Happy New Year everyone! 2010, that’s a cool sounding year.  Let’s make it our best year ever. 

Now’s the time when we all make New Year Resolutions that most of us won’t keep past the end of this month.  I heard on the radio yesterday that although the Gym parking lots may be full now just give it awhile.  By the end of February the parking lots will be almost half as full and by the end of March well, they’ll be just about back to their core group.  We all start out with good intentions but most people will be in the same spot their in right now on December 31, 2010 – why is that?

It may be we aren’t really serious about our goals or we bite off more than we can honestly comment to.   And sometime we just need an accountability partner.

So, here’s a tip.  Write down where you would like to be on Dec 31, 2010 – it could be a location, something about you in your personal growth or appearance, it might even be regarding your finances, a home business, etc.  What ever it is, write it down.  Now, honestly think first is it a stretch but is it attainable.  If the answer is yes then think what steps do you need to take to reach your goal.  You have a whole year to take the necessary steps to reach your goal so make the steps easy.  You might take a calendar and mark it with certain steps for each month, this will help you stay on track and take targeted little bites to reach your goal.

Does it sound to simple?  Too many times we make reaching our goals to difficult.  Keep it easy.

So, give it some deep thought and make a pack with yourself that this year you are a success in achieving your goal(s).  Tell a friend or business partner so they can help keep you accountable.  Accountability is key.  You might even write down what will happen if you don’t meet your monthly goals, if you don’t like the answer use this to help keep you motivated.

Always dream and always reach for the stars!

Some causes of MRSA are our over use of antibiotics.  For years society has taken antibiotics for colds, flu, viral infections – the funny thing is antibiotics have no effect on these type of infections.  Antibiotics can also be found in our food and water.  In some cases even when antibiotics are used correctly the germ mutates.

So if you get MRSA what can you do?  Vancomycin is what doctors often rely on to treat MRSA, but some hospitals are already seeing various forms of MRSA that are less easily killed by vancomycin.   Did you know that 1/3 of the population are now carriers of MRSA in North America?  People with MRSA can get very painful boils and some treatments can cost up around $65,000 and still not treat the bacteria.

There is hope.  Equip yourself with our New Silver Solution and Silver Gel.  It kills MRSA.  There is no known mutation form that survives.

So why wait until you or someone you know comes down with MRSA.  Be prepared.  I’ve talked about the Silver before in the fact that our family takes it everyday and what it’s done for us, but I just can’t stress enough how everyone really needs to have these products on their shelf at all times.   Our New Silver Solution and Silver Gel, it sure does kill the bacteria.  It is our families’ first line of defense!  Make it yours!

You have to admire Sandy’s spirit.  Her sweet spirit was shinning ever so brightly during her interview.  Very inspiring!

It is a reminder for all of us to be mindful of our surroundings, who we let in our home, and to do what we can to watch out for our neighbors. 

Be careful out there this Christmas season.  Things are tough for a lot of people.  Be Kind, Be Aware, Be Helpful to those in need.  We love the Christmas season at our household, but remember the true meaning of Christmas is not about us or what we get.

Do you find yourself saying things like –

I’ll pay bills later…

I’ll call them after …

I’ll wash the dog this afternoon, but never do

I gotta clean my room, let me do this first then…

I’ll check the mail on my way back…

I’ll put this in the mail…

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve said one of the above.  For instance, I’m always saying “I’ll check the mail on the way back from the store.”, but when the time comes I tend to say “oh, I need to get this cold stuff home, I’ll check it on my way out”.  Its funny how at times my mail gets checked less then once a week.  Here’s another example, we went on vacation last week and I had to mail out a bill – instead of mailing it right then and there I thought I would just mail it on the way, do you think I did?  Your right if you guessed no, luckily I didn’t lose it and I did finally mail it when I got home.  But it is so easy for us to procrastinate and we don’t even realize that that’s what we’re doing.

Here’s a couple of things I’ve put into active practice that have been working –

1. First you have to reprogram your mind.  When that first objection pops up it’s ugly head catch yourself and say “not this time, I’m gonna just do it”  Try it, it feels good.
2. I hope you notice what I said above “active practice”.  You have to take action.  Think of it this way – I told you we went on vacation last week, if I never took action to plan our vacation we would never have gone on vacation – but we did and had a blast.  The same is true for those things you have listed on your to-do list.  So, instead of putting them off just take action.  Have a mental image of how you’ll feel at the end of the day when you can look back and see that your day wasn’t wasted.  Don’t waste your life – by the way that’s the title of a great book everyone should read.
3. Plan your day.  Start out by having a little to-do list.  Maybe you start with just 3-5 little things you want to accomplish for the day.  Put something fun, then list 2 or 3 things you might consider mundane, then finish with something fun. 
4. Make a mental note each time you find yourself wasting time.  I did this a few months back and I was amazed.  I love to stay up once everyone has gone to bed, I’m a night owl.  I started taking note of what I did and evaluated just how productive I was being.  I don’t know about you, but I have found myself saying on more than one occasion “I can get lots of stuff done at night”  Well, I busted that myth – I really wasn’t getting much done at all.  I found that by going to bed just a bit earlier and getting up earlier I actually got more done.  Test it out.
5. Also, we have what we call “15 minute drills”.  We’ll set an egg timer for 15 minutes, we pick a room, and clean like mad-men (just as fast as we can), like a game of “who can pick up more”.  Once the 15 minutes are up we stop and go on to something else.  It’s amazing how much you can get done when you race around for 15 minutes.
6. Turn the TV off!  Live life!

What do you do to break out of the procrastination mode?

Little did we know, that at age 2 1/2 she would be diagnosed Epileptic. Any of you familiar with Epilepsy know how trying it can be, needless to say we’ve had many occasions to sing Amazing Grace.

As I have been listening to the news, reflecting on the struggles most of us are having with the economy the way it is, and being inspired by a 12 year old boy who put others above himself by paving a way for handicap children to ride a train I wanted to share this song of great hope with you.

Here is a video of Chris Tomlin singing his version of Amazing Grace. And yes, for those who believe we have been set free.

I pray this song brings you a peace and opens up a world of amazing opportunities for you.

MRSA is not just contracted in hospitals anymore.  It’s in our schools, where we work, in our homes, it’s everywhere.  Why not protect yourself, especially when it’s so easy.    

I know I’ve mentioned the New Silver Solution before, but I’m telling you every household needs this product to protect themselves.  Don’t take my word for it read on…

The Former U.S. Air Force Surgeon General Paul K. Carlton, Jr. drafted a letter to the U.S. Depart. of Homeland Security recommending New Silver Solution stating “we currently do not have anything with such a wide spectrum of efficacy.

According to Science Digest Journal Silver is our mightiest germ fighter!   Think of the New Silver Solution as your shield.  It’s the first line of defense against vulnerable parts of the outside and inside of your body from contagious disease.  Help your family be safe today!
