There are SO many reasons to quit smoking … And NO good reasons to continue. I ran across this video on Doctor Oz’s website that illustrates what happens in your lungs when you breathe in cigarette smoke . . .
My friend, Joe Weaver, author of the book “The Tao of Quitting Smoking,” listed 100 Reasons to Quit Smoking. My top 10 from his list are here. You’ll also find links to his site and other quit smoking resources there and here.
It’s that time of year when we’re all thinking of New Year’s Resolutions. Some smoker’s just can’t see through their smoke. But, if you want to take a giant leap of health, stop smoking today. ARE YOU READY?
I’ve been very impressed with The Doctor Oz Show. I like his common sense approach to getting healthy and staying healthy. This morning’s show was no exception. Three women were guests on his show. They each lost over 100 pounds and kept it off. They found the “Secrets of the Skinny” that worked for them. And they’re willing to share those secrets with Doctor Oz and his audience. Here are the secrets . . .
Cravings Killers
Brown rice tortilla, lightly toasted (baked) with salsa or parmesan
A = Fresh green beans out of the garden
B = Frozen beans changed a little
C = Canned green beans cooked – A little altered
D = Processed
F = Grandma’s green bean casserole
Use cans of food as weights. Lift weights while watching TV
Work out with a weighted vest. The more weight you have on your body, the more calories you burn.
The women had words of wisdom for the audience:
Becky’s advice: “I changed the way I looked at food. Food became nutrition.”
Cari’s advice: “Start slow and stick with it. Make plans and hold yourself accountable. Definitely have support … Have supportive people around you.”
When Doctor Oz asked what kept her motivated, Caroline answered, “There’s no such thing as the impossible.”
I grew up in an entrepreneurial family. As newlyweds, my parents owned a mom and pop grocery store. Then, dad and 3 partners started a hydraulics manufacturing factory. When dad decided that a southern climate with less pollution would be better for our health, my parents bought a 50 unit motel along US 1 in Miami, Florida. By then, dad was also learning how to invest in the stock market.
So, when I needed to earn a living, starting my own business was a no brainer. After 5 years of working in an architect’s office, telemarketing for newspapers all over the country and getting a real education working for a small business owner who sold and serviced computer equipment, I was ready to enter the entrepreneurial world.
My first company was Vision Quest, a computer services business. I had a handful of regular clients who kept me busy. When they needed help, they needed it NOW! So, when I got a call, I had to drop everything, drive to their office and solve their problem. When I left town to take care of mom, who was no longer independent, I lost my clients and closed the business.
By then, network marketing found me. For 8 years, I was a rep with Excel Communications. They provided an alternative to AT&T’s high priced, long distance service. Gradually, other services were added: Pagers, Internet Service (ISP), local phone service, 2 way pagers and an online shopping mall. I loved the technology and thought I was smart to be in a service business, rather than products.
I couldn’t have been more wrong! Today, I have aShaklee business. I’ve been a distributor and social marketer for over 5 years. Because I work from home – Mostly online and on the phone – I’m able to take care of mom, too.
I direct market several product lines of all natural, organic and non-toxic products. And I’m building a team of health minded people who are entrepreneurs.
The more I learn about health, the more I love Shaklee. The products are top quality and priced competitively. And instead of a huge advertising budget, Shaklee pays distributors like me, a generous commission to find new customers and distributors.

Everything you do falls into one of three categories:
Bad Work
Good Work
Great Work
Can you tell the difference?
I think we all need to do some of the Bad Work – The mindless, never-ending tasks that take up at least part of our day. They need to be done, so you either have to do them, not do them or hire someone to do them. Things like routine office tasks, paying the bills, vacuuming and shopping.
The Good Work is productive and rewarding. It’s getting the job done. You can spend all day – Every day – Doing Good Work. There is a sense of accomplishment in doing Good Work, but, it’s not moving you forward.
Great Work is exciting and scary. It means stepping out of your comfort zone. THIS is where you want to spend your time. It’s where the great minds work.
Here’s a fast paced video that I highly recommend watching …

I’ve gone from green thumb to living green. After spending 20 years of summers out in the yard – planting flowers and vegetables, watering, weeding and reaping the harvest – I’m now going green with the realization that we need to take care of ourselves, our families and the earth. And I found a company to help me do it. I’m a Shaklee distributor.
So, now I’m into a more natural lifestyle. It didn’t happen overnight. It was a series of little changes that added up to a healthy lifestyle. And it doesn’t stop here. I continue to reevaluate and make little changes. Read the whole story.
