Cultural Insight: Who Are the Navajo of Arizona?

My Three Days in the Navajo Nation I recently had the extraordinary opportunity to teach a few business etiquette workshops at  Dine'College  in Arizona, which is deep in the heart of the Navajo Nation. Upon hearing about my workshops -- and where -- many contributed their impressions of what type of people the Navajo would be. Many also shared stories about driving on the reservation--beware the reservation police. After spending a few days with the lovely students and staff of Dine', I found most of what I heard to be untrue. Therefore, I would like to share my experiences with you.  Navajos Ride Skateboards and Play Hacky Sack Too!

Product Review: Brookside Crunchy Clusters

Glad I Took the Challenge to #DiscoverBrookside I recently received a package of Brookside Crunchy Clusters to sample.  I wasn't too sure if I'd like them since I'm not a huge fan of "berry flavors".  Many times these tend to taste fake and too sweet.  However, the word "chocolate" did it for me.  So, I agreed.  Once I received my package, I didn't have it in my hands for long.  My husband laughingly pulled it away reminding me of my distaste for berry flavoring.  Nevertheless, he relinquished the package long enough for me to grab a nibble. One word describes the Brookside Crunchy Clusters, "Yum!"  There were no off or fake flavorings.  There was just a nice crunchy, chocolaty, natural berry flavor.  I was very impressed.  Will I purchase this brand in the future?  Oh yes!
