Get your squeak on….

That – if you didn’t know – is the subtitle for the new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie….it’s also the sound my 3 lb Maltese makes throughout the night ferociously guarding the house! Actually, it’s more like a chicken squawk – but don’t tell Scout I said that – he’ll get a complex!

Anyway, two other guys got their squeak on last night – David and David! I haven’t been a big American Idol fan until this season.  It’s been so interesting watching the dynamics of the press, my friends, my daughters friends, my employees….I think people are more passionate about their opinions on Idol than they are the election!!  My big take away from last night was a reminder that things in life can change on a dime.  You’ve got to be open to whereever life takes you – whether you are launched from being a bartender to an American Idol or a business owner who is suddenly facing a challenging economy and a different set of rules about how to do business….

Charles Darwin said “It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change. “  From my experiences, change is what it’s all about.  Life was not meant to be stagnant or easy – it was meant to be challenging and full of experiences to learn from.  The paths you choose make you the person you are – so grab change with a feeling of zest and excitement! Fear of change will paralyze you while welcoming change will allow you to evolve and keep life interesting!

Carpe Diem! : )
