I sat in a conference room this weekend for Allison Maslan's Blast Off! Business Breakthrough. It started on my anniversary and I will have to say I was excited to be there. This was mine and Tony's way of celebrating. I know it's kinda weird, but heck we aren't normal anyway. Many of the attendees there thought we were a bit weird once they learned about the awesome ONE Community! Over the weekend Tony took the opportunity to put his money where his mouth is and showed me just how much he believes in me. It really lifted my spirits and put the wind beneath my wings. When was the last time that you showed your spouse just how much they mean to you? Our spouses need to hear and see just how important they are to us.  Verbally sharing and showing your spouse how you invest in your marriage will pay dividends.
