Beautiful Place, Beautiful People



Colorado Springs. If you've ever been through here, you know how beautiful it is. And if you've ever spent any quality time here, you know how beautiful the people are as well. Genuine people and pulchritudinous landscapes - a rare and special combination that makes Colorado Springs one of the choicest places to visit and live.

After a short drive south from Denver on I-25, we crested over Monument Hill and began our decent into lovely El Paso County. We pulled into the Cheyenne Mountain Resort a short time later. We were immediately drawn to the porches outside our rooms to take in the view of the resort's golf course, attractive mountain homes, and the world famous Pikes Peak.





With a few hours remaining before our evening meeting, Curtis, Ryan and I made the short trip up to the Garden of the Gods, a geological and ecological feast for the senses.



Surrounded by dramatic red rock formations, diverse plant life, and stunning views of Pikes Peak, we felt inspired to go for a run.



After a few hundred yards, we were abruptly aware of the altitude! Yet we forged on, logging several miles and producing plenty of perspiration. While we ran, our videographer Kyle Burdash was on hand to capture some video of this world renown ocular potpourri. Our bodies and spirits were fed after an hour in this slice of heaven. Rejuvenated, we departed, excited to spend the rest of the evening with hundreds of IEs and guests back at the Cheyenne Mountain Resort.



After such a successful meeting the previous night in Denver, we were anxious to see old friends, new Zrii family members, and guests once again. When the doors opened at 7:00 PM, for the second night in a row, we were greeted by a wave of enthusiasm, as well over 200 smiling people moved with haste to secure their seats.





It was my turn to play the role of MC, which is such an easy job when the room is so filled with positive energy.





We followed roughly the same format as we did in Denver - but as always, each meeting is unique and has its own flair. We were so impressed as we heard product and business testimonials from so many successful IEs, including soon-to-be 7 Stars Dave and JoAnn Matteson, 7 Stars Sean and Nancy Slade, soon-to-be 6 Star Norm Black, and so many others. We were also blessed to hear from 8 Star (and new daddy for the first time in a long time - way to go Anna!) Mark Emden, in town from California. He definitely still has the new dad glow. Everyone was touched by the product testimonials of Carolyn Blazer and her Mother Isabel Otto, in town from Indiana. The entire crowd rose to its feet as 76 year-young Isabel told us how she was getting her life back in so many ways through Zrii.

Once again, Daniel Rhoda's story of his own journey into healing and his discovery of Ayurveda was met with rapt attention. His entertaining and informative descriptions of the three Dosha types was a special highlight. 9 Star Bill Heriford connected heart to heart with everyone as he spoke of his journey as a multi-million dollar earner, and the great gratitude he and his wife Jan share for the Zrii opportunity. Curtis and Ryan shared some exciting announcements about such things as the new BMW reimbursement program, the Rising Star Academy (coming to Salt Lake August 15-16!) and the incredible sales tools that are now available for all Zrii IEs.



Scores of guests had a pretty remarkable first glimpse into the transformational world of Zrii, and many of them joined our family yesterday and today.

Another highlight was when Curtis led a discussion about the new "Zrii Office" - an exclusive and ground breaking back office now live for all Zrii IEs!



So, after last Thursday in Salt Lake and the past 48 hours here in Colorado, we have seen well over 600 IEs and guests in our first few stops. As I prepare to leave Colorado tomorrow and gear up for next week's ZriiVost stops in the Northeast, my heart is filled with gratitude for the bonfire of activity that is growing by the hour all along the Front Range and into the Rockies. Over these past few days, we have learned afresh that Colorado is a vibrant and fast growing jewel in the Zrii coronet. We look forward to returning again and again in the months and years to come!

Zriiyaa,

Clint (Foghorn Leghorn)
