Goal Of The Month: Blogging

It is getting so hard to believe how fast this year is going by....is it seriously almost August? I mean, seriously????


It is sometimes hard to stay focused when you have so many different aspects of your life happening all at once. It gets difficult to remember to do the things that are always important to you, that always matter. My goal for the 2nd half of the year is to try and blog more. Blog for Zehn, blog for myself, blog about AIP, anything and everything. It is amazing how much social media can make a difference.

I think because i don't blog very much it is always hard to start off. Where do I begin? What to start with first? I guess I will start with the things that are most important!!

It seems like atleast twice a week I fall in love with Kevin all over again. It is amazing to see how much he has grown, how much I can really love someone, and how he is really turning into an incredible man. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't feel incredibly grateful for the events that have taken place in the past four years... yes, four years. I can't even believe it. We have been together for 4 years in August. It is amazing!! :)

My relationship with Kevin reminds me of all the other relationships I have with those in my life which are also wonderful. I love the fact that Wendie is my true BFF... yes, I said it. BFF. I love that there is basically absolutely NO drama. She is obviously one of the coolest chicks I know.

As things happen in my life, my relationships with those in my life tend to shift. Although I no longer have a strong relationship with my mother and sister, other women have come into my life to almost fill in the gaps and become what I need them to be in my life. I have learned so much from so many wonderful women. Tiea, Wendie, Jen Weichers, Bethy, Kathy (aka future mother in law), Beth, Beverly - my grandmother, and Candy. The positive influences and positive attiudes are refreshing and welcoming and exactly what I need in my life.

In the upcoming months we will be preparing for our "big move" - yup, its true! Although Kevin and I have been living together for almost our entire relationship, we think it is time to move out and actually get our own place instead of living with "roommates" that happen to be my relatives. There are soooooo so many things to look forward to!! And also a few things that seem scary - but I have no fear. Things will work themselves out and I believe our relationship will truly flourish. I am really looking forward to having a nice lovely apt or little house where all of our things can be the way we want them. I am mostly looking forward to having all of my nice kitchen stuff NOT being ruined all the time.

Zehn Naturals is realllllly kicking ass this year!! We beat our sales for the entire year of 2008 back in June. Basically, we are expecting our profits and sales to double before the end of the year if not more than double. We have gotten almost 70 new accounts just this year!! In addition to the wonderful local accounts, we managed to get approved for Whole Foods after two years! Yahoooo!! We are already in two of the East Coast WFM and plan to tackle many more. We also added two new Akin's accounts - which is fantastic!!

We are also about to launch a Onesie line and a line of longsleeves in the next month. Onesies...wow. I can't wait!! We just got samples in the other day and they are freaking fantastic!!

It has been a long time since I posted a blog -- since then I have turned 22. I guess it isn't such a big celebratory age, but it feels great and inspiring that my life just sort of some how continues to get better and better. And I thought 2007 would be my best year yet... Little did I know.... life only gets better!!

Art in the Park is coming up fast!!! I have been working my hiny off the past 6 months to prepare for this thing. Little did I know what being the "Chair" of Art in the Park meant... but I certainly know now. After months and months of work, I think this event will be truly successful for all who attend! I am so excited that Wendie will be in the booth RIGHT next to me. This makes the event so much different... :) In such a good way!

It feels like summer is just...whizzing by. I have to admit that I do like the storms we are getting. There is nothing I like more then sitting on the porch and watching a storm come in, seeing what mother nature is all about.

For the first year of many to come, I have started a potted organic garden!!! I have 7 tomatoe plants, a yellow pepper plant, rosemary, basil, chives and garlic chives. Having a garden is exciting!! I want to be able to grow all of my vegtables at some point so I don't have to always rely on supermarkets and such. The vegtables I do need, I tend to buy from a local farm or 24 Carrots which carries local organic veggies. I just recently got some Walla Walla onions from the little farm on Court St in Keene. I love them!!!

Okay, so blog number one of many more to come wasn't so bad. Good thing I am a fast typer, otherwise this would have taken a lot longer!!

That is all for now! Thank you for reading... :) Peace, Love, and Abundance to all you readers out there! :)
