When The Going Gets Tough...

Hey all.  Hope you're having a healthy and wealthy Monday.



You know I had to go there..LOL!!

 The going got tough for me today.  It almost turned into a manic Monday.  But I rose to the occasion and didn't let the haters, busybodies and the work obsessed people steal my joy.  Oh, they tried.  And they tried.  And they tried over and over again.  Let me tell you something I can officially verify first hand... IGNORANCE NEVER SLEEPS!! And here it is I thought money never slept!  Who knew!!?!?!!?

I woke up at 430am.  Got to work by 6:30am and the drama landed at my doorstep by 8am.  Here's the kicker ... I'd been gone for over a week... 10 days to be exact... and petty folks were still kicking up unnecessary nonsense that allegedly happened before I left.  I say allegedly because the foolish tale I was told was not what happened, but somone tried to drag my name in the mud, and prefaced the lie by saying -- "Not trying to get anyone into trouble .. but I had to tell my manager."  Well, if I were you, I'd want to tell my manager a truthful story.  And if I was uncertain of the facts because I didn't witness what actually went down, then I would either keep my mouth shut or ask the person directly (that would be me) about what really happened.  Good grief!  And to believe this incident involved people who are older than I am.  It's an adult game of "she said, that she said that they said .. uh, I think."

You know the old saying about what happens when you "ASSUME" something.  If you don't leave me a message on the blog and I'll get back to you.

So basically, my words of advice for you today are ...when the going gets tough - you get tougher.  Don't allow people to trample over your feelings and disrespect you.  But you also have to know how to pick and choose your battles.  You don't have to get indignent or belligerant.  Politely check them and put them in their place without causing a scene.  How do you do that?  Well, as my momma always told me, kill them with kindness.  Today, I'm telling you to love them for a lifetime.  I know, I know, it's tough, but somebody's gotta do it.  Might as well be you.

That's all today folks.  Trying to get back in the saddle after my vacation.  I'll have more for you in the near future.  In the meantime - drop me a note on how you're living healthy and wealthy.  I am so curious to hear what you're up to.

Peace!

Have a little faith

Loews Luxury Resort, Henderson, Nevada

Good Saturday Morning healthy and wealthy friends.  I'm here in beautiful Henderson, Nevada for a business conference with more than a thousand believers of the motto:  Your health is your wealth. - but I wanted you to know I hadn't forgotten about you.  And I wanted to give you a little piece of advice to help get you through whatever you may be experiencing.  That advice is:  Have a little faith. 

The Bible teaches us:  "...faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." (Heb:  11:1).  While I eventually want you to have SUPER-SIZED FAITH, for some of us, taking baby steps will one day lead to audacious faith.  Keep working toward you goals, believe in yourself and use your obstacles as stepping stones.  They are the building blocks of faith that will make you invincible in your thoughts and actions.

I'm pulling for you.  You are healthy - you are wealthy.  Now receive this and believe it is done!

Simply The Best

Happy Monday Peeps!!  I trust you are having a healthy and wealthy day.  And if you are not ... well, let's hop to it!  You still have roughly 7 hours to turn things around.  Now with that being said - let's keep in mind that whatever it is you do, are doing or are preparing to do - make sure you do simply the best job that you can.  NO EXCUSES!!!  Remember, you represent you - not the company for which you are doing the job.  So give your assignments, your tasks & your chores your all.  It'll make situations more bearable and you will be able to look yourself in the mirror and be proud.

As the icon Tina Turner sang ... "You're simply the best - better than all the rest!"  Don't forget it!

Your Attitude Determines Your Altitude

Hey there everyone!!  I hope you are experiencing a healthy and wealthy Saturday.  I was just sitting here on my couch, watching the Live Well Network, enjoying some nice baked apples with cinnamon and nutmeg and a hot cup of ganoderma coffee - when this thought hit me:  I really feel good today - mentally and physically - but most importantly, spiritually.

Now, there was nothing "tangible" that happened since waking up this morning - except that I woke up! Praise the Lord!  This to me is the greatest gift I could receive today - or any day for that matter.  But as I reflect on some the the events this past week - there were so many things that transpired that could have sent my attitude and morale into the depths of despair.  But you know what - I refuse to allow negative energy to control my life.

Yes, sometimes this is easier said than done.  But remember, you are in control.  My husband likes to live by his personal adage:  "Don't let anybody get into your head for free."  Being the bargain shopper in the family, I have another rule:  Free or not - if I don't want it - I'm not bringing it home!"  I also apply this to life's every day, unnecessary dramas - personal or work-related. 

Your attitude definitely determines your altitude (how you rise above situations).  It is your choice to be happy and to take everything in stride.  Spend a few minutes and assess how you've handled situations in the last few days - or even the last 24 hours.  Did someone or something get under your skin or disappoint you?  Was a co-worker rude or offensive?  Did you experience one of those pricey, unexpected incidentals that always seem to occur at the "best time ever"?  How did you allow it to affect you?  If you can't say the end result was positive or is being addressed in a spiritually appropriate manner - then you might want to go back to the drawing board and either fix the problem or pledge to diligently handle it better in the future. 

You always want to remain in control - even when those around you feel like they are running the show.  Don't let them steal your joy - nor you - theirs.  Several cooks can be in the kitchen - just so long as everyone stays on their side of the counter, handle their specialities and treat everyone with RESPECT.  But, when things get a bit messy - just take a deep breath, clear your mind - and tell yourself - "My attitude determines my altitude - and I am above all nonsense."

Keep living healthy and wealthy and we'll see each other at the top!

Turn Your Setbacks into Stepping Stones

Happy Wednesday everyone.  It's hump day - so you know what that means?  Less than 48-hours to your weekend freedom.  And if you're working this weekend ... you're still one day close to your upcoming days of relaxtion and freedom from work.  Eventually, we're all going to be able to get up and do what we want, when we want and go where you want - without asking for time off except for when you look in the mirror to say - "Hey there me, can I have some time off?"  Oh what a day that will be.  In the meantime, we're going to keep doing our thang - living healthy and wealthy.  Which, of course leads me today's topic: Turning setbacks into stepping stones.

You Must Realize Your So-called Setback Is A Set-up for Something Greater

Whenever a trial or tribulation pops up in our lives, we are sometimes too quick to throw in the towel or think the worst. My friends, if there's one piece of advice I can give you that holds true in any situation it's this: Everything is temporary. Once you get that drilled into your mind, your heart and your spirit, handling adverse situations becomes easier. Life is all about learning from our mistakes. If we never messed up, we'd never learn anything. We can have the greatest morals, education, ettiquette, athleticism, creativity and a level of sticktoitiveness like no one we know - but it alls means nothing if you aren't growing and expanding your repetoire or sharing your experiences with others. I don't care how intelligent you are. It means nothing if you keep it all to yourself because you're too afraid to step out on faith and test the waters

Peter had to learn how to trust Jesus - Matthew 14: 22-31



We've all heard the saying when one door closes, another one opens.  I don't know if you realize just how true this is.  Think back to any adverse situation you experienced.  Is your life the same as it was prior to, during and after the trial period?  Whether you're in a better place or not, I am sure you've learned a lesson.  Therefore that setback was actually your set-up for something greater.  You may not be where you want to be in life, but you are not where you used to be.  Even if the past seemed greater, you apparently needed some polishing.  Just like a diamond in the rough.  Your brilliance is preparing to shine for all to see.  But what matters most is that you see it in yourself.  And then help others open their eyes to their light.

So, in conclusion, gather up all of your stones of adversity and start paving your road to living healthy and wealthy.  There's nothing holding you back from destiny but you.

You Get What You Pay For

You undoubtedly have heard the saying "you get what you pay for."  And if you haven't learned that lesson, let me help you out - cut your loses while you're ahead and "pay" attention - if you have a problem paying for quality.

Everyone loves a good deal, but going cheap at the expense of your health, home or sanity is just plain stupid. It always baffles me when someone would rather go without just to save a few pennies in these areas - particularly when it comes to health.



 Here are a five cheap tricks that will actually cost you more in the end.

Overspending on bulk purchases to cut the grocery bill
"One of the biggest mistakes people make (buying in bulk) is that they think they'll use something up, but they end up throwing most of it away," Parker Hurlburt, vice president of research for Acosta explains.

"The other mistake is that they don't compare sale prices to bulk prices."

Other cons include membership fees to bulk outlets, overspending and finding a place for all that stuff.



Skipping the dentist (and other health visits) to pocket the co-pay

Skipped your date with the dentist because you couldn't bear the co-pay? Not smart.

A recent Consumer Reports survey found 43 percent of respondents did just that, exacerbating their

health problems and leading to hefty medical bills.

To curb the pain in your mouth and wallet, shop around for a bargain, consider visiting free and low-cost clinics, or check out a local dental and hygienist school for free or discounted care.

Splurging on daily deals to feel thrifty
Daily deals don't last forever, and as Your Money reporter/reformed Groupon addict Mandi Woodruff attests, "after I dropped the ball on five of the suckers, I decided to wean myself off."

Yes, there are ways to salvage expired daily deals—read how 8 Groupon die-hards did it here—but if they aren't time sensitive enough for you to remember to use them, you're basically flushing money down the drain.


Overpaying for extended warranties

"The cost-effectiveness of extended warranties is minimal and simply put, they're generally a bad idea," says Schrage.

In fact, retailers typically enjoy a greater gross profit on the extended warranty than they do on the product they're selling.

Standard warranties should be just enough to get you by.

On the flipside, if your PC or laptop breaks down, forgoing the extra $50 or $100 could cost you hundreds for wear and tear.

Shirking your pet's health to beat the vet bill
Possibly the dumbest mistake petowners can make is not coughing up cash for their pet's preventative care. Avoid the heartache—and cost—of an ER visit by brushing your pet's teeth, splurging on the healthier, vet-recommended food and following up on routine check-ups.

Your pet's life depends on it.




So what have we learned here today?  Don't cut corners when it comes to your or your family's ultimate well-being. Tighten the belt when it comes to the unnecessary - but it seems so necessary splurges - like entertainment, those cute shoes and purses you just have to have (preaching to the choir here) - a pricey meal or two or three - (you get the picture).  It's not healthy or wealthy living.  And we're in this game to win.  And will will avoid and fight-off any potential setbacks that are in our control.
