BECOME your own INSPIRATION during ADVENTURE DAY

You have decided to change your life! 

You found your passion! 

You found your purpose! 

You know what you want! 

You worked hard on finding out what that is! 

You feel inspired to start! But then - self doubt sets in!

You set the intention to follow your heart. But then…is this really realistic? 

This isn’t the person you really are — or the person you want to be. 

Living with dreams, desires, making excuses why not to! 

You are capable of more.

You can change your life, one baby step at a time- or with a huge bang! The choice is yours! You can get through the little voices in your  head! 

As a human being you can become unstoppable! We can follow our small, or big fat dreams!

Adventure Day can help!

What is it?

ADVENTURE DAY is a day for women and men who say things like

 “I am ready to make a change, I just need a bit more motivation” or

 I know I can do this (whatever it is you are planning on doing), but I want to feel totally and utterly excited about it!

I want more than just visualizing my outcome! Oh.....I don't know what I want! I just want something different than just writing down my goals, intentions and plans of action!" 

ADVENTURE DAY 

is also for the  person who doesn't care about all the above! It is for the person who is looking for a fun, adventurous, interactive day out away from the same-old-same-old, in the company of the great outdoors and new friends!

When is it?

Sunday, August 30, 2015!

9.30 - 4.30pm in Maple Ridge at Loon Lake Lodge and Retreat Center!

What does the day include?
 A mini workshop on how to kiss our excuses goodbye with the most logical, actionable steps- ever!

A picnic lunch by the lake!

Three to four activities (depending on our group size) that make you realize "Gosh, these excuses I come up with are totally irrelevant!"

My book:

Access to the private grounds of Loon Lake!

Facilitation by the best adventure and personal development company in The Lower Mainland, Pinnacle Pursuits. 

Pinnacle Pursuits owner, Jono Wilcocks, is my partner in adventure during the day! Not only is he highly experienced, he is super fun too! 

Why have I created ADVENTURE DAY?

After immigrating to six different countries, travelling the world, written my book and pursuit my life dreams more than three times by now (fitness instructor on two continents, three countries, coffee shop owner and now web show presenter of Motherpreneur TV), I've identified  common excuses that stop people from living their small, or big fat dreams!. Even if they want to. Very badly.

Here are the most common ones

1.  I am holding on to what I have and what I know! It feels safe!

2. This is only a wonderful dream! This is too big and too far away. I have no clue where to start!

3. I am so afraid to fail, to embarrass myself!

What activities are we going to do?

We have several options, like the low and high ropes course, canoeing, rapelling or board breaking! Let us surprise you! 

What should I bring?

Apart from an open mind to experience something new and exciting-

a water bottle

proper outdoor shoes with a good grip,

sun lotion,

sun hat,

pen and paper,

your towel and your bathing suit (the water is crystal clear, refreshing and feels ohh so good! Don't worry, this isn't part of our day. Going swimming is totally up to you)!

                        

How much?

$160.00 per ticket!

I hope you can join us!

TRUMPED BY MY 9 YEAR OLD NIECE

Before I get on with the story you need to know three things:

1.)  I have a nine year old niece, Lenne,  - the up and coming queen of gymnastics. According to my parents this girl is made of jello.  If you believe the proud grandparents this girl can put the most talented member of Cirque du Soleil to shame.

2.) We currently live 9ooo km apart from each other, my niece, my parents and I.
Thanks to modern communication we stay in touch with random phone calls full of sweet nothingness.
If my niece is the princess of gym apparatus, my mom is the undefeated queen of random jibber jabber!

3.) There are two items on my bucket list I am horrified to do! That's why they are on the list; I strategically postponed these two actions successfully for 40 years. One of them is to do a back dive into the pool!

 "What, that's it?"
Easy for you to say! We all have our own personal fears and shortcomings to overcome - and the back dive is mine!

 Last week, out of the blue, I decided to take the plunge- literally. Don't ask me why, I just wanted to do it ! Who am I to encourage, motivate and inspire to Just do it if I am not doing it myself?

A plain and simple, straight backwards back dive is all I ever wanted to complete and experience since I am about 8 years old!

Why haven't I done it?
 I am afraid! I am afraid to break my back and to hit my head somewhere. I am afraid of not being flexible enough. Letting go, falling backwards into the big unknown freaks me out! Until last Tuesday that is!

Here is the abbreviated version of how it went:  Y E S, I did it! HURRAH - I let myself go - and survived!

As you can read, this back dive is a pretty huge accomplishment in my life! For good measure I did the dive six times; to make sure I am not a one-hit-diver!


A few days later our long distance line was busy with my mom's desperate attempt to figure out her yearly pre- Christmas- dilemma:
 What can she send whom and how for the holy season? In between my non -helpful suggestions (just send some sweets, we have everything) my mother kept on asking:
 "So tell me, what is new?"

Regardless of how many times I answer this question in general, she keeps on asking the same thing, over and over again; as if she is hoping something spectacular is going to happen while she is on the line!

I don't know if my parents ever knew about this personal absession of mine. Regardless, I told them. I told them about my personal victory, about how I conquered my fear diving backwards into a pool!
After I finished with "I did it!" there was nothing, just (stunned????) silence on their end!

This was mom's reaction to one of my most courageous, personal challenges so far:
 "You should see what Lenne can do!  It is unbelievable how this girl can bend herself into a pretzel!"

Isn't it funny?
 Some things mean the world to you- but they mean little or nothing to others; personal or business accomplishments mean nothing if we brag about them to the wrong audience!
