Shelf Reliance Convention




I went on the best trip last week.  Justin tried to go with me but had to fly instead, so we got babysitters for our kiddos and I took off with a friend, Becky!  We flew to Salt Lake City, Utah for a Shelf Reliance Convention.  I won my way there for earning points....I think I only spent $5 the whole time and came home with a $500 travel voucher too (that's a whole other story)!


I came back so motivated and so happy to be proud of such an uplifting, charitable, successful company!!!  After sitting in classes and hearing wonderful people speak, learning from so many amazing people I came home with a renewed spirit to dream, set my goals high and feel like I can get there!!!  I'm not just talking about Shelf Reliance either...for some reason I needed that "little girl dreaming" to come back. 

I have a very vivid picture of me laying in my bed each night before I would fall asleep dreaming of exactly what my life was going to be...who I was going to marry, how many kids I would have, where I was going to live, etc.  I cannot describe to you the feeling I have when I sit back and realize I'm there...those dreams have come about.  The power of visualizing these things really does work!!!

Once again, I feel like Justin and I are at a cross road...we admit we're a bit tired these days...we're sometimes forgetting to visualize and dream again.  This little trip woke me up some how!  I love that our choices we make on a daily basis can set us on sooo many different paths...I love that when we choose the path our Heavenly Father would have us take we're soooo happy, our edges are rounded out, our weaknesses somehow transform to strengths and our dreams become bigger and more true then we ever thought they could be!

I'm rambling and rambling, but want to remember forever the feelings of motivation, strength, possibilities that I came back from this trip having.  It's so hard to leave a little house of the most beautiful children in the world and there is nothing I love more than coming home to kisses and hugs and treasuring every little thing again!!!  (That hunk of a man I have too)
