2012-01-25T19:14:00.000-08:00

Lets face it, we are all trying to do whats right by our friends and family and trying to bring in an income from working at home. The job market just isnt the same these days and that is why so many people are starting to think outside of the box.
When you start a new business, do you follow your heart and do what you believe in? Do you get the support from your upline once your in? No matter what business your in we all need support from one another. Any comments or questions?

Most important thing is to have faith in yourself!! You can do it!

2012-01-25T12:44:00.000-08:00

Going to the Chapel of Love but where is there a Chapel of Love?? I have a friend that is intent about getting married in a Church or Chapel. The only thing is that every where I have called you have to be a member. Ok, so she doesnt go to church that I know of. Does that make her a bad person? No, does that mean she doesnt deserve to get married in a church NO.. so now what? I suggested getting married at a beach or someplace nice and quiet like a park or something. What is so wrong about that? Then having the reception at a dinner place... Just throwing some ideas around...

The new me

2011-09-28T15:27:00.000-07:00

I love running into old friends and them having to take a double look because of all the weight I took off.... I am not only getting leaner but building muscle and also getting my self esteem back... How am I doing this? With Body By Vi. People are losing weight, getting healthier and making great money by just sharing the shakes with others. I am on my way to becoming a Director and getting my BMW FREE!!!!

Why did I decide Vi? Because I was tired of all the hooplah with the Insurance plans and I wanted to do it the natural Healthy way. I am tired of all the Drs pushing pills and making deals with the pharmacies. Things you learn when you work behind the scenes and your not a patient.

I am also a great motivator and I love to help people... Are you trying to develop the new you? Whether it be by self esteem, weight loss, weight gain or just trying to make extra money? Then let me help.... Are you all in or all out? Let me know if your interested in starting a weight loss or health group!!!

So everyone that knows me knows that I have alot of thoughts going on inside my head do I verbally express them? Not always...
But when I saw this pic on the net, Im thinking WTH?? Why? and whats running through this guys mind...... Lets have fun by putting in a caption of what you think this guy is thinking or better yet, what his friends is thinking....

The New You

2011-09-27T19:26:00.000-07:00

Can you handle it? Better yet can your loved ones around you handle it? Do you have the attitude to make it in this world. I love being a Grandma, a Hot Grandma at that LOL No seriously, what are you doing to succeed in life or you one of the ones that go from day to day just living life. Dull boring Life. Remember life is what you make of it and you are in control of your own destiny.

I exercise every day, drink my Vi shakes twice a day and work out to the beat of Zumba, belly dancing, Burlesque dancing... Whatever floats my boat at that time of the day. The main thing is that I am moving and extending those muscles and eating and drinking healthy. I also keep a healthy mind and soul, concentrating on the core of my Spirit. A happy body makes for a Happy Me...... Tell me what keeps you motivated and healthy.. I really would love to know....

2011-09-27T10:11:00.000-07:00

Now is the time to look deep inside your soul and think of who you are, what you are and how you became the person you are.. Are you ready for a new you? We aren't getting any younger, life is what you make of it and you deserve the best. Think of what you will be in 10, 15 years. Will you be content with your life on the same path?

Always looking for new recipes

Decided

2011-09-12T05:02:00.000-07:00

I've decided to go further with this blog post Not as easy as it looks. Just to name a few...

Not easy to be a pet owner, especially to a dog that thinks the Grass is greener on the other side of the fence.. No matter what I do... He proceeds to get out of the fence and lays by the gate but on the other side. No grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence.

I am a great friend, but how many times can friends constantly complain.. Its like I am a sounding board.. Enough is enough. I like to think, be and stay positive and really dislike hearing about problems. But I love all my friends that have a positive outlook on life.

Applebees is not my favorite restaurant at the moment. Hubby found a bug in their food... YUCK Manager was awesome, server was terrific but will never go there again.

Razors that go dull after one use...

Ok, this is my rant and rave for today... I usually have a Ray of sunshine all around me but had to vent somewhere. LOL

Not as easy as it looks

2011-09-12T04:29:00.000-07:00

How come I can write all day long on Facebook but when it comes to writing a blog, its almost near impossible? Quick someone give me a topic!! :)

2011-08-22T05:34:00.001-07:00

Whens the last time that you made a specific change in your life? Do you live day by day hoping to get through and just wonder if you will survive.... Well, its too easy to sit in front of the tv or computer ;) and let your life slip away. If you had one dream, whether it be a vacation to someplace exotic, something for yourself or family or to help someone what would it be? Or you telling yourself it can't be done because you dont have the funds, initiative or willpower to do it...

I have been searching for something in a Direct Sales Company forever, I just never found it until recently.

I love Road trips and my friend Lisa Saunders went on an amazing one yesterday. We were looking for our purpose in life and we are the type that we just get in the car and GO..... We didn't know what to expect or what we would find but we went.. What would it hurt?

Started on the road at 7 am, caught up on old times, new times and just chatted like great friends. We were headed for the Rosen Center in Orlando, little did we know there would be three of them. We went in to the one we are familiar with and WRONG one... We asked some wonderful vendors that were there sharing their creative pieces, on our way again.. We made a wrong turn again, sat in the Peabody back parking lot trying to figure out our directions along comes a UPS lady... She said FOLLOW ME, I turned the car around and flew like a bat out of hell... If anyone knew where it was she did.... Yes, she led us right to it... Rosen Shingle Creek we finally found you.. MUAH!!
Beautiful is all I can say!!!!
Imagine pulling up, Happy People everywhere dressed in dresses, jeans, Vi Tshirts. Yes, people like you and me...
We followed, talked to people and was ready for the excitement...
We found our seats, there was a feeling in the air of excitement and relief!! People were searching for something and they finally found it with Vi... They were ready to eat up the information and detaiils that were to follow....
We were ready to soak up everyone's information and begin making our own.stories.
We heard from friends that were hit seriously from the economy and they didn't know where else to turn. They put their life on the line and they made it. We heard from friends that lost tons of weight and are building muscle and taking their life back for Health Reasons.
We all agreed that it's time to make a change and the only way that you will succeed is if you take that leap. Leap of faith, believe in yourself. We met a wonderful little girl that just loved Lisa and it seems that all she wanted to do was dance and have fun. She was adorable.

As we were leaving, we saw Beautiful Black beemers! Yes, one day I will have mine... with the plate that says
"I told you so"

Got home about 8, kissed my wonderful husband and I went to sleep... Wonderful day!!!

I have to say with this Vi, they actually care about their promoters and customers. Its just not about the ones on top getting rich, see... they don't get rich until their downline or customers has made it. Each and every Ambassador thanked their team and swore to them that they would not quit until they saw them get to the top also. Its about sharing and caring.. Its about taking back your life from aches and pains and Dr visits to the healthy side..Yes, Vi has been approved by many Drs. and what makes it even better is that the shakes taste so yummy.... not just one flavor but many many flavors...

So my question to you is ......are you ready to take back your life? Are you ready to be in control? Are you ready to be healthy? I sure am and Ill see you at the top with you by my side. I also love Customers and referrals!!!
You are in charge of your future, don't let it slip by without taking control.... You rock!!!! http://deannaw.myvi.net/

The old Me and the new me......

New Years 2011

Do you believe a persons eyes are the window to his soul? What do you see when you look into someones eyes, do you see the pain or happiness and what is really going on behind their thoughts and actions. A person can do and say one thing and act another and until you actually listen to their voice and look deep into their eyes do you really see the true picture. Something to think about and I will tell you why I bring this up in a bit... Recently I started Body By Vi, Visalus and I love it. I have been on the 90 day challenge for about 30 days and have lost 12 lbs. This is something that I have never been able to do in 20 years. I would be a yo yo dieter, the scales would go up and the scales would go down but lets say I hated getting on the scale. It lied too much and I just didnt want to face the facts.

We have two choices in life, either you let life slip by or you take control and you live life the way it was meant to live. What will you do?

July 2011

Going South

2011-07-24T06:37:00.000-07:00

Looked in the mirror the other day and noticed things weren't as they were many years ago. Things are starting to go south. With this I mean, I am noticing wrinkles in my face where they weren't there before. I guess my body is starting to also. But that I didnt really notice yet :( I guess life is inevitable and its time to take back my body.... My body does not belong to you or you or you. It is my responsibility to make sure things are well oiled and maintained. This means I am responsible for what I put into my body.... Healthy Foods, Body By Vi products and making sure I get plenty of sleep and exercising.

Are you taking care of your temple? Are you strengthening the core of your spiritual being? If not, what are you waiting for? Don't wait, take control of your body.....

Body By Vi

2011-07-17T17:58:00.000-07:00

Refusing to believe that I am growing older. I will always be a 29 year old in my mind but my body is telling me different. Time to start exercising, and taking care of my temple. I dont want to be 60 years old in pain.. and I sure dont want to be dead at 60...... Raised 4 kids and now its time for me to relax go on vacation and just enjoy life.

Mother Nature

2011-04-30T06:27:00.000-07:00

We all know we cant control Mother Nature but we sure can try..... This week was very scary for friends and family in Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee. Imagine enjoying a nice day and then hearing the roaring winds and plummeting hail then 10 minutes later, everything you own is gone and in someone elses yard. What would you do? I would be very confused, not knowing where to go or what to do. This is why we need to help.. Go in your closets, go to the Dollar Store.... Gather items like dog food, cat food, detergents, household cleaning items whatever can help these people. Someday it could be you needing help...... While I am on a roll, how come it is that when Haiti or Japan we needed help but we cant help our own neighbors? Where are all the stars and business's helping? Where are the other countries when we need help. We have to fix this......... I may be only one person but I am willing to put one foot in front of the other and lending a helping hand. Are you??
