Christmas at Disney!...:-)

I can't think of any better way to bring in the Christmas Season with out coming to Disney Land- "Happiest Place on Earth".


Wow... this year was the first year the line for "It's a Small world After All" was the longest I've ever experienced. In the past, we always went there first.

Although the line was really long, it didn't bother us at all. Seeing the beautiful tower lighten up with beautiful twinkling dazzling colored lights along with the listening to the nice soothing Christmas music made it worth the wait. Every ones spirit of joy was in the air. We had two strangers offer to take family pictures...that was so sweet!

"It's a small world after All".... is still one my favorite rides. My little girl loves it just as much as I do.

Now that my little boy and girl are big enough, we always have to go to AutoTopia and take a car ride. They love receiving the little drivers license and playing with them at home. My little girl kept pushing my foot as she tried to push on the gas pedal so the car could pick up speed. So much excitement.... I had to take a picture of her in action!

After spending most of our time at Disney we always like to end our day visiting the California Theme Park. The drive to Hollywood at Disney is much better here than visiting the real thing! (Don't tell anyone I said so....LoL)

Since so many people know my business... for Heaven Sent Jewelry ( www.heavensentjewelry.com ) - Swarovski Crystal... (Bling, Bling, and some more Bling) I really got a kick of the fire hydrant...it had many, many crystals.

I love all the Christmas decor reflecting Southern CA. I remember when I visited OC during the holiday's, I couldn't get over how beautiful the weather was in comparison to other areas in the nations. Where else would you see a big sand castle with Christmas ornaments.

Here's a picture from the safari boat ride. I can't believe after so many years of visiting Disneyland , we finally went on a ride we had never been before... Crocodile Dundee. It was so much fun!

We hope you have a wonderful and safe Christmas this year! Don't forget to check out our website and calendar for your Christmas treasures.

National Hispanic Business Women's Association (NHBWA) Presentation

I had the opportunity of sharing my entrepreneurial experience with the National Latina Business Women's group.

The topic was Secrets of Successful Women. It was an honor to share my story along with Founder/CEO of Lulu's Dessert Maria Lordes Sobrino. http://www.lulusdessert.com/ Her business has been around for 24 years and she is recognized as one of the fastest growing business!... Maria is an inspiration to many women...she has received numerous awards and media coverage for all her accomplishments.

NHBWA was one of the first groups I joined when I started my business. After being in business for about 6 or 8 weeks I was interviewed by Excelsior Newspaper... about 4 times that year!.. Being involved in critical for any business owner.

Sharing my experience with the group was awesome. Many of the members remember me when I had just started my business and they have experienced my growth. Many of them made comments..." I remember you when..."

My presentation focused on how I used technology to grow my business and how it opened many doors on a local, state, national and international level. Being innovative, creative and bold are so important and thinking out of the box. I showed the group my own commercial I created on You Tube. http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=InspiringAddy

Pictured here is my awesome talented friend Lilian Jimenez. Lilian is one extremely talented lady!... She is the Publisher of Bodas La Revista USA... a new wedding magazine targeting the Latino market on a national basis. You will hear a lot about her in my future blogs.

The adorable little high heels pictured above are card holders. They are one of my best sellers...this is a new style that was added. Great Christmas gift for that special client.

Sabia International Presentation

Last year, I had the opportunity of attending my first international women's conference in Spanish. This year I joined SABIA as a guest speaker. My topic was a dual role (as a Business Expert with (IWE) Institute for Women Entrepreneurs and as a business owner of Heaven Sent Jewelry (http://www.heavensentjewelry.com/ ).

I once again talked about technology and demonstrated my You Tube video. The audience was inspired by with many claps and cheers. That was extremely rewarding to ignite the entrepreneurial spirit. In addition, I also touched upon other important aspects of running your business and why a business plan is so critical.

The picture to the right is Kirk Whisler, Executive Editor of Latino Print Network and author Dr. Cesar . Kirk offered some incredible data about the Latino market. A key component in growing your business is knowing the trends and how you can capitalize on opportunities.

Oh my gosh!....what a blast...it was taking this picture with Sallie Salinas, Director of IWE and Pilar Jacob's a fellow consultant. It reminded me of taking pictures in high school when you just can't take a serious picture because everyone is laughing....we finally did it.

We invite you to come visit the Institute for Women Entrepreneurs in Santa Ana, CA. If you live any where else, technology will allow us to assist you with your business needs at no cost consulting. http://www.ociwe.org/
