I seen this story on the news today and it just blew me away.
The story explains how Seven-year-old Isabelle Redford takes her art and raises money to build orphanages in other countries. The first one was built in Haiti and works are already in place for the second. You can read the full story here.
This little gal is a perfect example that where there’s a will there’s a way. Isabelle took something she was good at and turned it into not only profits, but hope! She made an impact in her life and hundreds of others. I hope that others see this story and pass it on, not just for the fact the good deeds she is doing needs recognized, (and she should be recognized) but for the fact that if a 7-year old can take her passion and raise over $10,000.
Maybe, just maybe somebody that is having trouble making ends meet or just has given up hope, will see this and realize one small idea, one small action can make a world of difference and make a life changing impact.
All the best and much success in everything you do!

According to wikipedia – “In the United States, Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain.”
Independence day to me means that as well as financial freedom, Independence from corporate America, to have my own business, set my own hours work, my own pace, and create my own products.
Hopefully you too are doing what ever it is you love to do!
Not everyone chooses to be an entrepreneur and that is totally fine, but I feel that it IS important to love what you do and love the life you live. If not take the actions to make it happen. It does not always happen over night. It took me several years before I was ready for that big leap of giving it a go in my own business. Sometimes you need to determine what it is you want to do and learn about how to do it.
I hope you have a great Independence Day take a moment to give thanks for the freedoms we do have and be thankful for the men and women that have and are putting their lives on the line to make sure we still have that freedom today!
All the best and much success in everything you do!

Ok in this case that’s a good thing!
In case you haven’t heard this weekend I became a Grandpa and I’m really excited.
This is a whole new chapter to our lives and we are so looking forward to it. Still not really sure what I’ll be called, Grandpa; Gramps; GrandDad.
Just to let you know my oldest Daughter Kellianne and her Husband Kyle gave birth to a BEAUTIFUL son this weekend Logan Alexander 8lbs 7oz 22 inches long.
Now i’m thinking about life and things I’m supposed to do as a grandpa, and kinda looking back at life to this point and reflecting a little and trying to make sure I do my part as a Grand Dad at set a good example for this little guy.
So without getting to sentimental or mush I’d like to say one thing (maybe two LOL)…
As an adult we must be positive examples for those who may be watching and modeling themselves based on what we do!
One of my most favorite quotes is by Benjamin Franklin “A mistake is truly a mistake if you learn nothing from it!”
In looking back I’ve tried to take that quote to heart. Look at what mistake I’d made, think about what I should have done and move forward. You gain nothing by dwelling on what you can’t change, but you gain everything by turning a negative into a positive.
I’ll be posting updates to my blog ThatOneGrandpa.com just in case you want to take a peak!
I’m still trying to figure out what my role as a GrandDad should be so I can be, I’d love to hear your comments on this as well as what your favorite “grandpa name is!”
All the best and much success in everything you do!
