First thing tomorrow morning, I’m heading to Arizona with a
great group of friends. My BFFs Jolanta, and Marty (of course!) will be part of
this not-so-motley crew. Adventure
beckons – one of personal exploration and growth.
For me, this is a time of letting go of beliefs that don’t
serve me any more, and being open to new ideas around what success really means
to me.
One of my favourite poems has fuelled me for many years…
To laugh often and
much;
To win the respect of
intelligent people
and the affection of children;
To earn the
appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty,
to find the best in others;
To leave the world a
bit better, whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch or a redeemed social
condition;
To know even one life
has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.*
And I truly live by this as fully as I can. In spades. But I know there is more to it. What is it that I would walk over hot coals
to accomplish? What keeps me going? What
makes me aim higher? What is it that
will make me break through those subtle barriers of disbelief – those mental
speed bumps? I want to know. That is why
I am going to Phoenix. I’m going to find my “why”.
I will be surrounded by like-minded people, all of whom are
going to be inspired by Jack Canfield and other motivational speakers. It is the 10-year anniversary of Isagenix, a
company for which I have great respect.
A celebration is called for and I am really excited to be a part of
it. My plan is to grow my nutritional
business far beyond what I believed to be possible when I first began, and this
gathering will help me forge ahead.
What of Presence, you ask? Well, it is still a lovely little
oasis festooned with jewels, clothing, and funky accessories, and it is a
creation of mine that makes me smile. I hope
it’s there for a long time. There’s a lot of joy and laughter that flows in and
out of the place, and yet that’s not a currency that covers all my bills. I want to continue growing Presence in
Horseshoe Bay and have a thriving secondary income… also stemming from helping
people feel great about themselves, getting healthier, and aging with grace and
beauty. Enter Isagenix. I know I’m on to a good thing here.
I had to stop writing for a bit here to start getting ready... fast forward to this morning...
I’ve just arrived at Jolanta’s place and we’re getting ready
to hit the road. Picking up Marty on the
way, driving to Bellingham, doing a little shopping if we have some time, then
on to Phoenix.
Contrary to current thinking, what happens in Phoenix is NOT
staying in Phoenix. Stay tuned!
Branded by enthusiasm,
Buns xo

attributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson, although some believe that it was written by
Bessie Stanley in 1905, albeit with slightly different wording.
