Sue’s Muse

First let me apologize for taking so long to share with folks why this blog has not had an entry since before Thanksgiving. 

I have accepted a position with a wonderful nonprofit organization in Chicago … and have spent the past several weeks, packing, painting and hiding out while our house was being shown to prospective buyers!

I plan on returning to some serious blogging after the first of the year once the snow - and the dust! - has settled.  In the meantime … I wish each of you a wonderful holiday season!

Regards,

Sue

Ever been to an airshow?  Ever watched English comedy?  If either of these things appeals to you, then I offer up a little diversion before the holiday weekend. 

The Brits have a fantastic RAF air display team called the ‘Red Arrows’ … much like our US Navy display team, the ‘Blue Angels’.   Here is a little video forwarded to me by my own RAF aviation enthusiast. 

I hope you enjoy this Monty Python-esque air show display … featuring the Red Sparrows!

Have a great weekend!

Sue

As many of you might have noticed it has been quiet on Sue’s Muse for the past week.  With the best intentions in the world I simply have not been able to make time to post to the blog.

I will be taking a wee break … collect my thoughts about the current status of the fundraising climate … and will return in early April! 

All the best!

Regards,

Sue

As we all continue to struggle with meeting goals, job security, the economy and nervously await whatever this new and highly anticipated era might bring … I have to share with you this small missive one of my clients forwarded to me!

I quote - and it’s not my client’s direct words, I hasten to add:-

CALMNESS IN OUR LIVES

I am passing this on to you because it definitely works, and we could all use a little more calmness in our lives. By following simple advice heard on the Dr. Phil show, you too can find inner peace. Dr Phil proclaimed, ‘The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started and have never finished.’

So, I looked around my house to see all the things I started and hadn’t finished, and before leaving the house this morning, I finished off a bottle of White Zinfandel, a bottle of Bailey’s Irish Cream, a package of Oreos, the remainder of my old Prozac prescription, the rest of the cheesecake, some Doritos, and a box of chocolates. You have no idea how freaking good I feel right now.  Pass this on to those whom you think might be in need of inner peace.

Every one’s attention over the next two days is totally focused on the presidential election … as it should be … tomorrow all Americans will have the opportunity to determine the course our country will take for the next four to eight years. 

The decision will have an impact on every facet of our lives. 

So if you haven’t voted early … I encourage each of you to get out and vote November 4th! 

Regards,

Sue
