Happy 2009 Everyone
I believe this is going to be a great year. I believe it is the year of new beginnings. We will see many changes over the next few months and we will emerge stonger than ever.
I had spent many years involved in the real estate industry, primarily working in escrow. In late 2007, my office was closed due to the downturn in the real estate market. After I was laid off, rather than feeling worried, anxious or upset, I found myself feeling liberated and alive. I had made the decision never to go back to this type of work and to take this opportunity to seek out what it was I really wanted to do. Over the years, I had been studying the healing arts, while on my spiritual journey. I became a certified hypnotist a couple of years ago and had began feeling more and more trapped in my job because I knew I was unhappy and I wasn't doing what I really loved doing. My office closing and subsequent lay off was a blessing in disguise. I suddenly felt so at peace and I wasn't at all worried about money or anything in my material world. I focused on getting my hypnotherapy business launched and was so happy to finally have the time to devote to it.
From all of the years in a very stressful job, my health had taken a bit of downturn and although I had been seeing a doctor, I now had to give that up because, for the first time in my life, I didn't have medical insurance. I was introduced to Sunrider and although I had intended to just smile and listen and not get involved with anything like this, I found myself becoming more and more interested in listening to the information and before I knew it, I had signed up and had received my first order of these amazing food products. I began eating the Sunrider foods in December 2007 because I was really feeling terrible by this time and I was getting very worried that something was really wrong with me. It was December 18, 2007 and I will never forget it because that was the day that I got my life back.
I knew within the first couple of days that something was different. I don't know how to explain the intense feeling of well being that I was experiencing, but I liked it. Within a month, I had noticed the pain that had been plaguing me in my feet, legs, hands and elbows was leaving my body and I could feel it leaving. It wasn't just that it wasn't there, I could feel it leaving! I was sleeping for the first time in years and waking up feeling rested and ready to go. I was losing weight around my middle and everything was changing. I was aware of everything from then on that I put in my body and everything in my environment that I didn't want in my life. I didn't realize how bad I had felt, until I started feeling great and then I knew how bad it had gotten. I had just learned to live with it and I had accepted it. I will never accept feeling poor health again because I know that I don't have to.
I know that the human body was designed to heal itself as long as we properly nourish, cleanse and balance it. I know that disease and degeneration is all caused from bad foods, environment and issues. I know that just because some things in our environment are out of our control, we can take steps toward protecting ourselves from these things.
I am the one who said I would "never" be a vegetarian.........because I love meat. I said I would "never" be a vegan because I love too many foods and could "never" limit myself like that and I also said I would "never" go back to working in the industry that I was in for so many years. Well, as they say..........NEVER say NEVER!! I am almost 100% raw foodist, which blows the vegans and vegetarians away. I haven't had coffee in over a year. I have had no red meat, pork, very little chicken and very little fish since I started on Sunrider. I don't desire these things, I don't crave them, I don't even think about them. I thought it would be a struggle, like withdrawals or something, especially with the coffee. I drink a pot of Calli tea every morning and since day one, I haven't wanted coffee.
You know, there is so much to say about Sunrider. It is a wonderful company, they sell amazing products, it has given me back my life, it can be a business opportunity if you are looking for one, and there are some amazing people with amazing stories involved in this company. My wish is that everyone would just try it and see for themselves. I can never imagine my life without my Sunrider. I love my foods for the taste, the convenience and how it makes me look and feel. The skin care line is awesome, too. All plant based, natural and organic products.
My side story is that I received a call this summer from a friend. She asked me if I would be interested in coming to work for her on a contract basis for 30 days. She is in the escrow business and they were inundated with auction-foreclosure transactions. I agreed to help her out. It was short-term, little to no committent and I told her that I wouldn't do more than 30 days. Well, I ended up staying for 7 months. Having been away from this work for more than 9 months, made me realize how stressful it really was and that it no longer fit into my life. It went against everything that I am about. I am about positive thinking and relaxation and gratitude, not to mention healthy eating and taking care of myself. This environment was filled with unhealthy, negative people. I had always known that there were a lot of this, but didn't realize the degree of it until I went back much more enlightened. I don't think I could name one person who had a nice thing to say about anything or anyone, not one person who was happy with their job or themselves or their lives in general. The majority of the people were overweight and they would order fast foods every day for lunch and wash it down with their sodas, after having cup after cup of coffee throughout the morning. They were eating from the vending machines. They would eat donuts, pastries, cakes, pies, bagels every morning. At the end of each month, the company would supply lunch. Most of the time it consisted of pizza, sodas and some desserts or they would bring in sandwiches made from cold cuts, chips, more sodas and of course, dessert. Everyone constantly complained about how tired they were, how their joints ached, how they didn't sleep last night, how their stomach hurt and they had diarreah and gas and blah, blah, blah........Do you see where I'm going with this? I heard this whining and griping day in and day out and watched them continue to do this.........and by the way, this was in between their smoking breaks! What an unpleasant, unhealthy life this is. I had to get out. I couldn't change them all and I couldn't take it any longer. The 7 months was way too long and had there been another opportunity sooner, I would not have stayed the 7 months. Yesterday was my last day. I am free. I plan to put together a free program and some day go back and present it to everyone and maybe as an outsider they will listen and they will save their own lives.
If you are interested in learning more about Sunrider or any of the things that I have mentioned here, please email me and I will be happy to get back with you. kmcdermott11@cox.net
