Working With The Best

I have been on a very long journey to achieve my goals of becoming the fittest & healthiest I can ever be. After recovering from back surgery & ratifying to my doctor who told me "I'll never do anything actively fun again" to basically take those words & shove em, I have accomplished many many things people don't think are possible after a serious surgery simply because a "doctor" tells them its not possible. WRONG!! For starters, I began with a workout program called Turbo Jam, moved to ChaLEAN Extreme, Rev Abs, Accomplished the toughest workout ever to be put on DvD called INSANITY & now, P90X and ChaLEAN Extreme are a part of my weekly routines along with LISS, Yoga, Stretch & HIIT. These workouts played  and currently play a role in my new lifestyle to get me to reach my goal. I did it, but I didn't stop there because I believe you should always do something to make yourself better. That entails making new goals. Becoming healthy isn't just a 90 day plan. Its a lifetime change and its a decision you make for yourself and no one else.

After INSAINTY, I missed my weight training dearly. A lot of women are extremely scared of lifting weights, but I'm not & I know that its exactly what anyone's body needs to develop beautiful muscles. That and the proper meal/exercise & supplement program to follow. After a few weeks of discussion with my friend Carter Irvin, I was introduced to Stephaney Theobald, who owns a nutrition store with her husband Jason Theobald, called Natty Nutrition. Together, these 2 individuals have helped tons of people reach not only health & fitness goals, but also gain knowledge of how your body responds to the proper foods, hydration & proper supplementation to get you to your goals. These 2 have accomplished mile stones together from Bodybuilding to creating a clientel who supports their unselfish knowledge & advice they pour out daily.

Morning LISS (Light Intensity Steady State) Training has become a favorite of mine. Helping to maintain the lean muscle mass I am working so hard to deveolop and keep, the 30 minutes in the morning of LISS has escalated my workout regimine to a whole new level of fitness. I love being able to wake up in the morning & do something not strenuous, but productive enough to get my day off & running in a positive way. Slowing down when it comes to working out works for you, not against you. Those of you who think you need to obliterate yourselves with crazy workouts like I did with INSAINTY can actually stop that, get your body back to 100% without all the pain & have gains in your body instead of losses. Its important to know the science of the body before getting involved in something you "think" will help you with your goals. Research is important & I highly recommend digging deeper into what it is you want for your body & do the RIGHT routine to get there. Slow & Steady wins the race. As the popular saying goes, "Rome WASN'T built in a day!" Niether was your body so take the time to work it out & fuel it properly with nutrition, hydration & supplements

It has been over 3 months since I bought my program from Stephaney. I have seen amazing results from using the program she has put together for me & I am held accountable through a TEAM effort. Being in 2 completely different cities doesn't stall my ambition to become the fittest I've ever been and it certainly doesn't stop Stephaney from helping me achieve my goals. I cannot elaborate enough what a fabulous woman I am working with. Not only do I still get to workout with my fabulous Beachbody programs at home, but I am never hungry, I'm constantly hydrated, my energy levels are amazing, I am lighter, leaner & absolutely more honed in on what I was missing nutrition wise to burn the extra fat from my body. 

The supplements I am on are awesome & have no side effects except for increasing lean muscle, better recovery & intense workouts. I am forever grateful for Stephaney Theobald, Natty Nutrition & the support I have been given. I will continue to work with Stephaney as long as I possibly can & I assure you, if you want to reach your goals faster with the RIGHT nutrition, exercise & supplements, do not hesitate to get with Stephaney or Jason to aid you on your journey to success. I have turned many individuals to them as well & I have got nothing but Thank You's & exciting messages since they began to work with Stephaney & Jason as well. Your nutritional needs are met 100% & everything that is done is to get you to reach your goals. I couldn't be more greatful for Stephaney & I am excited to have met her. 

Everything takes time & effort. I can't promise you how fast you will get your results because you can't promise me how hard you will work to achieve them. However, if you have a goal and you are ambitious enough to achieve it, you will do it. Small steps lead to completed goals, and bigger & better things to accomplish. Thank You so much Stephaney for helping me with what I call the "Missing Links to Success." I am ever so grateful I was introduced to you & will continue to spread the word about you, Jason & Natty Nutrition!!

What I do or don't do today....

Its like an explosion. The things we do everyday that impact our tomorrows. Small things can turn into gigantic successes or losses. Gigantic things can demolish into nothing, like when someone steps on a child's dream. Its the decisions we create in our lives that depict where we will take ourselves, who we decide to be around on a daily basis and the mental set we live or step away from everyday. These are all factors that impact our day to day lives. 

Creating a life for yourself and for your family is a lifelong decision. It grows throughout the years as things change and people get older. It isn't just one decision that impacts how we live our lives, its constantly making the right ones to ensure we all live a long, fulfilling, healthy & happy life with the people we love. Some things seem nearly impossible at times, and at other times, we look back on those seemingly impossible endeavors and wonder why we made it to be that way. Approaching anything with a clear & sound mind will not only aid in making it easier on you, but less stressful to those around you as well. It can be anything. From "Who didn't pack the kids lunches?" to "Should we file for bankruptcy?" Each step leading up to these events slowly brought us to them. Realizing what steps we should have avoided or which ones we need to take all come down to how our attitudes were in taking or missing a step or 2. 

We create our own environments. We get the choice to decide what happens now. The popular saying "Its a 2 way street" applies to people on both sides at all times. When you 50/50 the 2 way street, there is a delicate or disruptive balance brought into any situation that can be handled in one or two ways. Some people will always want to make it more difficult & argue that their way is right without hearing the other side, and others will simply decide together, to take the appropriate actions, make the right choices and take the situation to a positive level. 

I choose to live my days as though my future is here right now. I'm a single, 28 year old independent, very fortunate woman with 2 dogs & a roof over our heads to care about & make sure our quality of life is taken care of appropriately. Sometimes things happen that make you sit back & re-evaluate your life and what needs to be done at that point. How can I make the quality of my life better? What can I do to help my family or friends? How can I help other people make the quality of their lives better? Do we really NEED this or do we just WANT it? What children can I be a role model for? How can I help someone who doesn't know me? I have so many questions, just like the rest of you, that run through my head on a daily basis just like these. What I choose to do about them is entirely up to me & my attitude approaching them. 

I choose to love, help, motivate, inspire, cooperate, listen, learn and genuinely give to those not so fortunate as some of us. The payback is always 10 fold. I don't have a thing in this world I regret because I LEARNED from the things I've done & I chose to change my situation when needed. My approach is not like your approach, but we can all decide to make life better by realizing that what we do or don't do today, impacts our tomorrows. Your life is what you have made it to be. Where you are or aren't right now is because of the decisions you made, good or bad. Change is ALWAYS an option. Don't be afraid to ask for help, learn to humble yourself and focus on what you need for your life and the people in it. Each path we take, will lead us to where we want to go. Choose your path, and choose it wisely.

Core Health Products are the Only Vitamins and EFA's I'll Use

I had the privilege one Saturday in April 2010 of sitting in with a nutritionist by the name of Shan Stratton. Shan Stratton has been the nutritionist for the NY Yankees for 17+ years & has worked with numerous baseball teams such as the Boston Red Sox, LA Dodgers & more. His newest clients Donnovan McNabb & Maria Sharapova are just a few more to drop significant names to the list. The reason I feel the need to drop thses names is because these people, as Shan says, have access to the best of the best & they choose Shan. So what does that tell you? Its a given that he is the best of the best at what he does.

In order for these athletes to stay in top physical condition inside and out, Shan helps to show them how to actually UTILIZE the food they eat instead of storing it in the body where it turns into UNDIGESTED FAT, or what most people don't know it as, CHOLESTEROL. Undigested Fat in the blood stream is Cholesterol. When you have high levels of it, you are diagnosed with high cholesterol. So what does this mean to you? Your first instinct & generally your doctor's orders are to get you on something such as Lipitor & start dosing you up with pills. The PROBLEM is, those pills DO NOT FIX the issue, they COVER it up.

The nutrition that Shan has created & is proud to share, don't just cover up the issue at hand like pepto bismol, but they actually fix the problem inside of you. Here are a few things to put it in perspective for you:

First of all, not one of us actually UTILIZES the food we put into our bodies once its out of the raw state. When we cook something, meat, vegetables or whatever, we KILL all of the Live Enzymes in the food. Which leads to our bodies not absorbing the actual nutrients we need form the food.

So what are enzymes? You might ask....

Enzymes are catalysts. Most are proteins. (A few ribonucleoprotein enzymes have been discovered and, for some of these, the catalytic activity is in the RNA part rather than the protein part. Enzymes bind temporarily to one or more of the reactants of the reaction they catalyze. In doing so, they lower the amount of activation energy needed and thus speed up the reaction. (Courtesy of my dictionary for the full description)

In order for your body to burn Undigested Fat, you need Enzymes. Period. Until you burn the undigested fat in your blood stream, you will not successfully burn that excess fat we carry. The fat around the belly, legs, thighs, arms, butt & more. Yep, I said it. YOU WILL NOT BURN THAT WITHOUT THE HELP OF ENZYMES. For those of you who don't know, our bodies cannot survive without Enzymes.

What Shan has created are phenominal Vitamin Supplements that contain what he calls MEDS. It stands for Maximum Enzyme Delivery System. The vitamins he has created are similar to the way Shakeology works for us, but actually burns the undigested fats in the blood stream and also promotes the separation of the red blood cells so oxygen can properly flow through the blood stream the way its intended to.

When we do a cardio workout, a majority of people in the world are burning more muscle than fat. We can workout over & over again with different routines, & we may lose weight, but the capacity to gain it back is much easier because we never successfully burned the undigested fat in our bodies. Its like a cover up. Take this example & swish it around in your brain for a minute:

We have land. Under that land lies massive amounts of oil. We drill for that oil for many many purposes. The main reason is to fuel our cars, planes, boats & more. We take that oil, put it through a refining process and then its ready to be UTILIZED by our vehicle/transpostation methods. Now, take that same oil straight from the ground & put it into our transportation. Are we gonna make it anywhere? Is that transportation method going to run on the unrefined gas thats in it? The answer of course is No.

That is exactly what we do to the foods we cook & eat. Does this make sense now? I hope so. Shan said this while we learned from him as well:

"Take an orange, if you could reach in and pull out the Vitamin C, 100% of the time, NOT 99.9999%, but 100% of the time you will pull out the 5 components that make up the actual Vitamin C. Its not just 1 component" here are the 5 components that make up Vitamin C:
Real vitamin C found in whole foods like fruits and vegetables contain the following components:

* Rutin
* Bioflavonoids (vitamin P)
* Factor K
* Factor J
* Ascorbinogen
* Ascorbic Acid

The J & K Factor are 1 component so if you count 6, its ok, but when you look at the pie chart for this, you will see the J & K Factors are in one section of the pie chart. What most people do not know at all is, when you buy Vitamin C tablets, you are told you need 500mg  a day of Vitamin C, but in reality you only need 60mg of Vitamin C.

I am on the Core Health Pack & the Heart Health Vitamins & I cannot say enough good things about these vitamins. I feel lighter, I feel the food being UTILIZED when I eat 20 minutes after I take them & my workouts are BETTER by FAR! I am energized & I am seeing things change on my body that were not changing before. Even doing INSANITY. This is as honest as it gets.

I am so excited to share this with everyone & I'll always support Shan & what he has done for me & so many other people. Its the missing link in the question that lingers with everyone "Why can't I burn this excess fat when I've done everything I can possibly do?"

There is also a Digestive Health Vitamin he has which actually is for Indigestion, Digestion & a few other things for your insides. That actually goes in & FIXES the problem instead of covering it up the way Pepto Bismol, Rolaids & Tums do. Those DO NOT FIX the problem. They simply cover it up for the time being.

When I tell people that Fitness starts on the inside, this is exactly what I mean. Shan preaches it too. Why cover up something forever when you can fix it by delivering ENZYMES to our bodies that we ACTUALLY need?! It makes sense & I'm on board with a few other people I know.

Shan said there are 3 things he will ALWAYS have in his life:

Core Health Vitamins
SHAKEOLOGY (Yep, he LOVES IT)
Kangen Water

I couldn't agree more! What a fabulous time I had & what wonderful things I learned. I am happy to say it is a genuine blessing that I was able to join Shan & learn everything I did. If you want to check out his website, you can & there is even a short clip of him introducing himself & talking about the vitamins. He is a VERY genuine guy & cares about everyone's health! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask & if I don't know, I'll ask him myself!

Thank You for your time & I hope I was able to deliver the information so everyone understands. Below is his website: http://www.corehealthproducts.com/coachashley

Don't Chase It

 

There are many reasons why people don't want to be a part of something. Trying to chase an individual into something they aren't interested in or ready for doesn't benefit you or them at all. One of the things you end up doing is running in circles chasing your own tail. You put so much concentration and focus on this one person that you don't realize you are missing out on so many others who are just waiting for an opportunity like the one you have to come their way. If you have found yourself doing this very thing, you need to let it go. Let them go. Let them take the time they need in their lives to figure out what in life truly is for them that will make them happy. You can talk yourself to your grave with these people and they still won't pick up the shovel to bury you. Just let go.

I have experienced this very thing with many friends and family in my life. I have found family to be the hardest to break. Even being that I am an example of what I do works, its still not enough. There have been plenty of times I have tried and tried to get my family or friends to see the things I do & come along with me on the ride I have taken but they just won't budge. After a while, you get tired and you realize nothing is going to give so you eventually stop. People have to see it for themselves. There isn't a way to get them to see things the way you do. All you can proceed to do is what you have chosen and be a positive example of it for them. 

You will get a promised cold shoulder form someone who has heard from you over and over again about whatever endeavor it is you have to present to them. They ignore your phone calls, they don't want to talk to you, they keep any conversation short or deter it onto something else as quickly as they can & you start to see that they are doing everything they can to completely avoid you. RECOGNIZE when that's happening to you! You could be chasing someone so far out of your life by continually begging and nagging them into this endeavor and you won't have them around anymore. STOP, and RECOGNIZE when that is happening with you. 

People have to be READY. When you try to force someone to see what you see or do what you do, they won't apply their best performance at any of it because you never gave them the time to actually find their own love for it. It can take weeks, months or years for some people to finally come around, & sometimes they won't come around at all. So why would you spend all of that precious time on one person when there are so many other people out there who actually WANT what you have to offer? 

Find a way to release the chase in you. Identify when you are running into a wall made of concrete and realize you are not going to break it no matter how fast and strong you're running into it. There are just people out there we cannot break and you have to be ok with that. Be it 10, 20, 50, or 100 "No's", you have got to just LET IT GO. Somewhere out there, YES is waiting for you to approach it. Once you see it, and you find other people who want the same things you do and who have the same vision, you'll ask yourself why you wasted so much time fighting yourself to get that one single person who just wouldn't budge. 

Everyone is different. Everyone has their own purpose and mission in life and its not up to us to figure out what that mission is or force what we have upon someone. Plant a simple seed & move forward. If people are going to respond to your opportunity, you can't expect it to happen right away. When you plant a seed in the ground it takes TIME to grow. It needs water, food & light to become its very best. Plant small seeds. Have faith that whatever happens, is for a reason and just accept it. Life is much fuller when you learn to release the chase in you. 

Lack Of Planning

Over the years I've been noticing the small things people do to make life more convenient because of busy schedules. Whether its a drive thru to get your breakfast, lunch or dinner, a morning pit stop at the local coffee shop or the gas station for your "stress" relieving cigarettes. The lines in those places seem bigger and bigger every morning. People all over the nation are scurrying about these places because they haven't given themselves the time to figure out how to make their busy schedules easier. 

What everyone fails to understand or just plain refuse to notice, is we all have the same amount of one thing; time. We all have 24 hours in a day, we all have 7 days in a week, 30 days in a month and 365 days in a year. So what's the one thing missing in all of these people's busy schedules? Planning. There is a SERIOUS lack of planning on people's plates. We start blaming others for something we could have easily planned ahead and it escalates into something unnecessary. When it comes to deadlines or being somewhere on time or getting a quick lunch before you head back to work, school or wherever it is you have to be. People have failed to PLAN AHEAD.

"Lack Of Planning On Your Part Doesn't Constitute An Emergency On Mine" 

I grew up on that saying. My dad, one of the smartest & most successful men I know, taught me that if I fail to plan ahead for my life, it doesn't create an emergency on his behalf. I am the one who failed to plan things out, therefore, its my duty to take the responsibility of failing to plan upon myself & not point the finger at so & so because they forgot to do something. Its not the other person, its me. I am the one who was required to do my part in a job, a project, a meeting or whatever it is. I am the one who needs to hold my ownself accountable for the things I need to do in order to lead a successful life. If I keep pointing the finger at someone else for my faults, I am simply creating an unnecessary argument over something I could have prevented if I just planned it out.

So where am I going with all this? What is the point of my reasoning behind lack of planning? Glad you asked! Whether or not you were wondering, I'm still going to tell you. 

Excuses. Absolutely every single day I hear, and you do too, excuses that removes a person from being at fault for something. For instance, being unhealthy and overweight. & yes, I'm using that as an example because it is a SERIOUS problem and my blogs are based on health and fitness. The most common excuse out there and the most irritating in my opinion is "I am too busy." Too busy for what? May I ask? Too busy to take control of your life so you can actually live it out longer and enjoy life more? Too busy to take control of your eating habits & lose weight because it takes hard work & self discipline? DO YOU REALLY THINK its a legitimate excuse?? I don't. I wake up at 4am every morning, whether I'm going to class or a meeting, or even if I have nothing to do no matter what because that is the time I know I will be without interruption. I plan it ahead. I plan my eating ahead when I'm at the grocery store. I buy healthy things I can place in ziplock baggies, be carried in my purse or in my car, so I know when I get hungry, I will have something to hold me over until lunch so I don't starve myself & devour lunch in 1 minute when its time to eat. 

Start planning out your schedule. Sit down at night before you go to bed and make a list. It takes 10 minutes to write a list of the most important things you need to get done the next day and it ensures you won't be running rapid during the day TRYING to figure out what you need to do next. 

Did you know it takes more time to figure out what you have to do as opposed to already having a list you can refer back to more than one time a day to constantly remind you what to do? Think about a day in your life where it seemed that getting everything you had to get done was almost virtually impossible. Now take that day and compose it into a list. Would that day have been less frantic, less stressful and MORE productive if you had a list starting with THE most important thing first and finishing with the least important? The answer is Yes. If you had to think about that, we need to talk. Its absolutely Yes. Without question the people who follow a list are less stressed and have enough time to do everything they need to get done in their day. 

No more excuses. Start planning your days out. Understandably life happens sometimes & we are interrupted, you can't plan that, but what you can do for the time you have without interruption, is plan ahead & take control of your life one step at a time. Its easy, its simple and you will find yourself finishing projects, deadlines & more and still have time at the end of your day to take care of you. Start small & start today.

You Gotta Want It

 

"I'm gonna try." The most common sentence people use to give themselves the option to fail without feeling like they didn't at least try. Why is it that so many people give themselves the option to fail at something? It doesn't matter what it is, people all over the world, in many different languages use the same excuse over and over again; "well at least I tried." What does that feeling of failing give someone? Is there satisfaction behind it? Do they hold their head high thinking to themselves "I tried but it was impossible so I gave up."? How many people do we know today who think that way? The answer is most likely a very high percentage of people we know, think exactly like that. The problem is, they haven't given themselves a reason to believe that they can actually achieve something because they let their attitude, pride and ignorance get in the way. They cannot see the end point of achieving their goals.

I know so many people who have told me they've tried and tried but failed and just decided to quit trying because its just too hard. No matter what it was, they just decided that giving up was the best thing to do. Don't get me wrong, I've been there. I was at a point in my life where giving up just seemed like the easiest thing to do because I didn't have to work hard on giving up. All I had to do was just quit. Simple enough. Anyone can just quit. People do it everyday, but do you ever notice how far in life those people get? Do you see these people walking around with a smile from ear to ear extending praise to others they encounter? I don't. I see unhappy individuals who set themselves up for failure because it was much easier to give up than really give it their all. Its not something to brag about and it isn't something I see people gladly sharing with others. When I talk to people who give me their "I tried but..." story, their heads are hanging low and thier attitude is usually negative because the feeling of failure is ugly. 

YOU HAVE GOT TO WANT IT. Period. There is no "trying" in the sentence "I'm Going To Do It!" If you genuinely, want something, with everything you are inside, you WILL NOT give up on the goals you have set for yourself. You will make sure that everything in your power with the tools you have available are utilized in every way, shape and form to get what you want. Desire is the key asset to reaching your goals and getting what you want. Knowing, that its out there for you and you won't let anyone or thing stop you from getting exactly that. The desire is what keeps you focused, keeps you motivated and keeps you pushing every single day, no matter how long it takes, to reach your set goals. Ambition, faith and courage in yourself will drive you in the opposite direction of trying. 

I often wonder why it is people wait so long to take control of their health, finances or any type of security in their lives? Why is it that thousands of people would rather wait until its almost too late, and spend hundreds upon thousands of dollars trying to fix what they could have prevented if they just did what they were supposed to in the beginning and never gave up on achieving their goals? The only answer I have seen to be true, is that giving up was easier to do because there was no work involved. People have let their family, friends, co-workers, teachers and more give them comfort in the simple phrase "I tried." They have received recognition from those people and found comfort in giving up. Its a very sad situation and most people will either wait until its almost too late to fix it, or won't fix it at all because the work and effort they have to put in to do it is too much, too hard and it would take too long. They have lost sight of the end point and given up altogether.

Remind yourself every single day why you aren't giving up. Envision the end point in your goals. Your future can be so successful if you keep going and going until your goals are achieved. Set yourself up for success. Once you have taken the first step towards the direction of up, you'll never want to be facing the direction of down again. You will be accomplished, feel good knowing you never gave up, be happy in life and have a willingness to help other people you know and love reach their goals because you understand how much more there is to life when you achieve your goals. You Gotta Want It.

Passion in Fitness-Being a Beachbody Coach

DECIDE. COMMIT. SUCCEED.

In 2008 as I was sitting on my computer scrolling through Craig's List for a job, I stumbled upon an ad posted giving the opportunity to become a Coach for Beachbody. Since I had been using Turbo Jam, a workout Beachbody sells created by fitness expert & trainer Chalene Johnson, and their nutrition products, I thought to myself "Oh my goodness, I didn't know Beachbody offered jobs!" My first inclination was to find out about it as fast as I could considering I was using Beachbody workouts and nutrition already. I picked up the phone and dialed the number given and came across a very informative coach for Beachbody, Elaina Sapperstein. She explained it to me, had me watch a few short video's and when I was done I was to call her back to let her know what I felt about it and if I was remotely interested. I did just that. It took one video for me to DECIDE that I was definitely interested and this is something I can do. 

What I saw in the video boosted my decision & I quickly arranged to meet up with Elaina and get rolling with this business asap. What I didn't realize is how much I was going to fall in love with this company and the drive behind it to help others become physically and financially fit, all while doing it for myself too. I was amazed that a company was so willing to help other people reach not only their fitness goals, but also reach financial freedom. Without hesitation when I met with Elaina I was in. I signed up as a Beachbody coach and was on my way to a journey I never thought actually existed. It was almost to me, like a fallacy. I always heard people say if you love what you do, its not a job. I didn't realize that actually existed until I found The Beachbody Coaching Opportunity. 

Opportunity. That is what this is. Opportunity knocks at your door only so often and its on us to recognize it and take action, or let it slip away into another person's hands. I decided to take action and I cannot reiterate enough to anyone what a genuine blessing this was. To further elaborate on that, after I had stumbled upon the Craig's List posting, the ad was flagged & removed immediately that same day by Craig's List. Had I not come across it when I did I cannot tell you whether or not I would be aware of this wonderful opportunity Carl Daikeler, CEO of Beachbody, has offered to anyone and everyone who wants to be a part of something huge. Not just for the physical part, but for helping others with a community of the most positive & uplifting people and to reach financial freedom as well. Little did I know how much I would LOVE helping others until I came across the same like-minded people that day. 

I have grown to know and love so many new people in this community of Beachbody Coaches and people who just want to help others reach success in their lives. I have been genuinely touched by the positive flow of inspiration, love, belief in others and the drive to really get as many people healthy as we can to bring their life back again. To see what health and fitness does for families and friends is truly an amazing feeling and the reward to us, are the people's lives we help change for the better every single day. 

As a coach, I am often asked what we do & why we are called coaches. To answer that, I will simply tell you this: We are coaches in that we use and love the products Beachbody has to offer. We have and are succeeding in using them and all we do is share that with others. Not all of us are fitness experts, but there are those of us who have taken it upon ourselves to learn absolutely everything we can about health & fitness to better help others when they come to us for help. We are a community of people who also, in turn, help eachother when needed. There is no selfishness what so ever and I can honestly say there is not one business out there that compares to the love and compassion that is within this Beachbody community of people. 

If you are interested in learning more and still have lingering questions, please feel free to let me know. I am here to help and I am excited to say that I can! My websites are listed below this blog and I look forward to helping you DECIDE, COMMIT and SUCCEED.
