Colorado or Bust!

My Toyota Camry is seven years old but she serves me well and loves the open highway. She had been to the carwash and given the deluxe treatment so, with tank filled, was ready to take me on another new adventure....

My daughter-in-law, Angela, is my newest Reliv distributor and her family lives in the quiet little town of Windsor, Colorado. Windsor was devasted by a Class IV tornado a year ago but has rebuilt herself and settled back into its normal way of life. The town is clean and wholesome and a place where people can safely and happily raise their families. We drove straight through from Phoenix to there and arrived in the wee hours to a mother who was anxiously anticipating her daughters arrival. The next day was spent in celebration of lost time, over bbq burgers and soda. Children were playing, dogs were chasing and laughter was everywhere and it made for a very good day.

We came to Windsor to share our Reliv experience and in a quaint little coffee shop we told the folks what these products have come to mean to us. Angela has gone from a greatly affected Type I diabetic to nearly normal insulin levels. From 120 units of insulin a day to 15. The neuropathy in her feet and legs is gone and she has lost 27 pounds. I have gone from low blood sugars, hot flash-hell, arthritis and 40 pounds of excess weight to someone who suffers none of those things now.

When the health conscience people of Windsor listened to our stories and read the information we had brought they accepted our offer to help them with their issues as well and it made for a very satisfying evening, knowing that we were able to address so many people. After all, that is what Reliv is all about.

We did mix business and pleasure. It was a good thing. My little Camry carried us home through wind and rain and brought us back to life in the big city. We went to sleep that night in blissful dreams knowing that all was right and lives will be changed for the better thanks to 'our two little shakes a day....' I love my Reliv!

Reaching Her Goal and Riding Along!

You know how sometimes you meet someone and after visiting with them, even for only a short while, they strike you as the kind of person who is always going to be successful? This kind of person exudes an air about them that says that they are confident and secure within themself and they aspire to do great things. Well one of these people is a member of my family, in a round about way. She is my daughter's sister-in-law, Belinda. I have known Belinda for as long as she and her husband have been married but we really haven't had any kind of prolonged conversation until just recently. After following along in my blogs and having seen each other at a recent family gathering, she and I got together over Starbucks to talk girl talk. You know, the kind of girl talk where you discuss female maladies and the dreaded weight gain that seems to just creep up on us. Well, after reading and seeing my results using Reliv, Belinda wanted to know more about it and how it worked. It is as easy as simply supplying your body with the nutrients that it needs and the body kicks in and goes to work! Nothing fancy. Just efficient.

Belinda has made a commitment to better health and has set goals for herself that include marathon's and backpacking adventures. Her spirit bursts with enthusiasm and it is going to be so much fun watching her work towards her goals. She uses her two Reliv shakes a day to fortify her body and reduce her weight and along with a healthy mealplan and exercise regime I can only foresee her reaching her goals.

I have hiking into Machu Picchu as one of the goals on my "bucket list" and so does Belinda. Wouldn't it be great if someday we were able to sit at the top of the ruin knowing that it is only one of the many things that we are able to do now thanks to good health and good nutrition...?

Does anyone care?

I have been busy lately and I meet a lot of people. When I see someone that is in pain, I try to help. Sometimes it is that they have a physical need that needs to be met, but often times it is simply that they want someone to talk to. Someone to actually listen to them.

Why is it that we get so caught up in ourselves that we forget to pay attention to the signs all around us? We rush, rush, rush, everywhere we go. We hear what the people around us say, but do we truly listen?

I wonder.

You know we only get one go around in this life. Maybe we should slow down a little and access what is really important......
