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.
