My 10th Big Fat Reason for Isagenix - FEELING SORRY FOR MYSELF

When I saw this come up yesterday,  from a page that I like - called the Optimism Revolution, I felt an immediate tingle, an immediate a-ha moment.  I needed this yesterday.  Needed it so badly.  I have been in a funk for the last month - falling down a hole that just kept getting bigger and bigger.  No matter how I reached out for help, I obviously wasn't saying the right words because no one threw me a life line.  It started with some tests that I had to take because I wasn't feeling well.  And it escalated to despair.  So what appears in my timeline but this.  I was waiting for someone to tell me I was okay exactly the way I was and then when I saw this I knew that it was all okay.

I know myself really well.   Have trouble asking for help when I need it.  So it's easy to fall through the cracks.  So when I saw this I made a decision to make sure that someone heard me.  Of all people the person who threw me the lifeline was someone I didn't know really cared.  But they had been watching me from a far for a long time and rode in like a Knight in Shining Armor to save me.  Not that anyone can save anyone.  But they opened the space for me to spit it all out.  When the conversation came to an end they were able to tell me that my journey with Isagenix had truly changed me.  I love it, when everything that happens in my life goes back to the passion and love affair that I have with Isagenix.  I say it over and over again - that without Isagenix and then Jim Rhoades and a whole host of unspoken heroes that I would not be here today, that I would not become the woman I have become.   So once again I get to say - I love you Isagenix, I am so happy that you found me, I am so inspired by all the new and wonderful changes that are always going on with the company. 

So this is dedicated to myself.  No matter what happens I stay on the journey.  Life always offers me another chance and that is called Today.

With gratitude for all who read my blogs.

Still having problems with the set-up but at least the photo is clear today.   Need another lesson.

I would appreciate if you could g+1 this blog - fifth box in from the left.

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.

Why Mentoring Is IMPORTANT

Hi Everyone...Andrea Hameed knows everything about Isagenix...she teaches me everything, and is the greatest Isagenix coach a person could ask for.  I am the blogging guru, and know pretty much everything there is too know about blogging.

1.  Really proud of Andrea's efforts and enthusiasm for blogging.
2.  I need to work more with her more, provide more mentoring as I woke up this morning to find she has written not one but two beautiful blog articles that I had not seen...why you ask...she found some kind of a magical way to turn her two articles into two new blogs.

So, I am reposting them in her real blog for her.  Hope you all will go revisit them and toss her a like so that she has all those wonderful things to cheer her on in her stats area.

The Incredible Women of the 100 lb. Club

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.

The 30 Day Program Explained By Kjersti Cote-The Brilliant Mineral Man's Daughter

There is no one like Kjersti Cote to explain the use and value of the 30 day program to us.  Using this program the way it was designed by John Anderson is the fastest way to get to the goal that we set for ourselves.
