How do you "Meet in the Middle" ?

Hellooooo.....

Wow ! Crazy email set ups. Not sure what I did yet sometimes I can't get into this page right away.... something to look into .....

So I have a group of 4 of us that connected through eWomenNetwork in some way shape or form and we have become close friends. We've been through a lot of things together including the passing of one of our dearest friends....... we try to get together whenever our schedules allow and that is usually once or twice a year on a personal meeting. We meet at other times for business yet we love sharing our personal time together..... this was one of our discussions last night at dinner.... We talked a lot about blogging yet the topic came around to MEETING IN THE MIDDLE.  What does that mean to YOU?

So we meet almost exactly in the middle for all of us.... sometimes, one drives a little further than the other and vice versa. We meet in the middle to make sure what we do stays together. Our friendships, our discussions both business and personal, our enlightenment of working towards common goals in life......

Do you meet your clients in the middle? Are you able to open up and  listen to what they say?  Listening is a skill that is so important in our everyday lives. Today, more than ever, we need to LISTEN to others. We need to be open, compassionate and understanding. Does this mean we always agree? Heck no !  The idea is for both sides, all sides, to listen and to be open to meeting in the middle.  Compromise should be a win win for all concerned.

To stay strong, to stay alert and aware, to stay on top of things and be the true intent of your being..... you need to MEET IN THE MIDDLE.  ( If you don't already)
So we drive to dinner and meet in the middle. We consult with clients and meet in the middle. We teach and learn from our children by meeting in the middle.  That middle is so important. It's where things can grow and change in a positive way. It's where ideas come together, spread together and create change.  Don't miss the boat by  talking over yourself, by walking away and by not willing to take a drive to keep connected.  MEET IN THE MIDDLE and see what happens....

Thank you my good friends....You can find these wonderful ladies on FaceBook or reach out to me...

Ramping it up in 2017...what's YOUR next move?

Hello 2017....

So January came and went and recently I was able to enjoy a wonderful cruise to Jamaica and the Cayman Islands. It was great to be with some great friends on the Carnival Sensation for the Poker Cruise 2.

Well, I always say that January is a planning month. I planned for a trip so coming back with piles of work left for me was just another sign that it was time to RAMP IT UP. 

I stumbled across this very cool network TV company on Face Book.... I come to find out that many of it's members/hosts are part of our eWomen Network including one of the founders. It was very cool talking with Jayne Rios one of the founders of the WBTVN -  Women's Broadcast Television Network....

I am proud and excited to say that I will be one of the new spotlight hosts. I will have a once a month 30 min. segment based on empowerment thorough the entertainment and fashion industry and through businesses making a difference in the World. It's going to be fun and exciting and is going to ramp up all that I am doing with this blog, with the business and with our new line of purses and handbags coming soon......

I hope you are finding a way to RAMP UP YOUR 2017 and try some new things to take you to new heights....

At the WBTVN there are Branded channels, spotlight hosts, and corporate channels available.  This global on line network offers Live streaming, live chat with and audience 24/7....How cool is that??
