Changes....they are a comin'

When things don't go as planned or things are just falling a part people are so quick to ask God why he is doing this to them....but, when things are going great and according to plans he is usually the last one thanked or praised!!!

WELL.....

I am here to say thank you to Him for all he has done for us!!!

We are coming up on the end of our 5 year lease at Infinity Wellness Center, something that in the past would have stressed me out to the point of a bloody ulcer, but, we have found an amazing building with so much room for exactly what we want to do......I can't help but think He has a hand in all of this, I know he does!!! This building is not only an answer to our needs but also our friend and CrossFit trainer!!! Things happen and come together for a reason, as well as when they fall apart! It is all according to His plan......so even if it seems things can't get any worse, say Thank You to Him, as I know he just has something better in store for you!!!!

I'll keep you posted on when and where the new location is when we get closer.............

An Andyism........

Andy to his dad today "Dad, your wearing your pants like a Geezer"

A Macyism......

Me: "Ugh, my eyes feel full of ick this morning......."

Macy: "Your worried about your eyes when your hair looks like that?"

*sigh*

A Year In Review!!!!!

WOW! Has it really been a year since I last posted?! It's hard to believe......it really feels like just a few months ago!!!!

Anyway, the year was pretty uneventful......in a good way! Kids are doing great, they still love school, soccer & football! Macy, Andy and I have all joined Taekwondo! I participated in it when I was young and really enjoyed it.....but, unfortunately I had to quit when we moved to Pahrump, because, well, Pahrump had nothing to offer (surprise, surprise)! But I digress, we are loving it and have already advanced to our Yellow Belts (White, Orange, Yellow.......) and we are month away from testing for our Camo belts. I can't wait for this because we cross over into sparring!!! That should be fun! The kids love it and so do I!!!

Tim is doing great at the office! He slowed a bit, but after some motivating training sessions with his staff they all seem to be moving in the right direction!!! The changes Maximized Living has done for his career is amazing.....what it has done for our personal lives is short of a miracle!!!! It has changed our attitude about daily obstacles, it has changed the way we eat and it has even made our marriage stronger!!!!

This year Tim and I will be celebrating our 18th wedding anniversary!!! It totally blows my mind that asking Tim to be my boyfriend between science and math in 8th grade (24 years ago) would lead to 18 years of wedded bliss, two awesome kids and in incredible life!!!! Who would have thought?? Not me, not Tim and I'm pretty sure not our parents!!!! Just blessed I guess!!!

Well, I guess that's it for now! I don't want to blog all at once and have nothing to say again for a year!!!! I will try, really hard to blog once a month!! Love to all!

Peace & Blessings,
Robin

So here it is.....2010!

Welcome to 2010 all! A New Year and new start! This is our chance (although, we can take that "new" step anytime) to make the much wanted and much needed changes in our lives. We all say we are gonna do it.....and then fail after the first few days! So, here I am, challenging all of you to make those needed changes and to stick to them!! YOU CAN DO IT!! I know you need help, I know this because I need the help! We are a social society who needs eachother for love, growth and support!! It's how we are wired, it's how we were created!

Find someone who wants change too.....they don't need to be after your same goals! Just find them and then support each other through the hard times and cheer eachother on during the succesful times.......there is strength in numbers!!!

I wish you all much success in all you do this year, much health and much love!! God Bless you all!

Star Gazing........

I was watching the news yesterday (yeah, I know), anyway, as usual there was a report on the recent behavior of Tiger Woods (imagine that)! They were discussing his lack of appearances since all of this hulla bullu has began and how he NEEDS to show himself to begin repairing his reputation....really? I understand when one becomes a star your personal space is consistently invaded.....I am extremely guilty of it, I am a total and complete star gazer and snooper! But, I do believe people, ALL people, have the right to their privacy and to heal the way they feel they need to! Yes, he is probably extremely embarrassed by this, who in the hell wouldn't be, but this is an issue between his wife and him....NO ONE else! This isn't between the golfing society and them, or us and them or his father and him, or whatever.....it is between his wife, children and him.....PERIOD!!! The report stated that 42% of voters (whoever they are) now disapprove of Tiger Woods, up from 2%.....WOW, it's awesome to learn that 42% of these said voters are perfect and never make mistakes, large or small! What a relief! Unfortunately, I can't say the same for myself.....how will I ever live up to these 42% approval!!!

Now, I do feel sorry for Tigers wife.....she didn't ask for any of this paparazzi in her face crap! I don't know the aspects of their marriage and why this happened, again, there is always more to the story then media wants you to know. They only want you to know the part that makes you love one side and hate the other. While Tigers wife was out and about a reporter asked her "How do you feel about the 14 lovers your husband had?" WTF? Seriously? That questions is about as dumb as asking a new Olympic Gold Medalist how they are feeling......what the hell is she supposed to say to that? "Oh, I feel great, I am gonna go get some Starbucks now and perhaps get a Pedi!" Give me a freaking break!!! Reporters are idiots, the media and their ilk are pit bulls and we are nothing but a bunch of cattle mooing our way through life and listening to their crap!!!

To end, make sure that all you perfect people out there judging Tiger and others for their indiscretions make no mistakes, neither small nor large, cause your perfect and you know it!!

REMEMBER: "Judge not, that ye be not judged" Matthew 7:1

I am sitting here.......

with five college students. I have never felt so old.....ever! I walked into my kitchen and saw them preparing their beers, Landshark Lager. I mentioned, in passing, that college students must make more money these days as opposed to when we were attending, as we drank Keystone. I then went on to explain that we used to buy the big jugs of Carlos & Rossi wine and mixed it with 7-Up or Sprite to make cheap wine coolers.......everything was going fine until my niece explained that I had just had a "back in my day" comment. It seemed innocent enough, but, it was actually pretty brutal! When did I reach "that" age?? When did I start making "back in my day" comments? Really, someone tell me! Was it when I had kids of my own? Was it on my 30th birthday? Perhaps, it was when I made my first mortgage? I just don't know. I mean, it sneaked up on me out of no where......actually, it sneaked up on me by way of a 20 years olds mouth!!

*sigh*
