We thoroughly enjoyed Asheville, NC. I won tickets to Biltmore through a giveaway from Jaime at Love, Jaime. Trent and I had been once before in February 2006. While we had a great adventure and enjoyed the Rooftop Tour then (something we definitely wouldn’t be doing now with kids along), I knew I wanted to plan a visit for warmer weather and to see at least some of the garden in bloom so I planned our trip for the start of our son’s latest school track out.

It was a whirlwind couple of days with our son getting diagnosed with a double ear infection the night before and us leaving earlier than planned on Wednesday morning as the roofing company arrived to replace our roof! Another check off the “to do” list at the foreclosure house, but back to the trip …
In our short 48 hours we managed to:
- Visit Carl Sandburg Home in Flat Rock where we met the 4 newest kids at the goat farm. My son and I added cancellations to our NPS Passport books, and my daughter got her own Passport;
- Make a quick urgent care visit for me (not how I planned to start this trip);
- Have dinner with my sister-in-law and nieces in Hendersonville;
- Spend a day with them at Biltmore Estate touring the house & gardens and enjoying a treat at the Creamery;
Late in the afternoon taking a quick photo as requested by my son in the Biltmore Gardens.
- Drive part of the Blue Ridge Parkway and visit the Visitor’s Center where we added more cancellations to our Passports and our son got his first set of stamps which made for great entertainment on the trip home;
- Visit the Western NC Nature Center where we saw bears, otters, snakes, foxes, sheep, etc;
- Have lunch at the drive-thru/walk-up only Chick-fil-A.
I completely forgot this existed until we saw it. Yes, I’m sure there were probably other “local” cool spots to eat, but remember, we were traveling with 2 kids and I was feeling more & more under the weather so something quick & easy plus a tad unique was good enough before our long drive home.
In spite of being sick, we had a wonderful trip and I’m so glad we went.

![No one has escaped the challenges that 2020 has offered
The question is: Are you going to let 2020 define you? Or are you going to create your own narrative?
✨{𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄}✨ 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞
[3 Part Masterclass Series Oct. 22-24]
I know you. The over achiever. The planner. The one who doesn't appreciate failure, changes, or surprises. You desire to have things under control -- and 2020 was NOT in our control.
Because over the past 7 years of living life as a coach, I wanted to control everything. Yet - things happened that I couldn't control. And my mindset was tested daily.
❗️Getting fired 3 times!
❗️Almost getting evicted.
❗️Having collections & IRS calling me daily.
❗️Having to shut down my first business.

We are now wrapping up the year of 2020:
✏️Do you have a sense of certainty on your direction?
✏️Do you feel solid in your confidence to make it though?
✏️Do you feel like 2020 is happening TO you, or FOR you?
✏️Do you experience anxiety, and want to move into joy and gratitude?
If these questions resonate with you, you've come to the right place. In this 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 & 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞, (starting on Oct. 22) I will teach you...how to have clarity, confidence, and certainty [plus much more!]
