DO I KNOW YOU?
So, every day I walk past the Trade Secret store in Foothill Village and I look at this poster for the new O.P.I. nail polish collection, 'HONG KONG'. Beautiful model, nice graphics, great product. The girl just looked so familiar to me, like I know her from somewhere. Maybe it was in a past life? I racked my brain; well, not really racked, but I did wonder for a moment who she was. I just could not figure out why she looked so familiar. Then it hit me....
Bette Midler as Winnie Sanderson in the 1993 movie, 'Hocus Pocus'!! It is amazing the things and stuff that pop into my brain when I least expect it. I don't know if the people from O.P.I would be very happy with the comparison, or if they even realize the resemblance. But honestly, I may be the only person on earth who noticed. Maybe I should point it out to them.....
-You might notice that the theme for my new reading list happens to be based on the Willie/Martin Handcart Companies. Why? Because I am the Trek Master for our Stake Trek next year. I will be looking for suggestions, but until then I will be reading as much history as I can...

Life is all about things and stuff...
my epitaph?
Still reading for inspiration.....
Some of the things I have learned so far... some from the book and some from experience.
Hers......
1. Be Michael.
2. Act the way I want to feel.
3. Do what ought to be done and do it now (now is the hard part!).
4. Lighten up!
Mine......
1. "It is what it is"
2. Pay it forward (goes with #3).
3. Karma is so real!! What goes around comes around.
4. Hand signals don't help.
More "stuff" I have learned from Gretchen ! !
Hugs are important when bonding with those you love. However, a quick 'hug, hug, kiss, kiss' is not usually enough time to make a real connection. Six seconds "is the minimum time necessary to promote the flow of oxygen and seretonin, the mood-boosting chemicals that promote bonding." Try it. Test it out. Six seconds is really not very long but you will be amazed at the change it can bring about in your life. Hug you kids... they will respond. Hug your spouse... they will respond also. Try it for a week without telling anyone what you are doing. See if you can tell the difference. Let me know how it works for you.
