Feel the fear, and do it anyway!

Earlier this year I was compelled to start writing down my bucket list – things I really would like to do, or accomplish before I die.

I have several things on my list, most are places to see, adventures to have, classes to take, places to explore, and few are items on my “want” list.

I am very happy to announce that I have recently checked off one of my bucket list items!

I call this both an adventure item and overcoming my fear of heights! Best of all, I got to check off this bucket list item with my loving husband!

We spent the beginning of this month at the Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque, thanks to a dear friend and long time balloonist. We had a tremendous time with VIP treatment and a behind the scenes tour. We met some amazing people and spent time with new friends. We have been blessed by being able to take our very first hot air balloon ride at this very large event.

We overcame our “fear of heights” by feeling the fear and doing it anyway!

Have you started your bucket list?

Are you taking action to check off those items on your list?

I challenge you to start one today, and start planning a way to check those items off!

Life is to short to not experience those things you wish to experience.

According to dictionary.com the meaning of Synergy is:

the interaction of elements that when combined produce a total effect that is greater than the sum of the individual elements, contributions, etc.

Like the Thunderbirds, it’s nice to say that for the first time in a very long time we have great synergy at work. Being a small business owner has its ups and downs and as changes occur, we see people come and go. We have always had a great team of people that work with us, but with recent changes we have had to say goodbye to some really awesome people. Some took the road on their own and a few we had to let go.

It’s always sad, especially when your company is small, but knowing the new path and direction we are headed, making sure that your team is aligned with you is very important.

We NOW have that team!

I feel really good about our direction and where we are headed. It’s exciting and scary all at the same time. I see the light, I see where we need to be, and together we, our TEAM, is making this happen. I am sure we will continue to have those bumps, but as long as we share the same vision, we can inspire each other to keep moving forward.
