"To make each girl a CEO"

-
Call it my Throwback Thursday (#tbt) as I my goal is to attack that stack on my nightstand of things to read, the March 2016 copy of Glamour Magazine has fellow divorcee, Gwyneth Paltrow, on the cover. An Oscar-winning actress, singer and now beauty mogul is the owner of Goop.com. I honestly have never visited their website but I am now following it on Twitter because of her quote:

Gwyneth Paltrow & Partner's objective "to make ea one of these girls (on their staff) a CEO."



YESS!!! I usually like to give the small companies a chance but this is inspiring. As stated in other blog posts, I am realizing that I am a mentor. People, mainly my staff, are watching me. My former Office Manager made me cry when she expressed how I how motivate her before she made her departure. I don't want to disappoint. And like Gwyneth, I do want to see all of my staff do amazing things with their lives. Maybe being a CEO isn't what they want and that is OK. I do want them to be the CEO of their lives though and choose to be happy.



I had a lovely evening with my new Office Manager, a 22-year-old, bright, young lady and fellow San Francisco State University. Though there's a big age gap, we are finding that we have many similarities. Perhaps both being Pinay, perhaps going through the same struggles together at a one-year-old company. I am looking forward to us learning from each other, and seeing what this experience leads her to.

It's Gonna Be May

I'm sure you've seen it. If you have a friend named May, the *Nsync memes are overtaking your Facebook and Instagram feed, right? Tomorrow ends the month of April and I was 10 posts behind the daily blog post challenge. For this Monday Motivation post, I will keep going until I reach that 30 count. Better late than never! May is turning out to be a busy month. Not surprising for this One Busy Bee. I finally have a set schedule for my part time job as a Concierge at the Argonaut Hotel at Fisherman's Wharf. I really do like the job, what I'm doing, the hotel and staff, and how the time spent here contributes to my experience in the travel and tourism industry, all the while continuing in the hospitality industry as well. Working only about 30 hours a week, it will finally allow me to schedule workouts, get in some sort of sleeping pattern and work on my business as a Travel Agent . There is so much to do! So far since I received the month's work schedule

The Bad Girls Club & Love Games, Sarah Michaels, IS the Wellness Shot!

I became a fan of the Bad Girls Club when a Season 3 marathon was airing (in 2008, is it?) and I just had the television on while I was doing chores around the house. Every now and then I’d hear “*BEEP* you, you *BEEP*ing *BEEP*!”, some screaming and “This is the Amber Show” do-do-do-do-do-Doo! Eventually I was glued to the screen and not doing chores anymore and spent most of the day laughing and thinking “ohnoshedidn’t!” They were NUTS! I don’t think I could live my life with a camera following me around and for the whole world to see and criticize. But I kept on watching and when fights broke out, my boyfriend would hear the screaming from another room and ask “WHAT are you watching?!?” I am not one for reality television. MTV had it with The Real World with Pedro, Puck, Pam and whoever… when it was in San Francisco. (GO GIANTS!) With all these Big Brother, The Bachelorette and other shows popping up, there were just too many to pick and choose from to watch. And I was never a
