Mantra Monday: Learn

~ Learn ~


This week I have been scheduled for some training classes here at work. So I have decided to make it my Mantra for the week to open my mind and learn. For those of you that know me, know that I am a training professional…so normally, I am the one teaching, not the one learning. This is a tough position for me to be in—sometimes trainers are the worst learners. When I sit in a class, it takes all of my focus and energy to pay attention and be engaged in class.

Now, I don’t claim to know it all…and I know that life throws you curve balls to learn, so I am also going to take the opportunity to reflect on the past and learn from the mistakes that I have made. There are several things that I need to ‘learn’ this week, so I am keeping an open mind and entering into ‘sponge’ mode so that I can be successful in my job and in life.

Mantra Monday: Dance!

~ Dance ~



I can’t help but dance every time I hear this song, it makes me so happy!

‘Dance, Dance, Dance, like it’s the last last night of your life!’

So that is what I am going to this week, I am going to take some time out of everyday to just dance. Dancing makes me happy…and if something so simple makes me so happy, I must do it!

What is your favorite dance song?

Grateful Posting: Social Media

Social Media

Today, I am grateful for Social Media, it has helped this girl with coming out of her shell. Some people think that I have a problem and that I am attached to my iCrack (iPhone) like it is my life line…but what they also don’t understand is that I have met some AMAZING people over the internet. I am pretty active on a total of 3 social media sites and I absolutely love it (for those of you that follow me – you know LOL).


First, is Facebook. I have connected with so many past school mates here it’s been amazing! Now, I am not so obsessed with Facebook that I am playing all of the games out there, but I do update my status ~ a lot.


Second is Twitter. I love Twitter…I get to say the most random stuff and sometimes I get a reaction that makes my day. I have also met SO many amazing Jazzercise instructors on Twitter – in fact I actually ran into one on the streets of New Orleans! How small of a world is that?


Last is Loopt Mix. This is a site that allows you to find people with common interest in your area. You put a little info about yourself and just start chatting with people. You can tell them as little or as much as you want. I’ve met some really cool people on here!

So today, I am thankful for branching out and embracing technology to improve my social life.
