Losing a Friend to Suicide

Image
I recently learned one of my friends killed himself a week ago. To say I was shocked to learn this is a vast understatement. This was someone who had already achieved a great deal and was  headed towards bigger and better things. He was admired, respected and loved by his peers and those he had authority over. It is inconceivable that this man would take his own life.

Camkix 4in1 Phone Lens Kit with Fisheye and Zoom Review

Image
I ordered the  Camkix 4in1 Phone Lens Kit on Amazon.com  after seeing a clip-on zoom lens for camera phones advertised on Instagram with terrible reviews.  The Camkix 4in1 Phone Lens had better reviews on Amazon, so I decided to give it a try. This is my review of the kit. Positives The customer service I received from Camkix was outstanding after there was a problem with my first order. I received fast, polite, professional service and was completely satisfied with how they resolved the situation. The concept is great. The case is functional, with a place for the lenses to screw in which works well. It appears to be moderately sturdy. It slipped over my iPhone 6S like a glove. The Camkix fisheye lens is of good quality and a lot of fun to use. See photo below. Negatives The telephoto lens is not good It provides only moderately more zoom than the functionality of my iPhone camera does and the quality of the image is poor. See photos below.

May 17 at the Top RF Party in Brentwood

Image
We were treated to a lovely spring party on the deck of a home that overlooks the Brentwood valley.Good food,drinks, weather and friends made it a lovely evening. My friend Donna, a Lexus driver and 6-figure income earner with Rodan + Fields, hosted a lovely spring Cocktails and Conversations at the Top party last night at her beautiful Brentwood home. Donna's deck overlooks much of the Brentwood valley and offers a spectacular view that changes with the lighting. From other direct marketing companies, people have the idea we try to sell them something or sign them up, but that couldn't have been further from the truth last night! We drank wine, ate appetizers, enjoyed beautiful late-spring weather and just socialized and relaxed on the deck. We even had our own comedienne on hand who kept us entertained all night. Thanks Kari Caldwell Reidle! Sure, the topic of skincare came up a couple of times, but there was no presentation. Just a small display guests could w

It was Community Appreciation Weekend, formerly Family Weekend, at the Tennessee Renaissance Festival near Franklin, TN The 32nd annual Tennessee Renaissance Festival kicked off this weekend with what looked to be possibly their biggest crowds yet on Sunday. Cars were already parked across New Castle Road on the Castle grounds around lunch time and no wonder! The weather was sunny and mild, perfect for dressing up in costume.

House Passes Historic Health Care Language that Defunds Planned Parenthood --Christian Activities

Image
Good News for the Not-Yet-Born! By a vote of 217-213 - the thinnest of margins - the House of Representatives voted yesterday to advance a health care provision that would defund Planned Parenthood for one year. Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, Director of the Christian Defense Coalition, stated; "We applaud this historic vote by the House of Representatives as a first step in defunding Planned Parenthood which is the largest abortion provider in the world. Every day, Planned Parenthood takes the lives of almost 900 innocent children and over 320,000 every year. The pro-life community will work passionately to see the Senate votes to defund and that this piece of legislation will end up on the desk of President Trump and be signed into law.."

Stop Posting Chain Messages on Facebook!

Image
I AM NOT A FAN OF CHAIN MESSAGES & POSTS ON FACEBOOK, EMAIL, ETC. There. I said it. I hope I don't come off like I got up on the wrong side of the bed, or worse, like a prima dona, but I am getting WAY too many chain emails on social media that ask me to forward them, or post them as my status, or send them back if I like the person who sent it to me. Even more annoying are the ones that promise a blessing or curse if I do or don't forward them. Chain emails and messages are a nuisance.  They clog Messenger and show "You've got mail" when you really just have spam. One day I opened Facebook's Messenger during a lunch meeting, because I was expecting an important message from a potential customer and saw I had 5 messages. I hurried to open them only to discover they were all chain messages 5 from different people asking me to forward or post on my profile something I wasn't interested in sharing. Forwarded messages are often a hoax. Frequently
