Living My Dreams!
Hey folks,
For those of you who don't know me, I joined in August of 2016. For the first three months I blogged daily on WA and was very involved with the community. I became an ambassador right about the time my businesses started taking off. I decided affiliate marketing was not for me, but I still truly appreciated all that I through my participation here in the WA community. For those of you who do know me, if you are on Instagram, I update daily (TantraFit). I would love to reconnect with those of you who I got to know during my time focusing on WA!
August is also the month that we bought a 2-acre "micro farm" here in Iowa where my husband's family lives (I grew up in Canada). The farm is really coming together! We have a huge crop of garlic planted, a small patch of strawberries, 2 dogs, 2 cats, and our backyard brood of chickens are thriving and now product a dozen eggs per day!
I wake up to the glorious Midwest views, sip my coffee in my hot tub, do some yoga, write for a bit, then coach a client or two (via Skype) and spend the rest of my day with my family, friends, and pets. I remember writing a post about my perfect life/day. I have achieved those goals for myself!
I have a new goal. I want to get back to globe trotting and I plan on leading retreats in fall 2017 and beyond. I am attending a SUP Yoga certification course in San Diego in October, so I am practicing my skills this summer. Life is still a little more isolated than I am used to (my family and lifelong friends still live in BC).
Our oldest two kids moved out of the home that we bought for them, so we now have a lovely family renting our house. It is my first time being an actual landlord and we are making a decent profit from our investment (we bought our current rental house as a foreclosure in 2013 and lived in it until we moved to the acreage we purchased last year). I am considering developing my LaptopDiva brand into a consulting and marketing business focusing on supporting entrepreneurs to stop dreaming and start doing.
The photo is one of me was from this morning. I am setting up a yoga and meditation space in our gazebo! Please excuse my hair, I had literally just rolled out of bed to do my morning meditation! Sending blessings of abundance, success, and happiness to each of you! From my heart to yours, Joy

Looks like a pretty good life you have built! Enjoy and all the success in the world for you! Growing up in the mid-west/Canada, I can relate to the lifestyle there you describe...Cheers! Dave : )
Yeah? Cool! I was right on the border in International Falls, the inspiration for the 'Frostbite Falls' home of the old "Rockie and Bullwinkle" cartoons hehe) plus some of the family is in Ontario all the way up to Winnipeg, Manitoba, with a smattering in Wisconsin (we forgive them Green Bay fans 2 times a year at least)...
I left when I was 17 after high school, but go back to do some fishing and visiting once in a while...There is something special about the place, I will say that.
I have had the luck to see many other places, but still, I enjoy the area (and watch the Vikings from all over the globe, wherever I may be, hehe)...In Iowa, we have some close friends in Germany with family members there, so I have stopped in many times over the years...
Life is somehow slower and simpler, things slow down, not a bad thing at all...More time to think, do yoga (smile), and listen to the birds and enjoy the wildlife (like the MN state bird the mosquito?) you find there...
Ahhhh, I envy you (kidding, happy for you!)!!
Dave : )
