The PF Women Team at our Annual Team Retreat ~ 2018 Today on Seth Godin's blog, he said: It's tempting to decide to make a profit first, then invest in training, people, facilities, promotion, customer service and most of all, doing important work. In general, though, it goes the other way. Yes, it does. If you are waiting to make a profit before you do these things, in my experience you're not going to make a profit.

Slept in today - although the phone did ring at 10 am, I just kept sleeping through it and ignored it. Oh the bliss. I love Fridays for the sleep, first of all.

I would really, really like to go outside but it's so blasted hot you can't be out there more than about 5 minutes. So I guess I'll exercise inside and read my Bible and books in my rocking chair. I think tonight I'm going to light all the candles in my bathroom and fill up the tub,get in and soak while I listen to Duke Ellington.

As some of you friends know, my husband is severely allergic to mushrooms, therefore we don't ever include them in any recipe, so I don't use them in this but left it in for you. :-) Makes 4 servings; 1/4 of
