01. Glint Celebrates 20 Years
For our 20th Anniversary, we are making 2020 a year to pause and reflect. Glint wants to celebrate twenty years of business by having people share their stories and business journeys. Everyone has a story, and it has been quite the journey for us; let’s face it, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. If anything, it’s hard to run a business, but what makes it worthwhile is reflecting on how far you’ve come. We all started somewhere and were impacted by significant moments along the way. It doesn’t matter if you’re in your first year of business, your fiftieth, or you haven’t even started. It’s about understanding the meaning of hard work and remembering that no matter where you are in your journey to take a moment to pause and reflect on what it took to get you where you are now.
The people you work with, the work you do, and the things you have accomplished are all a part of your success development. So, we ask, what makes you proud? What drives you? Where do you want to be?

02. Join The Movement
In celebration of achieving our twenty-year milestone, we want to encourage you to join our Pause and Reflect campaign. Together, we can spread words of encouragement, celebrations, and thanks by posting on social media and using the hashtag #pauseandreflect. Although the challenges we’ve faced in 2020 may have been overwhelming at times, taking a moment to pause and reflect over the last twenty years will likely give you hope, and confirm you’ve still made a lot of progress. So please, join the campaign and help us celebrate how great the last twenty years have been.
Merry Christmas everyone. Cheers to to a wonderful holiday season. #pumpkinspicemartini #shakennotstirred #glintadvertising

Pause and reflect, that’s what i’ve been doing this entire year. Without the tragedy that is 2020 I would have never been led to appreciate all the good things in my life. I usually save the mirror pics for the snap story, but one of those good things in my life is my awesome job, and we’re currently celebrating our 20th anniversary (hence the kickass shirt). Moral of the story: appreciate the little things, remember ur roots, stop and smell the roses, and reflect on ur journey 🙂 #pauseandreflect #glintadvertising

Taking a minute to pause and reflect on all the great things I have in my life. #pauseandreflect #glintadvertising

2020 is our 20th anniversary. What a year to reflect. Immediately, 911, 08’ housing market crash, and COVID-19 quickly flood the brain. Then I realize all the things we’ve overcome and how awesome the journey has been. Visit glintadv.com to reflect with us. #pauseandreflect #glintadvertising

“Less is more!” What’s a lesson you’ve learned? #pauseandreflect #glintadvertising get your own pause and reflect graphic at glintadv.com

Who helped me get there? #1 is my wife jzlloyd , my family, friends, past instructors, and many mentors paved my way. Are you brave enough to mention one person who helped you? #pauseandreflect #glintadvertising

For all the “and” requests. Sometimes less is more, more or less. #pauseandreflect #glintadvertising

Take time to pause and remember all the good things in our lives. Thank you family, friends, and clients for being such a big part of my growth. #pauseandreflect #glintadvertising

🌤 Sunday Pause 🌿
Sometimes, the best thing we can do is to simply pause — to breathe, reflect, and be grateful for where we are, kahit hindi pa perpekto ang lahat. ✨
May this Sunday remind us to rest our minds, lift our hearts, and trust His timing. 🙏

“No fatigue, nor disease, nor sorrow, nor sadness, nor hurt, nor distress befalls a Muslim, even if it were the prick he receives from a thorn, but that Allah expiates some of his sins for that.”
[Sahih al-Bukhari 5641, Sahih Muslim 2573]
Your hardship is not in vain. Even a thorn prick wipes away your sins.
Imagine what your heartbreak, loss, or pain is erasing...

📖 Write your story with gratitude in your heart.
Not because life has been perfect —
but because life has been kind in quiet, meaningful ways.
🌿 Stop and reflect — so you don’t miss it.
You may not always think so in the moment…
But when you pause, when you look back with soft eyes,
you’ll see it:
The strength you’ve gained.
The lessons you’ve learned.
The people who stayed.
The moments that shaped you.
They’re all chapters worth honouring.
Let your gratitude be the ink that turns your journey into something beautiful. 💛

Day 2. Driving to the edge of the `old world`, we stopped at one of our favourite cafés & spent the afternoon at s small, quiet beach.
Day 3. We spent the whole morning at a café with the best view of one of the most famous surf beaches.
In the afternoon, we headed back home.
We were so incredibly grateful to have taken this time - & learned that these pauses need to happen more often.

🌟 What a week… 🌟
Sometimes, the most powerful thing we can do is grant ourselves permission to pause. In the hustle and bustle of life, it’s easy to lose sight of who we truly are. Taking a moment to breathe, reflect, and reset with amazing women amandajessica8 ljross_author allows us to discover and rediscover our passions, desires, and goals.
As I prepare to reset and refocus, I’m embracing this time to reconnect with my true self and set intentions for the journey ahead. Remember, taking a break isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a crucial step toward strength and clarity.
Let’s hit those goals in every aspect of life and start as we mean to grow strong together 💪✨

I apologize for the late post!
I`ve heard Europeans express a belief that most Americans are not well traveled because many haven`t left the country or have only left a few times. However, once they visited the US they realized how expansive the country is, and how many interesting things there are to see.
Our family traveled to Gatlinburg recently and we stayed in the Great Smoky Mountains. What an awesome experience it is to see what America has to offer, and to understand the phrase "purple mountains majesty".
What a beautiful country we have! America certainly has her issues, but I`m still proud to be an American, and I pray for the USA - HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!

🤔 Sunday Reflections: The Garden I Tend 🌱
Imagine your life as a garden.
Some areas are blooming, full of colour, energy, and growth.
Others are dry, overgrown, or forgotten.
Every day, whether we realise it or not, we’re tending to something.
We pour our time, our thoughts, our energy into certain parts of life.
But the question is, are we nurturing what actually matters?
💭 What am I nurturing right now?
💭 Is it aligned with what I truly want to grow?
Or just what feels urgent or expected?
💭 What parts of my life have I neglected that are quietly wilting without attention?
Maybe you’ve been overwatering work, but undernourishing your relationships.
Maybe you’ve poured into everyone else’s garden, and now yours feels dry.
Maybe there’s a dream or part of yourself you haven’t checked on in a while, and it’s still waiting patiently for the sun.
Some things might need more light.
Some boundaries might need pruning.
Some weeds, such as comparison, fear, or people-pleasing, might need to be gently pulled out at the root.
Your life grows where your energy flows.
So today, pause and ask:
✨ What am I growing?
✨ What needs more care?
✨ And what needs to be cleared so something new can thrive?
Tend to your inner garden with presence. You deserve to bloom too.
What are you nurturing, and what are you ready to return to with intention?
Let’s reflect together.

SANCTUARY:
Anyplace people (or other creatures) can go for peaceful tranquility and/or introspection.
Yup, that’s what Rabbit Hollow is for me. 🥰
1. Do you have bees visiting? Give them someplace to land that has water - it’s thirsty work they do!
2. The sound of running water is known to have a calming effect on us. (It also reminds me to go with the flow. )
3. Sunflowers offer pollen for the bees and later seeds for the birds and next year more flowers for me. (And they remind me to always turn towards the sun and soak in the good vibes. )
4. The wonders of Mother Nature are filled with complexity and hardship worth appreciating. Plants that struggle and survive and spread seeds for the future are an example we can all do harder things than we usually think possible.
5. Ferdinand, our resident bull, watches over the back 40. He is the grounding force in the garden, one of the centrepieces. I pause just like he does and ground myself in this special place.

Not every disagreement is war. 🧠 Sometimes it`s love reaching out—just clumsily. What feels like conflict might be someone trying to connect, but struggling to say it right.
Next time tension rises, pause. Ask yourself: Is this an attack… or a messy attempt at connection? 💭
