The Hemmings’ Family Adventure

Christmas and New Year’s in Daytona Beach, Florida

What a wonderful way to spend the holidays, on a beach in Florida, I wish that everyone at some point in their lives gets to experience the excitement of this very simple thing. You see, coming for a long history of snowy “white” Christmases, a white sandy beach Christmas was kind of nice. The white caps of the waves instead of the white capped houses of the cold. I can handle it.

We spent Christmas in a condo on the beach. All we had to do is open our drapes and their was the water crashing in to the shore. It was one of the most spectacular sites to see. The girls made a wonderful tissue paper tree on our patio door and with the ocean as the background it was stunning. So we could look outside, see the ocean, but know it was still Christmas. The girls were ecstatic.

Christmas Eve was another wonderful experience. We found a Drive In church, yes Drive In! Just like the old outdoor movies. We drove into the lot, tuned our radio to 88.5 FM, looked up at the big house and their they were, choir and all singing from the balcony! The minister did his entire piece from the balcony, the “offering” was collected by golf cart and the communion and wine were given in little plastic Dixie cups as we entered the lot. The choir sang, we honked. The minister made a joke, we honked, it was one of the most fun “church” experiences I have ever had. So if you are ever in Daytona Beach, it is right on the AIA (Atlantic Drive) just North of Dunlawton Ave (one of the main bridges that take you to the mainland.) I highly recommend the experience.

We woke Christmas morning to gifts from Santa: binoculars for Rydel, an astronomers laser pointer for Taylor Rae and a “day at the beach (toys and margarita mix) for the family. I LOVE Santa! We all got wetsuits as a “day-before-Christmas” present so we just had to try them out. The ocean was cold, but hey it was Christmas in Florida, we had to swim. We lasted about 20 mins!

The rest of the week was a quiet week. Catching up on some school work and trying out the new wet suits.

New Year’s Eve in Daytona Beach, so what do you do with an 8 year old and an 12 year old in tow? Well, we had Chinese food for dinner, played some games, sung some Karaoke (BTW, I had the high score for the night!), then headed down to Main Street about 10 PM. The street, about 6 blocks, was all blocked off from cars, vendors were set up and there were a few thousand people hanging around. We walked around some, had some ice-cream, met some “interesting” people, watched the fireworks over the river and called it a night. Ang, my dear friend from outside of Calgary, Alberta came down so it was nice to ring in the New Year with friends and family. New Year’s Day was spent just being. Ang and I took a long walk on the beach, the girls and daddy surfed, everyone got exactly what they wanted for the New Year. Good friends, good family, good fun.

January 12– Feb 6 will be spent in the Dominican Republic in an apartment in Cabarete. We are excited and nervous all at the same time. I for one have been saying “all I need to do business is my internet”. Well here is my chance to try out my theory. Wish me luck.

Thank you Isagenix for the vehicle to live out our dreams. We are truly blessed!

Traveling update

So funny things happen along the way. We were just driving along the freeway, not even speeding (so Dywayne says) and all of a sudden the gauges go all whacky. And the tack gets stuck!

So what do we do? Well we log on to the AMA website, we find the nearest approved service station (that is an online feature!) We call them and the mechanic says, bang on the dashboard. So we did, nothing happened. So my amazingly creative husband stuck a zip strip in the hole where the odometer rest button is and flicked it until it went back into place. It only sustained minor damage! (see pic below) LOL!

Text Box: We are so happy and grateful now that each day when we wake up we are able to truly say that we are living our dreams. We are being a family and enjoying our time together. We are helping others gain control of their lives using Isagenix as a wonderful tool. We are truly blessed to be living the life we are. Thank you everyone!

~ We noticed that the only tall buildings in Daytona Beach are the hotels along the ocean.

~ Isagenix is so easy, we met new clients in the hot tub of our resort (welcome to the team Catherine and Verlyn!)

~ We love meeting new friends on the beach.

~ We saw a store called “Nudist’s Paradise—Where the nudist can shop in confidence” And we just wondered what do nudists buy in Florida? We both giggled and said “sunscreen”!

Things that make us smile while travelling.

Nurture your mind with great thoughts, for you will never go any higher than you think. ******************* Leadership calls So for the next couple of months, the calls will be role playing calls. They will be a great opportunity for you to hear and to practise what to say to people. Our next calls will be: Sunday, February 3 Sunday, February 10 Sunday, February 17 Sunday, February 24 **Calls time has changed 6 PM PST 7 PM MST 8 PM CST 9 PM EST ******************* The power of January Ever wonder what gives January do much power in our culture? History tells us that January was named after Janus, the god of beginning and the guardian of doors and entrances. He was always depicted with two faces, one on the front of his head and on the back. Thus he could look forward and backward at the same time. Forward and back at the same time...that is what we do isn’t it? I have a lot of friends who pull out their day planner of the last year and reflect on where they have been and where they are going. I have others that excitedly say, well it’s a New Year, fresh start, let’s go. And others who say OMG not another year. So what makes some look at January with anticipation and others with regret? It is the person and where they think they are in their life. Yes where they THINK they are. We are currently only a result of our past. We are who we are today because of where we have been, who we have known and what we have thought. So while you are sitting there wondering whether your year was a success or not, just remember, you can not change the past, but you can relive it. Ultimately the choice is yours. Sure you can be like Janus and look forward and back, but it will be your choice in which direction you will move. Happy New Year my friends! May the blessings of the universe be yours this year, you truly deserve it.
