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.

The tables were absolutely exquisite, and were hosted by our Celebration ladies. Each hostess brought her own china and teapot and everything that goes with doing a fancy table for tea ~ centerpieces, etc. We dined on homemade cranberry orange scones made by Gayle Lechner, with devonshire cream made by Sheri Powell to accompany them. The cucumber sandwiches were made by Bonnie Stewart, egg salad sandwiches by Candy Rivera and chicken salad sandwiches made by yours truly. (An assorted array of scrumptious desserts topped it off ~ various kinds of cheesecake, cream puffs, chocolate eclairs and gourmet brownies.) All of this was served up with plenty of English Breakfast tea. Our Celebration Men did an amazing job of serving the ladies at this event, from start to finish. I appreciate every single person who helped set up, serve, clean up, or whatever. We couldn't have done it without a great team. Big thanks to everyone who helped in any way to make this day stellar!!

I will be posting photos over the weekend on my facebook. If you are not my friend on facebook but you are a regular reader to the blog please feel free to friend request me so you can see all of the photos that I have that aren't here on the blog.
Tomorrow morning I'm preaching on the subject: "A-May-Zing Women of the Spirit!" I'm so excited. It's going to be a great Mother's Day. I know God has something special in store.
