Credit where credit is due...Gary Hayes wrote this little program that calculates social media counts from the time you visit the site - this is cool (in a geeky sort of way).

Today Marks WiseSize 6th Year Anniversary!
Wow, how time flies!
Where did that 6 years go? Today is Marilyn and my 6th year anniversary from when we first started selling on-line with Ebay. It all started with a 25 cent Ronald McDonald watch we tried just for fun. 20,000 packages later, to friends and customers all over the planet, here we are today and having as much fun as we did with that 20 cent watch!
What has the last 6 years taught us?
1. Anything is possible (if you have passion!)
2. People are wonderful
3. If you keep at it, it will happen
4. A man can learn women's clothing sizes
5. Marilyn is usually right
6. Being in business is not that scary (well, yes it is, but not as bad as I thought)
7. Learning is fun, so is growing
8. A dream is worth chasing
9. There are always people to learn from
10. You need a vacation from time to time
11. You need a reason to be in business besides making money
12. Bad things will happen, get over it
13. Marilyn is usually right
14. Never quit or give up on your dreams
15. Listen to people
16. Learn from examples
17. Learn something new every day
18. Create a vision board
19. Don't listen to anyone who says you can't
20. Listen to everyone who says you can (including yourself)

All You Need Is Love - The Beatles Love Show at Mirage, Las Vegas
Marilyn and I love the music of the Beatles as still do millions around the world. Recently we had the opportunity to see LOVE by Cirque Du Soleil at the Mirage for the second time and it was better than the first! For anyone who likes Beatles music, we recommend this show highly! Here is a video of the making of the show (it does not take anything away from the awesome spectacle that is any Cirque Du Soleil show).
Here is a link to the rest of the videos on the making of Love!

Charisse Pempengco Duet with Celine Dion on Oprah
Every once in a while a talent comes along that just needs to be shared with the world. This little 16 year old girl is that talent! The best part of this moving story is she kept on believing in her dreams and out of poverty and because of the love for her family - A New Star Is Born - She is amazing and so is her story!

September 9-11 2001 Tribute - May We Never Forget!
This is one of the more moving tributes of that terrible day when America was attacked. We Need to Remember and Never Forget the people we lost that day, the brave everyday people who were the true heroes and the rest of who's lives it changed forever!
As September 11 2009 approaches, I think back on what was I doing the moment I first learned or heard of this terrible event; I was at the eye doctors waiting for an appointment and starred at the tv screen and did not move for almost an hour, I called Marilyn (who was home recovering from surgery) which she said seemed so minimal after hearing this.
What were you doing when you first learned of this tragic event?
This video is about 5 minutes long but well worth it!

It's In Every One Of Us
We have decided to do something with this blog that we did not originally intend to do. In the beginning, we started the blog with the thought that this would be a good way to promote our website, business, and increase sales; along with being entertaining. Wrong!
So many wonderful stories and experiences have come our way, via the web, from friends and in life, that we have decided to dedicate this blog to sharing them (don't worry, we will still do a fair amount of shameless self promotion here and there...after all, you deserve a great deal on great fashions from WiseSize).
This video, I cannot embed, but it is a wonderful tribute to the human spirit, which is what this blog will be about from now on! Thank you! Ken & Marilyn - WiseSize

It doesn't matter how many times you fall down - it's how many times you get up!
Old Chinese Proverb "fall down 7 times, get up 8"
We all fall down sometimes, whether it's our diet, exercise, goals and probably just about everything else. And here is the good news - We will again! the key is getting back up. This video explains it far better than I ever could. I hope you find it inspirational and as heartwarming as I did and will watch it often:
