"Vacation all I ever wanted, vacation had to get away...." ( Yes -- I am a product of the 80's and every time I hear the word "vacation", I can't help it, I start singing.) After a heck of a week, Jim and I journeyed to the central coast in California for some much needed rest and relaxation. I requested no cell phones, no computer/email access and no PDA's. My husband reluctantly complied and I had a harder time than he did being without my many devices. Because I never quite turn off my leadership spidey senses, I connected with some incredible business owners and met a few upside thinkers along the way. During our time in Cayucos and Cambria, we explored the countryside and were in awe with its beauty. We laughed, ate fabulous food and laughed some more. One of the parts of the Go-Go's song that I disagree with is the next line which proclaims, "Vacation meant to be spent alone." I couldn't imagine "riding the upside" without Jim. Which brings me to one of the most exciting parts of our trip....the decision to launch a product line of Upside Thinking for all of the upside thinkers out there! Yeah for my supportive husband! I had to Go-Go it up and get away so I could get the creative juices flowing again. Be on the lookout for the Upside Living line in 2007!
