This past weekend I was extremely fortunate to be able to attend Shannon Hudson's 11th ANNUAL EXCEPTIONAL EXPECTATIONS event in Fenton, Michigan. Featured speakers for this incredible, two-day event were Young Living Diamonds Shannon Hudson, Sarah Harnisch, Tom Nikkola, and Vanessa Romero. The guest speakers spoke on a variety of topics, all centered around the theme: Expectations -- What We Do and Why We Do It.
Vanessa Romero spoke about human behavior, specifically our four core tendencies and how we respond to inner and outer expectations. She used the model designed by Gretchen Rubin and explained in Gretchen's book, "The Four Tendencies." This was a fascinating lecture focused on identifying what our own unique tendencies are, as well as what the tendencies are of the people we interact with. By identifying and understanding these tendencies we are then able to better communicate with those around us.

Another fabulous speaker this weekend was Sarah Harnisch. She shared with the audience her incredible journey from a life of poverty, sickness and deprivation to one of abundance, wellness and purpose. Her best-selling book, "Gameplan," has sold over 1.5 million copies and she guided attendees through the simple steps explained in the book. She emphasized the necessity to "embrace your pace -- don't compare yourself to others." This holds true in business building as well as in everyday life.
I can't exclaim enough on how powerful and inspirational this whole event was. If you ever have a chance to attend one of Shannon Hudson's events, I highly recommend it.
L'Chaim!

Good morning friends! This morning when I came downstairs to make my coffee, I was greeted by the warm glow of our daughter's (Devorah) Yahrzeit candle. It is Jewish custom to light a candle on the evening before the anniversary of the passing of a beloved family member. Twenty-one years ago we lost our precious Devorah. The candle burns for 24 hours and is a loving reminder to us of our very special little daughter. With the gift of time and a lot of work, I am able to have happiness in my heart. Ironically, it is with the feelings of deep sorrow and grief that we are able to make huge leaps of growth, to find limitless happiness, appreciate what we have, and learn to cherish the little, mundane moments that make up the majority of our days. And now I'd like to share with you the story of our youngest son Theodore, Teddy as we lovingly call him. You can imagine, I'm sure, the emptiness that I felt after losing my daughter to cancer. My days for two solid...
