The last couple of weeks I’ve been very busy with many different projects.
If you didn’t already know, I’m currently a contestant in an online ‘reality show’ on business marketing.
It’s been very educational, but also lots of work (and it’s another reason we’re still in Panajachel instead of on the beach in El Salvador.)
Along with that, I’ve hired my first virtual assistant (yeah, welcome to Roxy… my sister in Thailand!)
I’m working on re-doing our book — Living Deliberately: How to Create a Ridiculously Awesome Life (look for that free update in the next few months.)
And a few other things…
But for now, you can view the posts from the last couple of weeks that you may have missed (because I didn’t send out an email update):

“Oh my. Hugs, high fives, and all the love and respect in the world are going out to you from me. Reading your blog made me shake my head and go ‘Wow, I’m so glad that there are people like that on this Earth!”
“You guys are inspiring! I love reading the stories. It’s intriguing really. It’s nice to see someone grab the bull by the horns and make things happen.
Now days its hard to find people with real passion and a desire to “live life on purpose”.”
“Reading your blog is better than reading a fiction book – incredible stories but they’re true!”
“‘Like’ is a vast understatement of how I feel about your book… I LOVE your writing. You so clearly express a jumble of gut feelings, and you giving them words just makes them more real in my life.
Not only do I admire the lifestyle you and your husband have created for your family, I feel deeply connected to your underlying purpose of intentional living.”
