Women in Direct Sales ~ 5 Books to Have

As you know, I just returned from a Leadership Conference in Newport Beach for Bamboopink. We learned from so many fantastic speakers about women in business for themselves. I love this quote, "If you wait for everything to be perfect, you will miss the perfect opportunity." So many creative women pass up great opportunities because they are not confident enough to take that "leap of faith". Sometimes, you have to just go for it! I really enjoyed listening to Carolyn Zainer, an interior designer by trade, as well as a fellow consultant for Bamboopink. Confident and enthusiastic are two adjectives that come to mind when I think of Carolyn ~ she and I hit it off immediately. Her wealth of knowledge in direct sales inspired me, and she also shared some wonderful books to learn even more. I ordered these for myself today.

Thank you Carolyn, I am honored to know you. See the list of books for purchase below:

Entertainment News: Water For Elephants

I loved the book, Water For Elephants, and cannot wait to see the movie ~ In theaters April 22nd. Starring Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattison and Christoph Waltz, it's sure to entertain.

Based on the acclaimed bestseller, WATER FOR ELEPHANTS presents an unexpected romance in a uniquely compelling setting. Veterinary school student Jacob meets and falls in love with Marlena, a star performer in a circus of a bygone era. They discover beauty amidst the world of the Big Top, and come together through their compassion for a special elephant. Against all odds -- including the wrath of Marlena's charismatic but dangerous husband, August -- Jacob and Marlena find lifelong love.

Bright Finds: Bossypants

Are you looking for a good book to read this weekend?

I Love Tina Fey's new book, Bossypants

Bossypants is short, messy, and impossibly funny (an apt description of the comedian herself). From her humble roots growing up in Pennsylvania to her days doing amateur improv in Chicago to her early sketches on Saturday Night Live, Fey gives us a fascinating glimpse behind the curtain of modern comedy with equal doses of wit, candor, and self-deprecation. --Kevin Nguyen

Healthy Living: Chicken Enchiladas

My daughter Catherine had to prepare a meal from beginning to end for her Spanish class. We ate her Chicken Enchiladas from Simply Mexican by Lourdes Castro last night. I think it was the best meal we have ever had in this household. If you love chicken and tomatillo sauce - you will love this dish!

"Chicken Enchiladas with Tomatillo Sauce" and "Fresh Salsa"

and finally.... Voila! Dinner is served!

and yes, we do have a real Palm Tree in our kitchen!
