October 29, 2024 | Comments Off on Insight Weekly- Kim Wybenga – LegalShield Business Solutions

Most of us have experienced a time in our lives when we feel we have endured a bit of injustice and RIGHTFULLY SO, considering the complex world that we live in today. It can sometimes feel that people look out for their own interests rather than displaying empathy for others. March of 2020 tested our social fears, anxieties and need for self-preservation when toilet paper all but disappeared off the shelves. Yes, human nature can be unpredictable at times. And that is why reputable services like LegalShield and IDShield and their local Independent Associate, Steve Remmel, exist. When we are faced with a legal dilemma or have a specific question regarding our privacy or our rights, we no longer need to feel alone or unsupported…it’s LegalShield and IDShield to the rescue!

In 1983 this highly ambitious woman embarked on a journey to serve her Central Coast Community in the field of property management.

ALWAYS DRESSED FOR SUCCESS!
This week I was blessed to interview a woman that showered me with kindness and extended a warm smile from the moment I met her. As I walked into the room of a South County Chamber of Commerce mixer nearly a year ago, ANITA SHOWER, a renowned public figure here on our unique Central Coast, immediately recognized that I was, as she so eloquently put it “…the new kid in town: our newest transfer student!” 😊

ESSENTIAL KEY INGREDIENTS FOR LIFELONG SUCCESS!

When we think of some of our favorite recipes, they all seem to have a couple of things in common: They have KEY INGREDIENTS that are ESSENTIAL to the outcome of the recipe and are passed on from generation to generation. With my Italian roots, one of the cultural dishes I have always appreciated was a big plate of spaghetti topped with a tasty Italian style sauce, a sauce that could make my tastebuds feel like I died and went to heaven. 😊
