Faith soothes all suffering.

     It's been a while since I've shared a blog and I was in definite need to clear my mind. My head has been running a million miles a minute and luckily I have some time to relax and ponder these thoughts while my little one dreams away during her afternoon nap. I ran across this quote from somebody that I talked to the other day, who really helped me through something, and needed to share with everybody. That is, that "faith soothes all suffering."

     I have the word faith tattooed on me and I guess I don't really think about it all too much, which I regret, but life needs no regrets. Whatever is done is done and is in the past. No need to regret. Each day is a new day to start over fresh. There's no need to wonder what ifs and buts, although I am guilty of doing this from time to time.

     Lord knows, my husband knows I do this! Last week I received the worst phone call of my entire life. Everything is okay in a sense. I have my worries though still. I did not know what to do. I felt helpless and so far away. To date, it was the hardest thing I have had to deal emotionally. I felt pain physically - I felt absolutely sick to my stomach. Nothing could prepare me for that phone call. I am just so thankful everything is "okay." So, so thankful. I wake up each day since then with a new outlook. It's crazy how perspective can change the way a person thinks after something like this happens. I am praying like crazy each and every day. Time is dwindling down which I am happy about. My faith is what soothed me. God was on our side and so was St. Michael. Nothing is difficult with God next to you.

Oh, Sick Days.

            It’s been a long few days without much sleep, a couple of visits to the Emergency Room, fever, Tylenol & Motrin, Saline flushes, runny noses, stuffed heads, & lots of snuggles. My little girl caught a nasty viral infection and she’s been miserable! Unfortunately I caught whatever she had so I've been going in slow motion. Trying to do everything you can for a sick baby is so hard when you know they are in pain

Reboot, Rejuvenate, & Detox!

      Have you ever detoxed before? If you'd like more energy, something safe, nontoxic, & want to feel overall amazing then this would be great for you!! Handling children, the stress that life throws at us, the weather, and whatever else is on your plate can push our bodies all out of whack. I am VERY excited to share all about this 5 day mini detox! With Shaklee products, you can do one safely each month! You can feel great while doing it! 

5 days, 3 meals, 2 snacks, SAFE, NATURAL, & it works!
I have heard such great stories from my team members, sponsor, & founders.
What can this detox do for you?

After my detox I will post about each day and what I felt and what I ate. Can you tell I am excited? I just am crossing my fingers that my Shaklee order arrives soon! With all of the snow upstate New York has been getting, I’m not so sure when it will arrive though! A few days ago they were calling for 80 inches in some areas. Craziness! Also, a polar vortex in every state, minus Hawaii!

The Shaklee 180 Kick Start Detox is about rejuvenating,

The First Wealth is Health* - Shaklee Style

Shaklee is the #1 Natural Nutrition Company in the country! I decided to join Shaklee for a number of reasons and the main reason being the health of my family. Good health should be the number one priority on each and every one of our lists! “The First Wealth is Health!” – Ralph Waldo Emerson.

You have nothing without good health. Shaklee believes that health is the best idea to build a company on. It’s not about sell, sell, sell! It’s about story sharing! You won’t know how great something is unless you try it. This is how I got started. One of my amazing best friends and sponsor let me try a bunch of products before I even became a member and then an independent distributor. For Christmas, I even gave my family members little Shaklee baskets with Sample products. I was so proud of that! Sharing the gift of health is the best gift I believe and I would like to share every detail about my experiences with Shaklee throughout the year. So this is what I plan to do! 2014 is limitless!

Christmas Shaklee Baskets for my family! (I made 5 in total.) In sample bottles I put 2-3 ounces of Hand Dish Wash, in one I put a few drops of Basic H to 3 ounces of water to make window cleaning solution, & in the 12 ounce bottle I added 1/4 a tsp of Basic H for a household cleaning solution. I also put a couple of Shaklee 180 Energizing Tea Packets, a pack of Shaklee 180 Chocolate Smoothie mix, a Product Guide, & a microfiber cloth. 

Another reason I wanted to make Shaklee a big part of my life

Passion

What are you passionate about? What drives you – motivates you? These are a few of the questions that have been on my mind a lot lately. I have been pondering and getting lost in thoughts so often. My mind is constantly in motion that it makes me anxious!

Life is full of passion, even if days are grey and bland.

Hello, Two Thousand Fourteen!

Two thousand and fourteen – welcome! There was no better way to spend the first  day of the year but with family, laughter as background music, & plenty of food! This is why I always love this Holiday season! We really get the chance to gather around the people whom we love most and reflect. The sun must have known it was a brand new year as it shone bright through the day. I have been looking at the last twelve months in retrospect (2013!).
