realtors: A Special Honor to our Business Associate, Technical Wizard and Son!
- 07/13/08 09:31 AM
I think it is important to remember to thank those that assist you and help you in your business. It is important to say thank you! I would like to honor our amazing and technically gifted son and business associate, Chris Woodworth. He once was asked what he did in our company and he said, "I make her shine!" That is correct. I am the big picture person and occasionally give my attention to details regarding technical things. However, he is the one that brings my desires and dreams to life! He has learned and figured things out mostly on his own. … (16 comments)

This post is dedicated to Gary Woltal from Texas, one of my greatest encouragers, here on the Active Rain Community!

realtors: A Significant Once in a Lifetime Birthday!
- 07/08/08 06:25 AM
Today is a special day for me. I was born on July 8, 1954. That is exactly 54 years ago today! I have been intrigued and inspired by the numbers of 1954 and being 54 today. I started thinking about it and realized it will only happen once in my lifetime. I don't know if you noticed when your birth year and actual years matched or not. Have you experienced this yet? However, for some reason I think it is special and I thought about my life and my future this year. For some reason I feel it is going to … (14 comments)

realtors: You are invited to take a Refreshing Walk near the Boise River!
- 06/30/08 10:23 AM
I thought it would be a great idea to take some pictures on our family week around our beautiful neighborhood. Thankfulness and gratitude swell in our hearts as we take this family walk. Walking is a great time to catch up with uninterrupted family talk, questions and good old fashioned fun. Of course the side benefit is also getting healthier with each walk we take. The story of our house was such a miraculous event that I never tire of walking up with thankfulness for our home and the beautiful neighborhood we live in.

- 06/27/08 02:01 PM
Isn't it amazing how much some color and flowers will do in your yard or patio? I have been a "Lifetime Addict of Flowers" anyone that knows me will not argue about that fact about me. I have some perennials that grow in our yard every year like roses, lavender, peonies and tiger lilies and others that I do not know their formal names in our yard. However, we were missing some annuals with their very bright and cheery colors in our yard. Life has been hectic for us and we just had not had time to plant any this year. I … (5 comments)
realtors: What kind of Business Cell Phone Etiquette do you have?
- 06/27/08 12:54 PM
Isn't it amazing how much cells phones affect so many parts of our lives? Cell phones have really changed our lives haven't they? My husband was gone for two weeks to complete his last Doctoral module in Southern California. He would call every morning and then in the evenings. It is important to check in with each other especially during our time of traveling to make sure to keep our family life going and keep the communication lines open for all. My son and I were home running the business. We put the cell phone on the "speaker mode" and continued our various activities … (21 comments)

- 06/19/08 07:02 PM
We took time out yesterday to to see the memorial service for Tim Russert. It was an amazing service and wonderful tribute to such an amazing man. It was refreshing to hear the stories of a man that impacted so many people. All of the tributes were so touching and truly inspiring. I am not surprised that so many felt like they knew him personally. I loved hearing how much he enjoyed his life and could not believe he was getting paid for what he loved to do. He really was amazed to cover politics and be the "Custodian of the Show" on Meet the Press for … (57 comments)

- 06/19/08 02:18 PM
Saturday, I was able to teach on one of my favorite subjects, Color! I have been teaching various decorating classes through the City of Boise, Parks and Recreation Art Department for several years now. Why do I do it? It is part of my community service to give back to others. It may be on a smaller scale than some of my other presentations and training that I do, however, it is still fun for me to meet new people in the community that are eager to learn something new. I never know what kind of students will attend my classes. … (1 comments)

- 06/13/08 09:28 AM
Since, it is Father's Day weekend, I would like to honor my late Father-in-law, J.R. "Dick" Woodworth. Most of us come from dysfunctional families. However, I am grateful that there are surrogate family members that come into our lives that help to fill in some of those gaps. My father-in-law and I had a very special and unique relationship. Of all of the family members, he was the one showed me the most unconditional love. I am very grateful for that. It did not matter how well I performed. He thought I was great all of the time. He was one … (6 comments)

- 06/08/08 10:34 AM
I continue to see how others market their business. I want to see what makes a business stand out from the rest. I will be a "Life Long Learner." I thought I would share my experience of a recent vendor that stood out from the rest with some simple marketing strategies that caught my attention. As I previously mentioned, we went to the Star Mule Days Fair. I kept looking at the various vendors and most of the vendors seemed nice and typical. However when I came upon "The Dog Waggin" Hot Dog Stand there was something different about these people … (12 comments)

- 06/07/08 04:53 PM
Our family just got back from "Star Mule Days." It's an annual fair and carnival in the town of Star, thirteen miles west of Boise. One of my recent Dewey Color Consultant graduates, Marilyn Perkins, invited us. We were surprised to see her singing on the stage! She is very talented!

If you live in Southwest Idaho, check it out! Tomorrow (June 8) is the last day! When … (3 comments)

We were honored to attend the International Contest for the Toastmasters Conference, Region 15 in Boise, ID last weekend. Although we were not able to go to the entire Conference we were told that if you could at least get into one of the sessions, this final contest was the best of the best. Even though, I do lots of presentations, public speaking and training on a variety of motivational topics, color, redesign, staging, budget decorating, just to name a few, learning to improve my presentation skills and from others is something I enjoy!

realtors: Idaho's Famous J.R. Simplot, "Mr. Spud" Memorial and Impact on Idaho and beyond!
- 06/02/08 03:13 AM
We had one of the most active and influential citizens of Idaho die this week, J.R. Simplot. They had a wonderful memorial service for him at the Qwest Arena and on KTVB yesterday. He was probably one of the richest men in Idaho History that had very humble beginnings as a farm boy. He is probably well known as "Mr. Spud" for the Idaho potatoes that McDonald's Restaurants uses for their french fries, among other ventures around the world. My husband, Dan, remembers after graduating from the University of Idaho and how he moved back home to get his Accreditation to teach … (2 comments)

- 05/31/08 05:53 AM
I received a gift this week that totally suprised me! It had been a challenging week, but I received a small but powerful surprise! I received a beautiful white rose bouquet that was totally unexpected. My husband has been great on giving me flowers throughout our almost 29 year marriage. It was not from him. Who would be sending me flowers for no apparent reason? I never tire of receiving flowers. They bless me tremendously! The beauty, fragrance, colors and the symbolism has always been a delight to me. I looked at the Card and it was from Jack's Flowers here … (15 comments)

How many states do you fly through to get to Atlanta, GA from Boise, ID? We went across the county to the southeast corner of the United States. Wow! We flew through eleven states to get there from Boise. Wow! Then we discovered that the Atlanta Airport is one of the largest airports in the nation. It is amazing that you have to ride a train just to retrieve your luggage! I thought Los Angeles International Airport was huge. It is truly a city of its own. We then took the Marta, the public train, to get to our Hotel. It … (4 comments)

Do you know the importance of adding a day or two to your business trip to visit the sights when you travel? It is so easy to just to go in and out of a city and not take time to visit one of the city's sights to your trip. Think about it.
