I found this in the back of our coat closet. It is a collage of magazine images and words (heavy on words – this is Anita we are talking about) that Anita made around January 2007. The directions were to cerate a college filled with images and phrases of things that are important to you and how you want your life to be. It was sort of envisioning her best life so that she could then go after it. This was right after she had quit her firm job and was within a couple of months of opening her own firm – while working from home.
Here is a list of the phrases and words on the collage:
Home is a State of Mind
Mr Moms
“My Mom Dad
Even though you may not be a mom you are like a mom dad to me. You everything a mom would like; you cook for us, you even know how to do hair. You are very special in many ways one is that you are raising Jimmy and me up in the church. That’s very important. You even take time out to do stuff with us like help me with softball. Many fathers wouldn’t even be a mom dad like you that also makes you very special. I might not say it all the time but I really appreciate what you do for me and Jimmy. That’s why I love you very much.”

The Future doesn’t play favorites
It has no winners or losers.
It has no trends, business channels or emerging markets.
Because the future hasn’t happened yet.
It is a blank sheet. A clean slate. Uncharted.

Brian and I had some of our best times together getting our restaurant up and running. It was hard work, but just watching so many people have such a good time made it all worthwhile.
I have always
made my own way,
Good Choices,
bad choices,
My choices;
First of my girls
to buy a business suit,
first in my family
to finish college,
first to move
to the big city,
first one to find
my way back,
first to know
my limitations,
Last to let them
hold me back
My choices,
My firsts, My life.
“My priorities were out of order,” he said candidly. “My priorities should have always been God, family, community, then business.” Instead, he says, they became, “business, business, business.”

I don’t know whether it’s menopause or just age, but you certainly know things aren’t as diabolical as you think when you’re young. You learn your own rules, what’s right for you. And what will make you happy or unhappy with yourself. – Lauren Hutton, model and actress
