How are your money problems affecting you?

Are you missing out on fun?

If you knew there were free events, would you get out and attend them?

Recently Brian and I attended a performance of the musical ‘42nd Street’. This event was held outdoors at Houston’s Miller Outdoor Theater.

You can’t beat the prices there. Not only are the performances top notch, but they are free! You get entertained by people while being outdoors. So you also have nature to appreciate and enjoy.

And when you allow yourself to enjoy the entertainers and nature, they can relieve your stress!

Because ‘42nd Street’ was taking place outdoors

How Can You Create Inspirational Stories?

How Can You Create Inspirational Stories?

I love inspirational stories, don’t you?

I’ve got another one of them to bring a smile to your face…another story resulting from Brian’s encounters at the grocery store.

Would you like to know what happened?

OK, I’ll tell you.

As Brian meandered through the produce area of the grocery store, he came across an elderly woman checking out the bananas…and talking to herself.

When she noticed Brian, she said, “Hi, I’m sorry, I’m talking to myself. Hope you don’t mind“.

“No, I don’t mind,” replied Brian.

Do you ever talk to yourself?” she asked.

And Brian replied, “Why of course I do! I think it’s great to talk to yourself!”

“I answer myself” said she.  Then she continued “Have you ever answered yourself?

Brian’s answer was…

Will These Short Love Quotes Bring You Happiness?

Will These Short Love Quotes Bring You Happiness?

Quite often when Brian returns from a little excursion to the grocery store, he has a story to tell. So when he returned home the other day, I was intrigued with his story.

This story is too good to keep to ourselves, so let me share it with you.

Here’s what happened.

Brian was at the deli counter, and in his usual friendly manner, he asked the deli clerk (I’ll call her Kara), “How’s it going?”

As Kara kind of bobbed her head from side to side, Brian observed that she seemed kind of down and out.  So he again questioned her.

This time she replied,“I’m having a hard time finding a job in my field. I finished school, and I don’t want to work here anymore. I missed a few open house employment job searches at certain locations.”

So Brian advised her…

What Do Inspiring Quotes Do For You?

Remember in my last post I talked about using mantras to be more confident?

Did you try using mantras yet?

Or how about inspiring quotes?

I’m telling you… they work!

Not just for my friend, but for me, too!

So, here’s my story of how a mantra and an inspiring quote helped me.

Some weeks ago Brian and I attended Pat O’Bryan’s UnSeminar6 in San Antonio, Texas. Although I knew that I was meant to be there, Brian wasn’t sure about attending.

But when our hotel room number corresponded to his birthday, we knew he was supposed to be there.

Do you notice signs like that showing up in your life?

Anyway, during the seminar I got inspired by one of the unscheduled speakers, Martha Giffen, who said how easy it was to get interviews from the speakers.

Sometime later Joe Vitale took the stage and wowed the audience. I’m always amazed at what he continues to accomplish…and… can you believe it?

He was homeless for a number of years!

So, at dinner that night, Brian was wishing he’d asked Joe how he got out of being homeless.

How did Joe go from being homeless, friendless and feeling unloved by everyone, including himself?

My brain started thinking, “I wonder if music or lyrics played a role? Maybe Joe would let me interview him about that and maybe other speakers would, too.”

Would I get up the nerve to ask Joe?
