The Producers!

On Saturday I got to enjoy one of the perks of Steve's job and we took 3 other couples out to dinner and then to see the new Mel Brooks musical The Producers...talk about FAB-U-Lous! Of course it wasn't Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick but boy were they ever close! Such a great show - my face hurt from the constant smile I wore on my face!

The dinner we all had before the show was fantastic as well...we went a place that one of the reps had suggested and I can guarantee you that Steve and I will be going back! They had this soft shell crab appetizer that was too die for along with their calamari - like no other I have had before! I think I could have been happy to just make a meal out of that! Of course my beef tenderloin was pretty tasty too! ;)

I haven't been able to stop singing..."I wanna be a producer...!!"

Basic Grey likes me!

I was told I should submit my STOP LO to Basic Grey for their website...so I did. And actually I submitted two others as well. They picked up my STOP LO and also The ABCs of ME. I know it is not quite like being published in a magazine but I am so excited just the same!

The last few days have not been the greatest for me so this was such a wonderful surprise. I really needed that "boost"!

STOP

There was a challenge to do a LO based on the word "STOP"... I do so few LOs about myself, but this seemed a perfect opportunity to get one done for my BOM.

Journaling reads:

STOP...

taking things so seriously… don’t be afraid to laugh a little, especially at yourself.

worrying about the “What if’s - ”… learn to take a risk now and then.

making excuses… make the time.

being so hard on yourself… accept the person you are just the way you are.

saying “I’ll finally be truly happy when - -” … start seeing the everyday joys right in front of you.

second guessing yourself… trust your instincts.

being so cynical… allow yourself to enjoy life’s little blessings.

thinking you aren’t good enough… KNOW that you are…

dwelling on the past… nothing you do can change it.

being so angry… you only end up hurting yourself.

blaming yourself… you can’t control everyone and everything.

looking to others for acceptance and approval… find it inside yourself.

holding back… give yourself permission to let go.
