If I may...

Hey there all!

This was such a transitional and paramount month in my year. So many things happened in such a short period of time.

The notebook took on a life of it's own, which we will discuss. I fell in love with my iPad 2, I am writing this blog right now from my iPad in the upright position in my temporary bed that is conveniently located in Bryan & Mandy Robert's food storage room.

So as you all know, my house sold and I had to be out last month. That was hectic and stressful and a wonderful faith builder and it played out well and the house I was destined to be in was purchased. Well I would be receiving the keys to the new place may 29th so the move in could begin. The Robert's are so kind to me. They insisted on me staying with them and storing my stuff at their house for the month of may. So in an effort to not be a burden I felt it appropriate to fill my may calendar with travel and I'd essentially live out of a carry-on for a month like the time I went to Peru last fall.

Halli turned 7! What better way to celebrate her birthday than with an all expenses paid trip to Disney World in Orlando, Florida?! We went to San Diego last year for her birthday and managed to make unforgettable memories and we got a caricature done also which was nice. So it was only fitting to do the same thing.

Halli had a big family birthday party at her Nana's house this year! Her mom and I really went all out. I more so on the trip, her on the party and festivities! We spoiled her with clothes and games and gifts and we all made memories, it was a great deal of fun. My friend Kenny pulled some strings and Halli got to ride a horse on her birthday! She was scared so I had to climb on the horse and her mom had to hand her to me and the horse trainer led us into a field. But it was fun! Halli even got to take a miniature horse for a walk which she really enjoyed.

We then enjoyed a party full of extended family from both sides. Halli played and played, there was trampoline action and good food and lots of fun! Then first thing Monday morning Halli and I boarded a plane to Orlando. We got to the hotel and immediately hit the pool then got a nice late dinner. We were jet lagged and went to bed early. We slept 13 hours on a comfy sleep number bed. Our resort was nice and we enjoyed the amenities. We then went to magic kingdom the next day and rode rides, got food, saw shows, and characters and experienced the magic of Disney, Halli gets scared of rides easily and somehow we ended up riding space mountain which was a dark, scary roller coaster, Halli was mad at me and I have a feeling she will hold that over my head forever.

In preparation for the Florida experience, we started focusing on that market and timing worked out that an up and coming leader from Texas drove down to relocate to Orlando and we met up at Disney World right after we exited space mountain. So from there we spent time together in a group and got the grand tour. The best part was the fireworks show at the end of the night. Hali was so happy, she felt magic and dreams can come true. It was really special.

The following day they took us to coco beach and on the way there we passed a wake boarding park I had seen on fuel TV before. It had these cool zip line rope type things and jumps and rails. So we stopped there on the way back from the beach and got to wakeboard for a while. Then from there we went to the pool at the resort then the hot tub and eventually I went to take a shower then a bath. So in one day we were in the Atlantic ocean, a lake, a pool, a hot tub, a bath tub and a shower. Hahaha! Wrinkly and tanned to say the least. We had good food that evening, the four of us (Tyler & Stephanie Hutchinson and Halli & I) went to a steak house that was quite delicious.

We swam in the pool till easily 2am. Then woke up early to catch the shuttle to the theme park cause we had to catch our plane that evening and wanted a full day. We were both very tired and cranky from swimming so late but we eventually made it home with a three hour lay over. But we had so much fun and we bonded well and talked of life, and the future and our goals and we got great pictures, Halli was so exhausted and slept the entire plane ride, when. We got into SLC after midnight she was so mad from being off balance that I had to snap a picture of her expression, I found it to be adorable.

on the plane I read an entire book. This book changed my life. There is a story behind it as well. I met a guy named Michael at church and we got to talking and he said to me, you strike me as a natural born leader and you would be awesome in a network marketing company. I laughed and told him that that is what I have been doing for a living for over three years, he laughed and told me he had done that years before and loved it, and he told me that there was a book I needed to read that would refine where I was at. A week later I bump into him downtown and he says he has a book for me. He gives me a signed copy of the book "launching a leadership revolution." and he wrote me a message on the inside cover that was very heartfelt. This book has inspired me and taken my business to another level.

Upon returning home I had two days till I left for Albuquerque so I had to maximize them, so I went to working on things before I left and I found myself at a Diego Moreno's daughter's 1 year birthday party dressed like Elmo, it was amazing.

The trip to Albuquerque I cannot really express in words but it was productive, I met some people that I believe will be in my life forever. And I got to "bro down hard" with my boys Payton and Chris and we shuffled. The food in new Mexico is so much better than Utah, I had pizza with Green Chile, everything was with Green Chile and so delicious. It took Albuquerque to make me fall madly in love with this device that I am typing on. The iPad 2 is genius! And so useful!

I came home and got the keys to my new house. When I walked the property and said "I'll take it." I forgot what it looked like inside. When I went over there yesterday I was floored and speechless and stunned, it is so much better than I thought. I cannot believe I live there now! It is spectacular. There is not one flaw! So I will begin the move in when all this rain stops and then it's the next chapter's beginning. I love how things converge. Summer is here, the giant RevvNRG Event is upon us with the release of two new RevvNRG products and a new RevvNRG website, business is going next level now and I am moving into the longer term house, Halli gets out of school and then we assimilate into life and living it. Things are wonderfully falling into place. God is so good! We are blessed!

I learned a couple things this Month.

1. Before you try to conquer the world, clean up your bedroom. This is funny but it is so very true. How can you run a business or be a leader if your own personal life is in such disarray that your room is messy, your bed isn't made, your laundry is piled up, your car is a mess, or your bills haven't been paid on time. It shows a lack of organization and preparation and your life. your mood, and your emotional and mental states are directly reflected by how groomed you are, how clean your living area and working areas are. How "on it" you are can always be reflected by the depth of cleanliness you embody. So if you are down and lacking energy or motivation or you're depressed... Go clean your room, if you need a refresh... Do spring cleaning. Or tackle a project like an attic or garage or something. So before you go trying to conquer the world, why not clean your room and your car?

2. What counts is not the number of hours you put in. But how much you put into each hour. On the age old quest for consistency I see this time and time again, people spending time worrying, doing things half. People don't work anymore. They just kind of show up and get paid for being there, so when someone actually works and puts effort into their time, they stand out because things are so convoluted in the workplace. If we put our heart and mind into every conversation we had, ever phone call we made and we truly took every minute seriously that we had, we would be able to accomplish so much in a day and still be done by 5. The business I am in people make excuses and say they can't or it's too hard or something like that. But they will sit and watch TV for a couple hours. Imagine if you said "I will work 2 dedicated hours on my fortune." If they did that 5 days a week. That's 520 hours a year towards their fortune. It adds up! Think about the friend you know that is always quoting movie lines and that's his/her favorite topic of conversation. How many hours a year do you think they put into that past time? What are you doing with your time and where are you putting the most into your hours?

3. Past tense Perspective - Negativity + Payton Suggestions = Rapid Growth. So in my notebook Payton Parnegg suggested writing what I wanted my life to be like a year from February. The catch was I had to write it looking back on it, almost like it had happened and writing it from the perspective of how it felt. So I wrote two pages. The sound like this... "2011 has been a great year, so many things have happened." And then I go off to list what happened and how I felt because of it and how my life was different because of it. Whenever I would read that in my notebook it gave me hope and pumped me up as to where my life would be next year and I continued on the path. Well I reviewed that notebook before writing this blog tonight and well... It's May and by June nearly everything in that notebook came to fruition. So I must redo the entire notebook I got there was faster than February 2012. So this excites me for February but I have to revamp everything. So I would suggest you doing this because it is powerful. Payton Parnegg is a genius. He's next level

4. Your life is your message. mediocrity is a disease and it plagues our society. Settling is normal, people don't try, people lack zest, substance and ambition, passion and courage. Few stand up for what they believe in. I had an acquaintance did this month and it put a great deal into perspective for me. Just as you remember "I have a dream." with Martin Luther King... his life was his message. We all know that. When you die... What impact will YOU have made in your world? What will people say of your life? What will you leave behind? Will the world become a better place cause you were alive? What will people say you contributed? Your life is your message so wake up and do something with it. We are all pens writing our own individual stories, what kind of ending will yours have? What will be YOUR message?

New Mexican Sunset...
