Laura in Utah

Laura had a wonderful time in Utah April 5-12, 2011, she attended a Nu Skin summit, visited friends, attended the General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints on Sunday afternoon.
In this picture, Laura is standing in front of the Salt Lake City temple on what is known as Temple Square in Utah. It is amazing architecture! Some consider it one of the wonders of the world because of the harsh conditions and sparse resources in Utah at that time.
The temple represents the pioneers, including some of Laura's ancestors, who settled the Utah territory in the 1800's. It is constructed of granite stone from a quarry in the near-by Rocky mountains that loom protectively over the Utah valley.

Temple Locale
Positioned on Salt Lake City's center block, known as Temple Square, the spires of the Salt Lake Temple rise amid downtown high-rises and super malls. Sharing the block are the North Visitors' Center and South Visitors' Center; the Tabernacle, home of the famous Mormon Tabernacle Choir; and the Gothic-style Assembly Hall. East of the temple is the masterfully landscaped Main Street Plaza, complete with reflecting pool. Beyond the plaza is the Church's world headquarters, known as the Church Office Building, and the Joseph Smith Memorial Building—a multipurpose Church building, which has become a popular wedding event center. The Church's Conference Center, an architectural masterpiece, lies directly north of the temple. Every holiday season, Temple Square is transformed into a highly popular display of hundreds of thousands of Christmas lights.

Texas, Austin Park Plaza Apartments

Another purpose for John and Laura's trip to Texas was to work on their apartments, Austin Park Plaza Apartments and Park Plaza II. John has been working with the City of Austin to get the bank along Little Walnut Creek repaired after it was damaged during construction of the city's new clean water system. This has been a long process, but it seems after 5 long years, the city is about to repair the bank.

What's your MONEY BLUEPRINT?

One of the exciting things John and Laura did while they were in Texas was attend a seminar called

"Millionaire Mind Intensive"

This was an event John planned, as Laura is not as keen on seminars as John, however, it seemed that Laura enjoyed it as much as John, or nearly.
The name of the seminar MMI sounds odd, but in reality, it was about accepting wealth for the purpose of improving your life and the lives of others. Many times people feel unworthy of wealth for a number of reasons. This seminar explored reasons and excuses people have that prevent them from becoming wealthy, that were developed early in life, known as your "Money Blueprint".
Fortunately people can begin to change their "Money Blueprint", once they are aware of it.
