Wow! What a Weekend!!

It's hard to believe we spent over 50 hours with Tony Robbins over the past 4 days. I had every intention of recording my thoughts each day, but once we got back to the room (usually after midnight) my head hit the pillow like a rock. After day one we realized that we had to pack strategically for a day with no breaks. Imagine from 8:30 in the morning until 1:30 am without a meal break. If you didn't bring food and water you had to leave during a talk to replenish. And of course Tony Robbins was so compelling I even forgot to eat the food we had brought. The days where filled with so many amazing insights and experiences surrounded by celebrations to change your state of mind. There was loud music, dancing, singing, and clapping. At times it felt like we where at a great rock concert (that just didn't stop!) Once we were in a peak state, Tony took us on a journey of personal discovery analyzing our beliefs, needs and patterns and then intentionally creating our future with new empowering thoughts and strategies. We meditated, and cried, laughed, and connected. I've always had great respect for Tony Robbins, but he really did give us way more than I had expected. Above all I feel a deep sense of gratitude for my life and the people in it. Life will never be the same!! If your looking for an experience that is thrill seeking, but also life changing you can come with me next time - I definitely have to do that again!!

I drank the Koolaid

Omg! I feel like I spent a crazy night in vegas last night. I woke up this morning feeling like a truck hit me. Im exhausted, starving, and sore. But I made it through the fire! Surprisingly, the fire walk was no party trick, and you can get hurt. I did get burned on one foot. Slept with a wet towel on it, and even though it hurt I was still able to pass out. between the excitement of getting here, the delayed flight and the marathon Robbins session yesterday, I think we've had about 10 hours of sleep. And we've got 3 more days to go! I think Tony would say "You can sleep when your dead.". Despite my Robbins hangover I'm learning lots and looking forward to another day of ah ha moments and new insights! When the brain fog clears I'll share them with you!

If at first...

I'm on my way to see Tony Robbins once again. This time in California and this time with my husband Jay and my Dad - well sort of. Even though my Dad past away a few months ago he promised me he would walk on fire with me.

In fact, when he made that promise, that was the moment I knew he wasn't going to make it. It would have been really out of character for him.

So I know he'll be there not only in spirit but I've also brought a little piece of him too. (even got it past customs!)

I might be an emotional wreak, but I'm sure it will be an unforgettable experience.

Its no surprise that this time my purpose is different. Instead of being inspired to take my life to a new level, it's become so much more. This time my purpose is to embrace my limitations, old patterns, and self limiting beliefs. All the things that hold me back. This time I have the intention of creating a new plan. A blue print for a life worth living, full of love and meaning. This time I intend to live on purpose. It's a tall order for Tony, I know. But who better...

If at first you are pulled away from walking on fire... Try, try again!
