I used to say, "I can't wait for THINGS to change!" But what I've learned is that the only way things are going to change for me, is when I change.
Change is a process...
We first began the change when Rick accepted that case of juice from Zack. Then when we drank the juice, our bodies reacted and began to change immediately. MonaVie juice blends are so healthy... full of all those wonderful antioxidants ... and many nutrients that our diets lacked. The results have been unbelievable! Rick's knees no longer hurt, my cholesterol came down to a healthy level, I have more energy ... and I sleep a good night's sleep!
Change inspires change.
As our bodies began to change so did our hearts and spirits. We began to hope and dream that this business would take us to financial freedom... and time freedom!
The last 11 months have been filled with great meetings... and the support of our new friends in Team 212, reading positive books and much prayer as we've learned to "walk the walk while we talk the talk." Months of challenge! At times I've had so many affirmations taped to the bathroom mirrors that we've had trouble using them!
Some of my favorites: Three feet from gold! Never quit! Never give up! You can do it! Gold Baby! I am a bold, beautiful, courageous woman! What did I do today to help us reach our goal? Just one more time! How Big is my Why?
In the beginning we thought we'd advance quickly... and that we'd already have been to Ruby. But we've had to adjusted our goals ... several times... and change some of our thinking and some of our methods. We put our noses to the grind-stone even harder and we determined that we will never give up!
NOW THE RUBY RUN IS ON! The friendly competition between friends is great fun! We're too excited to want time to sit back in our chairs and bask in the glory of rank advancement ... we don't need time to relax... not yet! And guess what? Just when we to need to again change some of our thinking and some of our methods we're going to have NEW tools to work with. Can't wait to hear more on May 8th!
As Vince often says, what got us here (to Gold) won't get us there (to Ruby)!!! Always changing! But now the changing is more accepted as just the way this wild and crazy business is done!
We're eagerly anticipating the next 11 months!

The Diet: continued
I bet you thought I had forgotten the diet I started (to be exact) on Jan 18th ... Did I forget my intentions to lose weight ... to walk 4-5 times a week? Not completely.
While I admit that I had a few distractions since Jan,(the weather is always a good one), I am still striving toward my goal; a healthier, thinner (as in less body fat), happier me. But I have been back on track... walking 4-5 times/week... educating my self for a better diet ... trying a more organic way of eating. I've been reading Dr. Perricone's THE PERRICONE PROMISE... a great book. I watched the movie, INC FOODS. What an eye opener! I plan to shop more in local farmer's markets (and there are plenty to choose from) and buy less processed/packaged foods. (Of course, my MonaVie juice blend is extremely compatible with this style of diet.)
I have to tell you, that not walking for 2-3 weeks made my body feel almost like it did way back in Jan... like it was starting all over again! But life is sometimes that way... one step forward, two steps back. If we keep moving ahead, don't give up, eventually we will reach our goal!
Remax (my cat) is stalking a gray squirrel outside the window... now he's racing from one window to another! The squirrel doesn't seem to be worried. Afterall, this game has been played before. But I am reminded that it's time for my morning walk!
Health, Wealth & Love to all on this beautiful sunny morning!

New Vision
I've know for a year that this time was coming...
I have a large cataract behind the capsule of my left eye. Not uncommon, I was told. (although none of my friends knew about it.) It's an outpatient procedure... 6-10 minutes only... I can immediately go back to my routine activities, except for kick boxing (which I don't do anyway!) I can garden, clean house, work at my job... after some research, I'm ready for my new vision.
... and not just with my physical eyes... but with my spiritual eyes... I want to see God's plan for me.
Many of you know that I've been reading THE PERRICONE PROMISE by Dr. Nicholas Perricone. I went shopping today at Whole Foods Market and brought a few items which he recommends... I bought organic yogurt which is loaded with calcium... no fillers, stabilizers or sugars... even small changes in calcium levels of fat cells changes signals within the cells that control the making & burning of fat... therefore is important for those who want to loose weight... but want to also maintain lean muscle mass... this is one role of calcium in yogurt. (This is new info. for me. I love this kind of stuff!)
Another item I bought... Kefir... a complex mixture of yeasts and lactobicillus bacteria... which can be described as a liquid, sparkling yogurt... and mixed with a dose of Active blend MonaVie ... Yum-m-m-o! a very berry shake! Unlike yogurt, which is created from milk by adding certain lactic acid bacterias, Kefir is made by combining milk with a pinch of "kefir grains" It has been popular in Caucasus, Russia, & SW Asia... What are the health benefits? Per Dr. Perricone, it stimulates the immune system, enhances lactose digestion, and ... much more. So, wanting to see with new vision, I am open to trying this new food and ... found it very tasty! There is so much to learn! So much to see!
More to come... enlightenment... new vision!

Another Gift
Another gift of time was given to me today.... I LOVE it when my job calls at 5:30 am to ask me to stay home (with pay)... time to go back to sleep... mum-m-m-m-m... late coffee by the fire, scanning over the newspaper (if it's Fri, or the week-end), catching up on emails & Face Book, reading uplifting books, and WRITING on my blog... all great gifts of time!
One of the books I'm still reading is Napoleon Hill's KEYS TO SUCCESS... chapter 8... How to Control Your Enthusiasm...
A personnel example... I go to work at the hospital ... I've worked for over 23 years with some of the same people ... most of whom I admire & respect... but my enthusiasm is low because (I know for a fact) that before the 12 hours are up, I will be running to beat the time clock.
I clock in usually by 6:30 am, get report and hit the floor running by 7:15. I may not get breakfast until 1030. Have to count on my 5:30 am snack with MonaVie, to sustain me. No lunch before 2:30-3:30 ... eaten of course, with MonaVie.
There are dressings to change, blood sugars to check prior to each meal and cover with insulin if needed, scheduled meds and... extra pain meds to give (frequently every 1-2 hours)... go with patients to tests, be alert to any critical changes in patients status, lab values to look up & doctors to call, families to comfort... different therapies to consult with, such as physical therapy or speech therapy... work as a team player and wing-man with my nursing assistants and co-workers...
So I may not even open a chart before 4 pm ... and documentation on 4-5 patients takes time ... especially when squeezed between before mentioned tasks. Then in addition, there are discharges, and admits, AND post-ops (meaning surgical patients)
P.S. again, all these activities require more of that nasty documentation ... along with all the EXTRA required tasks.
All the while I try to spend as much quality time on a personnel level as I possibly can with all my patients and their families ... an ongoing process through the 12 hour shift no matter what else is going on.
And last but not least... if it can be avoided, don't clock out late! (not past 7:22 pm) ... gotta keep the boss happy.
Mercy me! This is why now a-days, 2 days a week is all this old gal can take.
So how do I control my enthusiasm... or have any at all, you might ask. Well, have you heard of "faking it until you make it"?
I intentionally ignore my low enthusiasm... I look at my assignment... "I will make this a good day!" I say to myself... then out loud to any co-worker who will listen.
From then on... I consciously perform the PMA (Positive Mental Attitude)... and through-out the day I see the positive results. There IS power in PMA enthusiasm! Enough power to sustain me through the 12 hour shift and enough for me to pass some positive encouragement on to my patients & their families. I go the extra mile... with enthusiasm! I keep away from the negative ... don't hang with the negative... stick with the optimists!
Okay, I admit that before 7:15 pm my feet move slower, my back is stiffer, my patience is challenged, BUT I DO IT! Just one hour at the time!
I'm thankful for my nursing job... it has been good in many ways. I can honestly say, that out side of being a wife and a Mother, (which I consider both to be full time careers), my dream was to be a nurse ... and it was fullfilled. But... NOW I dream of retirement from nursing ... God willing, before Jan 2011... passing my Florance Nightingale's lamp (so to speak) on to younger feet, stronger backs, and quicker minds, etc.
NOW my new dream job is MonaVie... which by the way, goes hand in hand with my nursing career and my belief in total health... a natural transition.
I've been in other network marketing careers but this is the only one which I am totally enthusiastic about. No faking it!
I'm looking forward to reaching my full potential working alongside my husband in MonaVie. I'm so glad I didn't stop dreaming!
Where's my timeclock?
I won't miss it!

The Gift
After working the last two days at the hospital, I needed to relax... get out of man-made structures and into God's great outdoors... I needed to refresh my spirit!
Rick & I drove up to Daffodil Hill. We hadn't been there in several years and if you've never been I can tell you that it's well worth the time. The drive on Hwy 16 was great because the hills were so green and beautiful. It's in the little town of Volcano, about an hour's drive for us. (there is actually an old crater there, although we've never been to it. But there are signs to lead the way.) It's free to see the daffodils... even the well organized parking is free. Just as you start to drive past Jackson there is a Daffodil Hill sign pointing to the left...
We resisted the temptation to stop in the quaint towns .... Dry Town, Sutter Creek, & Jackson... (we planned to stop on the way back) and drove on to see the glorious daffodils. This is their time of peak beauty.
Did some walking, took lots of pics, and talked to a few nice people. What a beautiful day!
On the way home, we drove through Fiddletown, (yes, that's a real town) We stopped in Plymouth at a favorite little hole in the wall, Marlene Glenn's Diner. Mercy! Do they have some good eating!
Our spirits revived!
Back in Rocklin, we pulled into our drive-way and... to our horror... saw that our front door was wide open! Our first thought was "REMAX!" (he's our precious cat for any who didn't already know) We jumped out of the car & hurried up the walk. We ran from room to room calling out his name. We looked at each other ... unspoken fears in our eyes. Just as we turned to go look out side, he appeared! He was just there. Looking relaxed, as if he had been awaken from a nap. (how dare we disturb him!) We just stared at him, and we burst out laughing. He was safe.
We had NOT been concerned about theft... only about HIM.
Today we gave the gift of time to each other...we haven't done that in a long while... too long a while. It's important to spend relaxing time with the one you love... It was a very good day! Give yourself & someone you love the gift of time.

PMA
PMA (Positive Mental Attitude)...
Having a plan... knowing the goal. Having strong determination and continuous effort... with faith, courage and... focus. Having more than just a wish... having a BURNING DESIRE for success!
Do I really believe this "positive attitude" talk?
Absolutely!
Hummmm... Where to start?
Once upon a time... a not so young woman, (40 years old to be exact) had to make some life-changing decisions. She was in the beginning process of divorce with one small child and a teenager. She had managed as a stay-at-home mom with a high school education through the 10th grade only... but now... what could she do? She remembered her dream of being a nurse... (she had almost forgotten how to dream)
Despite her fears... (too many to recount here!) she started on the long road at adult-ed for her GED. She traveled her own personal trail of tears to American River College for 2 years of general ed & pre-nursing courses... Keeping her eyes on her goal, never giving up... she walked into nursing ... and after 2 years...GRADUATION!
A Registered Nurse!
She never gave up... even when it took all her strength to keep going ... just one more semester... holding on...(someone somewhere wrote, when you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hold on!) Focus... she knew she could do it... she could believe in herself just one more time! Her burning desire for that Associate in Science degree... her goal... she did it! She reached it!
And now... still doing it... over 23 years!
A few weeks ago this wife & her husband had a talk. They had been working hard... toward big goals...
Yet, they were talking negative talk... focused on unmet-goals... feeling low... even discouraged and somewhat depressed (oh yes! It's true.)
They looked at each other... knowing full-well that negative thinking attracts negative events & people. They had a heart-to-heart and turned from the negative talk ... and talked encouragement... and belief in themselves ... and in their plan and in their goal.
You may not believe what I'm going to tell you next, but the very NEXT day the positive events & people came into their lives... not just one appointment but four... out of the blue, THEY called us!! It works! This positive thinking stuff really does work!
If you haven't read THE SECRET by Rhonda Byrne... READ IT! The law of attraction is a law of nature... like attracts like, so when you think a thought, you are also attracting like thoughts to you.... Your current thoughts are creating your future life. What you think about the most or focus on the most will appear as your life.
So remember... Know what you want... and GO for it! You will need to have that heart-to-heart sometimes... we are still learning how to control our thoughts.
Keep your PMA!

Hopping Down the Bunny Trail
I spent a good portion of the day Thursday cleaning the back yard flower beds. I was delighted to find that several of my Iris bulbs had bloomed for the first time. A very sweet person gave them to me... I can't wait to tell her how pretty they are. We have a third of an acre. Our home sets on a high knoll (although you'd never know it from the front street). The house wraps around the swimming pool and flower beds in an L shape. The master bedroom is close to the spa. (it's great at night to go there and slip down into the warm water!)
I love the view from the far end of the pool which overlooks the back yard (which really isn't a yard but more like a woods). A six foot high retaining wall with a flower bed and hanging vines,separates the house, pool, grill and concrete patios from the area below.
We go to this area by strolling along a winding path... past bird feeders, bird bath and flowering plants down a slight incline to a natural looking dry rock creek which curves and turns until it disappears. All the grand kids love exploring this area! We hop (at least the grand kids hop) across the large boulders to continue following the path up another small knoll. The path ends there among the 20 Oak trees. Flowering Cherry trees, Crape Myrtles, and Japanese Maples hang over the rocks and plants. Lots of other plants grow between the Oak trees and boulders all in keeping with the natural woods-like setting.
My plan is to hide Easter eggs under the plants along the path... my very own bunny trail! I can't wait!
Hebrews 11 is well known as the faith chapter in the bible. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." By faith Abel... by faith Noah... by faith Abraham... through faith Sarah... Issac... Jacob... Joseph... and on and on. By faith Christ rose from the grave.
By faith... this grand mother... seeks always to be the best she can be. The best wife, the best mother, the best grand mother... through faith and redemption. Working in the garden allows me time to reflect. My thoughts are lifted upward... I listen to the singing of the birds. My eyes take in the beauty around me... I smell the scents of the earth and plants. My faith is renewed as I behold the growth of spring bulbs planted years ago and I find joy in their colors.
By faith... I pray for my beautiful grand children... faith... hope... courage... May they grow to be the best they can be. They bring me such joy. By faith... may I inspire and lead them... be there when they need me.
Happy Easter! Happy Spring! (it's almost here!)
