Lessons learned and taken to heart....

We all have those moments when we realize that a particular lesson that we have learned came from a specific source. For some of us, we come upon this realization at that exact moment it is learned, for other's it may dawn on us years down the road. For me, the lesson I thought of today was that creativity comes in many different forms and that we need to find the creativeness that is in each of us. I learned this from my mother, Sherry Walker, and I felt it only appropriate that I share that on Mother's Day! I will never forget the day that she began to teach me to cook and shared her passion. She has this amazing, inate ability to combine the least likely of ingredients and create a truly wonderful dish. She taught me to take risks and go with my heart. Just because some may look in the cupboard and see a few nonessential ingredients, others have the creativity it takes to create a meal for an entire family ... and leave them asking for more.


This is no different than any marketing campaign. We must look for ways to balance our marketing components and create that ideal meal that will have our target audience asking for more. It's amazing what I can do with, what most would consider, a meger budget. But then, I learned from a true chef how to combine ingredients for the perfect end result.


Thank you mom for all that you have given me. As you can see, you are an everlasting influence in my life.


HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY
