From a baby boomer perspective
Today is Cyber Monday 2010. It’s been growing in popularity since 2005. This year will be no exception. Today we can all shop online til our fingers are numb or our credit cards are smokin’ – Whichever comes first.
Whether you’re looking for a Christmas present, Hanukkah gift or something special for a birthday or anniversary, Shaklee has something for everyone. Give the gift of health and take advantage of the Cyber Monday special.
Earth Day is April 22, 2009. Earth Day is the largest secular holiday in the world, celebrated by more than one billion people every year. Earth Day is April 22nd, but there will be events and celebrations all thru the month of April.
I’ll be participating with LightsOut Ohio by turning off my lights for at least one hour on Earth Day. This event is organized by the Sierra Club’s Portage Trail Group. Workplaces, schools and households are invited to join us by switching off non-essential lights for at least one hour on Earth Day. It’s a simple step toward making daily energy saving choices.
Earth Day Network has all the info you need to get involved. They coordinate all the Earth Day events worldwide. Making a few simple changes in your lifestyle can have a significant impact on the environment.
Living Green.
Simple things that make difference:
On Tuesday, January 20, 2009, Barack Obama will be sworn in as the 44th president of the United States. It’s always an historic event. Whether you voted for Barack Obama, John McCain, someone else or no one, Barack Obama will be OUR president. It’s time to put the campaign behind us and support Barack Obama.
The official website for the inauguration has information on the events of the day, including the luncheon menu and recipes. If you’re lucky enough to have a ticket, there’s maps, parking and other attendance details. The swearing in ceremony will be streaming live at the site on January 20th.
Mom and I were invited to a friend’s 50th birthday party hosted by her daughter. Everyone came in costumes. I’m not fond of costume parties, but I did my best. Mom dressed in black and red and wore a witch’s hat. I wanted her to take my cat, Cookie, as her black cat. Cookie would make a great witch’s cat. Her picture is at the top of the page. But, mom’s not fond of animals, so that was the end of that.
I wore my Shaklee tee shirt and carried a basket of Shaklee products. Every time I set the basket down, someone would add it to the pile of birthday gifts. So, I had to keep retrieving it. It wouldn’t have been much of a gift – The basket was filled with empty vitamin bottles and boxes! Otherwise, it would have been a TERRIFIC gift!
It was a wonderful party with friends I haven’t seen for a long time – and strangers that quickly became friends. And to top it all off, several people asked about Shaklee. It gave me the opportunity to tell them how much the products and the business have done for me.
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.
Going to antique stores isn't as much fun since I started saying "I used to have one of these."
