Our Distant Goal

It is for us to pray not for tasks equal to our powers, but for powers equal to our tasks, to go forward with a great desire forever beating at the door of our hearts as we travel toward our distant goal. 

Helen Keller

We were out of town the greater part of last week and this weekend and the week before that I was completely crashed out with a cold. I had a lot of that deep fatigue and joint pain back and all I wanted to do was sleep. My inclination is to look at this month (which is just a little more than half over) as a wash out.  I have to keep telling myself that the only way that I will fail is if I just give up. I know that I can't lose 45 more lbs overnight and that I won't build a business in a month but I've STARTED! I have had the courage to take the leap and now I need to keep finding the courage to build my business one day and one phone call at a time. I must continue to press on towards that distant goal!  

SeaSource Detox Spa

Starting Monday I plan on doing the full week program for the SeaSource Detox spa.  After a walk this morning with the family that involved getting swarmed by mosquitoes I took advantage of my hubby being home and decided to try these products for the first time.  As of now I have a new favorite Arbonne product(s).  The Renewing Body Gelee. Where has this been all my life???  And the Re-mineralizing Body lotion, WOW!!!  I'm in love.  I followed the directions for day 1 that come with the spa set and I feel scrubbed, polished and completely refreshed.  It was so good to get some quiet time for myself and know the kids weren't swinging from the ceiling fan.  I can't wait to follow the 7 day program and see how I feel at the end of next weekend.  And can I just say, I'm LOVING my job right now.  I love that my "work" is to do research by taking time for myself to try products that make me feel so good and relax in a warm bath.  Does it get any better???

It's September!!

My September got off to a great, though muggy and hot start!  I kicked it off with a 5.25 mile walk with an amazing friend, I got super inspired for the HOLIDAYS on a training call today, got a shower, went to the zoo AND the grocery store!!

Here are some of my personal goals for this 30 days:

1. Take my vitamins!! Seems SO basic but I lack consistency.

2. Pick two business related books to read.

3. Consistency with working out, at least 3 days a week walk or run.  Strength training 3 days too. 

4. Keep pushing to shed pounds, if I REALLY push hard I can get close to my ultimate goal weight.

5. Get plugged into a Bible study or quiet time, I need to stay connected and refreshed. 

6. Organize and clean my room and bathroom, create a sanctuary of calm and quiet in my living space. With three little ones this can be difficult to do.

7. Keep reaching out to others, not just as business prospects but just to let them know that someone cares.

8. Use the Detox Spa kit consistently for a week, planning on this starting Monday.

As far as the business side of things goes my good, great and awesome goals are this:

Good: 5 parties and 3 new preferred clients

Great: 8 parties, 2 new consultants and 3 new preferred clients

AWESOME!: 10 parties, 4 new preferred clients and 3 consultants
