Reflections of Kona, Hawaii

Dear Friends,

While we're preparing and producing the complete HD video of our recent Transformation Retreat in Kona, Hawaii, I thought I'd just share a few of my personal photos from that wonderful week.

It was truly an honor and a pleasure to share hours and hours of up-close and personal time with our Transformation Champions. This is a wonderful group of people who have really inspired me with the life changes they've made over the past year.

I don't know when I've had so much fun -- goofing around, playing games, sightseeing, cutting up at dinner... I laughed so hard that my abs literally cramped up! And also, the open-hearted sharing that we got to do every night in the Transformation speaking circle was absolutely edifying to the soul.

Our retreat began as a celebration of the achievements of these Champions; and in the end, it became a truly transformative experience of its own, for myself and everyone involved.

We're already planning the next Transformation Retreat and I'm looking forward to welcoming more and more people into the Champions' Circle.

Watch for the complete Kona Transformation experience video within a couple of weeks.

Sincerely,
Sig
Bill

P.S.  I'll be blogging again in 2 days.

P.P.S.  Oh and by request, I just finished completely updating my profile. =)

Hey Bill, did you guys find Bob's and my white coral "BL + JL" out there??? (ha) - Once again, my heart thanks you for creating this incredible pathway to health and new life. And what an incredible thing you've done for these champions and their families. Bless you, friend. We're growing daily in this wonderful experience. Aloha and Mahalo - Johnnie

Stepitup10 wrote 352 Days Ago

I opened this up today and it means so much to me because TODAY I said YES to God to proceed with my promise to CARRY HIS LIGHT! To be able to see all of you is a real confirmation that BEING THE CHANGE and CARRYING HIS LIGHT truly is HAPPINESS! I will proceed with my transformation and will BE THE CHANGE and CARRY HIS LIGHT today and on into the future. Thank you, Jesus, for giving Bill Phillips and the wonderful people in this community YOUR LIGHT to help the rest of us receive it and carry it, too. xox Lupe

Thanks so much!---Kerri---
