Club de Madres Exitosas

Con mucho orgullo y cariño, quiero compartir con usted, nuestro querido lector, que hemos creado un club totalmente en español llamado El Club de Madres Exitosas, el cual lleva poco tiempo funcionando pero promete mucho.
Debido a que veo mucha información disponible en el idioma anglo-sajón, pero no suficiente en nuestra lengua, es que nace la idea de crear este club. El propósito fundamental del club es compartir historias de éxito de mujeres dueñas de sus negocios, madres que manejan un negocio desde la comodidad de su hogar pero no descuida su rol como madre, como esposa. Así mismo quiero compartir reportes de salud, temas que conciernen a la salud femenina, presentaciones en nuestra área local.
Todos los sábados por la tarde contaremos con temas nuevos y con la traducción de nuestro Project MAHMA el cual se lleva a cabo en las mañanas a las 11 a.m. hora del este. También contaremos con blogs dentro del club, totalmente en español, pero lo importante no es que publico o no, sino el que usted querido lector lo comparta, así como Ud. comparte una película con su familia y amigos, pues así debe compartir esta información que está disponible para ustedes y sin costo alguno. De que sirve tener una información valiosa sino se comparte.
Espero recibir sus preguntas o dudas en mi club y serán contestadas en la brevedad posible. http://mipagina.univison.com/clubdemadresexitosas

February 2010 ~ Issue 26

Welcome to The Gazette Ezine, free monthly newsletter of Franfort Distributors Group –

Shaklee Independent Distributors. The Gazette is always full of beautiful hues. However, my letter this month focuses on one color: red, the signature hue of The American Heart Association and the Chinese New Year.

Our special feature on Healthier You is a mini-guide to create a healthier lifestyle and it will talk about Shaklee’s Heart supplements, and how they can change your life! References will be available and even an email address from Shaklee’s Scientists.

This year is the year of the tiger and in the segment “New and Noteworthy” my very good friend, a loyal Shaklee customer, aroma therapist and Feng Shui practitioner, Ms. Gina Gunsolley, will talk about What the Chinese New Year is all about and the meaning of the year of the tiger (Chinese New Year is on February 14).

I’ve been celebrating the Chinese New Year for 6 years now and I should say it’s a very religious event, full of customs and traditions as well as happiness and hope for a better year. Every year I go to Chinatown in New York City and I visit the Buddha’s temple located on Mott Street. Certain foods are eaten during the last day of the Chinese New Year celebration. Also certain things that must be already done such as one day for cleaning the house, one day to mop the floor, one day to get rid of the things you not longer utilize and so on.

Debts are best paid off (it used to be customary for employees to receive a bonus towards the end). In addition, all arguments and worries should be resolved lest they influence the good luck of the coming year. Traditionally, a grand fest including carp or salmon, cabbage and oranges is eaten for good luck.

Wishes and resolutions are always made for the New Year. In China, New Year’s Day is everyone’s birthday and the Chinese people customarily calculate their ages not from their actual birthday but from New Year’s Day of the year in which they were born.

Pictures and videos of the Chinese New Year will be available on Facebook, Univison and of course, in the next edition of The Gazette Ezine, I will dedicate a segment to this magnificent event. I hope you’ll enjoy all the colors in this issue and its contents

Until next month, warm regards

Cinch Success Story

Abigail , 44 lbs healthier
"If I can help at least one person feel the confidence I feel now, then I have truly been rewarded." Abigail says.

Abigail's weight problems started when she was a child. She says "I started gaining

weight in elementary school. By the end of my senior year in High School, I weighed over 200 pounds and could not fit into my size 20 school uniform". The summer after Abigail graduated, she decided she needed a healthier lifestyle. Abigail remembers "One of my Mom's friends had been on the Cinch Inch Loss Plan™ and looked great. I weighed 224 lbs and was heading off to college. It was time for a new beginning, so I decided to start my own Cinch journey".

Abigail started college with a major in Fashion Merchandising. She says "As a 'fashionista' I would dream of wearing the type of clothing that all my fit friends wore from specialty clothing stores". Abigail has made great progress towards that dream. Instead of gaining the typical "freshman 15", she actually lost weight in her first year at college. She says "I have lost 44 lbs, and more than 20 inches*. I can now walk into the cute boutiques and know that I will fit into the fashionable clothes".

Abigail likes Cinch for the learning experience, as well as for the weight loss. "The Cinch Plan taught me how to see the way I eat from a different viewpoint, and how to live a healthy lifestyle. Those are things that will stick with me forever". Her outlook on life has changed for the better, too. "I have never been happier, and I finally have self-confidence".

Abigail thanks an amazing support system for her success. She says "Thank you Mom, Dad, and Grandma for always Sbeing with me and encouraging me to continue this journey of weight loss." She is also ready to help others, and shares her Cinch story when people ask about her weight loss. "If I can help at least one person feel the confidence I feel now, then I have truly been rewarded".

Dr. McManus will talk about women’s issues such as stress management, exercise, weight control, diets and supplementations. Watch an important video on get healthy and stay healthy at whatever stage of life. Osteoporosis and hormonal balance will be also discussed in this video.
The Shaklee-wide woman to woman initiative is a way for women to invite new people to focus on and to share the Shaklee message. An opportunity to reach out to Organizations and large venues of women’s organizations to reach a broader group of people. This is not exclusively for women, men are certainly invited and their support is encouraged.

Chistopher Gavigan, CEO & Executive Director of Healthy Child Healthy World introduces an interest topic for us on Healthy Environments for Children, Easy Steps for homes, child care centers and schools. Be aware of invisible threats of toxins and chemicals that put child development in danger.
Healthy Child Healthy World’s mission is to protect the health and wellbeing of children from harmful environmental exposures by educating parents and engaging communities to make responsible decisions.

Over 80,000 chemicals are registered for use in products we use everyday. No pre-market safety testing required under any federal law for chemicals in cosmetics toys, clothing, carpets and construction materials to name a few. More than 80% have not been tested for health effects on children. None have been tested for their health effects when they interact with one another. Childhood cancer rates jumped 26% between 1975 and 1998. The number of children in special education programs increased 191% from 1977 to 1994. Childhood asthma rates increased 100% between 1980 and 1995. Our health is the result of complex interactions among genetic, environmental and social factors. Toxic exposures deserve special attention because they are presentable causes of harm.

In honor of Colette Chuda, who inspires us to continue to work to create a healthier life for children now an in the future. Colette Chuda was just five years old when she died of a rare, non-genetic form of cancer. Out of this tragedy, her parents Nancy and James founded Healthy Child Healthy World in 1992.
