So, it seems that one of the best places I brainstorm is in the shower. Yep, in the shower. I’m not sure if its the steam or that I am completely relaxed there but I get the best ideas there.
I thought I was the only one who was like this but I found out that I wasn’t. I was listening to one of Kelly McCausey ” Mom’s Talk Radio” podcast with Nicole Dean. You can listen for yourself here.
Anyway, I was elated to hear Nicole say that she to got the best ideas in the shower. But what really got me was that she said she should get some kiddie bath crayons to use when the thoughts hit her. I was like “YAY”. What a great idea that was.
I ran out the very next day to buy myself some bath crayons. My shower now looks like a bit old coloring board…lol. I love it!
Thanks Nicole for such a wonderful idea! You have saved my life….and my failing memory… lol

How bad do YOU want is? This is what I asked myself this morning after getting off the phone with @tarynp from Twitter. We have been communicating on Twitter about merchant accounts for the last few weeks and finally had a second to chat this morning. (Great lady by the way!).
Anyway, after getting off the phone with her, I realized that I have been stopping myself for succeeding in the way I have envisioned my life and dreams. I have been the one in the way of my success. What the hell! Oh, heck no! That is just unacceptable to me. How is it that I am in the way of my OWN happiness. It’s so much easy to blame others for your lack of success. I think its so difficult to say, that you yourself is the cause of your lack of success.
So then the next statement to myself was this: Get the heck out of my way…lol. Yes, I said it. I can not have you stopping me from my God giving blessings. I can not tell you how HUGH this moment was for me. I can not believe that I have been fighting with myself! Fighting against the things I truly want. How crazy is that? LOL!
So now that I know that I have been the problem all along, things are about to change! Everyday I will ask myself : ” How bad to I want it?” I know that there will be good day as well as bad. I can not and will not allow the bad ones to take over my dreams again. They mean way to much to me! I simply have to just move out of my way!
Thanks for listening….
Best,
Natalie
