Snowed In? No way! Girls' Day Out!

Had an awesome day today! Suzanne Lantz is here visiting from Las Vegas & we needed a total girls' day out! It was snowing hard all day, but Suzanne and I decided to brave the snow covered roads and snowshoe.  We went up to Snowbasin instead of Ogden Nordic just because it was a lot closer.  We just went a mile or so, but it was peaceful and fun to just get outside. We had planned a mini high school reunion at the Maddox in Brigham City, but it was way to stormy to brave heading that far North.  Change of plans ~ didn't want anyone to get hurt in an accident on the scary roads. We ended up at Garcia's Mexican Restaurant and then had lunch with some beautiful Viewmont high school classmates and friends {Class of '75!!}.  It was fun catching up with them & hopefully we can do it again soon, without worrying about the weather! After lunch Suzanne and I saw Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks.  Total chick-flick, and loved it!  Perfect way to spend a blustery, snowy, and cold day.

Leading Ladies Abundant Soul Event

Beautiful Ladies!

The beautiful soul sisters that sat at our table.  Each one with a unique and touching story.

The end of the event, we circled around and let our lights beam with absolute brightness. 

Ember, Espy, Rinda and Kris

My sweet and amazing friend Adhis!
Oh my.  My soul coach and friend Tina Metcalf.  This was her event, and as always, she touched everyone.  I can't tell you all how much she has helped me with self esteem, hard decisions, and helping me learn a lot about myself.  I love her.


Kendra, Aleca, myself, and Jessica! 

Sister sandwich!  Ember and Rinda, the beautiful redheads.  Love.
Total "fill your cup" kind of day.  Learning how to let go of our "crap", bonding with women, and honoring how unique and wonderful we all are.  I had a wonderful day, and just loved connecting with so many many amazing LEADING LADIES.  Thank-you Tina Metcalf for putting on an event to cherish!

Wheeler Creek Trail ~ 60 miles so far on foot in 2013!!

My ever faithful companion Shadow.  My Valentine's Day date.  Couldn't ask for more.

Wheeler Creek itself ~ beautiful bubbling brook right now.  The peaceful sounds of water.

The snow looked liked marshmallow cream here. 

Shadow girl.  Best collie ever :)

The trailhead is up Ogden canyon right near the Pineview Reservoir dam, to the South.  Today marked 60 miles in 2013!!

Me! Fletcher Canyon Trailhead ~ it was windy and chilly!
Pines are different here ~ some of them had red bark.


Does it bug you that there is graffiti in our National Parks?  It bugs me!

The beginnings of a website.

My first long consultation happened today!  I am so excited, overwhelmed, excited, scared, excited, emotional.  I've never really looked at what makes me different.  What do I have to offer?  Thankfully, my web designer has experience with it all!  I am so glad I picked Rebecca Servoss.  She is so exceptional at what she does.  She really helped me THINK about what makes me, well, ME. 

I will keep updating with progress.  For now, I'm answering questions about myself, and when I'm ready, we'll pick fonts, colors, graphics.  THAT is the fun part ~ the QUESTIONS are the SCARY but EXCITING part! 

Since I just saw Marianne Williamson less than a week ago, I think I'll end with her poem ~ because we all have a LIGHT to share. 

Our Deepest Fear
By Marianne Williamson

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness
That most frightens us. 

We ask ourselves
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.
Your playing small
Does not serve the world.

There's nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine,
As children do.

We were born to make manifest
The glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us;
It's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we're liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.

Note:
This inspiring quote on our deepest fear is taken from Marianne Williamson's inspiring book, Return to Love.
