We are always inspired by a good quote. What inspires you?

“This life is what you make it. No matter what, you’re going to mess up sometimes, it’s a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you’re going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends – they’ll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything – they’re your true best friends. Don’t let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they’ll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them – actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can’t give up because if you give up, you’ll never find your soulmate. You’ll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn’t mean you’re gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don’t, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life’s a beautiful thing and there’s so much to smile about.”

Spring has sprung and what better time to start planning your breaks.  You’ve earned it. So, go have a bit of fun, let your hair down, and get a little wild. The question is where to venture to this year? Well, Forbes has us all covered with their 2013 Travel Guide Star Awards (http://www.startle.com/forbes-travel-guide-star-award-winners/2013-star-award-winners), and this year they gave out more awards than ever before! The list gives you top hotels, spas, and for the foodies the top restaurants. The hardest decision will be what destination first. I say go with Hong Kong the city with the most 5 star hotels and work your way around the world. With such a large list there are plenty of destinations and you don’t have to stop at just Spring Break. Take a break every season this year.

Teacher of the year

One of the biggest contributions I will ever make to the event industry is to be a professor! I have the great fortune of teaching at the University of San Diego’s Event Management Certificate Program (www.sandiego.edu/emp) and at San Diego Mesa College.  I thrive when I can engage and inspire future event professionals. I was very honored when the students selected me as USD Instructor of the Year for 2012. Wow!! Given the quality of my colleagues teaching in the program, this is a very exciting privilege!

Interested in a career in the event industry? Check out the USD & Mesa College programs! It’s one of the best investments you will ever make in your career!

There is nothing I like more in life than a vacation – especially when a passport is involved – but I’m not always great about disconnecting. I admit, I love all of my Apple products and they always accompany me on every trip. I like to stay connected to the outside world even when I am soaking up the sun in the tropics. What vacation does allow me is the opportunity to stay connected on my own time; not at the demands required back home. If you are like me and you can’t quite break the tether to technology, check out the 8 Ways to Stay Connected While on Vacation as presented by Conde Nast Travler.

When you vacation, do you stay connected or get lost completely?

No more sad eyes from your four legged friend when you walk out the door on Friday to go to work because June 22nd is Take Your Dog To Work Day!

That’s right! Fiddo, Champ and Princess are office bound!

Our friends at Pet Sitters International have celebrated Take Your Dog to Work Day since 1999 as a way to honor the great companions dogs make and to encourage their adoption from humane societies, animal shelters and breed rescue clubs. This annual event asks pet lovers to celebrate the humane-canine bond and promote pet adoption by encouraging their employers to support TYDTWDay. Employers are encouraged to open their workplace to employees’ four-legged friends on this one special day.

Check out the great website Pet Sitters International has created in honor of the special event!   Take Your Dog To Work Day * Home.

Send us a photo of your pet at work on Friday! We would love to see what happens when pets rule the office!

Woof!

Ever thought of going on a cruise in Alaska? This is a great time to book it. I just heard from my contact at Holland America and they are having some great deals right now on their 7 and 14 day cruises. Packages start at $549.

My parents and I cruised Alaska last summer and it was in a word, spectacular! It was by far the most breathtaking scenery we’ve ever seen. I highly recommend Alaska for your next recess.
