My Little Inspiration

January 5th, 2014

Happy New Year everyone! I know it's been quite some time since I have written. Call it writers block or simply call it the holidays. I'll call it both.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Years. Looking forward to this year and plan on making it the greatest one thus far. Hoping to work on many opportunities that come my way, making the best out of each and every one of them.

I do have so much to write about in our community and all the happenings of Collier County, but today, I would rather start off my first post of the year with my little inspiration.

Over the past couple of months, I met a man by the name of David Horsewood. Owner of Fire by Light, LLC., out of Knoxville,Tennessee. I have not physically met him, but have linked with him on the business site called LinkedIn. I find myself going to his profile more than I should, but continually find his words so inspiring. David and I have since gotten in touch with one another as I have thanked him for all of his words of wisdom that keep me going each day. Sometimes I wonder if he thinks I am stalking him. But of course I'm not. He understands I enjoy his words and I love his big heart.

David is a busy man I must say. I swear he must read every article known to man, always commenting on them, always speaking the truth. And that's what David does with his business too. He focuses on training and coaching sessions throughout the United States. Working on communication, conflict resolution, leadership, time management, and public speaking. David does a little bit of everything that can give back a whole lot! A very gratifying job I'm sure.

So last night I popped in for some inspiring words from David and the first post that came up was called, "Smile, you're designed to."

So I go on to read David's comments from that simple post, and David quotes, "Some people bring the smile out of me. I have no intention of smiling; it's the furthest thing from my mind. I could tell them; "You make me smile," and with some I do. Most of the time I don't. Here's a little secret that everybody knows; many of our smiles are internal. Nobody else sees them. Nobody knows. We couldn't describe why we feel so good even if we wanted to. We've tried. The words we know don't suffice. Poetry might do it, perhaps a sunrise...the sounds of nature coming alive. We stay silent because talking would just mess it up. Still, every now and then, certainly more often, tell them. They might like to know."

Quite inspiring to me, maybe too deep for all of you. But either way, I just wanted to write a little about David today and thank him. And David, if you do read this? Really, I'm not stalking you, just can't get enough of your wonderful words of wisdom. ;)

So smile everyone! It's 2014!

Fire and Fury-AI to AI

Image
    I recently have been shown a book that has been published and already on the market for sale. This book is called Fire and Fury; The story of the 2023 Maui Fire and it's Implications for the climate change by Dr. Miles Stones.   First of all, we are still to this day, August 20th, not only trying to find out the details of why this occurred, but still searching for loved ones that more than likely perished in the fire. It's all a horrific tragedy. Then out of the blue comes this daunting book published and on the market just two days after the fire had begun. With event's as it reads: It's narrative follows the sequence of events spanning from the 8th to the 11th of August, 2023, during which the conflagration ravaged Maui, forever imprinting upon the memories of those who experienced it and those who fought valiantly to contain it. Something is seriously wrong here with this picture.  How can a book be published on the date of August 10th, yet be written in the tim

Turkey Turds and Rainwater

November 16th, 2011 Looks as though the Kniolas are preparing for a holiday Thanksgiving, filled with plenty of turkey turds and rainwater! Yes, it's true, we now own two adorable, yet really ugly turkeys. I specifically rounded them up for my husbands birthday since it was coming up soon. I figured since they were only three months old, they would be small enough to hide until his actually birthday. Well, I was wrong! When I arrived to pick them up with my two youngest, I just about fell over dead. They already stood two feet tall! My mind swirled around in shock over their sizes as I wondered how was I going to fit them in this little box filled with hay? How was I going to drive them in my van if they flew around crashing into windows? I knew I was in for an interesting ride home. The boys helped me pick out just the right two as a flock of 12 to 14 other adult turkeys gobble, gobble, and gobbled some more as they followed their owners every move.

Humble Beginnings

Image
Raising four boys in this lifetime has not come easy. Now that I'm down to my last son in the home, I find myself trying harder than I ever, as to humble one's thoughts. His thoughts. Our young generation is struggling. Trying to keep up in today's world is just too much for these fragile young minds to handle. Heck, I'm 53 and I find it a struggle myself. Life is a different ball game in these trying years, but most important, we should tackle them hands on, the best we can.   What is humbling beginnings to me?  Well, if you look into our younger generation now, it's obvious it's all about them. They have no filters, they find themselves so caught up in one's self, they tend to lose value as to who they really are and to those who surround them. (If that makes any sense). I am here to humble those who get a little ahead of themselves, and I find I am doing that more and more with my youngest, Matthew.  Even his brothers are doing the best they can to guide
