Don’t Wait for January to begin a New Year’s Resolution!

The trick in losing weight is getting past the life habits that keep us where we are physically.  Getting out of our daily routine and trading it for a healthier lifestyle is important and the primary reason it becomes overwhelming for most women.  The good news… weight-loss is the same for everyone!  It is the approach that has to be different.  Fun fact … approximately 83% of all pounds that melt away are about what you put in your mouth as food.  Join us at the Chain of Lakes Complex on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 6 p.m. or Saturday mornings at 9 a.m. to learn more about the “REAL LIFE” solutions to diet and weight-loss at Boxing For Life.

Jane Waters Thomas, owner will be celebrating her 10-year anniversary of “taking back my life” through weight-loss and fitness this February.  She lost 170 pounds and has successfully kept if off.  Let her show you how to do it, too.

OCTOBERFEST 2011 IN WINTER HAVEN

The taps were flowing and Band Haven was playing for an awesome night in the Park.  Beautiful Fraulein’s and lots of Herr’s sporting the typical gray or green alpine hats carrying their Butler Team mugs.  Great to see the town celebrating the season in October where you can party in public!  The Butler Team was there handing out mugs, pretzels, candy and raffling off a wonderful gift basket filled with German goodies.  I’m sure the lucky winner will be surprised when they receive their basket!  The Butler Team had a great evening and said we will be doing this again.  Auf Wiedersehn!

ARE YOU LISTENING ?

There is magic in being A Good listener. Next time you are working with a prospect, make a special effort to be a good listener. Give your prospect a chance to talk and tell you everything they   know and about themselves. You will be amazed how effective this simple but neglected courtesy can have on winning favor with your prospect. He is not quite sure why he enjoyed having you work with him but is looking forward to having you work for him . THE REASON IS, YOU LISTENED. You gave him that seldom opportunity to be heard. It’s a win- win situation. It’s gratifying to you in seeing him enjoying being heard ,he appreciates you and the rewards are unlimited for just sharing this simple but powerful act of courtesy. HAVE A GREAT DAY

The Big Pink Ribbon…..

What is your passion?  Is there a song that moves you….a worthwhile cause, or perhaps a hobby? 

Well, last Saturday, the passion of many was illustrated in the form of a huge Pink Ribbon.  A universal symbol of the fight against Breast Cancer.  Many citizens of Polk County and beyond, gathered together to combine their efforts in that monumental fight….to heighten awareness, to celebrate the survivors, to honor those who fought so valiantly but lost that fight.  There were many who selflessly organized the effort and many more who attended to show their support.  Regardless of the motives, everyone was there for one reason. 

It was a privilege to be even a minute part of this event.  I saw infants and elderly, men and women, children of every age.  There were many who were fighting the battle at that very moment and many who had fought and won.   I observed every race,  the healthy and the infirmed, the disabled…. there were no barriers to deter their goal.  There seemed to be no limitations of those who were afflicted and  for those who attended, their passion was their motivation!

The endless sea of pink shirts represented a people dedicated to eradicating this horrific disease.  But for every pink shirt, there was a face, many with tears in sharing their story.  For others, there was an unwavering determination reflected in their eyes…. and in the stories they shared, was that of a family member or a friend….whom they loved. 

In our eyes, we see a bright future ….a life without Breast Cancer!  What a beautiful day.
