Good morning. Below is from a message I received from my friend Jason DeLaPorte. Anything he puts his hands and mind to is awesome. I want to share this new itunes App that he has launched today with you... read below...

"We are launching the Social Styles App for the iPhone and iTouch through iTunes today. As you can imagine, we are very excited and need your help spreading the word.

Our desire is to allow everyone access to the most powerful app thus far. There is nothing else like it. Our intent is to impact people’s lives in a positive way by allowing them to take advantage of over 50 years of research in how people are wired. A tool for building more productive relationships in their pocket. Using a state-of-the-art algorithm, this tool will allow folks to profile Friends, Colleagues, Salespeople, Family, Significant Others, Children and Bosses. It will also give folks a customized approach on how to deal with each of these folks whether it be face-to-face, voicemail, email or specifically to their relationship. For example, if you profile one of your children it will give you parenting tips customized for the way that child is wired!

Watch the YouTube clip announcing the app!

Our purpose for developing this app was to:
1. Give folks a “tool in their pocket” to build more productive personal and professional relationships and in some cases repair them
2. Make people’s life easier
3. Build better leaders, better salespeople, better parents, enhance relationships with friends, family and co-workers

I am preparing a quick road trip with my daughters to Jackson Hole, WY. The girls and I will listen to the Books on CD from the Twilight Series to and from..... Last time we went to Jackson we listened to the Harry Potter Books on CD. It is something we love to do... listen to books on CD when we take road trips.

I have contacted http://reeldealanglers.com/content/aboutus.html and will plan to go fly fishing with Quincy the best Fly Fishing women ever! Quincy took me fly fishing my first time last summer and taught me so much... it was one of my most enjoyable outings I have ever experienced. Thus, returning to Jackson Hole means connecting with fly fishing again and having Quincy take me down the river teaching me every step of the way. Maybe this time I will be able to actually pull in my fish. Last time, I just "caught the fish" then because I was unable to pull it in the fell off my pole. Thus a new meaning to "catch and release" a term that made me look like a much better fly fisherwomen then I actually am.

Tons of fun!

We will also return to Yellowstone National Park. http://www.yellowstone.net/ we are planning to go into it from a new entrance so that we may be able to see different types of animals.

We will post while we are away... to let you know how much fun the trip is and what we are doing....

You need to plan the way a fire department plans: it cannot anticipate where the next fire will be, so it has to shape an energetic and efficient team that is capable of responding to the unanticipated as will as to any ordinary event.

I was a total grump this late afternoon.
Many times the demands on my day and attention become draining.
Today was one of those days.
And the Afternoon hit me full force.

I have just returned from my last Leadership Texas conference feeling inspired and saddened all balled up in my heart. This has been a year long journey building friendships, learning, learning and more learning, and so much fun enjoying new friends and becoming close girlfriends by the end of this journey. You know we need our girlfriends! You may be thinking that throwing 100 outspoken, opinionated women together is a recipe for disaster... well frankly, it would be. But in this environment, we all come together to learn, grow and to put out on the table our opinions, thoughts and passionate views. We also deeply respect one another and those independent views that we bring to the table. Straight talk never got in the way of building our relationships that will allow us to find a path to accomplishing missions that will help us make positive change to our State.

I am not a native Texan but have lived here for more than fifteen years and am a transplant in the state. Since I was a daughter of a serviceman, better known as a "military brat" moving my family to Texas some fifteen years ago was no big deal. Now, for the first time in fifteen years, I begin to feel like I am a Texan. It is in my blood now. And Leadership Texas is a big part of how my feeling for the state has transpired. Texas has its own growth problems but.... none that we can't handle with inspired women such as those sisters in the class of 08! The great 08!
