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!!

Live, laugh and love!

Hawaii?

What in the world.....in my email this morning is an inquiry from my mother in Texas wanting to know what I think about her purchasing some real estate in Hawaii, and would I be willing to spend some time there if she follows through!! This has been the month of pretty crazy events....

I am off to study, check on some new follow up regarding my Xango business, and make some calls to "the Universe"........yeehaw!!

Happy Weekend


I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend....it's the last one in July! In preparation of my upcoming studying for my new personal training certification, I escaped for a couple days and simply got some sun and relaxed! Monday starts the beginning of a new chapter, and then next week it's off to Texas and a long overdue trip to see mom....

I hope everyone is in great health, and even better spirits....live, laugh and love!

Here We Go!!


What an incredible day!! I just finished up a phone call with a company called Dynamic, Inc. They provide complete wellness programs to corporations throughout the US. I applied for a position as a corporate personal trainer/fitness advisor. The human resources department has recommended me for a position, and I am going to test for it and finalize the hiring process by mid-September! It's the perfect career change, perfect opportunity and perfect timing!! I could not be happier!!

To your health! Live, laugh and love!!

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!!

More Fishing


Alright!! I have had a favorable response to my initial resume work, having received some followup by a couple companies! Today I spent a considerable amount of time creating an awareness regarding my edsire to coach soccer, sending my information out on a few sites that specialize in that. Tomorrow is followup day, MLM day, and new contact day! Remember, you never have to wish me "luck' because luck has nothing to do with anything that I do!!

The Texas trip is scheduled for August 8-12.........yeehaw!

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.

Stay tuned, I'll post the progress and eventual outcome.....

Rose Colored Glasses

Outstanding! The new cover letters and resumes are officially out, please check www.monster.com to view them! I have always been a huge proponet of change, but this new "evolution" of mine has truly captured my interest!! Contemplating a major career change after so many years, selling the new home, trying to envision a new living arrangement, and where is this process going to take me.....bring it on!!

Things always seem to come full circle at some point, closing the gap between what was and what is.....that sounds pretty deep!! I am going full circle right back to a simplified lifestyle, not wanting to ever have to make a six-figure income just to survive!! Whew!!

Live, laugh, and love!!

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!

Live, laugh and love!

The First Day of the Rest of....

I am anxious for today, getting started on my new path and revised direction of my existence! I will be sending off resumes, having my home viewed by a group of realtors, review and revise my workouts for the upcoming quarter, and cleaning up a few loose ends....finality and closure are wonderful things, as is change and a fresh outlook!

Always try and take a regular inventory of your life, and make the necessary adjustments to ensure a peaceful and productive existence!!

Live, laugh and love!!!!

Back To Reality


Happy Monday!! The middle of July is here, and after today I can finally get back to my normal routine after having guests for over a week....I do enjoy having friends stop by, but it gets to be a bit much, especially when so much in my life is in flux now! I am looking forward to selling the house, downsizing my life and getting back to a simpler existence. Time for me, time to not have to work to live, time to get my retirement(Xango) in order, and time to see the world!!

Remember, each and every day: live, laugh and love!!

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!!

Inquire Within


Happy Friday!! Well, it is time for a great and wonderful series of changes in my life! I have listed my custom home for sale, having lived in it for a very short 2 years. 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.

If you happen to know anyone looking for an exceptional individual with a very unselfish personality, a wealth of fitness knowledge and a true passion for "simply making a difference", please contact me at mtoofit@hotmail.com !!

Tourist Time


Hello again! I have been entertaining new visitors to Montana this week, and it's great fun to be able to get involved in all of the "tourist" activities that we seem to let pass us by! Today is a hike to Lava Lake, after a trip to Chico Hotsprings Resort yesterday! First, a relaxing lunch at the Garage Restaurant, a great hike and then a superb dinner at Boodles! Some of the finest food on the planet can be found at Boodles, we had a light snack last night that consisted of a cold honeydew and mint soup that was off the charts!!

Off to explore, have some wonderful food and miingle with some exceptional Montana folks!! Have a super day, spread your smile around and always.....live, laugh and love!!

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!
Forget talking about the BIG CHANGE, let's do it!!

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!!

Here We Go!!

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!!
