A great story - and wait until you see the photos!

The following is a great story along with some awesome photos sent to me by Rod Larkin about making a decision, sticking with it for months and months and you will see what happened to Rod and Danette.

Thanks to both of you for being tremendous examples.

When I joined Shaklee in 1979, what grabbed my attention and really got me involved were the stories I heard people share.  I was taught this--- if you really want to help people, you need to be willing to share your story, and keep sharing it, and keep sharing it, and keep sharing it because-- stories are what attract people, stories are what help to inspire, and stories are what help to motivate people. For 35 years now, that's what I've been doing-- sharing my story with others. 

 

I've had lots of stories to share-- why I joined, what attracted me to Shaklee, things I've done, stories of business success, and stories of success with the products.  Similarly, I grew up in a Christian home.  My dad was a pastor, as was my grandfather.  I remember as a child singing this song that many of you may recognize-- This Little Light Of Mine.  The whole song is about letting your light shine so others can see it and be helped by it.  The song is about sharing your story (don't hide it under a bushel basket) about what God has done for you--- with other people.  You are to let your light shine-- not keep it hidden.

 

I gave this bit of explanation so there is no misunderstanding of our intent of why we seem to "keep talking about ourselves" and our results with the Shaklee 180 program.  We share our story not to brag and not to boast-- no way.  This is our story-- one of many over the years, but it is our current story and by sharing our story with others, our goal is to help others transform their health, their appearance, and their lifestyle-- just like we've been able to do with the Shaklee 180 program.  We keep saying it-- If We Can Do It, Anyone Can.  It's true!  We were privy to all of the same reasons, excuses, bad habits, etc. etc. etc. that everyone has for being overweight and not doing something about it.  We get it.  We understand it.  That was us too.

 

Then one day--- we both reached our "Tipping Point" and that's what did it for us.  Until a person reaches his/her tipping point, it can be hard, if not impossible, to make the changes you need to be willing to make, no matter what it is you are wanting to accomplish.

 

All we can say is we are so glad we reached our tipping point when it came to our weight and our health, and Shaklee 180 was not only ready for us, but we were ready for it! 

 

If a picture is worth a thousand words as they say---- then here is our storybook of many chapters!
