My wife was flying home today from Texas... she travels a decent amount for work and was teaching at a conference earlier in the week. Her flight home today was 90 minutes late, and after she finally took off, they turned around the plane and landed... It was hit by a bunch of helium balloons! (and after landing, they took the plane out of commission!) You can't make this stuff up, friends!

I knew this day would come, but wow, it came fast! I'm so excited about things we have planned for you all... giveaways, trips (see below) games, special guests, free resources, and more. (if you haven't looked at our course area for a while, you need to... I'm always adding!) I created this group a while ago, but didn't really start promoting it until January... and POOF... we're at 100 beautiful members! (and on our way to 1,000!) SO MANY OF YOU have dm'd me, and I'm so happy to have gotten to know a lot of you so quickly and personally. However, I want our relationships to grow... so I have a request. When you have a question or need a little help, if others might benefit, please post them in the community. We all share the same struggles and successes, so let's share publicly. (unless it's private, of course, I still want to help) I want to THANK you all, bless and honor you all, and let you know I love you each! ❤️‍🩹 Stay tuned... you aint' seen nothin' yet! Deacon Nick PS- Would a giveaway where someone wins 4-7 free nights at a local hotel interest anyone?

We all have some type of system we use to plan our week. What do YOU do to get off to a great start? Do you start Sunday night or Monday morning? Is it written out? Do you use pen and paper, a calendar, or something else? Please share!

This can mean totally different things to different people. When I was 30 "success" was a huge house and fast car. Now? I can live in a mobile home and be happy. (nothing against anyone in a mobile home, lol) How do YOU judge success? Do you consider yourself Successful?
