Just 24 hours ago, I decided to give this whole 'blogging' thing a shot...

 

So here we go!

 

It is my intention is to build a practical bridge between the personal & professional sides of my life in hopes of sharing my thoughts and relative experiences with my friends & colleagues in a useful way. So I felt it was an appropriate time to share a little about me.  

 

 

 

As a business travel consultant - my primay function is to work with companies that have traveling employees and identify ways to save time, and money.  I uncover lost savings opportunities and help to fine-tune travel policies and structure a proactive travel management program.  I analyze data, keep up with industry trends, and keep a focused eye on my customers goals and objectives.

 

 

Every business goes though a lifecycle, and managed travel is definitely on the rise... travelers are now re-discovering the value of human interaction, and customer service. The internet was once a great way to save money, but the times have changed... the 'deals' have slowly faded and consumers are finally starting to catch on.  So keep an eye out... TRAVEL MANAGEMENT IS ON THE RISE!!!!

 

 In fact, managed travel and expense management programs are becoming a highly saught after tool for smart companies... 

 

In 2008 you may not remember me, but you will remember this random blog! 

 

Yoga has gotten me through some crrrrrrrazy times in my life... having a practice that spans nearly a decade, I have used Yoga as a life tool:

 

After my accident in 2004, it was during my own physical rehabilitation that I started to realize how deep the passion for my practice was. I found myself wanting to share my growing knowledge and appreciation with everyone around me.  And soon, Yoga became the cure for everything in my life!!! 

 

The I noticed something:

 

 

 

I completed my formal training & certification program in 2006 and I began teaching.

 

I currently teach at a resort in Newport Coast.  I am blessed to share my mormning practice with amazing people from all over the world.  While I do not get to see each of my students progress beyond the length of a vacation, I feel that a spark of interest in a relaxed setting may encourage them to add a little yoga to their life when they get home...

 

If each student walks away learning ONE little thing about themselves during our time together, then I have succeeded as a teacher..

 

 

I have this idea that life is a series of bridges that join ideas and people at different times for various reasons. I will expand on this thought more later - but I see big things on the horizon and plan to bring it all together...  

 

In 2008 I plan to expand on teaching & wellness programs to incorporate travel & business... 

 

until next time,   

 

Namaste~
