"Under Construction... Sights & Sounds of Prosperity"

Ok...so I live in an older part of town...some houses date back into the late 1800's. A Pretty cool, once quiet, small farm type community. Mature trees, old cars parked in yards, the smell of horses and hay linger in the gentle breezes past my shady back yard...then...BANG, ROARRR, BZZZZTTT ...GROUND SHAKING-a flume of DUST blows past my rattling windows.
Yes, the old neighborhood is going the way of the "world"...commercial buildings GALORE. Pretty sad, yet part of life. It's all taking place RIGHT NEXT DOOR. I am NOT wanting to face the inevitable of this old house, built in 1938 by my husbands grandfather. Yes, with his own hands, for his wife, in whom he must have cherished to so lovingly put into place- every single nail, glass brick and handmade bookshelf , I'm sure, at her request.
As upsetting as this reality is drawing near- I do accept this as man's desire to create, improve and move forward in the world. I think as long as we still appreciate what has gone before us-the hard, old fashioned work, the "sweat of thy brow" and we instill this in our own lives...then we have never left anything good behind. We can adopt what we have learned and benefit from those who have worked so hard for us. The same theory applies to us as our internal "self" moves forward, upward, improving and growing...we always remember where we came from. Appreciate what you have gone through to become what you ARE AND WHAT YOU ARE BECOMING! Be exceedingly GRATEFUL to those who we learn from... who have made our lives easier by "building a house" for us to appreciate and enjoy...until the time comes for improvement and change. Yet never forget the simple. The "old house"...built on a foundation of true love.
Love you all!

Public Speaking...OH MY!

Hello everyone!
So blogging is pretty easy...just let the ol'feelins and words flow...just keep typing, type, type, type. OK...then there is public speaking. YIKES. I must admit that this is MY GREATEST FEAR in the WORLD. I would rather have a ROOT CANAL..or GIVE BIRTH TO A 10 POUND WATER MELON! I really don't know the exact reason I am so afraid...just all these eyes looking at me and waiting to hear something "intelligent" come out of my mouth????? AHHHHH! I FEEL MY WHOLE body and MIND SEIZE UP...sorta like I would imagine my car would without any oil in it for like a YEAR! Might have something to do with NOT KNOWING WHAT TO SAY that will make logical sense when my mind is going like 5 o'clock rush hour in LA! Probably doesn't HELP ANY to have ADHD!!!! So focus, again, I think is one of the answers...how do I do that when my mind is buzzing like a beehive 24/7? Another thing I need is..practice, practice, practice...what is that saying...practice makes perfect? So that's what I did today-be so proud of me! I actually got up and spoke in front of a few hundred people-voluntarily at church! WOW! Don't ask me how I did, can't remember, don't even know exactly what I said...all I know is I DID IT, and I AM PROUD THAT I EVEN STOOD AT THE PODIUM AND SPOKE INTO THE MICROPHONE! One step closer to getting that OLD FEAR out of MY WAY OF SUCCESS! I will be so HAPPY when I feel comfy enough to get up and actually speak FROM MY HEART. My heart is good and full of beauty...I can't WAIT TO GET to EXPRESSING WHAT'S IN MY HEART...the real "ME"...MY SPIRIT SELF! Meanwhile, will you all please bare with me and be patient?
Thanks all-I love each of you!

Yea! Book is Almost Done!!!

Hello my friends & family!
The time is drawing nearer for my book. I can't wait. It's my story. Pretty plain and simple and very personal. I know my expectations are always so high for ME. I know this is a bad thing because it has stifled me from completing many really awesome projects in my life. I am a perfectionist, therefore, what I do is never up to my expectations. Thus, I fail to finish many projects that I have started. Not ANYMORE. I DID start and will FINISH this book...and books to follow. I hope to help and inspire others to realize they have it "in" them to accomplish what they wish! I MUST, THEREFORE, BE AN EXAMPLE AND GET THIS BOOK OUT THERE FOR THE BENEFIT THOSE THAT NEED THE INFORMATION!
I want to thank my family and my friends who DO believe in me and my seemingly crazy ideas. I know my ideas are not your common goals-but they ARE BIG and I truly know I NEED TO DO THESE THINGS. I thank you for being patient with me. I know I haven't "been" there for a lot of you when I should have been...I am grateful for you sticking with me anyway. I promise that things will all work out and I will be loyal and grateful to you forever!
-Love, Wendy

MY FULL POTENTIAL!

Wow! It's friday already! So what have I accomplished this week? Not as much as I wanted to. Seems as though my life is pulled in so many directions, here and there...family, church, businesses ( I have 1 main business I draw my income from for the past 25 years-now 3 more ventures I am starting up!) I try to narrow my focus into just a couple of things..but what do I "give up"? I WANT IT ALL!!!!!! I WANT TO DO IT ALL!!!! I WANT TO HAVE IT ALL!!!!
I think that my greatest joy in this life would be to KNOW I DID EVERYTHING I WANTED TO DO AND HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH THE ABILITY TO DO! My greatest fear in life is NOT reaching MY FULL POTENTIAL! I was blessed with endless potential-as we all are. It would be a shameful waste to "sit on the couch" and do NOTHING with our talents and abilities. What a selfish thing it would be for ME to keep my TALENTS hidden from the WORLD!
I OWE it to the world to get my book finished to share my personal experiences. It's my RESPONIBILITY to reach individuals going through similar life experiences that I AM going through and have already GONE through. If I make a difference to just ONE HUMAN BEING who has read my book-IT WAS WORTH IT TO SHARE IT! We are in THIS TOGETHER... why not help each other? I AM IN CONTROL OF MY OWN DESTINY. ONLY I CHOSE WHAT TO DO WITH MY POTENTIAL. I hope and pray every DAY that I can work on reaching my goals, in which I have set the bar pretty high for myself. I hope I accomplish all that I know I CAN! AFTER ALL....I AM THE BOSS OF MYSELF!

I WANT TO HELP!

Good evening my friends! How was your weekend? What weekend I ask? I don't remember much of mine...I happened to have had a reaction to an antibiotic called "Levequin" that caused me much trouble. It caused me so much confusion and unhealthy thinking...I hardly remember driving places. Without going into too much...I needed to be picked up and driven by my good friend who took me to her home, took us in and made sure my children were ok. Thanks! I owe her much-and hope to repay her in some way for her "being there" for me. Needless to say, The medication is wearing off and I'm back to "ME". This experience did teach me some things about the human body. I felt very depressed and sad-like a big black cloud was following me around. I thought about people who experience this "chemical" imbalance in their own body make up-on a daily basis. Mental illness-I felt it. What a hard thing to live with and overcome. I feel blessed and lucky that all I had to do is "stop" taking the medication and I was back to "normal" (well I'm not exactly what I would consider normal). These people don't have that benefit...they live with it daily. I wished I could help them! I have a new love and respect for these individuals. I've had a small glimpse into what they must feel. I will pray for them & when I have all the Millions and Billions of dollars I WILL receive from my BOOKS and other ventures-I promise to open a clinic for these people! Mark my words...here it is in black and white! You all e-mail me with some ideas on what to call this place!
Good night! I love you all!
Wendy

What I do TODAY... IMPACTS my TOMORROW!

I am so grieved at this point I think I will express it here. I am ready for a huge change in my life again...a good one. I have spent my day in chaos and confusion. I need to organize and streamline my business & MYSELF. I am as guilty as anyone for this problem. I am working on it-but sometimes its just discouraging that the progress seems so slow. I need to be a better instructor, delegator-and let people take on the responsibility even if they make a mistake...I need to let go to trust and allow employees to grow.
After a hard knock day, I came home and ran over my cat of 17 years. It was one of the saddest days of my life! I had to go to the clinic and have our "Scamper" put down as I stood by and watched His life pass. Not a fun thing-but I realize this is all part of Life!
What I "DO" with all that happened today will impact "MY" tomorrow. I will take each and every single thing that happened today (good and bad) and learn something from it. I have experienced new and different things today-and I will be a better person for all of them. I MUST improve-I have to EXCEL...If we don't know "bad" how can we savor the "good". Life is GREAT!
what's that saying about lemons??? If life gives you lemons-make lemonade?
Have a great Day!
Love, Wendy

..."Now WHAT was I DOING????"....

Good evening everyone.
Tonight-I'm feeling silly...so I will poke some fun at my silly SELF! How about we make fun of my ADHD? Ok-so someone out there who has a struggle with this-tell me how you "FOCUS"? I get up to do perform a task-let's say-put my lunch in the microwave at work. So I open the plastic box-in which my "tastes like cardboard" lunch evolves, shove it in the oven for 3 minutes... then throw the wrapper in the gargage. So I notice the gargage is plum full and over flowing with trash...I start to take the garbage to the dumpster outside and notice that weeds are starting to grow in the cracks of the sidewalk...so I set the garbage sack down and start pulling those nasty weeds. Then I notice those weeds are turning my hands green and I proceed back inside to wash my hands in the restroom...in which I look in the mirror and wonder "NOW WHAT WAS I DOING????" That is my LIFE!! AH...the life of ADHA! Too bad there is not a "task fairy" I can put in my back pocket to ZAP ME IN MY BUTT when I begin to "wander" and stray from the INTENDED task!
So that's what life is sorta like, I think, sometimes. We just "wander around aimlessly, bumping into walls"...getting off task. Think of ALL WE EACH CAN ACCOMPLISH just by taking charge of OUR DAY, TIME, THOUGHTS (FIRST AND FOREMOST OUR THINKING). How hugely successful I know I could be with "FOCUS". Any suggestions, my friends???? HELP ME!
Have a great night! I love you all!
Love, Wendy
P.S. I think my lunch is STILL IN THE MICROWAVE!!!

"Getting it" RIGHT..in your HEAD!

WOW-How life is going so fast...What a great ride! I would like to discuss "getting it right in your head".
I have been blessed in my life to have the most awesome friend, Jennifer. I met her last Feb. as I started attending the local gym in which I was seeking further self improvement. After losing about 5o lbs over a year and a few months time, I was ready to take my physical body to the next level-so I researched the posted advertisements for a personal trainer at the gym. Her name and her printed description caught my eye-I gave her a call. From the first time I met with her (my new personal trainer)-I knew we were destined to not only meet each other, but to somehow work together to help others. I know it sounds kind of "out there" but I KNEW all along she was a part of something bigger than just her and I. Through these few months we have known each other (I feel I have known her all my life!), we have been a part of some very rewarding charity work. We are forming a non profit organization as well as other great things in the works that will help millions of people realize the gifts they have been born with. As Jennifer says " My passion is to help people to feel better, be healthy, and realize what their true potential is...my reward is when they finally "get it".
It's all about getting it right in your head FIRST...all of the wonderful things you are capable of will follow. When you want the "best" fruit from a tree-you always start at the roots. Feed it, water it, cultivate it, take care of it and the results are the best fruit in the whole world! Same with your thinking-YOU start where your thinking begins! YOU are a result of what you think. If you change your thinking...you change YOUR RESULTS! Weight loss, weight gain, physical appearance, financial situations, relationships, everything....reflects YOU. Take your THOUGHTS BACK! TAKE YOUR LIFE BACK! You are IN CONTROL of YOU! DO SOMETHING GREAT! You are blessed with the ability to do GREAT THINGS! YOU ARE THE BOSS OF YOURSELF! "Get it" right in your head first-your inborn potential is wonderful beyond your comprehension! Remember that everyday and live accordingly! YOU ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME WHAT YOU HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE!
Goodnight!
Love,
Wendy

SURROUND myself with POSITIVE!

Where has my day gone? I let the day take control of me again...I must practice better time management so I can continue being "The Boss of Me"...I wear several hats these days. I am starting some new and awesome ventures with some great people I have attracted into my life. I have been looking to surround myself with hopeful, positive, motivated and energized individuals that I can help and that will help uplift me and build me up to be the person I strive to be. My prayers have been answered and are still being answered for this desire. I have never in my life met so many AWESOME, as described above, individuals! You all know who you are and I thank YOU for all YOU ARE! I am blessed as well as grateful every single day I wake up to all that I have been given. THANK YOU!
Keep in touch-I will let you in on more later!
Love, Wendy

Happy along the way!

Good Mornin All!
Yes-It IS the monday morning workout...running to the gym and lifting and home again. This is my "hard" day. Wish me luck!
Did you all have a great weekend? Wow! What beautiful fall weather here in Utah! We went for a drive up the canyon to look at our new foundation on our cabin. Guess what I think I saw??? Leaves beginning to change color! WHERE DID MY SUMMER GO??????? Fall is a time of reflection of the past, for me. I remember getting ready to get back into school, moving back to college, and anticipating the snow flying sooner than I thought. Then, I look back with my new outlook on life and am feel so fortunate for all I have NOW! I'm HAPPY...happy along the way!
Have a great Monday family and friends!
Love, Wendy

Interdependance...TAKING "ME" to the next LEVEL

Good morning everyone! It's a beautiful sunny fall morning here-I can't believe summer is OVER! I really enjoy outdoor running-not looking forward to the "Dreadmill"...oh I mean the treadmill! OK. Sorry-keep it positive, Wendy! I had a great workout this morning. I try to make it to the gym 5 days a week to lift weights and get some good cardio in. I like to run to the gym, which is 3 miles each way. I only run 3 days a week right now-but want to increase to 4.
So, while working out this morning, I listened to Stephen R. Covey's "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People". Awesome book-by the way-a great read! I am working on total independance, which is basically mastering myself. I want to achieve the next step...the ultimate step-of "interdependance"-which is helping each other achieve our goals together as a team. I LOVE this concept! I LOVE to help other's! There is nothing more satisfying than helping someone with a lofty goal and the drive to achieve that goal, and in some way I CAN HELP THEM REACH THAT GOAL! WOW! That is MY purpose & my passion-to help and inspire others to do what they really want...TO TAKE CHARGE of their lives...ultimately to become"THE BOSS OF YOURSELF"!
Have a great friday EVERYONE!
Love, Wendy

Sure things happen "to Us" but what matters most is what you do about those things whether they are good or bad things...we are ultimately in charge of our actions. Take responsibility! You can do what you "dream"...make tiny steps everyday and intend what you really want! ALWAYS be grateful for what YOU HAVE!
You're not alone on your quest to be The Boss Of Yourself! Just ask, you will be surprised how much support you will receive! YOU are your own worst critic-start being your own "BEST FRIEND & SUPPORTER"! Go ahead say it out loud..."I AM THE BOSS OF MYSELF"! Now doesn't that feel GREAT?
