Direction


Sometimes in life we think we are heading one way and we end up in a little different direction even though our thoughts remain focused on the end.

Direction, we all need it. Even if it is just to get started. 

Why make life harder that it has to be?

He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist.” ~ St. Francis of Assisi

Value

To realize The value of a sister/brother: Ask someone Who doesn't have one.

To realize The value of ten years: Ask a newly Divorced couple.

To realize The value of four years: Ask a graduate.

To realize The value of one year: Ask a student who has failed a final exam.

To realize The value of nine months: Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn.

To realize The value of one month: Ask a mother Who has given birth to a premature baby.

To realize The value of one week: Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.

To realize The value of one minute: Ask a person Who has missed the train, bus or plane.

To realize The value of one second: Ask a person Who has survived an accident.

To realize the value of a friend or family member: LOSE ONE.

Time waits for no one. Treasure every moment you have. Take chances, laugh often, be passionate about something, go for your dreams!

The author is unknown, as well as I have added my thoughts. This is one of those serendipitous moments that just spoke to me. If it spoke to you a well, think about why...WHY are you on this earth? Are you here to live or you here to THRIVE?

30 Day Commitment


It didn’t start out to be a 30 day commitment,

I just couldn’t help but see the signs. 


Sunday’s Post on Facebook

I've decided to take these next 30 days and commit to being open to the serendipity that has been happening in my life. I know that we all have a path to follow; what I would like to do is see how obvious it can be :-)
Yesterday was wonderful!
I worked, spent time with my children, had a date night with my love and ended up at a presentation by Ian Putney of the Wellington Chiropractic about the toxins to avoid in today’s food supply. Interesting that there was an internet article written the same day that you can read here. It was an eye opener to where we are headed if people don’t take action. It really made me think I was on the right path with ASEA. If I don’t share the message of hope and healing, who will?  

Today was a lot of fun as well.
I started the day off with kissing the family goodbye and heading to BNI. My afternoon was spent working in a special way. I am in the process of growing a Tribe with my girl friends so we had our weekly mastermind call. We have been trying out different things and this week Kimberly decided to get on the video chat. Have you ever done that before in a business setting? I must say, I have not! It is always great to connect with the tribe but seeing my beautiful friend made it even more special. The serendipitous part was when Monique shared about her friend and his eye. It triggered something in me. The Vision I guess you can say. The eye around the moon, the watchful eye that’s been constant in my life.

It will be interesting to see what tomorrow brings.

Weekend therapy

If someone ask you, 

What have you been up to?

How would you respond ?


I was recently ask this very question.

I had finished my taxes and was feeling really good about all the tax deductions I was able to take as a Independent Associate with ASEA. It was also after a night of serving at our church and then going to my friend’s birthday party. All I could think of was, I love my life. I feel so blessed to be on this journey, at this very moment.

So, I thought, what would be a reasonable answer to such a common question. The only obvious answer came to mind so I responded, Just playing around and having fun. It felt good to say it that way, and I can’t imagine my life any other way. I love to work and contribute, I just don’t want it to feel like work!

Some of what I’d like to share on this blog is things that I have found that help me.

Balance is key.

You must renew and recharge to be able to give of yourself.

I am so grateful for the loving support of my family and friends. I realize that people are in your life for a reason and I am in awe of the people that God has placed in my life.

I have a deep passion in my life, and I absolutely love sharing my life with others. So, this weekend is just a little piece of my life that gives me joy.

Me, working in the office on a new video. 

It was fun and I’m looking forward to sharing it with you!

If you are looking for something in your life and want to feel good and have fun, I would love to talk with you. I am serious about finding business partners that are looking for the same in life and want to be blessed for their efforts.

True to the Title




Metamorphosis


I guess I should have named this blog, The Days of Metamorphosis. It seems like I’m always evolving, always growing in faith, knowledge and love. 

Today I want to share about ASEA. We are coming out on Tuesday, yes THIS week with a game changing TOOL. I can’t tell you how excited I am that to be a part of this company, at this time. 

What I have found is, many people frown upon joining a young company. Although we are a young company, we have a product and leadership that has never been done before and I have complete faith in the journey I have chosen. In the past three years, I have been able to sit down with the owners of the company, look them in the eye and tell them my reputation is on the line and I could not bear to do harm to anyone. 

With the unwavering conviction of a life changing product coupled with an opportunity of a lifetime, and now a tool to go with it, I can hardly stand waiting until Tuesday!

Balance

We must have balance in our lives to survive...


By nature I like to work. I was raised in the 70’s and everyone pitched in then. It was fun, hanging out with my family, not a care in the world. My dad was an electrician so there was always plenty to do for him, and I liked to help whenever I could. It seemed like he was always building something, or we were going camping, and you know everyone has to pitch in then! So, you get it, if I like what I am doing, it doesn’t seem like work at all and I want to do it all the time :-).

What I have found though, is balance is one of the keys to success. I want to play and have fun but I realize if I am going to make a difference in this world, I don’t want to do it on a small scale. Raising a growing family, as well as having two jobs has its challenges of course, but we make our dreams become reality one choice at a time. Right now I am choosing to let Go and let God take care of my life knowing that I am well cared for as I choose to share my success with others.

I have been blessed to partner with so many people that have enriched my life, in so many ways, than I ever thought possible. I feel this new support system of friends and family in my life has brought a lot of balance to me. A place to check in...

If you’ve been longing for something more in your life and you’re just not sure what it is, stick around an see if you like what you see. I’m always looking for partners that have a big heart and a caring attitude. 

I’d love to connect with you on Facebook!

Spirit Control


This weekend had a lot of meaning for me. 

It was one that I had set aside to spend with my daughter at an Art Retreat. 

It’s amazing how God works... I got a call earlier in the day requesting that I be on a conference call to introduce a system we’ve been waiting on for the last 6 months. I had to make a decision; honor the commitment I had to my daughter, or take the call and hear first hand what lies in my future. Let me tell you, I hated to miss the call but when you have an 11 year old who expects you to be present when you say you are, this was my time to be the example I speak about so much.

It’s one of the moments where you have to Let Go, and Let God be in control, and I did just that. Two days filled with Spiritual interactions with each other and God. It was a time of prayer, meditation and creation. It was soul filling...

My message to you is, take time to see where the Spirit leads you. See where you can connect and let your authentic shine. I do believe when you take the time to REALLY be present, you are a gift.

Tree of Life

My daughter and I creating lasting memories.

Blessings, Kathy

PS, The new system is amazing and I can’t wait to share it with you!

“God made the world for the delight of human beings-- if we could see His goodness everywhere, His concern for us, His awareness of our needs: the phone call we've waited for, the ride we are offered, the letter in the mail, just the little things He does for us throughout the day. As we remember and notice His love for us, we just begin to fall in love with Him because He is so busy with us -- you just can't resist Him. I believe there's no such thing as luck in life, it's God's love, it's His.”
