This has been intresting and I no longer will have time to post anything. 

Being home and working from home is not for everyone , so I am back to work in the outside world and loving it. 

I did learn something that people only see and hear what they want out of things and can always take one persons positive experience and turn it into a big negative. 

Thank you to those who read my blog. 

The Art of Letting Go

These last few weeks have been wonderful. I have started being only accountable to myself.

Wonderful feeling! I love my morning walks with my dogs, the world is so peaceful at 6 am. I am also feeling more productive, and alive. I am getting so much done each day that I am going to sleep with a sence of accomplishment.

I am looking forward to trying to start new ventures in life, as the Epicure and Arbonne are only the beginnings of more things to come.

Have a great week.

Learning to Let Go...

I am learning new things this week.. It is ok not to be in control of all situations at all times. Not so easy for my inner control freak. I have found that sometimes the univers know better and that if you just let things happen they are far better than you can ever imagine.

I have found that Chillie and I walking at the unheard of hour of 6 am is a wonderful way to start the day. The walks are so wonderful and peaceful , the ocean is amazing and I really love watching the world wake up. Of course this is all done after that first cup of coffee.

Another weekend is upon us and I am looking forward to enjoy the sun and all the world has to bring .

The Chillie Adventure

So It has been a bit since I have had time to sit down and write..

Time to change this up, I am thinking that there are so many positive things in my life that I need to start focusing on them not all the drama and bull that can consume us.

The first thing that is a big surprise to me is how much my very hyper and strong will Vizsla and made me really evaluate what is important.( I was in no way a real dog person before we got him)  He has so much love to give and lives so in the moment that you can not help but put a smile on your face when he come running at you wagging his tail and bringing you a toy to play with him. His favorite trick in the morning is to not get out of bed if I am just getting a coffee but take over the warm spot hoping I forget to come back. Chillie has been a real joy to all of us and has filled our near empty nest house with activity again.

I still find myself searching for something to do to make my life feel useful to me not just to other people.

I am selling Epicure Selection, which is fun and exciting getting to try all the new products. I am also selling Arbonne , a wonderful pure line of products . I am feeling very slow off the hop to do this in a big way. I need to stop being so shy and afraid of people in order for these ventures to work.

The summer is close and we got a great taste of it this week, looking forward to many great adventures and meeting lot s of new and exciting people.

Take care

Spring - A time of many changes ..

We are making many changes this spring. I am really enjoying selling Epicure, it is so nice to be back out there and being involved with people and making new friends. I am also giving selling Arbonne a shot, so far I love the product and hope to be having my first party soon. 

I really thought not working out side the home was going to be the ultimate !! turns out not so much I thinking going out of the house everyday is a much easier way to earn a living. When you work from home you never feel like you have a real job and no one believes you really do anything. I think my days are more exhausting and the emotional toll is far more taxing. 

There are many other changes to come and I am looking forward to a amazing spring and summer of 2012, I love meeting up with old friends from the past and reconnecting the dots that have made my life what it is today. 

2012 is a year full of change...

2012 is off to a roaring start with life keeping that ever changing pace.. 

I have started off on a couple of new ventures , I will be selling Epicure spices, and am currently looking for a part time job.

As the months go on I feel like I am letting my mind go to mush, do not get me wrong I love all the great people I have met walking my dog and how much Chillie has made me get out of the house. 

But it is time for me to maybe start a second career, find something I am passionate about. 

When Do We Cut the Cord!

When is the right time to tell your kids they need to start being more independent?

I think in this day and age full of divorce and split families we are all so worried our kids will not like us if we do not do all the things they want. Are we really helping or just doing more harm to already dysfunctional children. We are enabling them from being functional.

So who are we really hurting? I know we can never stop being a parent but when do we stop feeling like we have to make everyone happy when the truth is they do not really care about any one but themselves.

Hope the first week of 2012 has been treating you well.

Starting off the New Year Right

Well Jan 3 and I think that 2012 will be a great year. I love where we live , we went for a 2 hour trail walk with the dogs and had to strip off layers.. Bike riding tomorrow if the weather holds up.

I am starting a new program Isagenix , I hope this will help jump start my weight goals along with the other programs I am in. My husband and I are doing this together we thought that might be safer than just one.. we can both be cranky together...

I am also going to look at some home based business ideas, I am thinking something to do with event planning would be great, I love working with people.

It is really nice to have life go back to normal, kids all in school and house back to a normal dull roar. I look forward to a new year with new challanges and changes.

Happy New Year....

A new year is upon us, what will your resolutions be???

I know for me a big one will be to live my own life and not let the drama of others in my life be my problem. I think this will help me to clear my mind, body and soul of clutter.

I do feel stuck in a rutt right now so wish me luck digging out.

Happy New Year to everyone and my 2012 be one of your best years yet.

The Holiday Season

Well we survived another Christmas, and no matter what we seem to over spend! I am not sure why we let this happen , as none of us in this family are in need of anything.

I am glad it is over and looking forward to a bright 2012, I want to move forward this year and start finding out who I am and what I want to be. I am not going let everyone elses drama get in my way.

I have started selling a couple of products for health and wellness so if you are intrested call me and we can talk. I am determined to get down to my goal weight... it is getting closer every day and I managed to not gain any over the christmas feasts.

Happy New Year to all..

Thanksgiving 2011

Well we made it through another Thanksgiving, this year we had many special guests, with the help of my daughter we created a wonderful feast.

I am still struggling with discovering me again, but I think that everyday I am choosing to discover myself.

I am reading a wonderful book called the power of belief, the mind is an amazing tool and I am going to put mine to good use.

A very busy week ahead of us in this house, I hope to accomplish many wonderful things.

The Fear of Moving forward.

Why are we afraid to fail?? or I know I am , I have not worked outside of the house for 18 months. I really thought this would be fun, I would get out there and try new things, explore options for a home business. Instead I am frozen by fear, and this in turn is taking me backwards.

I did not want this to happen ; ( . I am getting so much advice from others that I have no idea what I would really like to do, the one thing I do know is that I want to do something that makes me feel fufulled and happy to have been part of this world every day , also that I can go to bed at night feeling good about who I am .

I will be researching on ways to make this happen as I would also like my husband to be home alot more than he currently is. So ideas are always welcome.

Summer to date

It has been a while since I have had time to do this... I think maybe it was the energy more so.

I find I let myself get caught up in what everyone wants not what I would like for myself.

I think this is making me figure out what I want to do more difficult as I let everyone's suggestions be the one... When did I loose my ability to think? I know it is there someplace just have to go on a hunt for it again.

When does the ex drama go away? It seems that even when the kids grow up some ugly remnant of our past lives pop's up to greet us.

Well time to move on to something new and exciting September will be my month to shine and rejoin the world of the sucessfull.

Pressure...

Why do we always make things worse for ourselves than need be? I know for me I get all worked up about things I have not done and forget to even feel good about the things I have done.

I only see the unfinished or unachieved not the achieved .. so going forward today I am going to start being more grateful for what I can do and focus more on accomplishing new things not looking  back at the old.

What a mess....

Well what a mess a few bad eggs have created in downtown Vancouver. I could never really understand why people feel they are entitled to break, steal and destroy things that do not belong to them?

My heart goes out to all those who have suffered in this.

What are your thoughts about what went down and why people do this.

What is a week with out Drama????

I have often wondered what a week in life would be like without Drama.... and have I let being caught up in soloving all the family Drama stop me from doing something more exciting.. If so that needs to stop... 

You would think by now in life things would have setteled down but yet every week some new curve ball seems to come our way and surprise , surprise we all live. I have a big adventure this week... heading up to Fort McMurray, not sure I can handle the excitment. 

Let me know , how you handle family drama, I think I could use some new ideas. 

The Kids are wondering who I am

Well my kids think I am going crazy... they were shocked to see I knew what a blogg was and yes even I have a twitter account...

Off to walk my puppy, I enjoy the walks so much as I meet so many intresting people..

Not much on the discovery path but got all our finance sorted out.

My First Year off...

Well this last year I was given a gift by my husband.... To quit my job and stay home and find out what I want to do when I grow up... Who knew this would be so hard, in my quest to find out what it was I wanted to do , I have ended up accomplishing nothing. Sad but true.. 


I have let what everyone else wanted and needed be my excuse for not do anything..... So going forward I want to be far more productive, and maybe if I feel accountable to something I will get my butt in gear. 


Being "retired"at 42 sounds like a dream job... I thought so as well the first few mornings I did not have to get up at 6 am and be out the door for 7... With 2 kids still living at home and a new puppy my day just seemed to be consumed in a different way and to fill the void of being alone I learned to really like the spa... 


Boo hoo right I always thought how lucky those people were that got to work from home or even stay home... 


Today is the first day of my journey to doing what I want to do when I grow up.
