Have you ever thought, what is important to me now? A great friend and mentor uses the acronym W.I.N. Whats Important Now. Many things rush to my brain. If I were to ask you as my friend " what's important to you now" what would you say? My W.I.N. is making a difference in peoples lives. I need to know that the decisions I make have a positive influence on the people I care about. That's a broad statement but I truly want to be a servant leader. So, I'll ask again, What's important to you Now? Then I have to ask myself, " what am I doing to be the person I aspire to be"? It then becomes a process of becoming intentional with my thoughts and actions. I truly want to hear your answers to this thought provoking question. It may seem too simple or corny but, whatever you put into something is what you get out of it. Have a great weekend!

As we head into the end of 2021 I would like to thank all of our fabulous customers. Thank you for being hard working businesses that help people who have experienced a disruption in their lives, who have gone through an accident that could have been just a bump into or from another vehicle. Or they could have been involved in an accident that may not have only damaged their vehicle but they may have experienced personal injury. Some people may think of the collision repair industry in an unfavorable way but I believe we are extremely important in putting people's lives back together as well as their vehicles. This is the only industry I have ever been in and I am extremely proud to be part of it. With that being said, I hope and pray that during this Thanksgiving weekend that everyone has the opportunity to spend time with their families and to be thankful for something in their lives. Happy Thanksgiving and please be safe and healthy this holiday season!

It's been awhile since my last post. These times have been challenging to say the least. I hope everyone is finding a positive way to cope during these times. I'm going to share something positive today and I hope that I can hear short story's from you all about positive things going on in your lives. I'm not ignoring the hard and challenging things, I just want to dedicate some time to hear that there's also positive things going on also. Before Covid-19 I felt like I was so busy and consumed that I actually prayed that my life would slow down just a bit. I wanted to be able to enjoy time with my family. Some would say "be careful what you ask for" I'm not sure if I've used my entire time for the best, but one thing is for sure. I've been with my family a heck of a lot more than I expect I would have been in the past. I hope to hear from you all. Say safe and stay strong!

Make a difference today!
Remember that you are in control of your choices. We can't control other people, but we can influence them.
