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!!!

Checking in...still in Las Vegas. We had the best day today. You know when the day just flows perfectly? That was today. We had school time in the morning and the kids are just loving the home school lifestyle. Asher really is reading good and loving it. He is understanding the concepts great and Rider is on a classic literature marathon. He just finished the Invisible Man and started Moby Dick. I can't wait until he reads that! It will rock his boat (no pun intended)! 
After our school day( about 2 hours) we spent the rest of the day at the pool. Asher really learned to swim today! They are both fish. I had a blast jumping in and out of the pool. While we all this was happening I built our business. Trained some new partners, put people in appointments, got coached, had an amazing team call. Put 4 people on the Fantastic Four Star in Four Weeks program and changed some lives. What a day!! Oh and did I mention I helped some others start a detox and cleanse program that will completely transform their current health? 
Anyway I posted some pics to get everyone up to date on our great adventure. We went to Calico Ghost Town outside of Barstow, CA. We had a great time there. If you haven't been they have a great camp ground.  Look at the picture I was totally possessed by this Indian. I look exactly like him...creepy. We completely freaked the kids out reading true ghost stories from Calico. There are some doozies. But the highlight for me is actually seeing a famous ghost. There is the old one room schoolhouse and there are lots of stories of a little girl that hangs out there. I got to see her. I'm getting chills just remembering it. Also while we were there Fuzzy one of our 3 cats (yes we have 1 dog and 3 cats in our bus) got seriously sick. Maybe a ghost cat possession. $2000 later and a week in 24 hour hospital care first in Barstow then in Las Vegas we never did find out what was wrong with him. He is still miraculously with us.

 We have also been to Portland, OR where we had a large event for our business. Dr. Suhas flew in to talk to us about Ayurveda and taking charge of our health and our CEO and founder of our company even Skyped in to talk to us all. It was an amazing event and we were able to be there to support our team. We fell in love with Portland and ended up staying almost 3 weeks. That is the beauty of being on the road. We don't have to be anywhere because we are here. That is true freedom.

New Career for Asher & Rider

Portland has these amazing food lots. They are all over town. Rider and Asher found their favorite truck and made friends with the owner and he put them to work. They are now thinking about a new career. Entrepreneurs at heart!

 

We also went to the giant volcano. That is truly awe inspiring. We learned alot of geology and gave us a new subject to study. However no cell signal drove us out of there in a few days. Can't leave our team hanging for too long.

Having a blast at Mt. St. Helens, WA

I think we took a wrong turn?!

 We never want to stay on the main roads and found something on the map that looked pretty cool. We were crossing Idaho on our way from Oregon over to Utah. The map says its paved ...Let's go. Cruising along at 45 mph we hit washboard dirt road. The whole bus was shaking. It was like a tornado things were falling out of cabinets that were bungied closed. Holy moly everything was on the floor. Well we looked at the map and we had 40 more miles of this.......no where to turn the bus around...here we go. We were out in the middle of nowhere. Us and the cows of Idaho. We did reach our destination. The City of Rocks. It was amazing. It is like Yosemite and Joshua Tree all mixed up. It is one of the top rock climbing destinations in North America. Who knew???  We saw some amazing climber way up on top of these 6 story spires. Wow! However before you go....it is remote and there are only dirt roads. We made it in Dolly so you can too. I said to Kelwin well we will never do that again. He said to me "Yes we will" and you know he is right. We will definitely do crazy nerve wracking things again.
I am still getting the dirt out of Dolly!

City of Rocks, Idaho

I am almost caught up to present day and there are soooo many more stories to tell! Just know that we are having a great time and feel so grateful that we can just take off and do this with our kids. This is the life we dreamed of and we made it a reality. It just shows us that no one has to live a life of struggle. If we can do it anyone can do it. It just takes enough courage to take life by the horns and not settle for what you don't want. Stand up and take charge.

Have you met Dolly?

Dolly with her Buddy the Little Guy.

For those of you who haven't met Dolly...here she is. Dolly is a 1957 silverside bus. She started her career as a Greyhound Bus. We have no idea how many miles shes traveled or where she has been. She is a sweet home for us and has been cooperative for most of the time. Did you hear how we spent 10 hours in a Walmart parking lot? We were being good RV'ers and stopped at Walmart to get some supplies. (YES Walmart...they do now have a large organic selection and are leading the way in environmental issues not only in their stores but demanding less packaging from their vendors, anyway...)

2am in the Walmart parking lot.

Our savior! Get us out of Walmart!

Dolly wouldn't start when we got out and we were camping in Walmart for 10 hours on a Sunday evening in Utah. No one works on Sunday in Utah!! We finally had a giant tow truck tow us to the mechanic where we camped for a day in their parking lot! It was 2am by the time we got to the mechanic and he dropped us off right in the middle of a giant parking lot. When we woke up we were surrounded by cars that had parked around  us. Never mind we pulled out our camp chairs and set up camp in a parking spot!
Well at least when we were in Walmart I trained 2 new team members and got their business started! How cool to be in network marketing!!! We work anywhere and make our living while we are in the middle of adventuring! Isn't this is what life should look like???
Speaking of amazing we just went to our national convention in Las Vegas. More on that amazing transformative weekend later. Asher and Rider loved the strip! Check out Asher in this pic and the sign in the background. I am not sure if he just thought they were hot because at 10pm it was still 96 degrees!
We are still in Las Vegas building our biz and getting some great partners. I must admit I am really liking it here. There is a great exciting energy that I've found here! Plus I love laying by the pool and building the biz! I've moved into a bikini since using the amazing Zrii products. It's been years!!! I love it! Even Rider and Asher say I look like one of the "hot Vegas ladies". Maybe just because I'm sweating!!!
Love to everyone!!!xoxox

Ok....I need to work on my spelling!

Thanks to those who pointed out my utterly abysmal spelling! I really do appreciate it. That is what happens when it is late and there is still too much to do. All that free time we were going to have on the road....I'm still looking for it.
It has been a HUGE adjustment to life on the road. Small spaces with 3 cats, a dog, 2 kids and 2 adults. Those of you who thought "what the hell..." yes it is all true. I haven't had a shower or used the toilet without having a full conversation with 2 kids since we left. A small price to pay for all the other changes that are overcoming our family.
We are tight knit. We are really getting to know each other. We really do love each other and would do anything for each other.  My heart is filled with joy and knowing that we made the right decision when I look back and see Rider reading a book to Asher without being asked to do it.
Kelwin and I have gotten in touch with our younger selves before kids, houses, bills,etc.... We are having a blast being the hippy bus homeschool weirdos!
Being light and free has also brought a big change to our biz. We were in Portland, OR and thought it's time to get on the road and go then we looked at each other and said.."Go Where???" We had the big realization that we didn't have anywhere we needed to go. So we hung out. Met some great new people and business partners and we are getting a whole fantastic team in the Pacific Northwest and we can't wait to go back and
see them again...And we can whenever we want!!!
Life is good. Asher just asked where is Colorado? So look out if you are near there we may be showing up soon!
Be Free!
P.S. I used spell check this time.

We've done it!
