"Live long and PROSPER" Day 7

.....This is my wish for all of you !

So sharing this story is going to be fun as it's inspirational to me so I hope you can find some of that for yourself..... Let's start with the photo:

So I had this stone.... (and I love these kinds of stones and the plain energy stones too)..... that said PROSPERITY.  When I do my mastermind series I set these stones up from time to time on the table. I also have this one:

Many of you may recognize it as the logo for my business. So I had the stones in a bag and when I finally went back to them , the prosperity stone was broken ! I believe the other stone was just too heavy in the bag and somehow that stone got broken. Well , of course, I did not and would not believe that my PROSPERITY was broken, I just decided and intended that I was going to have a "different" Prosperity and one can only hope this was a good thing. I made sure that THAT  is how I saw it. I believed in my heart that things were on the "change" again....... for the good......

So the next day, I go to the shop where I got the stone and try to get another one. They are out !  The ordered more of them while I was there. So I go back 2 more times and hey haven't come in yet. Then on this one particular day I go in ( 3rd time a charm) and they got in a handful of pcs. only. That was still great news for me . I ran over to the box where they are kept and I saw beautiful stones.....except they didn't say PROSPERITY.....................they said PROSPER !

I took that stone home and placed it on the counter. Since then a lot of good things, I mean REALLY good things started happening..... nothing overwhelming, however, it was exactly the positive change I wanted and look to the future for.......

Today, I will embark on a short trip to the stone store. I need to pick this stone up for someone else.... let's see what is in store for them with my strong energy beliefs.....

Follow your heart, live full, honest and loyal. Be kind to one another and of course, "Live long and PROSPER !"

Enjoy !

What a jam packed couple of days ! 4, 5, and 6

So it's starting again.....Day 4, Day 5, Day 6.....

Just having to play catch up. I know it's just my crazy routine...... I'm making it great ! LOL

So Tues. I had the opportunity to visit again with Patti Lattanzi and Billy Carlucci at Filomena's Restaurant.   Each and every Tuesday , they record a "cruisin' oldies" show with Live entertainment for the radio. In fact, today is the day you can hear it on line at www.wvlt.com   ( cruisin' 92.1)  between 7 and 8 PM Eastern Standard Time.


Patti Lattanzi, Billy Carlucci and the 2nd "LA- Lucce"  Billy's brother in photo !

              Sneak Peek of Gentleman ( Diamond) Jimm and production Manager Dennis Burke !

It was great to see some of the people I haven't seen in awhile and meet and make some new friends.

Sat next to a gentleman who started a Beatles tribute group called "From Me to You".
Looking forward to going back again in 2 weeks to hear them on the show.

The show was fantastic, as usual. Just like I remember when I first met  everyone with the late Ted Prior. I find it so strange that I go up there this Tues., after not being there for some time, and there are 3 Elvis performers. Great job guys. See you again soon.  The magic and the power of 3's !
 I know Ted was watching !  Shout out to the late Ted Prior Star and founder of the "El -Live Show" - miss you my friend. May you rest in Peace and continue to watch over us !

Wed. I hired a director in my company. Yay !  See her photo below and help me welcome her to the 4 A STAR family officially. She has been helping us for some years now as we also manage her daughter, India. She is a super-star model and has the World at her feet.

Today, well it's early yet but I can tell you that I'm having lunch with a couple of friends and business associates at a local Indian Buffet near me. The real spicy stuff is not up my alley but I like the food on the milder side.  I haven't been to this buffet in awhile so I'm looking forward to a great lunch !

Go out and make it a great day !

Featured person of the day today is Evelyn Licona- Our new Director of Special Projects.
Evelyn will be working on finding events/clients for our Wedding division, castings for our models, and also eyes open for our new Balloon Artists doing "Deco Art" for special occasions.  We will talk about them tomorrow !

                                                                          Miss India

Does your mail make you feel popular? Day 3

Good Morning!

So I went to the thrift store looking for some kind of shelving and I found this great white piece of something..... It looked like sort of bread box without a cover with a shelf on top and a dowel going across .  It seemed to be part of something bigger by the markings on the back.

So I got this shelf/box thing and proceeded home to figure out a way to keep the thousands of pcs. of mail off the floor in my bedroom.  Does this happen to you???    There is NEVER enough room for any mail.  It is just so annoying lately.   I've made spots for mail before but I never designated a piece of furniture ( even though it's fairly small) just to the mail.   I'll keep you posted if this works. Now I have to make a system for it.

I'm looking forward to stepping outside on this Sunny day.  Just to take a breath of fresh air will feel good. Everyone in the household has been sick lately and I'm trying to avoid that. Been over-tired lately, if you may, but otherwise ok. I'm sure many of you can relate as this is the season for colds and various things that "bring us down".... So find a breath of fresh air to keep your mind clear.



Today's featured business/person is  Michelle Barber Verbit.   Not only is she one of our Javita Coffee leaders in this area, she is also a rep. for Melaleuca. ( products that are all natural and chemical free). She is one of the founders , along with her husband Andy, of GBAM industries. Here they work on many projects most of them to do with Green aspects of the environment.


This is a photo with Myself ( in the pink boots) Andy and Michelle, Chris Mantzaris ( Javita Guru) and founder of Javita, Stan Cerelstein.

Take care and make it a great day !

Is it just me? Day 2

Good Morning,

Is it just me?..... or do many of us leave that "thing" that we've walked by in the house time and time again and said, "Got to get to that". So I got to that .....finally.....
Nice to see an empty table for a change, however that won't be the case for long for this is where i put my Holiday stuff !  So it's been almost a year of "Got to get to that".....

Does that happen to you?  This was a simple task yet I just kept putting it off over something else.
I can't say that I WANTED to do that but I got it done today.


Also today, I went to the local mall and walked off my breakfast about a half hour before they opened. It was interesting to see so many people in the Mall waiting for stores to open and hanging out.....

I met one of our featured people today for breakfast. Her name is Erin and she owns and operates
MAINSPRING SOCIAL MEDIA.   She is a social media expert. Not only can she help with Face Book, Twitter and the like, she also can come into your employment place and speak on Internet safety in the social media world. I'm really excited to have Erin speak at one of our upcoming workshops.  Check  it out  and enjoy your day !

And away we go ! Day 1

Good morning..... Hope everyone remembered the time change for Sunday.  It's 4 AM and I am putting up the first day of the new 365 day blog challenge. The Balcony Blogger is back !  So here are the set up guideline. First, Love for you to FOLLOW the blog. You can see we have 21 followers ( double from the on set last year) and we now have over 9,000 page views from all over the World ! ( started with 900 last year)

So, this is your challenge :    do something for at least 5 minutes, everyday, that you haven't done before, that you haven't done in a long time, or that breaks you away from your everyday routine. This time we are adding our attempts at the new blog..... random acts of kindness and exercise moments / tips  to share. We are also adding a featured person or business to each blog.  ( that will start tomorrow- or later today as it may ! LOL)

So you can chime in on any or all of it, this is the time to change your life even if it's only for 5 minutes a day. You never know what that 5 minutes can do for you. If you like, go back in the archives and see some of the cool things we did before. Please encourage your friends to follow this blog.....

We are also bringing back our day of change ! That is Sundays (as this is a family or Church day for a lot of people) So all we do on Sunday is take all the change you have accumulated for the week, change it to dollars if you can and stick it in an envelope. Seal it and do not write on the outside. PLEASE REMEMBER WHERE YOU PUT YOUR ENVELOPES !  If you have an odd amount of change , that goes into the following week. Use this money for something special later in the New Year.  I will disclose what I'm using mine for as the time gets closer .

Let's make it a great year of discovery and fun !
Welcome back to the "Balcony Blogger Challenge" !

Where does the time go?????

Hello fellow bloggers, business associates and friends..... so where does the time go????   I've been away most of the Summer and 7 days after my return from 2 trips, I got a serious phone call from a friend and business associate. It appeared that another business associate had taken an attempt on her life...................yes, you heard me...............  so now that a lot of knowledge has been gained and a lot of stress/pain has been gone through, I think we are back ....from that situation..... stay tuned for a blog to come out of that whole situation and a way to help others keep moving forward once they get out.....................

I think, that our 365 day blog challenge was the best one yet. It forced me to get on here every day and it also created many more page views for this blog. It also created many great moments , stories, memories and much awareness !

So here is what I am thinking..... Nov. 1st, we start again and add a few more things.....
1. Do something for at least 5 min. every day that you haven't done in awhile , that you've always wanted to do or just something that breaks you away from an everyday routine.
2. We will keep our Day of change on Sundays...... ( and pick a time you want to use the change you are accumulating)
3. We are going to add an "interesting new friend or acquaintance "..... someone you met within a week ( so from one blog post to the next) that you want to shout out to or say something about.....

We are counting down to Nov. 1st............when we start:

THE BALCONY BLOGGER CHALLENGE AGAIN..... 

I also challenge you to join and invite friends to join this site and this blog. It's FREE ! Just sign up and join our blog posts !

Finishing up the Brand re cap

Well, it's Monday again and here we are..... I hope you had your thinking cap on with regards to brand recognition. What things did you think about? How are you changing or bettering your BRAND?  One of the things to help with that is to evaluate your ups and downs ( not only profit and loss, but just highs and lows of your business in general) in some kind of time increment..... 3 months, 6 months, one year...whatever works for you. You need to actually set up an evaluation time whether it's alone with family or with staff and write down the things that you did right and the things that maybe didn't work out so well.

This way you can visually see where you spending your time, energy and money and re-evaluate your goals etc....

Contrary to some opinions, I believe that once you come up with your logo, your mission statement or idea, and your slogan.........you need to make sure EVERYONE knows what that is.....  It is crucial to keep these things out where people can see and hear about YOU and what you are doing.....

....and our squats????.... Hope you are keeping up with that and burning some gorgeous lines... Haha

Time has been crazy for me so I will get back in here when I can. In the meantime, work on your strategies both physically and emotionally to keep moving forward....

Enjoy !
