CELEBRATING YOUR STAMPIN' UP! ACCOMPLISHMENTS FROM ...

viewfrombackstage
every evening when I brush my teeth, I pick up my toothbrush
and notice two different-colored ribbons (one Bashful Blue, the other
Pretty in Pink) tied to the handle. I chose these two colors because
they clash with the color of my toothbrush, and because I pay such
close attention to colors, they catch my attention every single evening.
You may be wondering why in the world I’d want to interrupt my
tooth-brushing routine with a moment of color disharmony. Well, the
ribbons are subtle reminders of two goals I’ve made and am working
toward achieving. I’m a spiritual person and have prayed and read my
scriptures almost daily for much of my life. However, recently I’ve
been less than vigilant about these two personal priorities, and so
I wanted to rededicate myself. The Pretty in Pink ribbon represents
prayer; the Bashful Blue ribbon reminds me of the Bible and other
scriptures. And if I haven’t prayed or read the scriptures yet that
day, the ribbons move me to action!
I hope I haven’t offended anyone by sharing these personal goals;
I am certainly sensitive to the fact that we all have different beliefs.
However, goals are an important part of improving ourselves, which
is a recurring theme throughout this issue of On Stage. Several of
our Stampin’ Up!® principles tie into this topic, including personal
development, change, and efficiency. Goals help us accomplish all
of these and help us become better in various aspects of our lives.
As I thought about the goals I’m currently working on, the ones that
came to mind first were the more personal ones. Of course, I’d love
to clean out my office and get my stamp room organized, but those
are pretty much always on my to-do list! I’m also consistently working
on goals related to Stampin’ Up!, but those are ones we are working
on more as a team at the home office. For this message, I wanted to
share goals of a more personal nature.
Throughout this issue, you’ll read about many demonstrators who
share their own goals. As we learn about others’ goals—and especially
how they’ve achieved those goals—we are often inspired. That’s one of
the most valuable things we can gain from our relationships with each
other—sharing ideas that help us each grow and improve.
I have grown so much from my association with you; you have such a
tremendous impact on me! Thank you for taking the time to share
with me—and with all of us—your goals, dreams, successes, and even
failures, not just in our publications, but at events and other forums
that encourage personal interaction. Together, we can become better
people and work toward our common goal of making a difference in
the lives of those around us!
