Four Favorite Things I Love Right Now! Part 12

This week is pretty full with lots of events and the Community Partners of Dallas board meeting is next week (meaning I have to get out the board packet email today -- ugh), so this seemed like the perfect week for another post of my Four Favs.  In case you missed it, you can see the most recent one here:  http://blog.paigemcdaniel.org/2013/08/four-favorite-things-i-love-right-now.html

This week's favs (in no particular order) are:

1. My new door mat -- I seem to go through door mats quite often (And yes, I can think of lots of door mat humor to go along with why mine wear out so often, but that is for another day when we're out to dinner with drinks...).  I picked this up at The Sample House last weekend and while it is more plain than I usually buy, it was $6.95.  Come on down -- the price is right!
   
2. Is there any better service than Jack Boles Valet?  I am always pleased when I drive up to an event or a business and I see that Jack Boles is handling the parking.  Of course, I love seeing Gary or James or Cathy as I pull up to park, but all of their staff members do a great job and are always friendly.
3. You haven't lived until you've tried Brown Cow Cream Top Yogurt.  They sell it at Whole Foods and it is delicious.  I've been eating the Greek Style lately, but it's all good -- just be sure to get the cream top kind.  Maple is my favorite flavor -- yum.  Pay no attention to the cookie in the otherwise healthy picture, please.
   
   
4. I am a relatively new subscriber to The New York Times Sunday home delivery and I love it.  I must admit that it does sometimes take me almost a week to read it, but I really enjoy it.  Love the Broadway news and the magazine, but really it's all good.  And yes, it does make me feel smarter -- even if it's not actually making that happen.  I like to appear smart, people.  Is it working?

8 Words That Could Change Your Life

This morning I've been thinking about words.

I love words.

I must admit that I am feeling super-smart because I am a new subscriber to The New York Times Sunday paper, so I spent about 3 hours off and on reading it yesterday...

Anyway, I watched a show on Showtime over the weekend called Richard Pryor:  Omit the Logic.  Worth watching if you have the chance.  But it is the phrase Omit the Logic that I keep thinking about.

Is it possible to omit the logic and would it be smart?

For me, I think I could use some omitting of logic.  I tend to think a lot about things in order to make the best decision, especially about Community Partners of Dallas.  How many backpacks to order for the back-to-school drive, what is the plan for the 25th anniversary in 2014, how can we get more caseworkers to read our newsletter, etc. 

To me, omitting the logic means to look at something in a different way, turn it upside down.

And this brought me back to my my favorite question and the 8 words that could change your life (courtesy of my friend Marilyn Stidham):

What would you do if you weren't afraid?

Let's omit the logic and be fearless on this beautiful Monday!
