Twice a year my husband and I choose a month where we decide that we are not going to spend any money. We pay our normal bills but we limit ALL spending other than that.

knowing our strengths
When my grandmother was a young girl she was learning to play the piano. She practiced hard and learned to play all the music that her teachers gave her.
One day, her mother sat down with her and said "Marcella - your fingers know what notes to play, and you have worked very hard at your lessons, but as much as you try, you do not make music."
And she handed her a tennis racket.
My grandmother was an excellent athlete and it was such a blessing that her mother knew her strengths and had the insight to honor them!

one of the original sunday night dinners on the roof in downtown los angeles
this is how i learned to cook. this is how i loved to bring people together. this is what led to starting my company Sunday Night Dinner.
i used to have these dinner parties on the roof every six weeks for 50 people.
we had the best view and we always had the best time.
