Catching you up!

Wow... where to begin.

Life has been good, busy, and fun all at the same time. Let's start with last night. Last night, we went out with some friends to a Brazilian Barbecue resteraunt. It was awesome! I would highly recommend it to anyone. The way it works is you go in and pay one price. On your table you have a cardboard circle one side is green and one side is red. When you want to eat you turn the green side up and all the waiters come up to your table to offer you one of 14 different types of meet. They then proceed to slice the meet directly from the spit that it was cooked on in to yoru plate. It is a delectable experience. Leg of Lamb, Filet Mignon, Top Sirlon, Chicken, Pork Loin, Lamb Chops, and several others when offered you accept what you want and turn down what you don't want. They also had a really great salad bar... but come on... who is wasting time with the salad bar?

After dinner, Shane and I went back to their house and the women went to our house because the girls had plans today and we had different plans today. On the way home we bought some Romeo and Julieta Reserva Reals, which is a great mild cigar. We sat on their balcony and solved the world's problems while having some great cigars. A good time was had by all.

In other news, business has been great. I was at a First Steps to Success event with Dani Johnson in Chicago and she said, "Just go make a mess". She was referring to fear, and not being afraid of trying anything new. So my friend Melissa Hecht, said Jackie let's go make a mess. We started doing Coastal Travel vacation seminars. This is a brand new way of marketing that I have never done in the past. However, I love it! Seminars are pretty easy and alot of fun, who doesn't want to travel or learn how to travel for less money. We did two and it looks like we have a Platinum sale coming in this week! We have another travel seminar scheduled for this Tuesday in Frakenmuth Michigan I will let you know how that goes.

Also over the past month I have been doing alot more studying on investing and the Forex market. The Forex market is complicated but the easiest way to explain it is by copying and pasting the explanation from Investopedia:

"The market in which currencies are traded. The forex market is the largest, most liquid market in the world with an average traded value that exceeds $1.9 trillion per day and includes all of the currencies in the world.

There is no central marketplace for currency exchange; trade is conducted over the counter. The forex market is open 24 hours a day, five days a week, and currencies are traded worldwide among the major financial centers of London, New York, Tokyo, Zürich, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, Singapore, Paris and Sydney.

The forex is the largest market in the world in terms of the total cash value traded, and any person, firm or country may participate in this market."

The forex market is a highly leveraged market, in layman's terms this means you can make and lose a lot of money in a relatively short amount of time. This is a market that I have researched quite a bit over the past two years looking for areas to invest the money I am making with Coastal Travel. I am actually trading now on a demo account and I made a simple website for people to be able to follow along with what I am doing. They can even trade along side of me if they want. You can visit that webiste at www.coastalforex.com.

I will be updating again soon,
