Thoughts on Summer

I think I figured out yesterday why I enjoy summer vacation so much. I was wondering about this because I still work at the chiropractic office and I still do my Arbonne business and have a certain amount of calls and appointments that I do daily. Yet, I have had so much peace and calm and felt so relaxed lately.

I do know that I love sleeping with the windows open, feeling the soft breeze in the mornings. I can hear the birds singing and an owl right now! I love the sunshine, of course! But, the number one difference is the kids being out of school. I didn't realize just how much school work puts stress on parents. We are constantly checking on homework, going through backpacks, writing down events, appointments, classes, schedules, checking on grades, following up with any challenges that the kids have. I do have five kids and we go from elementary to high school. So, the main difference for me, is the lack of school work, kid's schedule and kid's events.

I can definitely handle all of my daily work, keeping up the house and enjoying my friendships, kids and life in general. I will enjoy this reprieve from schoolwork and just cherish every day where I have a little less stress to deal with.

I hope you have a wonderful summer, enjoy all of the people in your life and all of the little things that bring the biggest joys.

Cancun Trip with Arbonne, 2009

Cancun Trip, October, 2009 With Arbonne International Earned this awesome trip! Pyramids at Chichen Itza Gorgeous day with awesome friends! I have never felt humidity like this, though!!! It was crazy! To walk outside and be as wet as if I just got out of the shower! Why blow dry my hair? I did give up by the last day! The last day of the trip, I totally enjoyed the hammock and being utterly indulgent. Why does it take 4 days before you really start to relax??? That is just NOT right! :-) I am so grateful to work with such an awesome company as Arbonne! I love the concept of having healthy products, an environmentally friendly company and the most amazing women you can imagine. One thing that has hit me really hard this past 2 months of personal growth and coaching etc is that the greatest blessings my Arbonne business has brought me are 1. the friendships with incredible women and 2. Learning my own value and self worth. Why have I always doubted me? I am learning that I have a lot of...

Hello again! I just wanted to say thank you to all my fabulous friends, business partners and clients who so actively helped me earn my trip to Cancun this year! You are all incredible and awesome! I have been in Arbonne almost 3 years and one thing I will pass on to any of you with goals and dreams, WRITE THEM DOWN! Be intentional! This is the first year I paid the $30 registration fee last December and every month set about doing what I needed to do to stay on track to earn this trip! You can achieve what you set your mind to! Of course, you must follow through with lots of activity and personal growth reading and time. Our minds are incredibly powerful, though, never ever doubt that! Our summer is going well. Goodness, the kids will be back to school at the end of the month. Oh, and Victor and I have our 10th anniversary coming up this month! Wow! 10 years flew by! I hope you are all well. Blessings and love to you :-)
