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! the reviews are in for the quarter January–March 2008 $351.00 3 { { average sales per workshop, all demonstrators average number of workshops, all demonstrators $428.00 28 { { average sales per workshop, cruise achievers average number of workshops, cruise achievers $422.00 27 { { average sales per workshop, top 50 demonstrators average number of workshops, top 50 demonstrators © 2008 Stampin’ Up!
