Reach for the Stars...and Smile!

My car battery died!  I went to a conference last week and came back to a dead battery but after a jumpstart was good to go!  Then I bought a new battery and the car is like new again.  The conference also gave me a jumpstart to start some new habits in exercise and eating right.  

I am moving back from Panama to Maryland.  Crazy circumstances in need of fixing up my house and remodeling my life will hopefully give you some inspiration and motivation for 2019 to remodel your life.

My sister, my mother and I all have ADD! We see squirrels everywhere! Every craft turns into a new idea and we come up with ways to turn it into a business. www.sondisparkles.com is what we came up with. We were on messenger chat and brainstorming ideas to turn my mom's Harry Potter style crafts and stuffed animals into a business.

I broke a mercury thermometer and forgot how dangerous it can be. I also had a broken website that wasn't working on Safari. In both cases the lessons learned about researching and asking for help can be applied in all aspects of life.

Living abroad and starting a business with my husband has been a challenge but also rewarding. Also check out the 6 Minute Business Breakfast podcast that interviewed me and my journey.

I had an echo in some of my previous Podcasts I couldn't figure out where it was coming from, until a kind person - Daxy Perez suggested to me to check my reverb. What is a reverb? Turns out in Garage Band (which is where I edit my podcasts) has a setting I must have accidentally clicked onto give me an 'echo-y' voice for many of the podcasts. I've corrected it! Thanks Daxy for your suggestion. :o)

I learned a lot getting out of my comfort zone teaching English as a foreign language and a girls evening out that we played 2 truths & 1 lie. Want to hear my truths & lie?

When children want pizza and I know if I buy some I'm going to eat too much, we decided to make a small personal pan pizza...in the air fryer. It kept my daughter busy for over an hour!
