Dedicated to the Magnificent Jo-Ann DiLorenzo and the spectacular Francisca Ruiz


Sometimes in life you get more than you give and even though I didn't know it that beautiful Sunday afternoon that Jo-Ann and Franny showed up on my back porch that my life was about to change - IT DID.

My friend Laura who had just started the Isagenix products brought these two magnificent women to visit me this particular Sunday afternoon.  Did not know that the two most powerful forces in my whole life had just appeared before me.  But Franny knew it.

Jo was interested in knowing more about the Ionix Supreme but as our conversation went on it was very clear to me that she knew more about organics and health than anyone I had yet to meet.  They both asked me to bring out the whole array of Isagenix products and then proceeded to do the process of kinesiology (also known as muscle testing) - (Based on the concept of internal energy fundamental to traditional Chinese medicine, muscle testing is a noninvasive way of evaluating the body’s imbalances and assessing its needs. It involves testing the body’s responses when applying slight pressure to a large muscle, to provide information on energy blockages, the functioning of the organs, nutritional deficiencies, and food sensitivities, among other things. It can also be used to test the body’s responses to herbs and other remedies.)  

I watched for a few hours as they both muscle tested each item and I became more and more intrigued by these two forces of life.  They walked away with a bottle of Ionix and a canister of IsaCrunch because those were the only two products that worked for both of them.   As time went on - building their bodies with the Ionix they both found out on a future muscle test that all the products worked for them.  I happened to be with them in Franny's house when they discovered this and beside the huge glow on my face - I secretly was saying to myself   ummmmmmmm -  we got it right.   Even though when I do an Isagenix super Saturday I always do a little skit on them they both know that it is because of how much I love them and how much they have added to life.   They brought love in to a space that had so little room for love.

They became my friends,  they became my  mentors, I became their mentor, we blended our families, we started our IsaMasterMinds group together.  But most of all they both gave me a reason for wanting me to become the best I could become.  When Jo calls me and tells me to do something on the spiritual realm I do it without even asking why.  When Franny tells me to do something on any realm I do it because I always know she has my back.  We fell madly in love with each others spirits, minds, ideas, goals.

So that is what Isagenix does - it allows you the space to grow and learn, share and rejoice.   These two IsaSpectacularAngels brought with them Dr. Nidia Carrero, Dr. Carles Vilches, baby Franny Ruiz, Marina Bellow, Lily Ruiz and a whole incredible group of amazing human beings that continue to touch my life.

I can't say anything more about them, then you all already know.  They both are active in being there for everyone in their down-line, up-line, cross-line, any line.  They are women of service.  They are women of peace.   They are women of love.

Dedicated to my wonderful daughter Aysha - could never have done Isagenix without you baby.

Every once in a while I have an a-ha moment and today realized that without the kiddo I never could have been successful with the Isagenix program.   She rooted me on from the sidelines, cheered with each lb. that was shed, watched me go from a couch potato to a living participating human being and most of all she opened all my Isagenix boxes and lovingly put the products on the shelves for me.  She became my reason for wanting to make the change in my life that finally got me back or as close back to the space I was in before our major loss.

So my darling sweet Aysha, just wanted to acknowledge that you are the reason for all the wonderful changes that have happened to me in the last three years.  Sometimes I don't tell you enough how much you sacrificed when I got to depressed to be able to do the things that were the memories that your childhood was made up of.  So today is the day that I get to say it out loud.   Sometimes tragedies change our directions, and sometimes sadness changes our pace but never do they take away the bond and love between a mother and her child.

Love you sweetheart.   Just wanted you to know how proud I am of you.
