A L M O S T all girls

i am on a trip to southern and mid california for my doTERRA business to train a few leaders and teach a class.  i came a day early to take some time to get grounded and have some much needed alone time.   the hotel i am staying in has a new state of the art gym with updated modern equipment and such but i decided to ditch the cold, lifeless gym here at the hotel and at 5:40 am, drove to sunset beach to watch the sun 'rise'.   while there, i took off my running shoes (since i don't run, this made perfect sense) and walked along the shoreline for my morning exercise.  i played a bit with the surf, trying to capture my toes in the sand with my uncooperative camera.  got wet (of course).  i then collected some seashells for the girls that will surely break in my suitcase on the way home.   i was smiling from ear to ear.  i haven't enjoyed something like this for a very long time.  i sure do love coming home....  here are a few highl...

so malcolm and i have been doing a pre-cleanse which in reality isn't much of anything other than taking some enzymes and vitamins in prep for the real cleanse. the real cleanse is supposed to help us wipe out the sugar in our diet and get healthy in a super strict way.  like everything organic and clean. uggh. i have my doubts about how well we will be able to keep at the 'no sugar' thing as our track records proves us to be rather unstable with it comes to sugar discipline. i am willing to give it another go and see how we do. until then, i am going to keep eating chocolate covered peanuts and i am sure malcolm will keep drinking coke. 3 days til we begin and it is on a day we have business bootcamp. success is questionable.

it has been over a year since i have blogged about anything.  important or otherwise.  since malcolm and i went into the business of being in business and the whole entrepreneur life, everything has changed.  we are busier than ever but not in a way that is unpleasant or displeasing.  we are enjoying the shift but change has a price.  the price for us has been how we spend our free time or lack thereof as of late. tonight i had a project to work on and i chose to watch a TV series instead.  i don't even know what the title is...something about a candle and a lark?  the bbc has great programming and while i am choosing to avoid my work (the script for a video series i am going to film tuesday) just 'being' is kind of nice for now. it is my intention to pick up some blog time in the near future as to chronicle the crazy mixed up activities of our life but until then...i'm going to sit and do nothing

 

Cleaning up this morning, I found a note on the floor in the kitchen. I think it is Ellie's. It reads: dear mom and dad, I *heart* you because you pack my luch every day exexpt wednesday (spelling errors included)

recently i had the girls photographed brie and jas in the summer  and just last month,  the three E's it had been a mere 8 years  since the last photo shoot here are just a few shots of the kids maybe i am biased  but i kind of think they turned out quite lovely         this probably won't happen again  f or another 8 years!
