FAMIC in Austin and Something More… 0

Many of you were, most likely, at the NFDA event in Boston this week; so I’m pretty confident you’re feeling the same somewhat disoriented way that I am as you return to work today.
Even though I wasn’t in Boston, I’m feeling that this week just flew by. The weather has turned colder, so I’ve spent [...]

Inspiring Words for Your Friday Morning 0

Every day, as I mentioned before (I think) I get inspiring emails from Neale Donald Walsch. Today’s was really nice, and I wanted to share it with my favorite women!

The Round Table on Marketing…a Report-Back 0

Well, it was an enjoyable conversation between me and Kimberly Baker, our Advisory Board member – not truly a ’round table’ at all! What was planned as a structured event turned into a dialog – where we touched on a myriad of topics related to marketing.
One thing that came from the conversation was how small [...]

Dreaming…Together! 0

One of my personal heroes is John Lennon. Granted, I was in love with him when I was 10 years old, and his musical/political career as a member of the Beatles and as a ‘solo’ performer wove its way into the fabric of my early adulthood; but there’s more to it than that. He was [...]

The Storm and Shine On Brightly 0

Well, we survived, and quite nicely – the worst storm since 1962 rolled through Santa Cruz County yesterday, dropping over 10 inches of rain! You can read more about it here: http://www.santacruzsentinel.com/ci_13557754.
I had fully intended on writing a wonderful blog post on www.shineonbrightly.com. But, as I was without power for over 11 hours, it was [...]

A Beautiful Blessing… 0

Good Morning, everyone;
I sit here, long before the sun will rise, and think about our Association. How I can best serve our members; how I can energize, and enrich our lives. Then, I thought…a blessing might be nice; a spiritual way to start our week together. This is from the Apache…and I’m sure it is [...]

Let’s Talk about Home Funerals! 0

I found this video on YouTube, and would love to start a conversation about the home funeral movement. As a Level 2 Home Funeral Guide (unseasoned), I support the choice – and know that it’s just a small percentage of families who would choose this route. BUT, it can bring up strong emotions among licensed [...]

Austin…here I come! 0

I’m delighted to tell you all that I was invited to participate in the FAMIC conference, scheduled for November 4-6, 2009…in the wonderful city of Austin. Now, I’ve never been there, mind you; but I’ve heard really great things about it!
If you don’t know what the FAMIC is (as I didn’t), it’s the Funeral & [...]
