Oops, We Did It Again! 😉

Newest Recruit Joining the Chaos!

Hey everyone! We’ve been a bit MIA lately, and for good reason. We’ve been working on a few big goals, developing some exciting projects, and, oh yeah, growing our little family! 💕

We decided to take a well-deserved break to focus on the present and future, making sure our kids grow up with fully present parents and that we don’t miss out on each other either.

We’re beyond excited for this next chapter—don’t get us wrong, it freaks us out too! But that’s exactly what makes us thrive. We know it won’t be easy, but it will definitely be worth it. This is what helps us love deeper, grow stronger, and embrace the beautiful chaos together.

Here’s to the next big adventure! 🎉🫶🏻👶🏻

Willpower: The Ignition of Immeasurable Change...
________________________________________

Yesterday, we honoured an extraordinary milestone that marked two years since Phil made the most pivotal decision of his life. Two transformative years since he bid adieu to a 21-year-old smoking addiction. The journey was challenging, demanding immense determination, unyielding perseverance, infinite patience, and solid resilience. Yet here we are today, witnessing the powerful testament of his willpower.

This willpower has been the catalyst—the key, enabling him to discern what truly matters in life and build an enduring legacy. It’s the driving force behind the unwavering focus he now has on our business and our future.

Standing here today, my heart swells with pride as I look at the man Phil has become. The second to last image in this post, taken just over three years ago, and the final image as a teenager, both from before our paths crossed, capture him at his most vulnerable - smoking, drinking, unhealthy, yet dreaming of a brighter future. Now, where vice and addiction once reigned, passion, growth and purpose flourish. His transformation, both inside and out, is nothing short of inspiring.

And to those grappling with addiction, remember, you are not alone. Believe in your strength, for just like Phil, you too can overcome and thrive.

Learning to love the seasons of life...
__________________________________________

Those who have followed us for a while know that we have a deep-seated love for the great outdoors. We thrive amidst nature, breathing in the crisp air, noticing the subtle changes of the seasons, experiencing the serene beauty that surrounds us.

But now, with the arrival of our little girl, Wolfie, our priorities have naturally shifted. Our once adventurous hikes through hills and mountains have taken a backseat as we patiently introduce her to the wonders of nature through gentle walks in the park. Everything is new - to her, and to us. It’s a different kind of adventure, one that unfolds slowly, quietly, filled with precious moments of discovery and bonding.

We know that very soon, she will be scrambling up rocks, running up mountains, exploring the world with boundless energy. And when those days come, we will look back at these slow days with a sense of nostalgia and appreciation, knowing they were fleeting, yet profoundly impactful.

Life isn’t always about doing, moving, chasing. Sometimes, life is about just being. Being present, being mindful, indulging in the simple pleasures that are right before our eyes. These slow days are a testament to that. They teach us the art of patience, the beauty of stillness, the joy of simply being.

So, we cherish these slow days. We soak in every moment, every smile, every tiny discovery, because we know they are just as important. They help us appreciate what we have, how far we’ve come, and the beautiful journey that lies ahead.

A gentle reminder to embrace the slow days, the lively ones, and everything in between. But most importantly, a reminder of the joy of being present, and living each moment to the fullest.

Navigating the Odyssey of Life with a partner who helps you shoot for the stars ✨
_____________________________________________

As we celebrated our 2nd anniversary in style at a shooting ground, we couldn't help but see it as a metaphor for our shared journey.

It's been two years since we took that leap of faith, firing an arrow of trust into the heart of love, guided by intuition and aiming towards a brighter future together. We understood that we couldn’t run with the hare and hunt with the hounds if we wanted to stay true to ourselves. So, we set our sights and hit the bullseye. 🎯

At times, life presents us with tough choices that can lead us towards grandeur or simplicity. For us, we were aware of the lofty goals we set, dreams we yearned to fulfill, and fears we aimed to overcome. We've become each other’s propelling force, lifting us higher than we ever imagined possible.

Our narrative is still being written, and yes, it has been a whirlwind of highs and lows, unexpected twists and turns. Yet, the voyage becomes immensely more significant when you have a companion who not only backs you but also assists you in morphing into your finest self.

Having a partner who shares your dreams and believes in them as strongly as you do is a rare gift. The path to realising your dreams will undoubtedly have its rough patches, moments filled with self-doubt and trepidation. But having that special someone who stands firm by your side, offering reassurance and motivation, genuinely makes all the difference.

Together, we face adversity head-on, transforming obstacles into stepping stones towards triumph.

Pioneering the architecture of your family’s future…

_____________________________________________

As parents in a digital age, we stand at the forefront of shaping a new era of legacy—one that embodies authenticity, resilience, and the courage to dream big…very big in fact!

We want our children to see us not just as parents, but as inspiring role models who dared to chase their dreams, even in an online world.

We discovered who our parents were as people, and now, it's our turn to reflect on the person we are becoming for our children. Are we living a life true to ourselves? Are we embodying the values and principles we want to pass onto the next generation? Are we working hard and smart enough to find a solution to what has become a very bleak working life norm?…We can finally say we are.

Our responsibility transcends the traditional roles of parenting. We must ensure that we are the people our children will be proud of when they uncover our true selves, even in a virtual realm. Leave behind a footprint that inspires and empowers, and watch as your children carry that torch forward into the world.

Encourage them to explore their interests, to dream big, and to believe in their potential. But remember, telling them isn't enough—it’s imperative to lead by example.
When we pursue our own passions, overcome obstacles, and demonstrate resilience in the face of adversity, we embody the very lessons we aim to teach. We show them that dreams are not just figments of our imagination, but attainable goals that can be achieved with hard work, determination, and belief in oneself, regardless of the platform.

In doing so, we become living examples of the power of dreams, thereby inspiring our children to dream much larger and never stop expanding or chasing their own. And in this digital age, we teach them that working online can offer freedom and flexibility in all aspects, while still allowing them to make a meaningful impact.

Be the role model you want your children to emulate…

The genesis of a generation...
_____________________________________________

New beginnings are always electrifying, especially when they revolve around children; they represent the future and offer a sense of hope with unlimited possibility.

Of course, here, we are relating the significance of our daughter’s arrival as our new beginning. Albeit, it’s not just larger life events such as this which we are solely referring to.

Grasp any and every opportunity for a new origin story: take that first leap, and see where it takes you—who knows what treasures truly await without fully giving ourselves to a new way of life! Risk it for Heaven’s sake. We all need fresh starts more than we think. It’s not failure to transform from who we currently are and transcend to a newer, more mature and powerful version.

Do you remember reading the book of Genesis as a kid and learning about how the world was created in just seven days? Well, just like in that story, every day is a chance for a new beginning.

Whether you have decided to listen to your intuition rather than unsupportive figures, moving to a foreign city far, far away, or are embarking on a new business venture, there's something invigorating about wiping the slate clean and starting afresh. It's like getting an overhaul; a chance to make things better than they were before.

Embrace new beginnings and remember that anything, we repeat, ANYTHING is possible even if it takes more than seven days…

Our challenges are the gateways of opportunity…
_____________________________________________

The reality is that life is not invariably fair and every so often it throws obstacles in our tracks. We have the choice to be crippled by them or conversely use them as an opportunity to grow, learn, and transcend.

We can effortlessly give up when faced with a provocative hurdle, but it takes strength, courage, perseverance, and pure grit to stay determined and carry on—the only differential between victorious people and the unsuccessful?…The triumphant don’t give up.

Our challenges are life-altering opportunities for us to take charge of our fates and create the destinies we desire most for ourselves. They offer us the mechanism to success and a life of freedom, the master-keys to unlatch the doors to higher possibilities.

Never let your challenges preclude you from reaching your full potential—rather choose to utilize them as passageways of opportunity on your expedition towards eminence and prosperity!

Ultimately, it all boils down to embracing change through the bravery of trying something new—allowing us to tap into the true potential within ourselves that we never knew we possessed.

Welcome adversity rather than fearing it…

“If taught in the right way, the child reveals wonders, and I assure you that a new world will come from the revelations of the youth of the day, and not from leaders of today.” -Dr. Montessori

Children are members of our generations to whom respect is due more than any other age, superior to us by reason of their innocence and of the greater possibilities of their time ahead.

There is something so special about children that remind us to be our best selves. They appear in our lives as a clean slate, pure and free thinking, with so much potential for what lies ahead.

How lucky are we to be given the opportunity to nurture such saintly little souls and help them bloom into kind, compassionate human being?

We may be wiser, more experienced, and more knowledgeable than them in our eyes, but we still owe them the same courtesy and kindness that we expect in return.

With their whole lives ahead of them, children have so much potential to impact our world. We have a duty of care and responsibility to nurture their innocence and provide them with a safe space where they can learn, grow, and thrive. Allowing them room for expression and independence; with love, respect and genuine encouragement from us adults.

Children will reach heights we never thought possible…

Circadian rhythm reboot.
____________________________________________

We can often find ourselves so consumed by our hectic daily routines that we forget to appreciate the miracle of each and every moment.

We burden our minds with unattainable tasks and absurd expectations for the day, yet, there is something truly special about pausing and embracing the elemental joys that this world has to offer—catching an awe-inspiring sunrise up in the hills for us.

Such a simple but powerful act provokes us to take a step back and appreciate the beauty of nature and peace within our own souls. It's an essential reset for us and it allows maximum creativity to flow for the rest of the day.

When we open ourselves up to such moments, we allow ourselves to become brimming with a sense of wonderment, vitality, and gratitude for another new day.

So why not take time out for yourself today, tomorrow, or every day if your lifestyle permits. Enjoy one of life's simplest but purest pleasures— watch that winter sun rise over all that lies ahead, above and below.

And if you skipped today, set that alarm for tomorrow. You won't regret it.

The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are…
_____________________________________________

When you get what you want in your struggle for pelf,

And the world makes you King for a day,

Then go to the mirror and look at yourself,

And see what that guy has to say.

For it isn’t your Father, or Mother, or Wife,
who judgement upon you must pass.

The feller whose verdict counts most in your life
is the guy staring back from the glass.
 
 He’s the feller to please, never mind all the rest,

For he’s with you clear up to the end,

And you’ve passed your most dangerous, difficult test
if the guy in the glass is your friend.

You may be like Jack Horner and “chisel” a plum,

And think you’re a wonderful guy,

But the man in the glass says you’re only a bum

If you can’t look him straight in the eye.

You can fool the whole world down the pathway of years,

And get pats on the back as you pass,

But your final reward will be heartaches and tears

If you’ve cheated the guy in the glass.

– Dale Wimbrow –

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.
