My Big Fat Why for Isagenix-In Memory of My Husband

Life is a mysterious journey.   Different for everyone, but in some ways the same. We are all thrown curve balls and it is what we do with those balls that defines us.  I chose to fall apart, scream and shout, go insane, lose my mind, dive off of the highest diving board when my husband died.   No one could help me.  I didn't want to be helped.   I wanted to wallow in that pain.  I started the slow long journey of self destruction that not everyone does - but it was a choice that I made for not being able to save him.  His death became my fault - I couldn't fix it.  And that is what I do for a living I fix things.   You can tell me anything and I always know that I can fix it.   But how can you fix death.   I was in the wrong spot at the wrong time when the accident happened.  If I was in the right spot he would still be here - or  that is what I perceived.  In reality after reading his medical files I found out that there were other issues but that took me two and a half years to understand.

I became a prisoner of my couch.   It gave me comfort.  I let my hair turn grey and I let my body grow.  140 lbs later and through the divine intervention of the Dali Lama coming to Woodstock, NY - Isagenix found me.  I thought that if I could visit with the Dali Lama that I could be fixed.  As it turned out, my friend, who did have a visit with him,  had a beautiful incredible halo around his head, which I desperately wanted and wanted to snatch away from him - wound up telling me that the glow was from a system that he was doing called Isagenix.   He gave me a 30 day for free but I never touched it.   Left in the closet. 

 Through a series of events I found Isagenix on my own and went and looked at that box that I had and decided to give it a try.   And then God brought me an angel named Elisabeth Andersen and with her came her wonderful husband Darian and "my hero" Jim Rhoades. Elisabeth, Darian and Jim came to visit me and literally plucked me off my butt and made me their cause.  Jim blessed my home when he knew that there was no longer energy in it and I no longer had any room for God.   Elisabeth, Darian and Jim carried me on their backs.  After speaking at Top Achievers (thank you Travis Garza for stepping into my life), Jim and Kathy had a meeting in their room.  Everyone was given a few moments to speak and I asked Jim if I could be last.  It was there, in that room, with mostly strangers but with the comfort of Kathy and Jim, Elisabeth and Darian that I found myself again.

So my big fat why for Isagenix is huge.  Yes I wanted to lose the weight, yes I wanted to be healthy again.  But the real reason is that I wanted to give to others what had been given to me.  The gift of Life.
