Jon's New Digs...

Jon has been promoted to a training position within the company he works with. He's throughly enjoying it, and has just moved to an office location with mohagany furniture. My mom and sister co-planned a desk placard with Jon W. Klaus printed on it. It left Jon speechless. That kind of surprise is the best!

Jacksonville, FL

I just visited Jacksonville, FL for work Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. My manager Lora and I had dinner out on the beach front view of Joe's Crab Shack. It was awesome, about 80 degrees and the white sand was very fine and not course at all. We didn't want to leave people were swimming of the beach and fishing from the pier. There's nothing like the smells of fresh water, and the coastal wind flowing through your hair...it made me more anxious for our impending vacation to Gatlinburg, TN. And that Jon and I definately need a vacation on a beach somewhere in the near future.

Astrology

Here's my astro-horoscope for today:

The universe wants to give you a hand no matter how crazy your dream is. In fact, the crazier the dream, the better. It's time for big, bold and innovative thinking. Don't be afraid to reach for the stars.

I know I've had days where it's pretty much said don't leave the bed or house today... :o) But this one is awesome, it feeds my dreaming, enteprenuering spirit! I just had to share.

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's we know!!!

Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs... since the payment is pure love. ~Mildred B. Vermont

Four Success Strategies for Mom's:
1. Remember God loves you!
2. Value Motherhood through Appreciation!
3. Let go of the "Supermom" myth!
4. Focus on the ultimate reward!

"I thank God, whom I serve, as my forefathers did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers. Recalling your tears, I long to see you, so that I may be filled with joy. I have been reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded, now lives in you also." 2nd Timothy 1:3-5
