Happy Holidays!!!

Happy Holidays and great health to all!! I have taken some time away to get realigned, refocused and recharged! I have gone through more "drama" this past year than I have in the past 48 years combined......WHEW!!
I am finally getting close to embarking on my new career....... close to getting my Xango business foundation formed properly............getting my personal transformation in line.......getting my perspective on reality back in order................
I am thankful for so much, grateful to have the special people in my life that truly make a difference, and have come to accept my reality of "being human" and all of the mistakes, lessons and growth that comes with it!!

The Xango Experience!

Back to reality.....the Annual Xango Convention was a HOMERUN!! 10,000 attendees, countless speakers, endless new faces and everyone was sensational!! Tons of great new information, updates, medical reports, training......talk about the best company on the planet!! If you are not lucky enough to be involved, change it!! I think the best thing about the event, was being able to put some faces together with the names and voices! It's a new "day one" for my business! Rock On!!

Xango Annual Convention!

It's finally here......the Annual Convention for Xango in Salt Lake City. I am leaving early in the morning tomorrow, taking a short 7 hour drive, and settling in for about 5 days. It will be great to finally put a face with all the names, meet a ton of new people, and get regenerated about the business. The Swedish crew is rolling in, and it'll be great to reconnect with them!!
I'll get back here upon my return, and get myself reorganized about writing daily......

Progress.........

Oops.....missed a few days here! I am concluding my local health club visitations, trying to get a feeling on the local training market and seeking employment opportunities! The best response for employment has come from my first choice, believe it or not, and looks very promising! It is the largest health club here, one that I previously belonged to for over 5 years, and one that potentially could be a "homerun" for my business and soccer ties! I'll keep you posted....I'll know a bunch more in about 2 weeks. I am sooooooooo ready to get back to being productive, at least measurable productivity.........

You Never Know!!

What a funny world.......I received an email back today from a 5-star fitness resort in Fiji that I had applied to back in August!! I am a finalist for a fitness instructor position there!! I had forgotten about it, and also didn't think for a second that is was a reality. Yeah, you never know......
The weather has changeed here, maybe for the season. We now have snow around us in the mountains and it's stunning! I am not ready for it, but, oh well!!
Have a great month!!

Happy October!

OK!! I am back home after a little trip, and it's time to get back to a regular schedule.....no more studying! I am heading out today to visit a couple clubs, trying to find someone to become affiliated with. I am also starting a rough draft of my brochure this week, along with a basic business card and some ideas for a website.
Starting over is great! It seems to scare most people, but the change is a wonderful and exciting new opportunity for me......stay tuned!

Time certainly does fly.....

WOW! Where did a week go? I can't believe how time carried on for the past 7 days!! I have had my head buried in a text book and my eyes stuck to my computer studying for my last certification....taking the test in a few short days. It has been really awesome these past few days, hearing from people who want to train, telling me about people who need to train, and getting tons of very positive feedback regarding my new endeavor! I can't wait.......and i am a terrible waiter, as my friends can attest to!

Personal Training Evolution!

I am finding out just how many friends and acquaintances are suddenly in need of fitness advice, knowing I have been involved personally for 30 years, but now with my certifications I seem to be in demand! HUH!!
The studying is coming along, my brain is getting a solid meal of information, and I am ready to bring this thing full circle and take the exam next week!
I have an opportunity to visit a health club owner in Nevada about the possibility of a great new career.....2 weeks away! Stay tuned!

Textbook Time!

This weekend signals the beginning of my next "chapter" in studying for my second personal training certification. Round one consists of a 675 page textbook, followed up by 3 video series and corresponding manuals for follow up! I am 500 pages into the textbook, finishing up Monday and getting into the video portion of my studying. I have always enjoyed "brain food", and I am getting a steady menu of it now.....what fun!! There's a whole lot to be said about acquired knowlege and new beginnings!!!

Another Training Thought.....

I had another training thought today.....what about the soccer club that I coach for? There are enough teams and players to keep me very busy, and at the same time strengthen the competitiveness of the local teams! I am also beginning to explore website design, taking a look around and gathering information. Change is incredible!! New thoughts, ideas, exposures, knowledge and windmills to chase!!

Myth Busters!!!!

Think about this......if you can have the best physical conditioning of your life, regardless of your age, would you take it? Yeah, it's a very silly question! This is one of the approaches I am going to pursue and promote with my new training. I might even call it Myth Busters, or something along those lines, and focus on the baby boomers......I am in the best shape of my life at 49 years young and I think it's time to share!!
The only boundaries we have internally are self imposed.......want to blast through them?

Good Morning and Happy September!!

Another month rolled by, and a new season is rapidly approaching......WHEW!!
I am getting ready to create a website for my new personal training business. It's going to be a combination referral/store front venue for the business, creating awareness for myself and my business along with training and related information that can be subscribed to on a monthly basis.

Finally I am getting to a place where I am totally content simply helping others, having a chance to give somethings back that I have accumulated over the past 30 plus years training myself and others!! Stay tuned, it's going to be off the charts!!

The Ability To Communicate!

How refreshing is it to have someone that you can talk to about anything? These people are very few and far between, and are to be cherished and never taken for granted!! When you think about it, simple communicating seems so easy, so simple, and yet so insanely difficult! What a paradigm! Are people hearing what you are saying, or what you are telling them? Is it really crystal clear, and if not, do they ask for clarification? Are things simply taken for face value, or maybe a bit overthought and misunderstood? Might we be reading too much into things at times?

All great things to ponder!! Live,laugh and love!

Make It Happen!

Another day......had a wonderful talk last night with a good friend who is active in the Bozeman personal training market, and it helped to answer some questions! I am going to stop by her club on Friday for a "look-see" .
A voice from the past, planned of course, called yesterday and we had a super talk. She is still up in the air about a relationship.......funny, after she told me she is tired of being alone and of seeing her friends with their husbands, etc! A little mixed on the signals!! I am not sure how much longer I can wait....I care the world for her but it's getting close to maybe moving on, we'll see.

Have a great day: live, laugh and love!

The Bud or the Blossom?

I had a close friend pose the question this morning: is it more painful to remain as a tight bud, or to allow yourself to blossom? Now, there's some excellent food for thought!!
Another great couple days, seeing a fair amount of inquiries regarding my resume....nothing that makes me jump and shout yet!! I am going to look at a few resorts, Hawaii and the surrounding area, for fitness positions. I am ready for a radically new location, warm weather, and a simple and serene life!
Share the day with a friend, share a laugh, and let everyone share your wonderful smile!

Back On Board!

Well, it seems as though I have been a little sloppy with my attention to my morning blog! It's time to get back on board and return to consistency. I have had way too much on my mind, for the first time in many years, and needed to process some things and find a direction. We have always taken for granted some very basic elements of our existence, and until you actually call yourself on it, you'll always simply shrug it off!!

Whew, I ripped off a calous that had covered some very fresh and tender skin, exposing some very deep and private feelings....another chapter in the emerging evolution of Michael J Weinstein!
I have discovered some things that are going to require some diligent work and constant attention, but the new and deeply refreshing feelings already are sensational!

My personal training and nutritional specialist certifications came through while I was away, so now it's time to acquire one more certification and get the new career established.

Another month..........


As July winds down, it's always hard to believe how fast time continues to speed up! Remember our childhood, days went on forever and we didn't have a single care in the world. We can come full circle, and get our lives back to an existence very similiar to what we used to know....it involves a simplification and centering of ourselves and out lifestyle! What do we really need....are all those material possessions "needed"? If you find yourself feeling a bit "too consumed", then make a plan to do something about it!

Living a simple, conscious, and balanced life is something that we all seem to overlook....but all so desperately need to enjoy and savor!!

Something is Brewing


Get ready.....something incredible is brewing, and I can feel it but still can't put my finger on it! Change is so welcomed and adored, never too spontaneous and usually kept a bit quiet. I relish in the fact that things have come full-circle, going from a very simple and planned existence, to a "let's go 100 miles per hour and work too much" attitude because we are totally absorbed in the monetary accumulation mode, back to simple and refined with an emphasis on being centered and totally balanced!

Most can only dream about these transatory events, mcuh less actually commit to a conscious effort to implement them! Live, laugh and love.......and quit talking about it!! Just do it!!

Finally Going To Texas


It's hard to finally believe, but I am making plans to get down to Texas to see my mother.....she has lived there for several years and we have not made the connection yet, although we have had a few meetings in other locations over the years! It's time for us to get together and talk about my possible involvement in her and her husband's businesses. I know, the family/business realtionship can be difficult and very trying.....time will tell. I should be heading down there in a couple weeks.

What's Going On With Our Weather


Whew!!!! This weather is insane.....3 plus weeks now of temps in the 95-105 range and no end in sight!! We very rarely get temps like this, even in August, and never for this long of a period! Are we finally going to admit to the global warming issue, or just simply chalk it up to another "cycle" in our weather patterns? We are heading for a complete closure of all the wilderness areas, fishing is already limited to certain times during the day( eventual closures are looming), and everything is dangerously dry!!

We are a very special and interesting species, having proven time and again that we can completely mess anything up, given enough time and effort!!

Have a wonderful weekend....live, laugh and love!

Thought Provoking......


Michael Moore is at it again, this time he is gunning for the health care industry and rightfully so! Take the time to go and see his latest movie, Sicko, and formulate your own conclusions. Yes, the industry is totally driven by greed, on the behalf of the HMO's and the pharmaceutical companies, and needs to be completely overhauled!! How can we as a nation place a price on everything, even our health and welfare! Why do we need to make a hideous profit on everything, is this what our forefathers had in mind when we developed our capitalist system?

There are 2 emotions that drive everything in this country that has to do with financial matters: fear and greed! It's time we as a people stood up for each other, it's time we take a stand and put an end to the relentless profiteering of the health care industry! Why do people have to die because they cannot afford insurance, and why do we so casually place a price on a human life? And best of all, why do we allow the politicians to run this country with nothing but their own self interests in mind?

Enough is enough!!!!!!!!

Fate and Destiny


We have all had something happen in our lives, an event, a chance meeting, a new relationship.....that seemed to just happen "out of the blue"! There just doesn't seem to be a rational explanation for it ( imagine hearing that from a guy) and it totally belies anything that has even a remote resemblance to something that actually makes sense! Hmmm.....

Enter my 2 very dear friends, fate and destiny! Let's face it, the Universe works in it's own way, feeding off of our energies and aligning us with a person, event or situation that we need to introduce into our existence.......go with it, accept it and simply be grateful! I just love it, have never tried to question it, and am very fortunate enough to be experiencing it RIGHT NOW!!

Remember, don't fight it.....simply accept it for what it is and what it brings into your life!

It Has To Be Montana

Friday's trip to Yellowstone National Park, another new exposure for someone (which I so enjoy) and a classic Montana weather experience!! Upon entering the park, the temperature was 98 degrees. After venturing to see Old Faithful, we headed back and the temperature rapidly dropped to 53 degrees, hail was an inch deep on the road in some spots, and at one point we stopped and got out to make snowballs!! Only in Montana......the temp drops 45 degrees in mid-July, hail everywhere and dense fog!!

Yellowstone National Park is such an experience, the vastness of the area and the incredible variety of wildlife make it a truly outstanding experience, one that should be experienced by everyone at some point!!

Today is another great hike, hot weather and a nice lunch and a great outdoor dinner.....95 to 100 degrees again today!! Live, laugh and love!!

I am going to become a certified personal trainer, having an extensive knowledge of supplementation and exercise physiology after 30 years of intense workouts and incredible physical changes: I have gained almost 80 pounds of solid muscle and at the tender, young age of 49, I am in the best shape of my very physically active life. I am also a licensed soccer coach, having spent the last 4 years assisting 15 and 16 year old boys to better understand the game and everything else that is associated with a team environment.

How We Forget......


Finally home after a little 12 hour delay changing flights from Salt Lake City to Bozeman last night! Fianlly home after a great weekend in San Francisco with a very close and dear friend and his wife! The funny part about the trip was that it also invloved a 9 year old IOU for a golf game with Mark and myself.....how we forget why we get together sometimes, and why we also need to do it more often for the right reasons!

Had a wonderful time, the weather was stunning, the food and people of San Francisco are a riot...can watch them all day! Brought home some sourdough bread for a few friends, along with some great chocolates, and some more excfellent pics! Mark and his wife had a great series of meetings about the Xango, and she is looking forward to getting her juice so that she can begin an assault on her allergies and her other slight health ailments...Mark is ready to take a serious look at the business aspects of it!

I am enjoying setting things up for the Fall Assault, the Xango business explosion that is going to take place this August and September!!

A New Sheriff In Town

Here we go!! Today marks the official New Beginning! A new adjustment in overall life, attitude, expectations and environment. I am completely over the huge mortgage payment, the having to work to pay the overhead, the not taking time to smell the roses....free at last! I am readjusting my perspective on Xango, making it my retirement residual income as it should be, and lookng at the long term plan for building a HUGE network. I am selling the new home, saying adios to the crazy payment, taking the equity and getting back to a realistic existence. I am considering a move into personal training, furthering my coaching fascination and desire!

Operating Efficiencies


I am back after a couple days away for The Fourth! Independance, what an incredible concept! In light of the current state of affairs in this country, we should all individually revisit what we were celebrating yesterday, and hopefully make a conscious effort to restablish our "freedom" ! Then, as a country, we need to pull together and show the fierce tenacity that made this country what it is.....take back our dignity and honor!

There was a time when the United States represented a strong, independant nation.....a leader and a protector of all who were in need. We had a strong and honorable reputation, above reproach and full of dignity and integrity! Let's bring it back!! It's time!!

Good Morning and Happy Monday!
It's officially July, and this is going to be the month that my MLM business takes a severe turn upwards! I have 3 trips planned out of town for new distributors in my Xango team, and a considerable amount of follow up from the past 3 months of prospecting!
Yes, it's a lot of work and an entirely new thought process making the switch from a conventional career to a MLM career, but the trade offs are more than simply acceptable....freedom in my daily routine, unlimited earnings potential, residual income that always flows, and the benefits of a home-based business for tax purposes!!
Have an incredible day, week and month......live, laugh and love!

When Is It Enough.......


Happy First of July!!

With the recent attacks in the UK, when are we as a planet going to say "that's enough"!! Who is going to send the message to these terrorists that it's not ok to continue this! It's time to declare an open season, wipe out the entire international terrorist organization...at the very least at least cease the attention and news coverage. How could there be any rules concerning how these acts are dealt with, there sure aren't any rules when these acts are comitted! Forget the old "an eye for an eye" mentality.....it's time to institute a 100 eyes for an eye! Let's create an environment where there are deterents, where someone pays and the rest listen and learn!!

Freedom is a terrible thing to take for granted!!

Home and Garden Beautification


The last day of June, the year's half way through it's annual run, and what a great day to make the house and yard show it's true colors! Thanks to some help from the resident roommate, and another stunning day with temps in the high 80's, the sun has once again kissed my skin and brought some great color and perspiration to my day!
A little attention to those little things that always seem to give me a nice smile....I hope that everyone can find the time to make themselves smile because they have taken care of those "little things" in their lives!

Commitment To Excellence


Another incredible day is brewing!! Yesterday the thermometer hit 99....coupled with a light breeze and zero humidity, it felt sensational!!

I periodically pick up a motivational book as a refresher, and found myself browsing through the words of Vince Lombardi the other day. He still is the most profoundly straight forward motivator that I have ever seen! He makes reference to the quality of a persons life being directly related to the level of their commitment to excellence. I feel that there is no better description, nor barometer, for placing a measure on a persons relative worth! It also, in my eyes, tells me everything about that person that simple words cannot. It will always come back to the actions roaring over the relative whimper of words!

Make a solid commitment to excellence, put a plan of action together and save your energy when it comes to talking about it......let your actions be your message and your call to action!

Your Heart Will Always Be True


As we walk along life's path, the accumulated wisdom and life experience constantly provide the direction and understanding that allow us to make sense of everything. That simple saying " follow your heart" always holds the truth concerning those decisions that are most dear to us! Allow your heart the opportunity to communicate openly and freely, act accordingly and make everything a whole bunch easier on yourself!

My heart has told me the "truth" this morning concerning a very close relationship, and I am now acting accordingly!

Have a sensational day!!

Planning For The Last Half


WOW! It is hard to believe that this year is approaching the half-way point! Next week is July, and we are into the 3rd quarter....staring down the end of this year already.

Today will be the initial planning for the 3rd and 4th quarters, along with the days normal business. I have to chuckle a bit about the pace of things these days. By the pace, I mean that the relationship we are accustomed to between time and space has accelerated at such a rate of speed as to almost be a total blur!

Remember where we are at on the calender, plan for next quarter and hopefully the rest of the year! Do not leave things to chance, make an effort to stay on track and share a wonderful smile with everyone today!!

The First Day of....


Good Morning!!

I was reminded of a name of mine, actually more of a label! Mr Braveheart she called me, relating to my allowing her to have her space and time to decide if she wants to spend the rest of her life with me! Whew! The most difficult thing I have ever done, and what a sore spot in my heart! One day at a time and love truly does conquer all....we will see!

The universe does work in strange ways, but whatever the case, I did what I had to do!!

MarieLouise, I love you with all my heart and soul, whatever is the right thing for both of us will eventually come out!

Getting Centered


A bright and very cheery Monday to all!!

Today is going to be a day of some personal realignment! It's time to fine tune some personal issues and bring the rest of my year into focus....and get a handle on some possible life changing events! I guess it 's always nice to keep things planned out, although sometimes things don't always seem to be what they appear to be!! I am a huge fan of not leaving things to chance, as some like to refer to me......Mr. Black and White! I guess it comes with being an Aries!!

Have an awesome day, and try and get a grip on your personal issues before chance tries to jump in and take over!!

Turn Up The Intensity


Good Morning All!!

I awoke to another stunning Montana morning, the fresh smell of mountain air and the chorus of birds radiating in my ears! Today I am tweaking my personal agenda just a bit.....I am making a conscious effort to increase the amount of intensity in both my business and personal arenas! Although it is almost magical living here, especially after 15 years in the metro-circus of Denver, Seattle and La Jolla, a person tends to become a bit"soft"!

I am starting this morning by attacking a new and more high-octane workout, a new 4 week program that is guaranteed to shock my body into new and exciting results! Next, I am going to make some time to adjust my direct marketing agenda...a fresh new approach to jump start new business and revive the momentum of my excellent team!

Have a super Sunday, and inject some new intensity into your life......live, love and laugh!

Reconnect Today

Another incredible day!! WOW! Yesterday we had 90 plus degrees and it's coming again today! It's going to be a perfect day to get out and reconnect with some friends who have drifted away, so to speak, for various reasons. Maybe it's simply not making the time anymore, or just redirected priorities, but it seems that there simply isn't enough time anymore for those simpler things!
Friendships, most often taken for granted, and assuned to always be there! Make it a point to stay close to those that mean the most to you, if not on a daily basis than at least on a regular enough schedule as to not drift apart!
Have a fulfilling and loving weekend!

Summer In Montana

Alright! It's officially summer time, as of yesterday, in the great state of Montana! For the next 3 months, actually until mid-October, the residents of this outdoor enthusiasts paradise will try and cram a years worth of outdoor activities into our normal shrinking window of opportunity afforded us by the craziest weather on the planet!
Today, the temps will be around 90, which is normal or maybe even hot by most peoples summer standards. Tomorrow could be 40 degrees cooler with the possibility of large hail or extremely high winds! We are still seeing snow melting and running off into the rivers here, the upper elevations where some awesome summer hikes exist are still shrouded in snow! We do have an abundance of water this year, after almost 7 years of drought conditions, and the tourists are once again flocking here in droves for their 1 or 2 week summer vacations!
I hope everyone has a super summer and actually gets out to enjoy the incredible scenery that this country has to offer!

An Awesome Day To Renew

How soon we forget, how soon we take it for granted, and how soon we simply seem to forget our past relationships! Having left a 17 year career in automotive sales management recently, I had let a few past relationships slip away, not taking the requisite few minutes to keep things fresh and new! Today was spent renewing a few great relationships, shaking some hands, patting a few backs, and catching up with what has transpired over the past few years. The minor professional differences that had driven us apart were simply water under a bridge many miles away!
Take some time over these next few days, as we welcome summer, and renew a few cherished past relationships! Remember those great memories, the wonderful laugh you so often shared, and just simply extend a hand to those that you so easily found the time for before!!
Live, laugh and love!!

Loving is Growing and Allowing Change

Another stunning Montana morning! Today I finally awoke to a new realization, learning that to truly love someone you have to accept change and personal growth, regardless of how much it might hurt! I am experiencing the most sensational feelings of love for an incredible woman, seperated by a few thousand miles and a bit of confusion! I want to marry her, not right this instance, but would feel at ease knowing she wants to marry me and will commit to this at some future date.
I have always been a terrible waiter, and even more so crazy when it comes to not knowing what is going on....particularly when it involves feelings of the heart and soul! I am being forced to change and to grow in order for this relationship to proceed, and I am finally at peace with that! You see, sacrifice makes the world go around, and so does everlasting and unconditional love!
MarieLouise, you mean the world to me......when you are ready, I'll be here!!

Keep Your Foot In The Firewall

Being the best you can possibly be is a very dynamic and evolving process. Keeping your finger on the pulse of continuous improvement is simply incredible! Finding out each and every day what lies ahead, what we can do individually to get a little bit better, how we can maintain that edge, and first and foremost what it means to stay on the offense!!
Press that accelerator pedal to the floor, find out exactly how much horsepower you have, and then try and find some more!! Give yourself new brain food, new physical requirements, new challenges and new adventures! Find new love, new friends, new successes, new horizons, and capture the memories! Remember what it took to get to where we are currently at, and push that pedal down some more!!
Break out!! Discover new limits and new boundaries....live, love, laugh and never linger!!

Today's words of wisdom: "don't take any prisoners"

Here We Go Again

Happy Monday morning!! Here we go, another incredible week is starting and I am inviting everyone to come along!! I am going to change my workout this week, and stay on the new program for 4 weeks! This type of program is a HUGE test for me because it involves a high number of repetitions and short rest periods! I am looking forward to it because it is a true challenge, and I know the results will be exceptional!
I have always enjoyed pushing my physical and mental beings. It is always interesting to see what the mind and body are still capable of doing, and to push the envelope on occasion for the total effect! You are always welcome to join in, experience a new endorphin rush, unleash a new mental avenue and enjoy the ride!!
Have a productive and totally enjoyable day!

Craziest Weather On The Planet

Montana has a tremendous amout to offer, from world-class outdoor activities to an incredible attitude and lifestyle, up to and including the most incredible scenery you can find anywhere! Now, the weather can leave somethings to be desired! 2 days ago, it's 85 and absolutely georgous. Yesterday, tornado warning along with large hail and weather in the 40's! Last night, it poured rain and it's continued through this morning....we won't talk about the winter weather, heck it's almost summer! And besides, anyone can put up with minus 40 and a little wind, right?
I hope everyone is having a wonderful day and will put a smile on at least one new face today!

Another Day Closer

Oh my, it has finally hit me! Here we are in the middle of June, and another day closer to the longest day of the year!
What happens after June 21st? The days start to get "shorter"....less and less precious sunlight! For those of you like me, solar powered that is, this can be a reality check of sorts. Are we half way in, or half way out? Half full, or half empty? Do we act or react?
Stay on the offense, make things happen and stay on the pedal on the far right...that would be the accelerator!! Make It Happen....today is another incredible day that allows us the time for incredible things!

Daily Guide To Conscious Living

Happy Friday!!
WOW!! Another incredible day awaits me! One of the most overlooked and underated aspects of our existence, in my mind, is the balance that a conscious life brings. Being at peace, having a clear and tolerant understanding of the universe, and sharing these with others who are less fortunate is what makes my world go around!
Begin and end your day with peaceful meditation. Whether it's a simple passage from a book or a few minutes of peaceful retrospection. Become aware of your surroundings, plan to succeed and find your inner self. Share your incredible energy and enlightening abilities with those that you attract!
Live, love, share, empower and enlighten each and every day!!

Another Beautiful Day

Another beautiful day is upon us! I absolutely love the mornings, the cool air, birds singing, that fresh smell and peaceful feeling! It's going to be another incredible day...new business for Xango, another awesome workout, love for my sweetheart in Sweden, and a special treatment today for the lawn! Today is fertilizer and thatching, a fresh start and a little nutrient session for the grass! This is something that should also be done for ourselves on a regular basis! Spend a little extra time for yourself, take care of yourself, pay attention to your health and wellness!!

Treat yourself and those around you to a bottle of Xango.....feel it, live it, share it!!

The Love Fueled Rollercoaster

It's great to be back after a couple days in Salt Lake City enjoying some awesome weather and a tour of the hottest new company on the planet....XanGo!!
I had the opportunity to spend the past week with a very, very special woman! Someone who I would marry right this second if she would simply say "yes"!! Although we have not had the luxury of spending more than 3 weeks out of the past 6 months together, and we live 6000 miles apart, I am totally in love! I had forgotten how the emotional highs and lows would come into the equation, and how much I still have to learn and pay attention to the things that I say! I have always been very straight forward, and spontaneous to a fault, and I have regrettably said a couple things that I would dearly love to take back!!
So, onward and upward......always remember that we sometimes say and do things to those "most special to us" that produce the completely wrong reaction! Never take love lightly, nor the feelings of someone so special to you!!

Have an awesome evening!

What An Incredibly Beautiful World!!

Wow!! I spent yesterday touring Yellowstone National Park, for maybe the 12th time!! Every time I venture into the "land of countless critters", I simply find myself totally consumed by the stunning natural beauty! Around every corner, another natural wonder, another stunned expression! I was fortunate to expose nature's masterpiece to a very close and loving friend, someone with whom I intend to spend the rest of my life with......she absolutely loves it! MarieLouise, from Stockholm, Sweden, is totally taken by her "friends", the countless variety and endless numbers of wildlife! Bison, Bighorn Sheep, Deer, Antelope, Elk, Coyote, Bear, Moose and a Wolf (if you are lucky)!!

Get out today and experience everything that nature has to offer....enjoy it and savor it!!

Periodize Your Life!!

Good Morning to all!! As I was getting ready for another incredible morning workout at Gold's, the thought crossed my mind......I periodize my routines on a very constant basis, why not do the same for the rest of my life's activities? I love change, so much so, that it's an ongoing challenge for me to try and always change my daily routines! Why do we change our weightlifting programs on a continuing basis? So that we "trick" our bodies into growing and improving!! So, let's change our mental and physical elements of ourselves, enabling them to change and grow also!!

Try it starting today.......have an incredible day and an awesome weekend!!

Happy Friday.....Go Xango!!

Happy Friday to everyone! I have always had this problem with constantly being in a great mood and, according to some, smiling way too much!! Ha! Could there be such a thing? Enjoy each and every moment, hour, day, week....you know the rest!

So, after 30 years of working for someone else (the American business model), I have made the transition to an unbelievable business project in the direct marketing arena. The name of this exceptional company is Xango! After only 4 1/2 short years in business, they are pacing with the likes of Google and Ebay in terms of growth. They are a single product company, producing and distributing an all-natural health and energy beverage. Finally, I can work on my wealth full time and my job only part time!!

Have an awesome day!!

There's Never A Finish Line!!


Why is mediocrity acceptable these days, almost to the point of being promoted!! Whatever happened to the days when we approached most endeavors with the attitude that "you either make dust or you eat it"!! That's right, don't take any prisoners......act, don't react.....stay on the offense....and when it was all said and done, we simply looked at our nemesis and uttered these simple words: "thanks for playin'....."
