Is It Time For Change?

Happy Monday! I dropped the ball BIG TIME! Haven’t blogged in three weeks—not because I haven’t wanted to, nor because I’ve been too busy. As best I can describe it, I’ve been very out of sync. I just couldn’t seem to get it together. And I’ve missed it (blogging that is). Monday Morning Margarita is … Continue reading

Don’t Forget To Recharge!

Happy Monday! The importance of good old-fashioned R&R cannot be understated… Every day, I’m reaching for a charger of some sort, to charge my MacBook, cell phone, iPad, iPod, cordless phones, electric toothbrush, etc. Gotta keep those batteries charged, else all these devices are of no use. This weekend, I was reminded that much like … Continue reading

Put Up Or Shut Up!

Ac-tion noun: the accomplishment of a thing usually over a period of time, in stages, or with the possibility of repetition. (Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary)   Happy Monday! Last Wednesday night, on the drive home from my last final exam, I exhaled–big time. “Whew… I made it! Done with boot camp and my second term of MBA courses.” … Continue reading

No Regrets

Happy Monday! What an amazing past few days! My classmates and I completed entrepreneur boot camp (I got to meet the Governor, who spoke at our graduation), one of my friends got a really big new job (congratulations again, Keir!), and—the crème de la crème—I traveled to Boston to attend my aunt’s 70th birthday party. … Continue reading

How Are You Using Your God-Given Talent?

“Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through a prophetic message when the body of elders laid their hands on you.” 1 Tim 4:14 NIV Happy Monday! Each of us has at least one unique talent, a “secret sauce,” something we’re not just good, but GREAT at. And when we use our God-given … Continue reading

It’s Okay To Be A Work In Progress

Happy Monday! Since I’m new to blogging, I asked a few trusted friends to share their thoughts about Monday Morning Margarita. From the start, it was very important to me to have worthwhile content. While I’ve received mostly positive feedback, one of my besties told me I was missing something–that Monday Morning Margarita wasn’t quite … Continue reading

Gratitude: What Are You Thankful For?

What an awesome week (and it’s not over yet)! I feel like I’ve grown by leaps and bounds… I am truly grateful for my experiences, and for connecting with those who lent ears and shoulders, those who uttered kind words and brutal (but necessary) truths, those who encouraged me to forge on, those who turned … Continue reading

If It’s Not Worth Effort, Why Bother?

Happy Monday! Last week was pretty rough! I completely bombed 2 mid-terms. Why? Lack of preparation. Now I’m struggling to play catch-up, in the hopes of getting Bs, for what should have been 2 relatively easy As–all because I didn’t spend sufficient time studying. I’m not hung up on getting As, nor was I upset … Continue reading

Beware of Negative Nellie!

Can you recall at least one time when you were feeling pretty good, and out of the blue, someone or something came along and zapped your mood? Instantly, your smiley face (or at least your content disposition) was gone, and you were no longer at peace. If it was really bad, you may have even … Continue reading

What Will You Do Today?

Happy Monday! This past week, I attended a friend’s grandfather’s funeral. He was a rather remarkable man, who had the good fortune of living a long and rich life, full of family, friends and lots of love. Though funerals are never pleasant, the service was heartwarming, because the family opted to celebrate his life, rather … Continue reading
