I met Linda Williams on the telephone - she living in Utah - and myself living in New York. I had started my first facebook group and she was one of the first people that joined.
We had basic similarities - we were both widows and both on our journey with Isagenix to the 100 lb club. That one conversation changed both our lives. Our shared passion, our shared pains, our shared love of our children established a fast friendship for both of us. We did what we tend to always do in Isagenix - we fall madly in love with the other person - their soul, their intellect, their emotions, their being and in Linda's case her laugh. And the feeling grew while our bodies shed lbs.
We met in August 2011 at Celebration. Linda had just lost 100 lbs. In that last month before Celebration she became a super woman to me. Her race to stage became all our race. We cheered her through our facebook group. Everyone fell in love with Linda. But no one could have been more proud of her than me. She was my hero. We laughed and cried so much and then we were on stage together. I felt like the mother who watched her child grab the ring. I was so excited for her that I forgot that I was there for the same reason - I had broken through and had hit 122 lb. loss.
And next to her in the first photo is the wonderful Laurie Kelley, who through a face book page post last month told me that I was her inspiration. Even though I have not spoken to her on the telephone I feel the same connection that I feel with Linda. Isagenix brought us all together. Isagenix changed our lives. Three everyday women who get up and go to work. Three women who raised a family, and cared about everyone around us with passion. We are the power of Isagenix.
These wonderful women of Isagenix have changed my life. It is their posts that have steered my journey. So I dedicate this to both of you. Crazy about you ladies.
