MARIETTE'S BACK TO BASICS

Here I would love to share with you our travels and adventures as international consultants. About living in Italy, the Veneto area near Venice; in Indonesia, central Java. Why we love the southeast of the United States and moved back from Italy. Our love for gardening, the botanical way. Sharing with you our manifold treasures from exotic places and even offering several in my Mariette's Back to Basics Boutique for others to enjoy as well as high end silver items from Giovanni Raspini, Italy.

{Learn from Maria Shriver - having the courage to press the PAUSE button}

For her 2012 Commencement speech to the USC (University of Southern California) Annenberg School of Communications, Maria Shriver used a GREAT SUBJECT!
"Have the courage to press the PAUSE button!" Her message was a strong one and it is worthwhile to listen to her video tape. Also the text, from Maria Shriver's blog, can be read from a link that I will post below.

This is the Pause or Break button from my keyboard...

Reading Forbes.com I found this incredible advise by reading Travis Bradberry's story.
Worthwhile for sharing with you!

Dearest Mariette ... thank you for sharing this wonderful inspiring speech! Maria Shriver is such an inspiration of living life with grace and gratitude. I love her reference to handwritten thank you notes and actually speaking with people over texting them. Hugs and blessings, C. (HHL)

Liebe Mariette,
eine wahrhaft große Rede. Pausen sind in unserem Leben
sehr wichtig. Wir brauchen Pausen, um wieder zu uns selbst zu
finden. Und sie weist uns darauf hin, was wir alles verloren
haben in dieser verkabelten Welt.
Einen schönen Abend wünscht
Irmi
