Shout out for James (and Greg)

Filed under Generally Speaking

Just wanted to do a big Shout Out of THANKS to James Cook, who works with me, and who was the one who personalized my site.

The big smiling girl at the top is my daughter Brianna at the age of 4. That smile is definitely a guiding light in my day. He also added pics and changed my banner to orange (my favorite color - reminds me of sunsets on Hilton Head Island). Thanks so much James!

I have been very fortunate this past year to have two new people in my life - James and Greg Thibodeaux, my new business partner. We’ve started a new business called The Method Agency (I’ll talk more about that later), which we’re all pretty excited about. These gentlemen are kind, funny, hard workin’, family-oriented, highly authentic and keep me on my toes! How I have truly been blessed.

12 Tenets for an Amazing Year

I totally dig Anthony Robbins and the resources, inspiration, tools he provides. Why not be inspired, eh? I recently was sent 12 Tenets - an uplifting flash clip that reminds me of what type of life I want to create. Below I re-listed these Tenets but I highly recommend checking out the visual snippet as there is nothing like seeing “inspiration” too - just sets one in the mood. Wishing everyone an AMAZING year!
