"I long to accomplish a great and noble
task, but it is my chief duty to
accomplish small tasks as if
they were great and noble."
- Helen Keller

Helen Keller's words remind me of this commitment that I make to God, my family, my customers and my country.  It is the small things that we do in our everyday lives that make a difference.  We do not have to be the smartest and brightest, or the strongest, or the fastest, or sell the most, or make the most money.  What we have to do is the little stuff.  Do what we commit to.  Do something that impacts another person's life in a positive way - everyday.  Smile.  Open the door for someone.  Lay your neighbor's newspaper on their porch.  Ask someone about their day - and mean it - and listen when they tell you about it.  Use what you have - whether it is knowledge or a skill, or both - to make someone's life a little better.  You always get more than you give when you give it joyfully.  Understand your motives for doing what you do, are they coming from a good place?

By now I hope you have been to my website enough to know that my tag line is "It's Howell It's Done".  When I picked this as a moniker for myself, my coach at the time asked me to write some things down about myself - things that others had said about me in my past career and volunteer activities.  What I have heard said about me, throughout my lifetime, was that if you needed something done, no matter the task or difficulty, "give it to Missi and if she accepts the assignment, you know that she will get it done for you". It's just part of who I am.  When I commit to getting something done, I will do what is in my power to get the job done. 

Well - I have a few things I want to get done, so I'll leave you for now.  See ya around the neighborhood!
