The PF Women Team at our Annual Team Retreat ~ 2018 Today on Seth Godin's blog, he said: It's tempting to decide to make a profit first, then invest in training, people, facilities, promotion, customer service and most of all, doing important work. In general, though, it goes the other way. Yes, it does. If you are waiting to make a profit before you do these things, in my experience you're not going to make a profit. So many organizations, ministries and churches are struggling with financial issues. I know your pain. As anyone who follows our story knows, our ministry was in a ton of debt four years ago when I came on as director. Since that time, we've gotten out of debt and turned a profit every year. God has done amazing things through out team, for which we give Him the glory! I find that what Seth is saying here is absolutely true, with one disclaimer. For Christian leaders, spiritual disciplines must always be first. Before we started i...
Today will not be the same "Fun Friday" as it normally is today due to some things on the agenda so thankfully Larry and I were able to break away for a short date last night.
While out and about we went to frozen yogurt shop in Wiregrass Shops called MochiBerri. They specialize in traditional flavors as well as some unique new ones. They make them with fresh, all natural ingredients. Their fresh fruit toppings are cut throughout the day and include various nuts, candies, mochi and liquid syrups. I had an opportunity to try real MochiBerri for the first time! I had never heard of it before. It's like a marshmallow, only healthier. Everything at MochiBerri is "create your own" and you have opportunity to make your own masterpiece and then they weigh it and this determines the cost. It was very reasonable and they also serve smoothies and coffee. Best of all, Larry and I had opportunity to meet and talk to the owner, Scott, for a long time. He's a great guy who, along with his wife, Neysa, originally created MochiBerri and are currently developing franchises across the country. Larry and I highly recommend MochiBerri for both the taste AND the health benefits. If you live in Tampa or the surrounding area, you simply must stop by and get some!
While we were out at MochiBerri, Savanna was back at the house getting her hair highlighted -- purple! She got a cut and style earlier in the day after school. Then Kate Russell from church came over and highlighted it. I think it turned out B-E-A-utiful! Purple is her favorite color, by the way. Hair is one thing I don't mind my kids experimenting with. It's something that changes all the time. It's not permanent, therefore I think it's a cool thing to experiment with. As some may recall I had a hot pink streak in my own hair a while back. I'd get a lot wilder with mine if it weren't for a certain other person I live with. :) Anyway, I think it looks quite adorable on her.
