DC Trumps most other cities

I love DC and I love Washington. They are different you know? If you work in government, then you consider yourself to work in Washington. If you do anything else here or you are a tourist, it's called DC!

I came to DC for the first time at 18 years old on my senior trip and I have loved it ever since. I'm always excited when flying into Ronald Reagan airport which is in the heart of the city. I love that about the RR airport! I am sitting in the sky club now and I am looking a the Capitol in the distance. It's just beautiful. I love all of the landmarks here. I think the Washington Monument is my favorite.

This time I stayed in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. It's Five Star. Turn down service with slippers placed by your bed at night. It's truly a great experience. The bar, the food, the rooms are all perfection.

Next Stop was the Trump Hotel! Now that was a treat for sure. We just stopped by for coffee and of course to question the staff :) It's truly beautiful, I think next trip I would stay here for sure. The staff said great things about Trump!

Things aren't inexpensive in DC but It's fairly easy to walk to all the Tourist sites! I think Fall and Springs are great times to go weather wise but .... less kiddos on school trips on the winter months that's for sure! Too many great places to eat to mention... I usually use YELP or TripAdvisor and that helps me decide where to eat and what to have to eat~ Just a little tip for novice travelers. Next Stop Franklin TN~

Well It's 2 days after my 50th and I guess it's sinking in... I AM 50!!!! I decided today that the word for my 50th year would be gratitude. I do my best thinking when I write so I decided to get up this morning and write. I should write more because when I read it back I am in awe of what I said and how I said it. It moves me. Yes, my own words move me. When I read back what I write... I am pretty darn shocked as what came out of me. I think everyone should try it. My life's word is BELIEVE. I love that word, I think it's a key to everything in life. My belief in myself and my gifts have gotten me this far... How far is that you ask? Well, from a poor small town girl in rural South Ga to a business professional who has had opportunities that most only ever dream of. So back to Gratitude. I think Gratitude and living as, Tony Robbins calls it, in a state of beauty based on Gratitude and appreciation will take me the distance for the next 40 years. What is the dist

Christmas in New York City

For years now I have been going to New York City a few weeks before Christmas to enjoy an early Christmas. It's become a tradition I enjoy very much. I invite friends that have never been or haven't been to NYC during Christmas. Each year, I plan several new things to do with no pressure on myself or my traveling partners. It's a relaxing time even in the hustle and bustle of the Big APPLE. This year was no exception. I got to connect with a friend I hadn't seen in a long time as well as spend time with one of my best friends who lives in another state. There were a couple of highlights of the trip one was the Louis Vuitton exhibit downtown. I started collecting LV over the past few years and I thought it would be cool to attend the exhibit and learn about the history of Louis Vuitton. It was a free exhibit and did not disappoint! My good friend Allyson who fell in love with LV at this exhibit! The LV gowns worn by stars were quite amazing. For those

I guess the one thing I get asked more than anything is. "How were you able to leave a nursing career making 70 k a year and consistently make over 150 k a year and enjoy traveling and fine dining on someone else's money?" I am going to tell you exactly how I did it! I knew what I wanted and took little steps everyday! 1. Mindset! The first step is conquering your MIND! Deciding what you want and being open to the way it unfolds but knowing that it will unfold! I knew when I was walking the halls of the hospital that there was more for me. Being a bedside nurse is wonderful and fulfilling and I have made life long friends because of my time working in hospitals. However, I knew that it wasn't something that I would do forever. I always wanted to fly and travel and work as an executive! ALWAYS! From the time I was in high school, I wanted more out of life than an eight to faint job! Personal development is the key to getting what you want. Read good
