Deep Creek Leadership Retreat

Wow – where to start!?!?

Let’s start from the beginning! One year ago, I made the decision to be a fitness coach. I saw great results, so I thought “why not share my story?” I joined in, fell in love with the community and started to build my tribe.

6 months into being a coach, I was invited to a team retreat in Destin, Florida! It was AMAZING! However, all I could think about was my team. I wanted to do this same thing with my team. So, I came home from my trip, researched houses and I booked a 5 bedroom house in Deep Creek, MD for my team retreat!

The girls who came on the trip EARNED it. They show up in the challenge groups, they help people and to be able to come on the trip that had to vow to keep working on reaching their goals while also helping others do the same.

         

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wanted to have a place where we could celebrate their accomplishments and our victories as a team. I wanted a place to BOND and have fun! It has literally been my dream since becoming a coach to host my OWN retreat for MY team. And I did it!! I had their pictures lined up when they walked in. I wanted them to feel ELITE. I also had shirts made for the retreat and notebooks for them!

Champagne Toast to start off the Retreat

So what did we do? 

We started off the night with a champagne toast and got to know each other. We had cauliflower pizza, shrimp, chips, guacamole, salsa, brownies…. we had it all!

We stayed up entirely  too late and then got up early in the morning for a LIVE workout by our fellow coach and LIVE workout instructor! Seriously it was an AMAZING workout that we were able to get in right in the master bedroom. A reminder that home workouts are actually that amazing!

K. Forbes Fitness leading the LIVE workout!

Next, we jumped in the showers, made breakfast and got set up for our photo shoots. We did hair and makeup, we picked out a ton of outfits and we felt like a celebrity that morning! Here’s the thing about photoshoots….. they are soooooo awkward at first. We all feel so shy at first and then all of a sudden everyone’s face just lights up. They start getting comfortable and then you get a laugh out of someone and their beauty just shines! The photo shoots were one of my favorite parts of the trip because I really wanted everyone to feel special!

 

We did some team trainings and we checked in with our challengers together. We focused on our growth and how we can be better individually AND as a team. We really invested time into each other and pushed one another. And then we had fun! We ate some more, we went out into the hot tub, we played games and we just enjoyed ourselves!

Enjoying the hot tub!

Most importantly out of this whole trip, we BONDED. We got to see each other in the flesh instead of on the computer screen. We laughed, we cried, we talked, we hugged, we ate, we drank, we did it ALL. It is amazing that a group can come together and without knowing each other, we can just click. It is NOT by coincidence, however.

We came together and clicked because we all have GOALS. We have personal goals and business goals. And these goals focus on helping OTHERS. So, the fact that we all got along is not a surprise. These aren’t just ANY women. These are women who are DRIVEN, women who LOVE helping others, women who put themselves out there and women who want to be better than they were yesterday.

Will we do this again??

ABSOLUTELY!

Year 16 and we are putting the whole “for richer Year 16 and we are putting the whole “for richer or poorer, in sickness and health” to the test. 😳

Between hospital bills and almost 2 weeks in the hospital - we have reached the sicker and poorer side of our marriage 🫤

But we have also stayed madly in love throughout every adventure and moment… and this won’t be any different. 🥰

To the guy I married when I was 20 years old and everyone said it was crazy…. 

You are the best part of my life 💕

Here’s to another 16…. 🥂 
More health & more richer 😉😆

HE IS HOME!!! 🙌🏼🥰💕🎉 My favorite pe HE IS HOME!!! 🙌🏼🥰💕🎉

My favorite person in the entire world is home after a long 12 days in the hospital!!!!!!

12 days is the LONGEST we have ever not snuggled together….
The LONGEST the kids haven’t had daddy home…

For 10 of those days, we didn’t have a full conversation.. which is also the longest time we have gone without talking 😪

He still has pancreatitis and will need gallbladder surgery in the near future….
But for now, he can heal at home with his family! 💕

We are so grateful for all of the love, prayers, visits, meals, kid pickups and every bit of incredible support. 

For most of the time he was gone, I cried every morning and every night before and after I was with him. 
I am so very grateful for every person that offered any help because it meant soooo much and mentally I needed it!!!

We are soooooooooooo grateful as a family for ALL OF YOU!! 💕

Every person who helped and prayed and supported us was absolutely apart if his healing.

We are snuggling him extra now and taking every bit of time we have with him!!!

XOXOX, 
The Doran’s

This is not the Mothers Day I would have picked… This is not the Mothers Day I would have picked… 

But I would pick these kids, this family and this moment of pride for my boy over and over again. 

Just being together matters. 

Just raising good humans matters. 

If my Mothers Day gift this year was this reminder that my kids are growing into great people.. that’s enough 💕

I don’t know if it’s a sign… But I do know t I don’t know if it’s a sign…
But I do know there is power in prayer…
I do know there aren’t any coincidences…
I do know that these doves weren’t not just flying by and found a place to land… 
They had to come from up above and swoop down into this courtyard.

Tonight will officially mark the most amount of ni Tonight will officially mark the most amount of nights we haven’t slept together in 17 years… 😢

The hardest part of today was him being out of it so much and sleeping that he was talking in his sleep to the kids. 😪

The second hardest was feeding him and seeing him be the most weak he has ever been. 

The third hardest was leaving him… 

I walk away and leave it to God and the nurses to take care of him while I’m gone.

And go home and put a smile on my face when I’m home with the kids…

And pray that when I come back, he has GRANDPA JOE’d himself out of this bed and I can take him home 🥰
Our favorite person in the house went to the ER wi Our favorite person in the house went to the ER with chest pains (holy scare) —
And it turned out to be the gallbladder. 😬

After alot of scans and tests, it looks like our guy is going to spend some days in the hospital and set to have surgery soon. 😢

My husband is the ROCK of this whole family. 
Everyone else (including me) are just mini hurricanes in this life and he is the rock that stays still and holds us all together. 

For a second, I thought I would just stay silent on here. If it wasn’t fitness, podcasts or inspiration, maybe I’ll just keep quiet. 

But - I have opened up alot about my life… 
And I don’t want you to follow me or my family and think everything is rainbows and butterflies.

I don’t want people who go through illness or hard times to think they are alone in that. I want to continue to show you that there are hard times, scary times and not every day is a party… but we move forward. 

We draw strength from eachother as a family, we draw strength from the friends that have been placed in our lives and we draw strength from God. 

I will continue to be open about our family in hopes to inspire you, to be here for you if YOU need someone and to show you that we’re all human and all have struggles. 

We are patiently waiting for surgery…
we were all set to go yesterday but his pancreas levels were bad so they canceled it.

Today, we are waiting for blood work to give us the all clear for surgery and hope his pain goes away. 

The kids have never seen daddy like this so it’s hard watching them cry everytime they think of him or see him, while trying to hold it in at the same time. 😪

Last night, the kids and I prayed..
We prayed for daddy’s pain, we prayed for the surgeons hands, for the nurses who are taking care of him, for the doctors, and for our friends who have been so thoughtful.

Thank you everyone for your continued prayers, love and support! 💕
All the feels today as so many people stopped to s All the feels today as so many people stopped to support my sweet girl. Some teenagers, some parents and then this guy that paused his job to give her some business. 

He then gave her back the dog treat and said to give it to the dog. 

All. The. Feels. 💕

Would love to blow up his kindness 💕
