have chosen, “Tell Your Story”.  Branding isn’t just about selling, its about sharing.

Every other week we will be posting the #abcsof2014. With 26 letters of the alphabet, we hope to inspire and share what…
