  • Our Future

    When I was growing up I remember thinking I could change the world!  I was going to make this world a better place, not only for myself, but for my children and theirs to follow.  Somewhere along that time line I got lost in the every day shuffle as I am sure MOST of us have!  Though it weighs in the back of your mind and you are definately upset and bothered by the current state of our nation and our earty, you continue on with life.  Occassionally you make larger donations and drop those in the mail and you sometimes have that one that you give $5-$25 to monthly but you can’t seem to find the time to do anything else!

    Recently I started working with a local animal rescue and helping with their overflow.  I was initially looking for a personal pet/companion for our family and our other dog.  The funny thing is, I thought by going to a rescue that made me a better person.  Although it is a GREAT thing to adopt a rescue.  We even went to an extreme and got a “special needs” dog.  He is a three legged dog with the charisma and personality of someone GREAT and AMAZING.  Was I really making as much a difference as I could have?  Of course not!!  We have 5 acres of land and have more than enough room, love and patience to help on a larger scale.  So why was I not doing this before?

    Many of us feel like we don’t have the time or the ability.  It is certainly NOT for everyone but it isn’t only about rescuing pets.  There are organizations developed for animals, the environment, countries, starving communities, homeless and many others that could use a helping hand.  What if you spent an hour a day helping raise money for a cure for cancer?  What if you spent an hour a day and you were able to feed 7 families a week?  What if you were to help serve food at the local shelter and because of your extra hand or extra food that you brought they were able to feed 50 more people?  Really what is an hour or two if it means making our world a better place?  If 100 people gave 1 hour a day that would equate to 700 man hours a week.  100 can be recruited in a couple of hours.

    Let’s say that we spread the word around to start digging into the depths of our souls and remember that feeling of wanting to change the world!  Wanting to make this world a better place for generations to come.  Imagine if 1 million people (that is less than the population in many large cities!!!!  Not states, ONE CITY has more than 1 million) decided to donate 7 hours a week?  That would equal 7 million hours a week or 175,000 full time workers!!!  Think of what this country could do with 175,000 full time volunteers.  Imagine the dent that would make!  Money is a GREAT thing if you have it.  But many times we find that we, ourselves, are struggling financially.  That doesn’t mean you don’t have time!  This can also be something that the whole family pitches in on!

    Bottom line is, I was MOVED into action!  I was sent a video from a member of MonaVie.  This had to have been the MOST eye opening and compelling address I have ever had the privelege of listening to.  If these five kids could muster up this kind of courage and tenacity than what in the HECK is wrong with ME???  Take a look at the video.  If you can spread this video around for everyone to see we might just create a wave of change.  I don’t know about you but this woke up a side of me that has felt dead for many years!!!

    Watch and ENJOY!!!

    Does MonaVie Really Work?

    Some have heard about the Acai berry recently.  I have and found the information and results intriguing.  I am funny about heath “stuff” though.  I have had plenty of friends, acquaintances, colleagues and family members that have tried hundreds of these MLM health products.  You name it I was pitched on it.  I never bought into a single one.  I have a dear friend and close colleague that was reduced to a cane and countless hours of pain that recently tried a new product.

    There are companies out there capitalizing on the Acai Berry.  However, one company has taken it a leap further.  MonaVie!  My friend was introduced by a mutual friend in the real estate investment arena and decided to try it.  He ordered the MonaVie and after drinking the juice (ONLY 4 oz’s a day) he began to feel more energized.  Here we are a couple of months later and he is doing wonderfully.  He is back to swimming again which had almost come to a screeching halt “pre” MonaVie.  I decided to try it myself.  He was EXTREMELY persistent but it was more increased energy, lessened pain and changed outlook on life for him that did it for me.  I was happy to see him doing so wonderfully.

    Of course, though, I wasn’t completely on board yet, I checked out quite a few http://www.youtube.com videos and found amazing stories EVERYWHERE I turned.  This stuff was producing amazing results.  One woman gave it to her arthritic dog and someone else stopped taking zanag as he stated he no longer felt he needed it.  I heard story after story of normal tests at the doctors visit of previous high blood pressure and diabetes patients.  What I found most amazing was listening to people that had taken this product for over three months.  They were claiming that, not only were their previous high tests normal, but once they stopped taking the juice the tests stayed regular.  Apparently this works in some cases where someone has taken it for some time.

    Well week one went GREAT!  Of course I used my husband as the test subject and he is the skeptic through and through.  After day six he was working on the yard about mid morning and looked up at me completely exhausted.  He says, “You know what i need?  I need my juice!  Can you get me a shot?”.  Well, you know as soon as he said that I was SOLD.  We have ordered a case now so I will start taking it myself.  We shall see.  I will report my results here to see if this is really the “IT” juice!!!!

    What I am truly interested in is the reduction in inflammation and free radicals.  Most of us know that many diseases and ailments are now being linked to both of these two factors.  I am CERTAINLY NOT a health expert but if it reduces both on a large scale I would venture to say we have a winner!!  Again, I will blog my results to see how this goes!!!
