Olympic Torch

Jan 17

Posted by Robyn in Thoughts

We just got back from seeing the Olympic torch in southern Alberta!! I forgot that it was going through our town today and when I realized it – we still had time to get into Lethbridge to see it. We spontaneously jumped in the car and chased down the torch on the route (John just loves when I do this – he he)!

I had tears in my eyes – I was so proud! He he…I cry for all occasions – happiness, sad – you name it – it comes very naturally for me, it’s genetic. I believe today it was a combination of – I may never seen something like it again – in Alberta OR my lifetime (never know what the future holds) AND that the Olympics are back on our homeland!

I recently learned from my American husband – that no Canadian has ever won a Gold medal while the Olympics have been in Canada. I haven’t researched the validity of this statement – but since he’s a pretty smart and resourceful guy – I just hope that Canada can break that record this year!

I’m really happy that we got to witness the running of the torch through our community.

The official 2010 Winter Olympics website is fabulous. I loved using the Torch Relay Interactive Map for detailed information on where the torch was “live” and what time it was expected in certain places.

Canadian followers – Did you see the Olympic torch – when it was close to you??

Your Remedy

Oct 30

Posted by Robyn in Thoughts

Hope everyone is in phenomenal health and spirit!H1N1

The media and pharmaceutical companies are having a ball with the flu outbreak. Enough with the negative energy – I’d love to gather tips and positive thoughts from everyone to overcome everything going on around us.

What do you and your family do to stay healthy? Any secrets that you can share?

Our biggest secret is positive energy & thoughts and a few other tricks, work for us.

John’s auctioning career, requires him to have a voice and sound throat all the time. He drinks warm tea between shifts. Whenever he feels a bug trying to attack when at home – he takes a shot of warmed up whiskey with honey! Funny Texan tradition – I’m convinced.

If I start to feel a sore throat coming on, I pop a couple of Arbonne’s Get Well Soon tablets. I also try and sweat out any “negative” cells through hot baths and showers! I say out loud and constantly to myself – I’m healthy and feel amazing!

In the Beazley household – you’re only allowed a 24 hour pity party. That’s all I’m allowed to feel sorry for myself. After that – it’s all mental – get up off the couch – positive affirmations will turn your illness around. If I’m really lucky – my sweet husband will make me chicken noodle soup and possibly a grilled cheese sandwich. He he – soul food for the healing.

How do you stay healthy? What have you been recommended for fighting flu/cold? Do you have a favorite recipe or family remedy?

Please comment!

I’d love your tips to share in my November Arbonne newsletter.

Kick in the butt!

Oct 28

Posted by Robyn in Thoughts

John departed Monday for 2 weeks of work. Which means that I have 2 weeks to be the workaholic that I love to be (he he…) at night while he’s away. Well 2 evenings are down and very little productive has got done. I need a kick in the butt! However, in the defense of my sanity – my body did need a little time out. A couple mindless nights isn’t going to kill anyone! However – with 2 nights behind me – it’s time to reignite the spark behind me.

My action step list is HUGE! I am so excited to work on projects for Arbonne, Copper West, this blog, and speaking. However for some reason I’m stuck and am really procrastinating.

Night 1– went to the Painted Cottage’s (home décor store) Christmas debut and then followed up with a trip to the Michaels craft store. Got home at 7:30pm and worked on my crafts!

CrossCraft

Night 2– convinced myself (not really hard unfortunately) that I needed to “run” into Costco (almost an oxymoron) and then followed that up with Wal Mart. Arrived home at 8pm.

After about that 8ish mark – my enthusiasm to attack action steps is minimal – however if I started earlier, I could work all night on them! SO – all I have to show for my first 2 evenings of mass productivity – a couple craft supplies and a few groceries!

Clearly I must be really pumped to cross items off my list. Hmm…I just realized my list isn’t written down. Maybe I should work on that so I can accomplish and celebrate the milestones. I know better – I need to practice what I preach. I love the thoughts I generate while I blog AND when I write them out to share with you. As you’ve probably already realized – I’m crazy and quite human.

I trust that you can all relate that when we have the best intentions of getting SO much accomplished – we find and execute every excuse to avoid. However, if I needed to leave town tomorrow or someone was coming over to my house tomorrow – than I would get a MASSIVE amount completed tonight. It’s all about supply and demand of time.

I need to stop piddling and conquer my goals!!

I’m going to complete 1 task for each portfolio tonight. No matter how small, I’m not allowed to do more than 1 thing until the first is complete. If you do at least something every day to move towards accomplishing your goal, you’re moving in the direction of realizing it.

Thanks for letting me “vent”. I really needed to be publicly accountable for my action step list.

Hope your week is kicking off with a bang.

Hugs,
Robyn

Hope all of my Canadian friends had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration and feast on the weekend!

(Background information for my US friends – this is the only holiday we celebrate at a different time than you!)

Lucky me, my friend Deanne reminded me “One of the best things about a Canadian marrying and American is that you get to give Thanks twice in one year. That means turkey and Pumpkin pie twice!”. Since marrying a Texan, every other year we travel south to spend American Thanksgiving with my in-loves.

I LOVE turkey and pumpkin pie - so of course I had a competition with myself to see how much I could eat! He he…

My Mom's amazing Pumpkin Chiffon Pie!

My Mom's amazing Pumpkin Chiffon Pie!

Over the weekend, a few of our family members took in our friend’s cattle sale – Harvie Ranching. I got to hang out with my darling friend Justine.

Justine & Robyn

We admired the fall decor that they used to dress up the sale barn!

In case you haven’t already seen this clever poem:

May your stuffing be tasty,
may your turkey be plump,
may your potatoes and gravy have never a lump.
May your yams be delicious and your pies take the prize,
and may your Thanksgiving dinner stay off your thighs!

Happy Thanksgiving for last weekend Canadians and in just over a month Americans! I am so grateful for your friendship and support.

Magazine Collection

Jun 9

Posted by Robyn in Thoughts

What a breathe of fresh air for a Tuesday! I’ve wrote about how I’ve decluttered my life twice so far in, $12 Well Spent and Clear Your Clutter.

I loved reading a blog entry from my Twitter friend @JillChongva. Here is a synopsis:

“I Twittered on Sunday about how I was choosing to declutter my house to make room for the people in it.  Seriously, why was I hanging on to a years worth of magazines that had not moved from the shelf since the moment I put them there?

And a very wise young man (@ranjansaras) Twittered back about how we should be clearing out our failures to make way for more success.”

Jill goes on to share a challenge and more fantastic wisdom. Read more

Interestingly enough, I looked at my collection of magazines last night. My pile is in my office, creeping behind my chair. I’m going home today and making a trip to the recycle bin!

Mouse Hunt…

May 22

Posted by Robyn in Thoughts

I don’t have time to tell you all about my mouse story right now, but I thought these shots might make you smile on a Friday afternoon! I have a sales-related, motivational lesson to share with you when it all shakes out.

The jerks (the mice…not you!) have made home in my CAR this week. Ugh, I’m so unimpressed and disgusted. I absolutely despise the idea and sight of mice.

You might want to consider cleaning your vehicle REALLY well before you read my story next week about my “mice experience” on Wednesday. Unfortunately, it still continues…

Bluebonnet

The last two mornings I checked “Bluebonnet” (my blue VW Jetta) really well for my nasty friends, before jumping in and driving off…

Selfie
I need to learn how to take selfies from my friends Tamara & Nolan!

The mouse hunt continues…more details next week…

Clock

Posted by Robyn in Thoughts

Everyone comes into our life for a reason. I love to say that some come in for a season and others a lifetime, but everyone you come in to contact with has a purpose. Embrace the opportunity to become the person you are, from the experiences God blesses you with! I am so grateful for EACH one of you and the impact you’ve made in my life, thank you!

An excerpt from an email titled CLOCK I received yesterday,

clock

“God doesn’t give you the people you want, He gives you the people you NEED.  To help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make you into the person you were meant to be.”

I hope you have an amazing day. “I dare you to make someone smile or laugh!” – Robyn Beazley

Just think to yourself – what if that is the only smile or giggle they get in their day! Make a difference in someone else’s day!
