Motivation: Don't Live a Small Life

     I love that this woman helped me to realize what my true dream was. A dream that I had put away and forgotten about. One morning I was sitting in a chair, doing a guided meditation from a CD of hers (it's cool to meditate, being a hippie is fun), and I all the sudden remembered a dream I had for my career and path in life, a dream that I had when I was in the 8th grade. DON'T LIVE SMALL! BE A HAVE IT ALL WOMAN! OR A HAVE IT ALL MAN :) Let yourself dream big and have a beautiful fun life now! Nothing, absolutely nothing is stopping you from being happy right now... except maybe yourself...

CAMERON!!!

It's been two years! Over two years! And Cameron is now coming home... TOMORROW! I got really excited this morning because up until now it hasn't seemed real! Well... in honor of Cameron coming home... thought I would post some pictures of him!

 

 

Cameron's mission memories and testimony: "Well, as my mission comes to a close, my heart is so grateful for all of the lessons I've learned, for the people I've met and been a part of teaching, for the experiences I've had and for the hard times as well. I have grown so much spiritually and I know I must continue to grow always and I can even look back on parts of my mission and say that I wish I had done things a bit differently at times but those memories are what drives me forward to the future to become better and follow my Savior even more completely and show it through righteous action. I have been blessed with companions who were very different from one another that helped me to grow and adapt to different backgrounds and personalities. All of them were great and I learned different character traits from all of them. My areas were amazing and equally very different as my companions were different, but I learned life lessons from serving in each one of those areas. My mission president and his wife are amazing and support the missionaries with diligence and care. I am excited now  (well in 4 days) to start applying these lessons to my personal life and my future dreams now after being blessed with the opportunity to bless others with those lessons for two years. I know this gospel blesses lives and that is one of the evidences of the 'fruit' of the restored gospel coming from Christ directly. Being organized and restored under his direction. I know that ANYONE who lives the gospel will gain a testimony of its truth and reality through the power of the Holy Ghost. If any one reading this has questions about the truth or divinity of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, try living the gospel. You will be blessed and the Spirit will confirm its truth to your heart which will carry away the doubts and fears that can cloud our minds. I testify that this is true because I have experienced these things in my own life and I have heard the testimony of children of God from all over the world who profess the same thing. I love my Savior Jesus Christ and my Heavenly Father for my life and my circumstances and I thank all of you for being my family and friends. I appreciate the love that you give to me as well."

Celebration 2012!! Waited a Whole Year For This!

My mom and I just got back from an end of summer vacation/business adventure in was in Phoenix Arizona! I already have been having a tough time with the heat this summer and I was so excited for our trip that we have been planning for a year... but I was not looking forward to the HEAT! And even though it was between 108 and 118 degrees the whole trip, and at night time the lowest it got was about 94 degrees, it was actually quite bearably!

The trip was amazing! The drive down was gorgeous! And when we got down to Phoenix, our team was just finishing up dinner and going for a limo ride! I was surprised to find out that I was invited on this special team limo ride that was arranged for either IsaBody Challenge finalists, 100 lb club members, or top business builders! So we hoped on into the limo, not yet sure why I was invited! Well, turns out I was the #2 top business builder/recruiter on my leaders team and the #1 spot was my team member Stephanie! I love my team and my team leaders! Thank you RaQuett and my momma! RaQuett gave me a gift  of $100 to spend in the fun Isagenix Store at the convention! Wanna know what I bought?! Product for my team! Whoever wins the 30-day challenge that I set-up wins free product! :) And I got a couple other goodies for myself and Corey! :)

Day 1: Paul Zane Pilzer! Love this man! He is so knowledgeable, talented, and accomplished! He is a talented economist and best selling author who's view point that the world actually has enough for everyone and that we can all have abundant lives is one that I can agree with! He pointed out some incredible statistics! You know how age, race, gender, family background use to be factors in how much you would earn as an income in life? Well guess what, those are all not a factor anymore, which is a good thing! But there is a new factor that is an almost accurate indicator of the income you will make. And it is your weight/health. The food industry is a $15 trillion industry! Packaged and fast foods will fail at no expense. They won't allow things to get in their way! 95% of medicines are designed for you to take for the rest of your life. Pharmaceutical companies are based on making money! The pharmaceutical companies and medical companies and not health industries, they are sick industries. These industries take care of the symptoms of illness and disease, hardly every the disease! Would these industries promote and create a pill that cures the cold and sell in for $100? No! Because once people cured it, they would never need to buy that pill again. Instead they charge about $3.00 or so dollars for pills you take for a couple days straight to cure the symptoms! That way you keep coming back! BUT! There is a new industry! (AND I AM PART OF IT!) It's called the wellness industry! In short it is defined as, "Customers who don't want to be members of the sickness industry!" Wellness is a revolution! It is a change in how you think!" My goodness! I loved everything he said! I am so happy to be part of an industry that is changing the way people think about health! It's about prevention instead of solely correction once something goes wrong! Another thing he said that I loved, "We as network marketers help people be successful in life." Yes! I get to help people be successful and achieve their dreams!



Day 2: JACK CANFIELD! My favorite! He is one incredible man! He has blessed the lives of millions of people! He's blessed people with his seminars, his books "Chicken Soup for The Soul" books, the movie "The Secret", and in so many other ways! Some wonderful things her said: "Isagenix is a company that is going to stay forever! Be a go-giver instead of a go-getter. Go give hugs! 1. Double your income 2. Double your time off 3. Achieve greater spiritual fulfillment. take 100% responsibility for your life and your results. QUIT BLAMING! GIVE IT UP! No matter what is happening in your outside world, you need to still choose to be successful. Bless people with this opportunity. Don't look at things as obstacles, just as problems to be solved. You have to become solution oriented. Focus on the positive. Focus on success. Don't lie. Don't say "I can't". Choose to believe. Write your goals down! Writing goals down increases your chance of success by 1100%!! People who write their goals down earn 9 times more than others. Say "Oh what the heck... Go for it!" OH MY HECK! I just love this man!

And there was other training during these days that I loved! Did you know that 90% of women are dissatisfied, feel overwhelmed, stressed, etc. with their current lives and conditions? Over 90%! I want to empower women! Also, a point I loved! Do you just want to feel better for 30-days? No! Then stop looking at this as a diet program, because it isn't! It is a health system and lifestyle change! Not a 30-day diet! You don't just go to a chiropractor once. You don't just go to your dentist once. You don't just get your hair cut once. You don't just go to the gym once, twice, or three times to get the body you wan to have for the rest of your life! You keep going back! It's smart! :) I just learned so much! I can't even begin to recap it all!

Day 3: John Gray! He is an American relationship counselor, lecture, and author. One of his most well known books is "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus." The energy and influence he has is great! it as important for me to hear that women and men are so different. At the end of the day, when women sit to relax, their minds start going a mile a minute thinking of all the things they didn't fit in the day and all the things they have to do the next day, family, friends, etc. Men sit down, and they are done with their day. The turn their thought process off for the day and they can more easily check out for the day. So good for me to learn more of the differences between men and women for Corey and I and also as I work with more and more men on my team.

It was such a wonderful event and I can honestly say, I have been changed for good and I have been changed for the better!

If you are looking for a change, looking to physically feel better, looking to earn more money, looking to lose weight, looking for a solution to the obstacles in your life, then I suggest you watch this video:

Gluten Free? Tips and Advice!

If you are noticing that certain foods are starting to make you feel bloated, nauseous, crampy, and such, then you may be one of many who are GLUTEN INTOLERANT!

I am! And I went on a roller coaster of emotions when finding out and through having to deal with it. At first, I was honestly happy! I was trying to be healthy and be a better cleanse coach but fast food, burgers, fries, onion rings, delicious breads, noodles, pizza, quick fix foods, and other foods kept calling my name and they kept me from reaching my goal and my fitness and health potential. The gluten intolerance seemed to be my answer. But then I was mad. Gluten free foods like bread for sandwiches was gross! I just wanted a pizza! Burgers, I got over. But I wanted a pizza! Thanksgiving was rough. Christmas was easier. And then the most awful news ever!! Soy sauce has gluten in it! I love love love Chinese take-out more than any other food in the world! I did discover that there are brands of soy sauce and top-dog soy sauce companies are now producing and selling gluten free soy sauce, but I am still scared to chance eating Chinese take-out. Soy sauce is in everything! And it is still cheaper for restaurants to buy the regular soy sauces.

But I am fine being gluten intolerant for now. It has helped me make better choices. It requires me to think a lot more about what I eat and what I buy at the store. I'm writing this all now because maybe you are gluten intolerant or maybe you know someone who is and want to share this with them or maybe you just want to try living gluten free for health reasons. I gathered some information together for a friend this week and I want to share it with everyone!

"So you wanted to learn more about gluten and a gluten intolerance. Gluten is found in wheat, it is a binder, and wheat is a type grain like barley and rye. When I eat wheat I get a head ache, sometimes my stomach feels cold, and I feel like my insides are twisting, which is actually what really is happening. Having a gluten intolerance isn't just an annoying thing to have to deal with, or an annoying pain to have to deal with, but it actually hurts your body. Apparently it can damage your intestines. Other symptoms are totally wide range. You should look them up because they are so wide spread. But just because you may have some symptoms doesn't mean you have an intolerance. I knew what was wrong with me because I tested it. I went without gluten for a week, then I at a lot of things with gluten on day 8 and I felt horrible! But if you want to know for sure go to the doctor and they can test you, BUT make sure you have gluten in your system when you get tested or else it won't show up that you are intolerant.

Ok, now, if you are gluten intolerant here are some things to know. Gluten is everywhere. But be grateful that if you do have this intolerance that you have it now in 2012 and not 10 years ago or even 5 years ago. There are so many gluten free options now. They are more expensive because they can't just use cheap flower to make them. They also have to make them and process gluten free products in a gluten free facility which costs companies money.

Soy sauce and Asian type sauces. Like I mentioned earlier, soy sauce has wheat in it. Most stores don't sell gluten free soy sauce, but just look on the label. I drive 45mins to a Good Earth store where they have tons of gluten free foods when I want to get soy sauce! They brand that I know that is gluten free is San-J. I'm sure they will be selling it in most stores eventually. They best gluten free bread in my opinion is Udi's.

Food Labels. On any food label it will tell you of all food allergies. Not the nutrient label, but the full list of ingredients. It will tell you below the ingredient label "Food Allergies." It will say things like, "Contains wheat." "May contain flour." "May contain wheat." "Processed on equipment or in a facility that also handles wheat." I avoid products that say any of these things because I have gotten more sensitive to gluten.

Macey's, a grocery store in Utah where I live, has a pretty wide selection of gluten free foods. One in the back corner near the milk and another in the freezer section that has the Udi's bread and the frozen pizzas and the frozen desserts. Also, since gluten free foods are more expensive, Macey's has a card that you can get by going up to the customer service desk and asking for their gluten free card. This card will get you $5 off your purchase every time you spend $25 on gluten free items. And that is really easy to do. A lot of products now say "gluten free" when they are so people don't have to search the label so hard. And it will most of the time be written in bold.

Soups. Campbells soups have gluten, a lot of Progresso soups are gluten free and they say on the front and on the back of the label.

Italian sauces. Classico is a good brand and I think all of them are gluten free.

Most of you know I use Isagenix products. And Isagenix has really helped me a lot! It's so annoying that I can't just eat something fast anymore. And that I have to buy special things now. But, Isagenix has made it easier for me to not have to worry about making so many meals. I can quickly make a shake or grab a bar and I am good to go. I don't have to think about whether it's gluten free or not. Well, two of the four Isagenix bars are gluten free and it happens to be my two favorite flavors! :) And I know I am getting the nutrients and vitamins and the energy I need everyday. Especially now since you are going to be eliminating a lot of things from your diet since you are living gluten free, Isagenix would be good to look at. It will do so much good for you!
