Night of Hope for Breast Cancer

Sutter Home wine is sponsoring something amazing... Night of Hope!! And if you "like" their Facebook Page you can sign up to receive a Night of Hope kit for FREE.

Though it does not include actual wine it does include some pretty great items to have a wonderful girl's night in with the most special women in your lives. The kit includes:
Sutter Home for Hope pink Chico Bag
Pink ribbon bracelets
Pink corkscrew
Wine tasting skirts
Recipes and more

I am a huge supporter of Breast Cancer research. I plan to get a group together by next year to do the Susan G 3-day walk (this is another "what would I do if I could not fail"). I usually end up buying out wal-mart's supply of merchandise come October, and why??? No reason. I just feel passionately about it.

and here's even better news. If you GO HERE, you can add a "twibbon" to either twitter or facebook which puts a small wine label in the corner of your profile picture and they will Donate $1 to breast cancer research (no purchasing anything, no signing up, just allowing them usage of your profile picture)!!!!!!!

Just saw another thing on their site. If you buy any Sutter Home (I thought it was just their White Zinfindel) you can send in your capsule from the top of the bottle in and they will donate $1 for every capsule sent in!!!!

So sign up to Receive the kit on facebook (I WILL ALSO BE DOING A GIVEAWAY FOR ONE), buy a bottle of White Zin and gather up your closest gal pals and enjoy a night of fun together, and watch Beaches because is there any great chick flick??

New Mantra for business and life

As I was chowing down on an entire bag of Dove Milk Chocolates, I read every single quote typed up on the foil.

Little thoughts, and mantras that women have submitted to the company that inspire them. Usually I think they are cheesy and very "fortune cookie" but one I read today made me really think.

"What would you do if you could not fail?"

WOW. It got me to think how many things in life we hold back from doing because we are afraid of failure and rejection. Everything from taking our first steps as infants to asking our crush out, to pushing a new idea to a business partner. Everything we do involves making choices and from what I witness it has become so very easy to take the less challenging road and stick with what we know.
"We fear change"

I know personally, I have let fear lead my life. I never asked for a raise or promotion at work because I was happy and complacent with where I was at. In my business I'm finding myself struggling to network and market because I am afraid that people will see me as a goof.

If I could do anything and not fail it would be something along the lines of saying hello to every single person in a busy place; mall, airport, college lecture even.

SO... what would you do if you could not fail?? I would love to hear what you are holding back from doing, or have held back from doing in the past due to a "fear" of failure or rejection.
