Chicago bound!!!

Here's a quick weekend update...

I've been in Chicago all weekend at a conference and I'm absolutely loving it!!!
Some of you already know from our facebook wall....

It's been a fantastic experience and I will fill you all in when I get back!

Here's a sneak peek :)

Talk soon!

Happy Monday Everyone!!

  I googled "monday"...
and you know what I saw...
it was so sad...
poor Monday!

On Wikipedia...
"A number of songs feature Monday, often as a day of depression, anxiety, or melancholy. For example, Monday, Monday (1966) from the Mamas & the Papas, Rainy Days and Mondays (1971) from the Carpenters, I Don't Like Mondays (1979) from the Boomtown Rats, and Manic Monday (1986) from the Bangles."

Yes it's the first day of the week when adults go back to work and children go back to school after the weekend.

But check this out...
It's really Moon Day!
"The name of Monday is derived from Old English Mōnandæg and Middle English Monenday, which means "moon day". "

Poor, poor Monday... it gets such a bad rap.
It is however, excitingly the first day of the week!

Kids get to go back in to school and see their friends!
Yes some people go back in to work... but Monday's get everyone's adrenaline going.
People say hello! How was your weekend?
There's chatter and discussion about what everyone did.
It's uniting if you really think about it.

There's Monday Night Football!

Here's some other amusing good things I found out about monday...

A few from Odee...
Monday is the best day to buy a car - car salesmen have few Monday buyers and are more willing to cut a deal :)

Monday is the least rainy day of the week! - Some people believe it's due to man made pollution subsiding over the weekend!

Workers only manage about 3.5 hours of productive work on a Monday.
So why complain???! :) You're going to do less on a Monday! YAY!
It tales a bit to get back in gear.

So hey!
Kick Monday's butt and enjoy the day!
Hope we gave you a few reasons to help you through it or at least smile!

It's kinda like a short day if there's only 3.5 hrs of work to do :)

Working from home

It was absolutely gorgeous this past week here in our home base of Pennsylvania.

Unseasonably warm temperatures and we were loving it!!
Here's a pic of Team LifeDesigning1 working the other evening.

We're not a flashy, picture taking, up on stage kind of bunch...
but we do want you to see, and know us!
That's Bob to the left, MaryAnn and Nikki out on the deck.
We're just like everyone else...

There IS one difference though...
We MADE this work from home thing happen!

And it wasn't always easy...

We're incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be able to do this
and we'd love to have everyone be able to also!
It's been a dream of ours for a long time.

If you've been wondering about starting your own work from home business
get in touch with us sometime, sign up for our emails
or follow us on Facebook.

We can show you how, what steps to follow and how to do it right!

We've done it wrong.
We've tried several things.
We know we've found what works!

See you on the other side when you'd like to jump in and see if you can do it.
We already know you can... But you've got to realize it and want it ;)

You can ALWAYS jump back out. It's the jumping in that takes courage,
The learning that takes determination...
And the pushing through it that gets you success!
We're right here for your support.

"For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: 'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?' And whenever the answer has been 'No' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something."
