Are you ready to eat that frog? Dealing with the slimy taste first will give you momentum and stamina for the rest of the day! You’ll understand this more if you watch the slide presentation above. Procrastination is a natural assassin and the more we do it, the weaker we become!

As spring is here, this article concludes the New Year Series leaving you some lasting thoughts on how to tackle your goals each day and help you achieve long term success in all that you do.

Let’s spring into action and begin planting our seeds for the future.

Take a look at our recent updates on Stairway to Secrets: Poem/Song, Vision, Inspirational, and Book spotlights. Enjoy!

Enter the Scottish highlands above to view your Easter Greeting.

Easter says you can put truth in a grave, but it won’t stay there.  ~Clarence W. Hall

Let’s insert another line: It will rise with the rest of us.
 

On another note, think of your own rebirth as you lay to rest your past habits that have confined you.

Greetings! Make St. Patrick’s Day your best day yet and expect only the extraordinary!

Click on the picture below and slide down the rainbow to see what surprise awaits you!

On the main site, a new health tip has been added. Be sure to visit that spotlight and glean what you can. I lost a friend last week to the clutches of the disease mentioned there. A dear family member had to have extensive heart surgery the same week. Life is indeed valuable and precious, and every person counts in this mortal existence.  

My friend who passed away, just barely finished his book “The Significance of Insignificant Things” which
came off the BYU printing press. He was excited to have me read his book and help him market it. I was excited to share my comments with him after finishing the book and brought it to church on Sunday with the hope of finding him. Instead of finding him I found only words spoken by those who knew him…

God called him back but He waited till he finished his book. We have all these projects to do and so many things we wish to accomplish. Sometimes we don’t know Heavenly Father’s agenda and only think of our own. Luckily, this loving Father does think of ours and is ready to bless and support us. Who we are to become and assist is part of His personal agenda.

Reflecting upon the conclusion of his book, my friend talked about the importance of having a positive attitude in all things. Mistakes we make in life can be part of the journey and can serve as stepping stones to the desired destination (learning from our mistakes, or the appearance of them and moving on). Perhaps the end of the journey determines who we become. We should, therefore, not be so hard on ourselves regarding the mistakes we make in life; they may chisel the sculpture we desire to create, but the smooth, polished edges come after, in which the true form is identified.

I hope things go well for all of us and I pray we will always invite the Savior to be in our midst. On this day and everyday, let’s celebrate each other and toast to good health- to body, soul, and mind!

There have been some good guesses as to where the mystery place might be. The answer will be revealed at the end of the month. For now let’s continue the journey with the rest of these pictures. In the previous article the theme was on travel or journey. Let’s have a look at a different theme. How about food?

If you are a newcomer read the previous articles starting from “England” to this current one so you can participate as well.

Another place exploring traditional food

There are also very fine restaurants and one happens to be very famous for this particular dessert which is sold all over the world.

One final photo for those ethnic tastebuds, and one that I could not resist taking:

The next batch of photos will center around the “Market Theme” There are videos to look forward to but these will be shown at  a later date.

Are you ready for some pictures? Are you ready for another clue? The 1st clue previously mentioned of the mystery place was somewhere across the English Channel.  Guesses have been made but the answer will not be revealed until the end of the month. Remember there will be English treats waiting in the wings.

Here are the first batch of photos. The next article will reveal more. The sooner you get it right, the better the treat!

Let’s begin with the journey

You have some good clues here. There will be more pictures next time. Each article will have a picture theme. This one focused on the journey.

If you haven’t been following  my trip to England articles read my journal entries starting from  “England” to this current one. This is a journey I enjoy sharing with you.

As Valentine’s Day is approaching, there is a special I included that ladies would love (including myself when I get back from England). You can find it under “Health Tip” (the tab at the top of this page). Once you open that page just select the Valentine Special link at the bottom of the page.  The price is low and the quality outstanding.

Adieu for now.

Here are some pictures for you to delight in. Let’s start at the terminal in the Salt Lake City airport, to a blizzard in Chicago where some flights were cancelled except mine. The plane received special attention of de-icing which caught my attention as I looked out of the window. What surprises would this storm bring? The thought intensified when the captain of the plane announced for passengers to prepare for a little turbulence.

The northern part of England provided me with its red carpet welcome of rain. It didn’t matter, however, as the views made up for it. Here is a glimpse of the old country and its cobbled streets. Throw in a castle and some barges and what do you have? Why Skipton, in Yorkshire of course!

A visit to the market is always a fun experience. You walk away satisfied even without buying anything!

This is going to be quite a tour from one old country to the next..which is your first clue as mentioned in the previous article. The next batch of photos will come from across the channel. Be prepared for a great surprise, just how I was at first.  Any guesses? The first one who gets this right will get an english treat upon my return.  Which country am I referring to? If this is too hard a guess, there will be some photos for you to browse over next time.
