As I sit here getting ready to fill you all in on where I have been the last 3 months, my brain seems scattered and a bit anxious. So I guess it is just best to start, and we shall bear witness to what comes forth.
January was an interesting month:
- It was extremely weird to not wake up on New Years Day with my bestest friend, but I made the best of the day hanging out with my Colorado Parents.
- I was informed on 12/31 that I would be finishing up my time with UBot at the end of Janurary. It was the right move for all of us I am sure.
- Joined the opening staff of a brand new Whiskey Bar in Arvada, CO -- they have 605+ whiskeys in house. It was a very interesting adventure opening a restaurant-- different that opening the cafeteria for sure -- especially because I was not in charge this time, which I was grateful for, but was also a challenge. The 30 hours a week that I was putting in there was a bit taxing but I made it. Sadly, however this is put on a rather indefinite hold until I figure out what is going on with my ankle... see next item.
- I fell snowboarding, which later comes back to bite me in the butt... 1 week of ignoring pain, total of 8 weeks in a tie up brace, 6 weeks and counting in an aircast, with fingers crossed that there is enough improvement that I do not need a ankle scope, or to keep wearing the boot -- find out 4/23...
- I got invited and started making the plans to attend a long time friends wedding down in St Johns!
- I had a brief stint back at Nitro, which was a lot of fun!
February
- After months of anticipation (really its felt like longer, because since I met Myka I wanted to work with her, before I even really had the idea of what I wanted to do) I finally started working with the AMAZING Myka McLaughlin in her group business coaching program WINC. This has easily been the catalyst to the hardest, most exciting, frustrating, unnerving, exhausting, enlightening, (and soo many more emotions) 3 months of my life.
- My 30th Birthday was pretty great. Spent it in one of my favorite places in CO -- Grand Lake, with a small group of quality people. Cards, good food, my very own Fire Works display (soo cool how that worked out), and snowboarding. I was definitely a happy camper.
- I hosted my first Vision Boarding Workshop -- which eventually will turn into a monthly thing due to people asking me to keep putting it on. This opens up soo many ideas in Myka's program and my product development goes wild!
- Candy Karter a wonderful new friend and photographer did the most fabulous photo shoot I could have ever imagined for my birthday photos. Submitting photos to INKed magazine was a birthday goal so that was super super exciting. And surprisingly a lot of fun!
- I was getting pretty into my CrossFit training (as a service swap) and actually managed to dead lift more than my body weight! That was super super exciting. I am surprisingly really missing crossfit, but the aircast and I still some understand each other so well, so I am not chancing it.
- I was asked to be the host of the Arvada Chapter of the Alternative Business Networking group. A group that I regularly attend and have really loved so much!
March
- Received my first truly outstanding testimonial from a TOP client
- Matt, my more or less on again off again boyfriend since last June moved in.
- Made it to the area contest for Toastmasters Table Topics contest
- Matt got us AMAZING tickets to see Garth Brooks while he was in Denver. The show was out of this world. It is hard to believe that Garth can still move around like he does.
- I finished the month off with a hard working new client.
- Since my ankle is not working with me like I would hope and the universe is always looking out for me. Boulder Legacy Apartments, where I first worked when I came to CO is under a whole bunch of transition and asked me if I could come back and help out. So I am working there 30 hours a week, which gets me benefits, which is super fabulous. I mostly make my own schedule, am taking on the assistance property manager title part-time, and over all am really happy to be back working with Paula -- my CO mom lol.
April
- Attended the Entrepreneur Success Summit -- meeting and reconnecting with some amazing people who I greatly look forward to making a large part of my life.
- I spent Easter with Matt's family and that was pretty interesting. It is nice to feel accepted and have friendly people to celebrate these things with.
- My newest client is a rockstar, love when people are so willing to let their stuff go, it makes the process so much easier.
- Matt and I visited the Stanley Hotel and got to sleep on the 4th floor -- their most haunted floor. We definitely heard things above our head... which was not possible. And either our neighbors were pranking each other all night or the ghosts were having some fun in the hallways lol.
- I technically had my first paid speaking gig and in the same day I Emceed a continuous party for a friend's grand opening.
- And the best part is the universe keeps sending me all of these fabulous people to help me grow, learn, and prosper. Thank you universe!!
Upcoming:
- VACATION!! Going to St John's Island from May 2-7th for Tiffany's wedding is going to be awesome!
- It comes at a great time because I will just finish my business program and it will be an wonderful celebratory thing-- I also get another 3 months of working with Myka and making sure my business just soars!
- I start my first program for my clients Mid May -- it is a 3 month program with 4 workshops and I am very excited about the changes I have made to get there. I need to kick some serious butt over the next two weeks though so that I can be sure to get is started on time... with enough participants.
- Be ready to see me and my business just explode awesomeness all over the place because it is about to happen!
Much love! From here on out, we are aiming for more in depth posts and not just wrap ups of where I have been. I am sure I will need an outlet for the good, bad, and inexplicable things about to happen in my life.
Have a most wonderful day!
