Quote of the day:

Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same. ~Francesca Reigler

I'm a counter wiper. I love love love a clean counter. Sparkling! It makes me super happy.

My husband smiled when we were visiting my brother in Seattle whom we adore as he observed him take counter wiping to a whole new level. He has a spray bottle just for this purpose! Clearly it runs in the family.

After practicing Prana Power Yoga this morning before my five kiddos woke up, I was heading downstairs to hop on cardio and write when I noticed crumbs all over our kitchen countertops. I decided to take a moment to wipe 'em down and as I did so, instead of getting annoyed at the person who had left the counters disgusting and/or my partner who doesn't share my love of sparkling countertops (or perhaps he does, but it ain't reflected in his actions ha ha), I turned my focus inward, and found the joy in doing so. Because I really kinda like it! I'm a Virgo after all.

Then I took it to an even higher spiritual level and said to the Universe as I wiped down them counters, "I am cleaning out the cobwebs of old stuck energy in the recesses of my mind."

You can turn anything into a spiritual practice. You can use each moment and experience to create your BEST LIFE EVER, using the law of attraction, by focusing on what you want.

The Universe loves loves loves metaphors and stuff like this. Trust me, it works.

Have the best day ever!

Namaste!

VAIL Nine months and plenty of construction after the Antlers at Vail hotel launched a plan with the goal of bringing 100 percent of its suites up to Vails highest platinum ranking for lodging, more than half of the condominium hotels units have received the luxe upgrades and the Antlers is boasting a new logo and website to celebrate its new look.

Designed by Denver-based Wigwam Creative, Antlers at Vails new logo offers a clean, modern approach while incorporating Vails European cachet, as well as the hotels popular elk antlers theme on view in the iconic bronze statue of two clashing elk in the hotels courtyard.

Emphasizing Photography

The just-launched website emphasizes photography including the newly upgraded units as photographed by Michael Rawlings and styled by Amy Lewis and presents the old sites familiar color palette in a new way. Created by Vail-based Nichols Interactive, the new http://www.antlersvail.com is a responsive site that automatically adjusts to devices used to access it, and puts the most valuable information at the users fingertips while highlighting the fun personality of the Antlers blog and valuable feedback from travelers on TripAdvisor.

Our logo and corporate identity was 40 years old, and as comfortable as we were with it too comfortable, probably as we began to see the amazing results of our Unit Quality Improvement plan moving us toward becoming an overall platinum-rated property, we realized it was time for a new logo and visual brand to represent the new Antlers, said Antlers General Manager Rob LeVine. Both because of our name and our well-known courtyard sculpture, we felt it was important to keep the elk and antlers as part of our logo. Plus, we wanted to convey that although we look better, our values remain the same, emphasizing our the answer is yes, now what is the question? approach to customer service, our family feel and our strong role as a community partner.

Luxe Upgrades

Unique to vacation destinations, Vail Valley Partnership manages a Lodging Quality Assurance program that provides a standardized rating system for all units rented through the Vail Valleys central reservation systems, with platinum representing the highest level of room appointments. Antlers at Vail interior upgrades in recent months have included granite countertops, stainless appliances, new flooring, new lighting and entertainment systems, new fireplaces, furnishings and much more with resulting upgrades to the platinum LQA scores.

Were getting great feedback from our loyal guests who have been coming here for years about the changes both here at the Antlers and on our website, which is so important to us, LeVine said. And at the same time we hope our new look and website presence will make it easier for new guests to find us and see what we have to offer.

Elgin, Ill-based The Middleby Corp. plans to acquire Milwaukee-based U-Line Corp., the companies announced today.

U-Line designs and assembles built-in refrigerators and ice makers that fit under countertops. The corporate headquarters has been in Milwaukee since it was founded by Henry Uihlein in 1962, and the headquarters will remain in Milwaukee. The brand, operations and leadership will also be retained as they are.

U-Line, which has 169 employees, also has an office in Laguna Beach, Calif. and a European office. Its products are shipped all over the world, and its annual revenues are about $60 million.

Middleby, which has about 4,500 employees globally, manufactures, markets and services equipment used in commercial foodservice and food processing, and residential kitchen equipment under brands including Blodgett, Toastmaster and Viking.

U-Line is a well-established brand and a category leader in innovation, quality and performance in the high-end residential markets (it serves), said Selim Bassoul, chairman and chief executive officer of The Middleby Corp. U-Line has an outstanding reputation and provides a strong strategic addition to our growing residential platform. We are excited about the fourth quarter launch of a fully redesigned and expanded lineup of new products at U-Line and believe the company is well positioned for growth. The transaction price was not disclosed.
