Christmas Straight from the Heart!

I have already posted my December Blog "Good Health is our Greatest Wealth" but being so close to Christmas I thought it only appropriate to post a second blog that was in some way related to Christmas. You've probably guessed what my January topic is going to be - "Losing those extra Holiday pounds" ...lol

I don't know if its just me but Christmas seems to come around quicker and quicker each year. There's still only 365 days in a year so I guess its just me... lol! If you read my November blog you will remember I said that Christmas was one of my favorite Holidays. Aside from the fact that its one of the biggest religious celebrations, there's something very magical about the love that is felt at this time of year - no other Holiday, in my opinion, generates so much love and goodwill as Christmas and the New Year.

I know what I am about to say may sound a little selfish, especially in a world that is full of poverty and potical wars but until 6 or 7 years ago Christmas was the one time of year when I would always look to my boyfriend, my significant other, my husband (whatever relationship I happen to be in around Christmas time) to adorn me with beautiful meaningful gifts (well, I am a Caribbean Queen and Queens should be showered with gifts, right! ...lol). I was always such low maintenance throughout the year that I felt Christmas was 'my time.' I wanted gifts that showed me how much he truly cared, how much I really meant to him and how special our relationship was. Surprisingly, I wanted this more at Christmas time than any other time of the year, even more than my birthday which I know is a little strange. However, sadly I don't think this wish was ever really fulfilled by ANYONE (ahhhhh) ... I bet I know what you're thinking. No, its not that I expected really extravagant gifts, just things that showed either aaaalot of thought, effort or sacrifice (by-the-way, an expensive gift would fall under the 'sacrifice' category... lol).... I hope you're not feeling sorry for me or, even worse, being mad at me because underneath all that superficial stuff I really do feel very blessed: I am in relatively good health (of course it would be even better if I exercised more); I have a healthy spunky eleven year old, I have a roof over my head, food on the table, basic home comforts, a home-based business that I love... the list just goes on and one. So you see, I do take time to reflect and appreciate all that I have and also on those who have nothing - nothing but inner turbulence, a spiritual void, no family to reminisce with, no friends to celebrate with - just total loneliness! Yes, I really do have a lot to be grateful for. Today when I ask myself if I care about receiving the perfect Christmas gift?" My answer is "absolutely not!!!" Hey, but finding a new Lexus in the driveway on Christmas day would be kind'a nice... I'm just kidding!!!

'Tis most definitely the season to be jolly but more importantly 'tis the season for giving (to the needy that is). So now would be a great time to let go of any unrealistic gift expectations and turn your focus to the less fortunate. By doing this I think you will find yourself becoming far more appreciative of anything you receive!

In addition to the above why not also do some internal cleansing: If you are holding on to any negative thoughts, malicious intentions or hateful feelings towards your spouse, a friend, neighbor, co-worker or family member, now would be a good time to let it go and take a moment to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah or whatever your celebratory term happens to be...

REJOICE and GIVE THANKS!!!

Have a Happy & Safe Holiday Season!

Hope you continue to follow my blogs in 2010.

Global love and peace to all,

Good Health is Your Greatest Wealth

We often forget that good health is our greatest wealth!

Let's not be so busy trying to create wealth that we neglect our health and possibly the health of our family. First and foremost, we need to invest in ourselves!

About five months ago I discovered a great new "chewable" dietary supplement that is totally natural (the best from land & sea). It took three years to research and formulate and only became available about eighteen months ago. The name of this supplement is...drum roll please..... chews-4-health . It is already receiving national recognition and is getting ready to enter the European arena in 2010. C-4-H is the sponsor of Lifetime's "The Balancing Act." Among its customers and endorsers is Actor Stephen Baldwin (brother to Alec Baldwin), Actress & Health Advocate Suzanne Somers, Football Celeb Jerome "The Bus" Bettis... to name but a few (I only drop these names to confirm its legitimacy). I take my C4H daily and love 'em plus they actually taste good. Oh, and the good news is they are safe enough for children (2 yrs and older), nursing mothers, pregnant women yet potent enough for the biggest bodybuilders. Please find out more about the ingredients by visiting:

www.chews4health.com/botanicalhealth

(The Chews-4-Health corporate headquarters is located in North Carolina and can be visited between 9am-5pm Mon-Fri if you happen to live in NC. C4H is not just a name you type on your internet browser, they are actually a 'bricks & mortar' company).

Yes, I am an Affiliate for this incredible product but I only became an Affiliate after I started seeing positive results with my own eyes. Nowadays, I actually make it a point to become an Affiliate for any product, service, business concept or company I feel has something of value to offer especially since most affiliate programs are usually free or low-cost and many provide tremendous value to us but without Affiliates or multi-million dollar advertising campaigns few of us would even know about them... but I digress! Let me get back to the point of my blog - health!

Those of you who know me, know that while I fully support integrative medicine I am a firm believer in the amazing healing powers of Mother Nature (the botanical approach). I believe Mother Nature has almost everything we need to achieve optimal health & natural beauty. Add to that, we all know digestion and absorption begins in the mouth - firstly breaking down food with our teeth; secondly adding digestive enzymes from our saliva to break down the nutrients and only when this process is complete do we attempt to swallow the food. So why should a dietary supplement be broken down any differently? "Chewing" your way to better health makes perfect sense to me!

Anyway, before I start sounding like an infomercial, just check out the Chews-4-Health website and do your own research.

Thank you for reading my blog. I hope it encouraged you to sit back and re-evaluate your priorities!

To you good health and natural beauty,

PS....... By-the-way, there are several ways to be reimbursed for the cost of the chews if money is an issue or if you need to supplement your income, one of them is a very unique program called NCM (national co-op marketing) where 90% of the referral work is done for you. Like I said earlier, I don't want to sound like an infomercial so I encourage you to check it out for yourself. Send me a message if you have any questions.
