This morning our preacher spoke about attitude and how much of a difference attitude makes in the way things turn out in our lives.
Does attitude make a difference? I think so.
As she spoke I remembered one of my favorite passages from the Bible, the one that challenges me to think about "whatever is true, honorable, just, pure, etc."
It seems I always have to remember to smell the roses, when it might as well be a part of my everyday life. Speaking of everyday life and how to live it with energy and excitement, here's the CyberTale I promised yesterday.
----------------------
ADD VENTURE
----------------------
Add Venture to your life. Do it immediately.
Do it your way. That’s ok.
Venture forth. Venture inward, outward, upward.
Go for it.
Only you can be you. You are one of a kind.
Memorial service last week.
Family, friends remembered Mom & Dad.
Can’t tell you what they said.
But as they spoke they pieced together the riddle
of Mom…
of Dad…
of Mom and Dad together…
venturing out, venturing on, venturing home.
I was inspired.
I thought, “Where shall I venture? Will the choice be mine?
Am I willing, ready, eager to add Venture to my life today?”
--------------------------------
Continuing on the subjects of adventure, right thinking, daily practice, and getting back to the original subject of Excellence, here's an audio file about The Shaklee Difference*. It explains Shaklee's 50-year, everyday Venture Toward Excellence. I hope that you will not only be able to open it (I use media player) but that you will also find it encouraging. TO LIFE.!
Love and God's Blessings

2 Amazing Stories
Just after my last post, about The Secret, I invited a few friends to watch Oprah and then share with me their reactions. I got mixed responses, some skeptical and some enthusiastic.
One friend told of the freedom she felt after listening to the Teachers of The Secret on the Oprah show, freedom like she remembers once feeling long ago, and is so looking forward now to having again in her life.
One friend who wasn't even able to watch the Oprah show nevertheless tried consciously to focus on the butterfly to come instead of the cocoon he was trying to get out of and to his surprise, a wonderful and unexpected blessing happened like within a day. As he shared his amazement and excitement with me it sounded like he was feeling like he too could live again.
And isnt' that what its all about. To live, free and full as God has designed. And in doing so to contribute to the fullness of the life of others and of the planet.
I was interviewed today by an independent company doing a survey for my company, Shaklee. The survey had to do with 10 environmental initiatives Shaklee is considering, all toward moving them further in front as a Climate Leader, raising the bar for other environmentally conscious companies to follow, should they choose. I'm learning there are many ways to give life.
One thing Shaklee is doing now is sponsoring Will Steger's Global Warming 101 Project, helping provide maps and educational materials to schools.
This is getting pretty long so next post will be another CyberTale, about adventure. TO LIFE.!

Oprah, "The Secret", and Life
I watched The Secret on YouTube last night.
Then watched The Oprah Show today which was all about The Secret.
The Secret is really no secret at all. It is the wisdom of the ages, which anyone, anywhere can discover themself. Most of it I have taught and shared in coaching and counseling sessions. It has to do with setting yourself free from the grip of whatever steals life from you.
When you understand The Secret you have the power to live. Like Tevya in Fiddler on the Roof you can sing and celebrate no matter how difficult your immediate circumstances. Sing it. To life, to life, LaChaim. Sing it over and over again. Celebrate the breath of life within you. Celebrate your immeasurable worth to God, the Great Creater of the Universe. Celebrate until you perceive the burdens of the day as just that -- burdens of the day -- with no power over you, your dreams, or your tomorrows.
I watched The Secret last night. Already I feel the blockages in my life lifting. I see and feel my dreams coming alive again. I am visualizing the path ahead. And not only that, I am gaining the power and confidence to take that first step down that path to wholeness, completeness, and Shalom. TO LIFE.!

Arctic Adventure
Here's an irony.
True or False. The best places to go to calculate the extent of global warming are the coldest places in the world.
True, of course. And Will Steger is taking another trip, going to the top of the world to study climate change. He's been there before, but some of the huge ice shelf he traversed in the past is totally gone. He's leaving on Feb 14 for a 4-month trip by dog sled across Baffin Island.
I'm going to follow along. Shaklee Corporation is providing FREE Will Steger Arctic Expedition Maps and I'm ordering mine before they are all gone.
I love Shaklee. I love their products that fuel great adventures, peak performances, and my own everyday activity. I love their philosophy of living "In Harmony with Nature" which has led Shaklee to become the first corporation in the world to be Certified Climate Neutral. And I love the 'Join Us' membership opportunity which allows me not only to be a part of a corporation that is making a positive difference on the environment but also allows me to make a difference myself by using their environment-friendly products.
There really are good people out there busy about the business of giving life, energy and vitality ... to the planet, to their communities, and their loved ones. And hey! by the principle of 'what goes around comes around' their lives are full and rich as well.

Feb - Heart Health Month
February is Heart Health Month. Is that because of SweetHeart's Day on the 14th?
There is so much a person can do to improve their Heart Health.
Diet. Exercise. Supplements. Regular medical exams.
Pharmaceuticals. Even geneological research.
I began practicing Yoga 5 years ago.
Started using Shaklee's Heart Health Solutions 2 years ago.
Been getting more regular exercise for a year now.
The Result
Blood pressure is down.
Doctor cut blood pressure medicine by one half.
Cholesterol is way down, safely within the normal range.
And I feel younger and have tons more energy.
