Life continues to bless

I had an amazing night last night at the drum jam at the Twisted Groove here in Minneapolis. My friend Scotty has been hosting a bi-weekly drum circle for over 12 years at his tye-die shop, and I went out last night to play some drums, share some stories, and catch up with old friends.

I have been thinking over the past few weeks of an old friend who I thought would just love the healing benefits of Young Living Essential Oils, and I was going to call her to see if she could do lunch sometime so I could introduce her to the oils. As life has it, I have been busy, and have not gotten around to making that call. She happened to be at the drum jam last night, and the evening flowed naturally to a point at which I was able to offer some oils to her, and she loved them!

I have been reading the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, in which the major theme is that whatever we think becomes our reality. This situation that manifested last night was such a great example of the reality that whatever we think and place our energy on will manifest into our reality. The key is to not have attachment to exactly how what you desire may turn out. I was able to flow with the opportunity the universe provided for me to share the oils with this person in a situation when it was presented, and that was a blessing for me!

friends, community, fun

Had a great weekend with all my friends, 500 of us rocked downtown Minneapolis today for a Blitz weekend, and trained with Dave Watson, one of the best of the best in my company!

So many people have been asking me about Young Living essential oils, which is awesome, because I love sharing my passion for health and awareness of the benefits of pure natural products with people I care about.

Testimonials have been coming from people who I have shared the essential oils with, because they get them in their hands, use them for a few days, and WHAM!, they realize why I am so passionate about them - they work!

I have been in tip top all winter, while lots of people I know are dropping like flies all around me with colds, flus, sinus infections, etc. I just keep telling them to get some Thieves oil from me, because that's what I use to boost my immune system and keep myself germ free!

Sitting at home after a busy week, saw George Clinton on Monday night, hung out with the band, shared Young Living oils with George and the band, they loved em! Then Friday night it was off to see The Wailers, of Bob Marley and The Wailers fame. Well, at least the bass player Family Man was, he's the only dude in the band that actually played with Bob Marley. The band was good, and it's always awesome to hear Bob Marley songs, yet something in the performance felt tight, over-rehearsed, and production line. I didn't FEEL IT, ya know? Sometimes a band can play all the right notes, be super tight, and have awesome song writing, but the delivery is just missing...that special something....like originality, personality, passion?

Anyways, it just seemed on one hand like a glorified cover band using the name The Wailers to gain publicity, when in reality only the bass player really played with Bob....the rest were mostly younger people. The stage show, or should I say lack thereof, was the other thing that didn't get me going at all. The singer just walked back and forth in a 3 foot circular radius, the band wasn't that engaging.

The George Clinton show, on the other hand, was OFF THE HOOK! Parliament Funkadelic plays the BEST live show I have ever seen, and I have seen them about a dozen times. It's hard to describe, the 20 people up on stage, the sound like a freight train of outer space galactic funk tearing through at light speed. THe low down bass that rattles your gonads, the sexy ladies of funk throwing the female vibrations into the mix, Michael Hampton and Gary Shider guitar GODS! and George, Rock n Roll Hall of Famer, Dr Funkenstein in 3D...THANKS P-FUNK!

I got to the show early and hung out by the bus until I ran into PooPoo, one of the singers, who remembered me from a few years ago when I played harmonica with them. I ended up back stage, hung out with George and the band, shared the essential oils with them , and had a blast. They are so regular and normal back stage, but turn into intergalactic funk stars on stage, and played a 3+ hour show that kicked my ass! peace

brrrrrr! Cold week in MN

I worked all week outside of the Malt-O-Meal plant in Northfield MN installing security cameras on the cereal warehouses. What a trip! There are 3 HUGE warehouses, all full of boxed cereal that goes out all around the country on semi trailers. It boggled my mind how much cereal comes out of just that one tiny factory to the country.

It was pretty dang cold working outside all week, although Thursday it was sunny all day with no wind! more to come later...

Up with the sun...

So, I took a job this week (arrrggghhh) to supplement my income. Just starting out with 2 home based businesses, I am getting those off the ground and needed to line my pockets a little deeper to assist along the way. I am working with my friend Crist installing security cameras on the Malt O Meal plant here in MN. I am working outside in 0 degree weather!

I am going to work my butt off with my home based businesses this year so that I never have to set an alarm clock again, unless it's to get up and go surfing, fishing, or something I truly love to do! Don't get me wrong, I am grateful to have friends to work with, and to have an opportunity to get some $$ together quickly this week, but the cold weather and the frozen hands and the time involved are not seeming to be worth my time and effort, because once the job is done, so will the income from it.

I like the idea of getting the ball rolling on something that will eventually run itself. That I can own a business where I will eventually be insignificant to my own income is something I think everyone should investigate. I read an article a few days ago that told me there will be 10,000,000 millionaires created in the USA in the next 10 years, and I just knew that I had to be one of them! It gets so tedious getting up every day going to the same job, doing the same thing, for the same pay, with little or no raises, and a boss always making more money than you! I am done with that forever, and glad I am only working out in this cold ass weather for the next week!
