My Shaklee story

Jan 23, 2017 Menifee, CA

Hopefully you were busy over the weekend too.  I went to the pool on Saturday and met some more people, it was a beautiful cold day but it stopped raining for afternoon so it was nice, the pool was a little cooler, I guess because of the rain.  This is so much fun and everybody has a story. 

Sunday, Jan. 22,2017

Bro.M and Sis.C came to get me for their Church again.  It poured down rain all day.  It is about the same weather they are having in Maryland and DC....so why did I go South? (Smile).  They had a meeting after church and I was able to fellowship with some nice ladies from the Church.  After the meeting we went out to lunch at a place where you could watch the football game and we saw Atlanta beat Green Bay, I try to root for the underdog.  We went back to their house and watched the other game so I know that Atlanta and New England will be in the Super Bowl, should be an interesting game.  They graciously took me by a grocery store and I got my groceries for the week.

I also had listened to a training video that helped me to re-write my Shaklee story.  I realized that I had a new one to add to the original one and I needed to get it together.  I will let you see it, if you have comments or corrections, please let me know.  I would like it to be compelling and effectively communicate my heart.

My Shaklee Story

My husband and I were introduced to Shaklee by my parents in 1974. They were in poor health, (Dad had heart trouble, arthritis, blind in one eye, and Mom had allergies and had to take shots 2X weekly and was 144 lbs over weight).  After 6 months of Shaklee product usage, Dad had an EKG done and no heart problems, no problems with his arthritis, and read a paragraph out of a newspaper with his "blind" eye.  Mom didn't need her shots anymore and over the next year she lost 144 lbs, on the Shaklee weight loss plan, and kept them off for the rest of her life.  From the time they shared Shaklee with us, for the next 25 years, they took no medication, traveling the world on Shaklee and with us, having a great time changing peoples health and lives (earning 11 Bonus cars, along with us) and building a Shaklee business.  Mom passed at age 89 and Dad at age 96 both in their right minds, they finished and went home to Jesus.

We were very excited about the results we saw in them and us, Floyd with more energy, arthritis gone, and me with increased energy, PMS issues diminished greatly and allergies relief with the use of the Shaklee products. We started sharing and others received results, they started sharing and they got results, etc....

That was when we decided to build a Shaklee business. After 2 years working our Shaklee business part time, we noticed three pay periods (every two weeks) of checks, from our jobs, lying around that we had forgotten to take to the bank (pretty good from living payday to payday before Shaklee!).  So we quit our "good Government" jobs, in Social Work, to work our Shaklee business full-time. We worked together for 38 years building and mentoring over 100 other leaders to success in our organization, to the point that we, and our first Business leader in our group, were recognized as Shaklee Millionaires.

In 2006, my husband became ill, and I was his caregiver for 6 years. We could not work our business; however, the Shaklee business wouldn't die. The residual income from the Shaklee business we had built, sustained us and the comfortable lifestyle we were accustomed to (which included payments of $1,100 per month for a 40 foot diesel motor home, and a house payment).

After fighting a good fight, my husband, finished his course, and went home to be with the Lord in 2012.  When he passed away, my income decreased, and over time, I experienced serious financial set-backs trying to keep things going, including returning the Motor Home back to the bank in a "voluntary repossession." The bank sold it at auction and came back on me for the difference of $74,000.

Through it all, I learned to trust God! I had no stress, anxiety or worry, knowing that the Lord would provide for me (even when I got down to my last 8 cents to my name!) AND HE DID!  Jesus is my peace, comfort and joy!  He loves me, has my best interest at heart, protects me, provides for me and HE KNOWS THE FUTURE!  What a deal!

In 2016, I decided to start over!  I sold my house and bought another Motor Home, just my size (31 ft)!  Now I am debt free, house free, and (40 years of) stuff free!   I am a full-time RV-er, traveling, at age 74, and loving it, just Jesus and me, and He is enough!

I am so blessed to have the Shaklee products in my life, I breezed through menopause with about 3 hot flashes and very few other symptoms, I am medication free, have reversed my bone density loss back (from 3 yrs ago)to 100%, and I feel great! I see so many people in my travels that are hurting financially and hurting in their health, minds and their bodies.  I have an answer, so I have renewed my activity and energy in sharing Shaklee again, as a means to help others to be healthy, and help them increase their income to be a blessing to others! 

I am excited about my future!  My vision is to reach 100 million people in my lifetime, with a way of independence from this "world's system".  I am thrilled with the opportunity to share what the Lord is doing for me, and to work and share my Shaklee business from "the road", is such a Blessing!

The life-long connections with people, over the years, have been amazing! I would encourage you to join me in making a difference in others lives.   I would love for you to join me and enjoy some of the benefits (health, car payments, free trips and income) that Shaklee has to offer! (The free trip is to China next year, whoopee!) In the 42 years I have been enjoying the Shaklee products, and sharing the products and the opportunity with others, I feel like I have just begun!

My desire is to Flourish to the Finish:  To grow luxuriantly, to thrive, to succeed, and be a remarkably significant example and inspiration for others to be healthy, (where no prescription medication is necessary) and help them see their God-given potential, and build a lifestyle of amazing possibilities, drawing others to greater heights, leaving a legacy for future generations to follow.  You too can Flourish to the Finish with me!

It is a mindset!
