July Whirlwind: Monsoons and Drawing on Walls

Holy July, Batman!

I'm not sure what happened but July was a whirlwind! Work, fun, travel, sickness, more work - here's a brief tour of all the excitement!


Penguins. Baby penguins. 


Lots of Arbonne meetings and parties with some amazing gals! I have the best team ever! :)


Florida trip with daily monsoons! 


Shopping with the bestie. 


DISNEY!!! 


Re-vamped and even-more-my-favorite Star Wars ride at Disney! (This was not the ride, just a prop. But an actual speeder ride would be super cool - take note, people!)


Disney monsoon! The trash cans were blowing down the street and the castle got struck by lightening! We were waiting out the worst in a gift shop.


Rainy Disney afternoon after the lightening subsided - fun!


It's even magical in the rain!


One hour of sun at the beach on the morning I flew home!


Drawing a Paris scene on a friend's wall for her little girl's new Paris-themed room!


La Tour Effiel! 


I finally watched Despicable Me 1 & 2 and now I'm obsessed with these guys. 


I mean, how can you not be? SoDangCute.


Lots MORE Arbonne means packaging more orders - if you're in the Arbonne world watch for this gal's story in your orders - she's my Arbonne kindred spirit and dear friend!

Add to all that doctors visits with my Grandma (we appreciate your prayers - lots of surgeries ahead), helping a friend go through a rough spot, and dog sitting for friends for a week, it's been a crazy July for sure! 

I've also been reading through John Wooden's Leadership Gameplan for Success again - it's such a great book! Here's something encouraging for you to think on today:

"Little things make big things happen. Success is built from the ground up. I showed players how to put on their sweat socks correctly. Small things - laughable to some - are connected to big things such as a national championship. The particulars may differ you and your team, but success is built from the bottom up." - John Wooden

Don't neglect the little things in life - when you focus on doing them correctly, the big things often take care of themselves!


Watermelon, feta, and butter lettuce salad with walnuts and white balsamic.  I love my CSA box.  And not the flippant, I-love-th...
