Ok, I am totally embarrassed that I have not blogged since last December! So much as happened since then. I will make bullet points being that I am so far behind!
~ We got our preview book printed! YEAH!
~ Doing some planning, organizing and growing our new business ventures. We started our own publishing company (Greater Life Results)
This is the very short version of my reality. Truthfully, I have been through personal trials and hardships in my business and life in general. I am growing myself...which always is painful. Change is painful. But...it's good to grow and change.
Our non profit We Make a Difference Now, is in full swing getting prepared for our 5K, 10K and 1 mile fun run in West Jordan on July 3, 2010. We are having a hard time getting sponsors this year. Every business has cut their budget to the core-the economy has really taken a toll on everyone!
I have been working on over coming my fear of speaking in public by ...well...speaking! I also hired an AWESOME coach, in whom I love and trust. SHE ROCKS!
I will make it my goal to keep blogging more often. I need to be present and do what I enjoy-which is connecting with people-and communicating with you! Thanks so much for all your support and loving me...no matter what!
Love, Wendy

Remembering this Christmas
Ok...I Cannot believe Christmas has come and gone. Another year, gone by. Yea, yea...we've all heard our parents say this "the older you get, the faster time flys by". OMGosh, I am becoming my MOTHER. I just heard her say that to me in my head. YIKES!
Christmas was simple this year. No big commercialized gifts. It is actually distracting to gob up Christmas with material things. The company of one another was perfect. Friends, family, neighbors keeping it all simple and giving practical things. Most importantly, we are blessed with the presence of each other. I felt more love and gratefulness this year, which is the BEST gift anyone could ever receive.
An update on the rotator cuff surgery: I have been to 5 sessions of PT (physical therapy). I have advanced off the charts with my flexibility, recovery and strength. It's really quite AWESOME...yet, I see shock, and standoffish surprised looks on the therapist's as well as the surgeons' faces as they test my levels of improvement. They warn me to slow down and not rush it. I just shrug and tell them "don't worry, I will be fine." It's kinda funny, me reassuring them that I will be ok. LOL. It is honestly not a surprise to me that I have excelled so much this surgery. As I pray for recovery, I feel assurance of quick healing. I explain to Heavenly Father, I have to FINISH MY BOOK now-he obviously knows everything because he has really helped me get on with my life and not let surgery stop me. I will admit, as impatient as I am, I am still too slow...hey-but I do know that I better not complain. I have it MADE in the shade, baby! Thank you, God!
An update on my book "The Boss Of Myself": OK...that is a real hot spot. I REALLY REALLY want it finished now. It is all there, we (Jennifer and I) are arranging it in a different format. Before it was in chronological order...kinda blaaah-not so exciting. Now we are stirring it up so it's more juicy, giving it a little bit of back ground here and there. I really want to deliver SUPERB value to my readers by giving great insights, inspiring takeaways while keeping the story exciting. Believe me...this book has all OF ME POURED into it. How in the HECK will I squeeze more out of me for my next books? Don't worry, I have a great plan for them:) So TRUST me, my book will be soooo worth the wait. It's almost here!
All I can say is how grateful I am for now. All I have around me is perfect. I own a good healthy body. I have such a sweet, cute family. (Thanks Andrew, Hannah and Austin, Don't worry-your wife and momma will be back soon!) I have so many AWESOME friends who support me-even when I am a flaky goofus. I have a PERFECT business partner and friend assisting me (pretty much doing most of the work) on my book. (Thanks, Jennifer! Please continue to be patient with me...we are almost THERE!)
Thank you, my followers...without you-I would be blogging to myself...and that's no fun! I LOVE to share.
Happy NEW YEAR!!!
