Go with the Flow

Ok so I will attempt to catch up! We had an amazing time staying at Lake Mead. There is an amazing campground right on the lake. We biked around and even went out with friends on their houseboat. They had a great powerboat as well that we went tubing on. As a mother it feels really scary to send your kids out into the middle of a huge lake and drag them fast behind your boat when you know that they aren't the strongest swimmers! Faith in the life jackets...

the posse on the lake

tubing....xo!

Yes...It's true we found Bedrock!

We headed toward the Grand Canyon after Lake Mead and found Bedrock not far from the South Rim. Of course we had to stay there. Take a look at our photo album on the previous post. This place rocked! It was as run down and kitshy as you would expect but we loved it. All the locals would come and eat at Fred's Diner. I would go back here in a minute. It was certainly a highlight!!!!

The Grand Canyon.

hiking down.....

The Grand Canyon is as majestic as ever. It was the first time the boys had seen it. They were in awe and their eyes as wide as saucers when the first looked at it. People get there!!! If your kids have not seen it. Or if you have not. It is a magical place and very powerful. Kelwin and I made many life decisions while we were there. You can't help but reflect on your life while looking at the power of Mother Nature.

Crystal Hill in Arizona

We headed to Quartzsite, AZ after that on our way back to So. Cal. We were slightly ahead of the thousands of people that descend on that town for the largest flea market in the world I believe. We will go back when the town is in full swing. We met the naked bookseller. No....he's not completely naked..he wears a sock. A true free spirit living the life he wants. We could relate to him. No, we are not going to start roaming the country naked.

uh oh broke again

We headed off to Carlsbad, CA to have Halloween with the cousins. Stopped at WalMart to get some costumes and Dolly broke down...again. We do not have good luck with WalMart parking lots. 2 times broke and both in WalMart parking lots. Oh well...This time it is bad and we have been in Oceanside, CA at a great RV park 2 blocks from the beach for the last month. In the next few days we will be towed up to Los Angeles to get poor Dolly fixed. However that may take a while. If you are in LA we will be there for December more than likely. Most people I tell the story to say," Man that sucks. Your stuck." You know what....we don't feel that way. We feel blessed!!! We knew Dolly would break at some point. Guess what? She broke down somewhere we love at holiday time. We can see our friends!!! I can pick up some wardrobe work and extend our health benefits. It couldn't be better. We are thrilled!!! Who cares how long it takes because we are on an adventure! Isn't life an adventure anyway? We will be on our way when the time is supposed to be. Whatever the plan is we don't pretend to know. We just go with the flow!!! Everywhere we've been we have picked up new team members and shared our love for our business and lifestyle. Life is good. If it weren't for the amazing business model of Network Marketing we would still be in jobs that we hate and living a life of mediocrity and trying to keep up with the status quo. Buck that!!!! Give me our old bus and a broke engine 2 blocks from the beach!

Time Flies!!!

Wow!!!! I can not believe how fast time has flown! It has been over a month since our last post. We have been busy!
Let's see, where do I start?
First, the link below is to our photo album for October...check it out!

Living life out of the box.

We have found a new love.....bicycling. I love it, Kelwin loves it and Asher and Rider think they are professionals. We are able to cover a long distance on a bike. We went our longest ride ever the other day.
We rode from Boulder Beach on the side of Lake Mead on a trail that was an old train track that serviced Hoover Dam. It was really cool and had 5 tunnels that we got to ride through! Anyway we ended up at the Hoover Dam and that was really cool. The trail drops you off at the top of their massive parking lot so after riding about 4 miles we had to walk down about 5 stories in the parking lot and then down to the dam. Which wasn't so bad until we had to walk back up to the parking lot then up the 5 stories then ride the additional 4 miles back. It was great. The boys didn't complain. We have a chant as we ride up the hills..."All I need is within me now." then when it gets tougher..."All the strength I need is in me now." We keep on chanting and it does really help us get up the hills. Incredible how strong the mind is. We do now know we need to get the boys some gear bikes. I always feel bad when I pass them up still riding while their walking their bikes up a steep hill because I have low gears and they have none.

Big Horn Sheep on the Hill

We see alot on our rides and were lucky enough to run into a family of Big Horn Sheep. If you look closely you can see them on top of the hill. 

Well I really don't know how to work this thing. You'll have to tell me if the videos that are posted work. Who knows? Rider is turning into quite our documentarian. I'm going to teach him how to write this blog and let him do it. I'm sure he can figure out how to work the site much faster and easier than I! I'm starting to feel frustrated so I am going to keep it short tonight!

Love to all from the Hagen bikers!!!!!!

 Wow! What a month! We have been in and out of Las Vegas a few times. We really have had a great time here! We attended our National Convention and that was transformative to say the least. It is so amazing to know that you love what you do and you love the lifestyle that you have!

With Women Icon's of Business Luann Mitchell and Shawna Winn

We were able to spend some real time with some amazing people. We met and were completely inspired by Luann Mitchell. This woman has overcome so many obstacles that normal people would just give up. She has gone on to be named Canada’s number one Female Business Woman for Three Consecutive Years! I hung on her every word. We were also honored to met and to be able to work with Shawna Winn. She has built up many multi million dollar organizations and we are now getting personally mentored by her. Wow! To be able to soak up the wisdom of such powerful but yet the most down to earth people. It's no wonder they are so successful. They lead by example and from their hearts. We can only hope to help so many people in our lifetime.
Rider Moxie turned 8!!! It is so hard to believe. He is growing into an amazing young sir. You know most people dread the teenage years but I am so excited and curious to see who he becomes in this world. I see great things in his future.

Rider is 8!

 He is so vibrant, sensitive and smart. Whatever his passion becomes I can only hope he follows his dreams. If I can leave one legacy for my children it would be this. Do what you love. We are modeling this example. Don't settle for a life of mediocrity. Don't settle for the society's status quo. Live a life of design not a life of reaction. These are all philosophies that we believe strongly in. If you don't have a big house or lots of money who cares! But it is true that if you do what you love you will be provided for, the money will follow. Don't let fear rule you. "Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy." Dale Carnegie

The motto that we live by is:" I will do today what others will not so I will live tomorrow like others can not." We are busy and loving it.

I just put up September and will be putting them up monthly. Yay!
I know this whole technology thing is supposed to make life simpler....
Let me know if it works and I will work on this streamlining process.

I miss you guys....

Hi friends, family and strangers.....
Back in Utah for a quick visit to the folks. We were in Vegas for over  a week and made some new friends and business partners. It really is easy to make friends when you are on the road. I've come to realize that the human race is generally good. Maybe misguided at times but good. People are eager to lend a hand or give a compliment. Maybe it's just the crazy RV'ers or maybe what I am putting out is being reflected back to me. However the friends you make will never replace the friends we left at home. I miss you guys!!! Just a shout out to the ones that have been there all along.
As far as our journey is coming.....we don't know where we will be next. I guess that will sort itself out tomorrow!
Kelwin and I are on Day 4 of our detox and cleanse. That also has something to do with the emotional release! I've dropped 5 pounds of toxic sludge. All sorts of stuff is coming out! I have done some crazy cleanses in my time but this Purify cleanse is by far the easiest and very effective. I feel great and only 3 more days to go.
I'll post more pics over the weekend. Love to you all!!!
