My Wish for You in 2009

Wow, what an incredible year and as it is coming to a close I have been reflecting on what has happened and each event has made me a better person. I have continued to grow my Liberty League business, watched Vanesa flourish with her photgraphy and also started instructing karate. It has been so amazing to watch the 5 most important people in my life grow through their experiences this year.


Noah 3, is growing into his personality and that is always so fun to watch. He has jokes, sad faces and mad faces. I love the mad faces the most because a big hug always follows and I think they are cutest. He is talking up a storm and loves to have conversations with everyone. He is starting to work on addition, GO NOAH!!! He also just jumped on the Karate mat this Friday for a class at Ninja Night, he is ready to join the rest of the family on the mat.


Christian 6, started Kindergarten this year, how fast the time flies. He is at the top of his class in every category, including talking, lol. We all knew that was going to happen, and that's one of the many things I love about him. He is still a character and always knows what he wants with such a certainty that it constantly inspires me to stretch myself, so thank you for that my Christian.


Marcus Jr. 8, has become quite the student athlete. He is also quite a spelling expert, he is consistently getting 100%'s on his tests as well as being a mathematical ACE. As for hoops, it is always amazing so watch him play. Coaching him has been so much fun and be able to watch him play up close and personal has been incredible. He has a gift that allows him to move on the court and he seems to see things before they happen, it is truly amazing.


What a freshman already? Katrina 14? Yes, it's true. I still remember her as that little girl with a mouse voice with curls to match. She is now becoming a young woman and I still have my hair, although there is grey now, haha. I was very impressed this year with Trina's determination to pass her Black Belt exam. She threw up in the first 30 minutes but kept going for the next 5 hours and 15 minutes. She defintely earned her belt and hopefully gained a new respect for herself. Way to go Trina!


I am so amazed on what a special photographer Vanesa has become. She has grown in her photography but also as a person and that's is so beautful to experience. Having a front row seat and watching her throughout her development of her business has been so impressive. She has branded herself, created an amazing website and managed a crazy Holiday season of photosessions. Vanesa has also mentored a very talented young photographer, Britney Nicole. This year V has shown the world what a strong, powerful and compassionate woman she is. I have known it all along, I love you honey.


And me, Vanesa said I was supposed to write about me. Well, as I look back on the year I realize and remember why I wanted to work from home in the first place. You just read about it. My family. They are the reason I do what I do for a living. I could sit and write about being a coach, volunterring at school, getting into a new house or instructing karate and earning a Black Belt. All of those things impacted my life and the lives of others and I don't discount them. But most important to me is the inner circle. So in 2009, I am taking the lead and doing my part to make my inner circle that much stronger. As it grows stronger so do I. And I as improve and grow I can help others do the same.

So my wish for all of you, is that you grow your inner circles love and power this year. I am so grateful for all of you and I wish you the absolute best year ever. Make your 2009 special.

What Does Your Dream Life Look Like?

As I am sitting here and setting my VISION for 2009 I am so excited of what
lies ahead. Over the last 3 years, I have learned to consistently set new
goals and to PLAY BIG!!!


3 years ago if you would have asked me what the New Year was bringing, I
would have answered, "I am not sure or I hope to make more money and have
some time for myself". Today I am excited to introduce more people to a new
way of life by utilizing Beyond Freedom as a life enhancement tool. To
awaken them to the possibility of more fulfilling relationships, finding
their purpose, furthering their career or starting their own business and
living life on their terms. Over the past 3 years I have seen people make
dramatic changes. It is so rewarding to be able to work from home, be with
my family, travel and help so many people improve the quality of their
lives.


To learn to get past limiting beliefs and to bridge the gap between knowing
and doing. Most of us know what we could do to allow ourselves to be more
fulfilled but are YOU taking action? Some may say "I don't know where to
start".....well I would suggest beginning with taking some time to get
authentic with yourself and really diving into what you want your life to
look like in 2009, in the next 3 years, 5 years, 10 years. Do you want to
start a business, make more money, be a better parent, son, daughter or
friend?


If you could picture your dream life, what would it look like? Would you
change zip codes, how would you spend your days and with whom? I know those
are some very personal questions, but you deserve the answers. Other people
are living their dream lives, we all should be, it is our birth right. How
would you feel if you were living that life right now? Take a minute and
think about it.........


Take action towards that YOUR dream life and make it a reality. If you would
like to share some time and discuss your possibilities I would welcome the
opportunity to speak with you.

Make your life great!!!
