What’s The Hustle Really For?

People often reply when you ask them how they are doing,” I’m good but busy!” How many times do we hear and say that in a day? The last 6 years have been a whirlwind for me to try and find balance in my life. Looking back there were so many things that I “did” but they didn’t return any personal fulfillment. I like to help others, not miss out on events and enjoy being involved in my community. However, I was saying yes to too many things. I thought the more “doing” I did would equal happiness. I began to have an unfounded sense of obligation to do many things. Saying yes to the things that deep down I didn’t enjoy.

Watercolor Inn Is A Great Vacation Spot!

When I first started my blog someone said to me in the industry,”If you’re going to go to one conference I would not miss The Southern C!” I saw it was hosted at The Watercolor Inn at Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. I have heard a lot of good things about Watercolor and thought it was a perfect opportunity to go and explore.

My trip was just a few weeks ago and the weather was very nice and warm. We flew into Destin and it was a short drive from there. The Watercolor Inn is beautiful. Very casual and relaxed. They have their own private beach and the sand is a gorgeous powder white! The rooms are very spacious and great for larger families. Their customer service was warm and friendly. I felt like the area was very safe and apparently it is a great place for teens and families to go during the spring break season. I like the idea because it’s hard to find safe places and locations that have plenty of things to do for teens. You can ride your bike or walk easily from place to place.

A Statue For Fenton; “The Game”

The town I grew up in was in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Sault Ste Marie. It was a cute town that had some of the friendliest people. I left that town after high school and furthered my education at Central Michigan University 25 years ago, but who’s counting? After I met my husband we landed in his hometown called Fenton. The first time I drove through town I felt like I was back home. It was quaint and friendly and I had always hoped to raise a family in a community such as Fenton. To this day, I am still proud to call it home.

Tour of An Artisan Chocolate Factory; Cocoa Beans Galore!

Besides laying on a beach with a margarita how else would you like to spend a leisure afternoon? Well, I say visiting an artisan chocolate factory doesn’t sound too bad! I usually don’t have the time to leisurely walk through a chocolate factory. However, on my trip this summer to visit my family in Nashville, I was able to do some indulgent exploring. My mom mentioned the southern artisan chocolate company, Olive & Sinclair, and said they have tours we could attend. I said, “Sign me up!”

How To Take On Manhattan In 24 Hours!

The opportunity to go to Manhattan came up quickly and I couldn’t refuse. It was a last minute decision and I have to say I am usually not a spontaneous person. I have been there several times so I had already seen the usual tourist attractions such as Rockefeller Center, Times Square, Central Park and The Financial District. That said, there is so much more to see and do.
