Working with new people on huge projects can be difficult. You don't want to think that someone can make things happen like you and your team...however, sometimes just opening your mind and heart to new people can make a world if difference in you and your perspective.
Today's Challenge: Be open to new relationships and change-let God use you in the life of others and let him change your heart and perspective by using 'others' in your life.

Thursday: Farmer's Market Bank
The summer produce prices often depend on the weather in 'wherever' it's being imported from. One money saving tip and a great way to support your local farmers is to hit your local Farmer's Market. You get top quality, fresh produce, locally grown without the handlers fee.
Today's Challenge: Find a local Farmer's Market and plan a visit. Buy your produce home-grown and save!

SmarterU: Biting Off More than U can Chew!
Readers: I owe you a huge apology...it has been a week since I have posted a challenge and today's SmarterU challenge addresses the issue. In the past 2 weeks-I've traveled to Texas for 5 days, embarqued upon a new career/job, filled a huge volunteer role for my church and tried to maintain some semblance of a home...well-maybe just piles of laundry and toys. To say the least I've over committed and horribly planned!
No exercise in a week, eating chocolate, not getting enough sleep etc. has all contributed to my demise. But the biggest contributor is me. Tomorrow, I'm back on track with challenges! So please forgive my failures and......
Today's Challenge: be selective in your commitments. Don't Bite off more than U can chew. Be a BetterU and learn from my mistake! Be a SmarterU!

Wednesday: SmarterU-History Check
Tomorrow is July 4 if you've been following the challenges. Most of us know why we celebrate Independence Day--do we? How about why our flag is red, white and blue? Or what's in the phrase-"Whistling Dixie?" Why do we shoot off fireworks? So many unique historical events surround this holiday.
Today's Challenge: Plan your July 4 holiday to include a historical quest-understand why fireworks are part of the holiday? Is there a local event that captures some of the tradition for you to experience. Historical recreations are a great way to create teachable moments for kids.
Don't just grill your burgers and dogs-make history by understanding it better.

Tuesday: Heathier U: Wagon Pitfalls
This past week while traveling (which I posted on before and didn't reread) I truly had a wheel fall off my eating wagon.
Starbucks twice.
Big meals.
Not tracking calorie in-take.
Skipped exercising
You name it and I failed-my BetterU wasn't good! The scale proved it with my Monday morning weigh-in. The trick to staying healthy is realizing that you are human and you will mess up. The wheel may fall right off your wagon too--don't try to keep riding it broken-get off and fix it.
Today's Challenge: Don't give up working on healthy eating due to a slip-up...examine your meals and get busy playing catch-up and refocusing. This isn't a short-term fix it's a life-time reward.

Monday: Spiritual Challenge--WHOM SHALL I FEAR?
There is a very good Christian song out by Chris Tomlin that states
"Whom shall I fear...."
"I know who goes before me.."
"I know who stands behind..."
"The GOD of Angle Armies is always by my side."
Psalms 27:1 says: "The LORD is my light and my salvation--whom shall I fear."
Living a totally surrendered life allows us to live without fear. GOD is going before us clearing a path--standing behind us catching us as we may slip and has an army at our call.
Today's Challenge: Live life without fear! Listen to the Chris Tomlin song and process the fact that HE is always by your side.

Sunday: Embrace the Moments
Whenever a new child is born is never ceases to amaze me how very tiny they are...I truly believe that holding a new born infant is about as close to GOD as we can get on this Earth. There is no way within our own capabilities that we could design or make something so perfect.
As adults, we loose sight of those tiny fingers and tiny toes-even if it's not our kids or we never plan to have any....you still stand amazed if you are truly honest with yourself.
Today's Challenge: Embrace the moments that will never be replaced with your family. Births, Prom, Graduations, First Break-Ups, etc. Realize that there are experiences that only come along once in a lifetime and can never be duplicated! Embrace them!
