Who Sez Truckers Don’t Have Class?

Donna — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 01:18:30 +0000

Today my dear hubs called home to check in and share a short story…

He works for ABF Freight and is what’s called a “City Driver” meaning he makes local deliveries and pick-ups. On one of his regular stops a woman was apparently having a bad day. Upon his arrival, she stated:

“Why the H3LL do all you G-D truckers make your F-ing deliveries on Thursday?”

To which he replied:

“…because we know that’s when you’re at your best and most efficient!”

Silence.

And then a grin.

Now, she LOVES my husband and is looking forward to seeing him next Thursday. LOL! Sometimes saying something nice can shock any ‘ole grouch into being your buddy.

Expect More? Extreme Makeover: Home Edition does

The Extreme Makeover: Home Edition team has to accomplish in days what usually takes months. So it is no wonder they rely on ABF for freight transportation and logistical support. When people expect more, they call ABF.

Web Coach Tip: Did You Know? Right Here – Right NOW! Video

((((WOW))))

I’ve reached “nerd-vanna!” Absolutely fascinating. Take 5 minutes to watch this video.

My friend Mark Pierce asked, “How would you answer the question, “So what does it all mean?”

I think the most exciting aspect for me are the opportunities… if you don’t shy away from progression.

On the flip side, we do need to be selective about all the info we take in. Filter out the junk, and focus on the important.

And, yet, another angle. What is your definition of success?

Having a high IQ? Then perhaps you should move to India and study with the geniuses.
Making a lot of money? then study entrepreneurship under the Forbes 100 richest people, and model them.
Having a technology degree? Better get some hands on experience in your chosen field – otherwise you might become obsolete. Being self-taught is a good thing!

I guess it all means…

we must be flexible, and accept change.
we must be faithful, and trust God.
we must not be afraid, change and the unknown are certain.
we must reach out, and care for one another.
we must do what no machine can: encourage and coach one another.

These are just a few points… there are dozens, if not hundreds others!

I love dreaming of possibilities – I hope you enjoyed this video!

Be EMPOWERED and Share the love! dp

Relationships and THRIVING!

Donna — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 21:19:37 +0000

Today, I am overwhelmingly grateful.

Grateful for all of the relationships in my life. My clients (who rock!) and allow me to buy groceries. My fellow web geeks, neighbors, family, classmates, colleagues, mentors and Facebook/Twitter friends.

Relationships allow us to THRIVE! (I just love that word – THRIVE!)

Today’s world is different that it was even one year ago. We MUST connect, mesh, be open and give. Help our neighbors, watch out for one another because, we were never meant to walk this road thru life alone.

I believe… we all have a unique gift to offer in this lifetime, which will bring us MORE joy, if we share it with others.

I believe… we can solve any problem we encounter, TOGETHER.

I believe… we are capable of far more success than we ever thought, by working TOGETHER.

I believe… don’t you?

Abundant blessings,

Donna XOXO
