A Trip to Waco...and Magnolia

It's been a long time since I had to do much air travel for work.  Most of my weeks are spent in the car driving from store to store and for the most part, that is perfectly fine with me.  There are times, however rare, that I actually miss a little adventure in another place.  Last week I got the chance to spend the week in Waco, Texas, working along with some of my favorite people in the whole world.  

At some point in the week we managed to carve out a few minutes to visit Magnolia Market.  If you watch HGTV at all, you know that Magnolia Market is a little shop owned by Chip and Joanna Gaines, who host the show "Fixer Upper".  I admit, I'm not a huge watcher of HGTV, but one Saturday morning I ran across their show and I was hooked.  So, I was excited to go and check out their store.  It was every bit what you would expect it to be.  The staff was really friendly and the store stocked some of the things you may have seen on the show, people were in and out non stop, every detail seemed attended to.  I was impressed.  But deeper than that, to me, it represented what hard work and believing in yourself and your dreams can accomplish.  As we're going through life day to day, it's easy to lose sight of your dreams and put them on hold, or to start doubting yourself, and it's good to have something remind you from time to time.  It's also important to know that timing is everything and there is an even bigger dream out there than even you can imagine.  Here's a great reminder of that....

Dream your dreams,
