Green

                         
                        The  Echoing Green

The sun does arise
And make happy the skies;
The merry bells ring
To welcome the spring;
The skylark and thrush,
The birds of the bush,
Sing louder around
To the bell's cheerful sound,
While our sports shall be seen
On the Echoing Green.

Old John with white hair,
Does laugh away care,
Sitting under the oak,
Among the old folk.
They laugh at our play,
And soon they all say:
'Such, such were the joys
When we all, girls and boys,
In our youth time were seen
On the Echoing Green.'

Till the little ones, weary,
No more can be merry;
The sun does descend,
And our sports have an end.
Round the laps of their mothers
Many sisters and brother,
Like birds in their nest,
Are ready for rest,
And sport no more seen
On the darkening Green.

The Images Of Others Do Not Have To Become Our Reality

Hi there, Reader;

I was doing one of the things I love the most, reading when I came across this image and thought. I can use this to make my reality know to others.





Sometimes in life we are forced into someone's reality. It might be because you have to take care of an aging parent, or your sister is ill and can't deal with her reality, so finances hits you in an unexpected way, because what you and your husband had plan won't happen due to reposibilty you didn't expect. Whatever, the reason. Here are somethings to keep you focused on truth.

1. There, reality doesn't have to be your truth. Stick with your truth.  What was your truth from childhood is still your truth today. You just have more.life experience. Meaning if you prayed, meditated, contemplated, you can still do that today.

2. Doing the right thing isn't a ways the easiest thing. Sometimes, it hurts your name and reputation. It's something you don't need to examine to people.

3. Being true doesn't always look like it.

4. Plan the best you can for the future, it won't always be what His best is, however as they say, to thine own self be true.

5. Stick with what you know, meaning let your yes be yes and your no be no. Trust, your truth, let Go and Let God.

6. You have a future. A Hope.

Three

Three

Hi there, Reader;

Have you thought about three. In business we talk, talk, talk about the things we want to do. However, there are those doing it. Bigger and better than we could ever imagine.

Three such a simple number. Numbers the infinite possibilities of things that can happen. I believe that there is a truth to three, that no man can truly understand, yet all man covet.

The wiki dictionary had definitions of three. From religion to philosophical. Such profound things escape me. I am on the more realistic of thoughts. On the practical. In business your word should be truth. At least in my business. It's on the contract.

The philosophy of meeting and event planning in it's simplest form is. This like the English language always has the following.

1. Beginning: You have to meet with the clients. Discuss what they want, what they need, and what they are willing to pay for. This might take one meeting, it might take two meetings, either way it is the moment when people come together to discuss the needs of what they want.

2. Middlle:  When you are planning the event. It doesn't matter if it is your meeting, your wedding, your event. It is the day to day planning when things are refined. Discussed, planned, refined, produced and implemented. This is the process were contracts sometimes get altered, due to the changes. This is where the event planner has the right has the right to change the budget you originally discuses because you want more than planned. You want flowers that cost more. Venue that wants more, reception linen that came with the venue wasn't good enough so you want to change it. You want a bitter and bigger music it went from dj to live band. The photographer changed from uncle sam to a professional photographer. The tears from the bride can no longer be taken from friends and family hearing her say..."This is my wedding. I have been waiting for this all my life." The business person things..."This is my event, I have been thinking about this for 6 months, I thought of this a year ago." What is the reality...in a year lots of things change. Pricing changes and last years trends may not be today's. Are you into the trend or into what it will bring when its over. Either way it comes with a cost.

3. End:  The final result from the event, meeting or wedding. What your guest see, feel, think. How they interact with you as a person. What name and reputation you build.

The reality is three. The symbol for many things. The remembrance of sacrifices made and a life that is sometimes created from an event to be remembered in the life of the person for life. Knowing the difference between life and reality. Truth and false and that in business it is best to have truth. What is truth?
