Long time no hear. A lot has been going on, and not much at the same time. For the second time in my adult life I went on vacation. Last weekend, I went to Viva Las Vegas. I had a blast. I recommend a vacation for everyone. If you go, I recommend bringing along comfortable walking shoes. I am not a gambler so I was more interested in seeing the sights.
I stayed at Bally’s which turned out to be the perfect location for a first timer. We were pretty much in the center of the strip. We went to all the casinos on the strip, old Vegas. Yes, I did see the Marlboro Man, his girl Wendy and the Golden Nugget. Did you know that the strip is being expanded? And, they are planning to build another airport. It is hot as hell, but an interesting place to go.
Other than walking, I went to the following places:
House of Blues – (Gospel Brunch - I recommend it for everyone. The food is excellent. The entertainment was excellent.
Commander’s Palace – the service is excellent. The food is excellent. The drinks are excellent. Please make reservations if you are going to Vegas. We had such a great time with the staff that we went there for drinks two nights in a row.
Mamma Mia - I wanted to see this show because I like ABBA. I expected it to be an okay. It exceeded my expectations. I had a really good time. It was really entertaining and lots of fun.
The shopping was fantastic everywhere. The strip has a Fashion Show Mall that has everything that you can think of. I also went to the Vegas outlet which is on the opposite end of the strip. There were a lot of great deals to be had there also.
Words to the wise, if someone tries to rope you into going to a timeshare presentation, don’t do it. It isn’t two hours. It is more like five. And, no doesn’t mean no. No, means another opportunity to present another deal.
You know me; I like to pass on good information. I was able to go to Vegas because I got a package deal that I paid for in March. My airfare and hotel was under $500. I don’t know if you are interested in a vacation or not but this something that I heard about that you might be interested in:

Lastly, here are a few tips for boosting your confidence by Barbara De Angelis:
"There's a saying -- 'we either make ourselves miserable or make ourselves strong, but the amount of work is the same,'" says Barbara. "Learning how to use our personal power to boost our confidence rather then undermine it is one of the most important keys to happiness."
Barbara shares these tips for building confidence:
* Evaluate Your Day and Yourself From the Inside Out -- When you base your sense of accomplishment each day on the outer events of your life, which aren't always in your control, your self-esteem will go up and down. Stay grounded and define your success by how much wisdom, courage and clarity you've accumulated on the inside, not the outside.
* Small Improvements Can Make a Big Difference -- Little changes in how you present yourself to others can give you more confidence both professionally and socially. You can do simple things that will instantly boost your sense of self-esteem like whiten your smile with a tooth whitener like Crest Whitestrips.
* Focus on What You Have Accomplished and Not What You Haven't – There will always be tasks you don't complete or goals you haven't yet achieved. Focusing only on what we haven't done sabotages our sense of confidence. At the end of each day, celebrate your "wins" and identify three things you have achieved, whether it was choosing to eat healthy foods, making an important phone call, or comforting a friend in need.
* Dress To Reflect Your Most Confident Self -- When we are feeling insecure, nothing makes us feel worse than putting on the outfit that doesn't fit right, or the clothes that do nothing for us. Don't save your favorite attire for special occasions -- wear what you feel best in when you need a boost, even if you're just staying home!
* Conquer Fear By Taking Just One Step -- Don't get overwhelmed when goals seem out of reach. Take one step at a time and things will seem much more achievable.
By incorporating these simple tips into your daily life, you can become one step closer to emotional empowerment and to a happier, more confident you. Barbara's latest book, How Did I Get Here? in which she discusses how to build confidence by mastering change and challenge in our lives.
