Nibbles and Libations:
Gasparilla 2018
Gasparilla seems to have gone off without a hitch…or should I say without a major hitch! In fact, according to Tampa PD the
arrest numbers were low!
Our islands were a buzz with invasion parties and boat watchers. I have heard from a few restaurant owners and they were packed too.

Book of the Month
Each January I like to start the year reading one of my favorite books “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill. I am sure you have either heard or read this book at some time in your life and for me it is one of the original sources for which ALL success books originated. The essence of this book truly brings to life the reality of how humans can achieve greatness and success in whatever they truly desire.
If you have never read this book or it has been years since you have read it, I encourage you to acquire a copy. Within the first chapter you will not only feel reinvigorated to accomplishing your goals, but most importantly reprogram how you might think about success and achievement.
