Snowbird City

Steven has been doing some training for work down in Ft. Lauderdale so I decided to use my AA miles and go. I love Florida. I grew up going to the panhandle for vacations with my family and sometimes even got to bring a friend along. But...this part of Florida was much different....more of like a city on the beach. People everywhere...people escaping the cold to come to Florida for the winter. Florida residents call those people snowbirds.
We also got to celebrate Steven's 40th birthday. He doesn't look 40 does he? This photo above was taken the night of his birthday. We went to a restaurant called Casablanca Cafe on the beach. So now we both have been out of town on our 40th birthdays. Maybe we are in denial of our age so we get away. :)
This was my yummy drink at one of the restaurants on Islamorada...an island of the Keys. We decided to take advantage and drive down to the Keys one day.
Loved getting to wear my shorts in February. Ahhh..how I miss the warm weather there. Here in Texas we have our "warm" days in the winter, but in Florida, it's warm a lot of days throughout the winter months. I even got a little bit of a tan. I love getting a tan.
This was our view from our balcony. Our hotel was actually on a canal. It's prettier than this pic above. This was just part of our view. Instead of trains like by our house, its boats and of course yachts you have to wait for in Florida.
And this is the view I saw at the beach. Doesn't look crowded here on this part of the beach, but most other parts were. Too busy for me, but beautiful at the same time. My friend Jonni warned me that almost anyone could wear a bikini here and she wasn't kidding. I saw all kind of outfits. Everything from Speedos on old men to bikinis on every kind of body you can imagine.
It was a great time. Not back to reality. Now I can't wait for summer to get here. No beach near me, but at least I'll be able to enjoy the warm weather again.

What's the Secret?

So the secret is out, but Steven and I have known about it for a while. What secret you ask? Well, Secret Weapon the book of course by Kevin Freeman. The above picture was taken at a meeting with Kevin Freeman helping him get ready to launch his book.

What is Secret Weapon about? Well, the fight against economic terrorism of course. What you ask is so great about this book? It explains what happen to our economy. The terrorists have attacked. This time they have manipulated the oil market, manipulated our stock market through naked short selling, and short selling, etc. and well the 3rd phase which Kevin says we are in right now is the devaluation of the US dollar. Yep...the dollar may not be the reserve currency of the world anymore soon. Scary huh?

Once the book came out on January 16th, it wasn't too long before Kevin was asked to appear on Glenn Beck for 3 days in one week. Amazing! Then, Secret Weapon made it to #17 on the NY Times Best Sellers List the first week it was out! The word was getting out and Secret Weapon was and still climbing the charts. Soon the book made it to #16.
People have come to hear Kevin speak at events and book signings. We are trying to help him get the message out. It's not about selling books as much as it is getting the word out to save our country. We are at war. This time its not planes crashing into buildings, it's an attack on how we live. Jobs have been lost, companies have failed, gas has increased, food has gone up...The list goes on. We need to pray for our country and pray now. You can help by praying and finding out more about what you can do to protect your family and your country. Go to http://secretweapon.org/ to find out how to tell the secret to others. It's just the weapon we need to fight this fight.
