The Healthy Christmas Snack
Protein Balls
Prep Time: 30 minutes (15 minutes to mix, 15 minutes to roll into balls)
Basic Ingredients:
1 c. Natural Peanut Butter
1 c. Honey
1 c. Shaklee protein powder (cocoa protein powder makes the balls especially yummy)
Add-In Ingredients (4 cups total, create your own combination!):
Sunflower seeds
Peanuts
Chocolate chips
Granola
Oatmeal
Raisins
Dried cranberries
Oat bran
Wheat germ
Flax seed (ground or whole)
Directions:
Mix together the basic ingredients in a large bowl: peanut butter, honey, and protein powder. Add 4 cups total of the add-in ingredients. (Peanuts, oatmeal, and chocolate chips are a delicious classic.)
The more dry ingredients you add, the stiffer the mixture gets. You want the protein balls to stick together when you roll them, but you don’t want them to be so sticky that they won’t hold shape. Add more oatmeal, wheat germ, or oat bran if your mixture is too goopy. Add more honey if your mixture is too dry.
Roll the mixture into balls about 1 inch in diameter. This is the tedious part—so get the kids involved! Refrigerate the balls (or freeze any extra). You can stack them in Tupperware and separate the layers with waxed paper.

One of the great benefits of a Shaklee Business is the personal developement your recieve. When I read this message this morning from Gary Burke it reminded me of something I heard when I first started in the business. "Whatever you do DON'T QUIT" over the years I've gotten so many phone calls from past distributors who did quit and tell me how they regret their past decision.
Go for it....No regrets!~by Gary Burke
I received the following statement (in quotes) about regrets a few days ago and I've read it several times and it has made me think. It's really quite a strong statement about the choices we make as people.
"Regrets are a result from poor choices made on decisions based on temptation, doubt, fear, frustration and anger."
I think one reason I have given this some thought is I can remember some of the early times while building our Shaklee business when I would get frustrated because it just didn't seem to be growing as fast as I wanted it to. All kinds of thoughts would start coming to mind and most of them were negative. Wondering if this Shaklee opportunity would really work for us the way it did for others we heard about and saw at various meetings.
Wonder, doubt, temptation to quit, and most of all frustration. As I think back though, the issue really was about me and not the opportunity. I expected more than my skills could deliver. I had to learn the HOW TO's.......How to prospect effectively....getting appointments....telling the Shaklee story....understanding the compensation plan....I had to develop certain skills.
I'm a competitive guy. Always have been. I loved the competition of athletics and that is what would eventually win over all the frustration and/or doubtful thinking. Every team I was ever on, the coach always talked about fundamentals, working hard and having a great attitude, and above all "you never want to quit."
I was not going to quit. I wanted what the Shaklee opportunity offered and I knew if others could build successfully, so could I. I just refused to live a life of regret.
No one ever fails at building a Shaklee business. But many quit! Many people make decisions based on frustration, doubt, and other negative thoughts. Don't allow it to happen to you. Work hard and develop the skills you need to make Shaklee work for you. If you do I know this....You will never, ever regret hanging in there tough, you'll never, ever regret sticking with it, you'll never regret the effort it takes to develop the skills you need.
Work hard. Put in the effort it requires. Smile! Laugh! Have fun! Go for it! No regrets! Don't ever give up........Never give up!
As a Kansas farmers daughter I have certain values drilled into my head. I'm sure you do too. Values about what you perceive to be right or wrong.. I think all of us do, that's one reason when we pay attention to what's happening in America today it upsets us so much. Word of advise... if you have no way of controlling and changing the situation YOU MUST LET IT GO! I'm saying that for your own health OK?
Next you must do what is necessary to protect your body from the Damaging Effects of Stress. The following link is a short informative recording about how the body reacts during stress and what we can do to limit the effects of stress on our body. RECORDING CLICK HERE
If effects of today's world comes back to haunt your personal or business world, you must take the bull by the horns and do what it takes to make the situation have as little effect on your life as possible. One thing I know for sure we all were born into this world and we all someday will die. It's what happens in between that we can do something about.
To a healthy successful journey,
Cindy

It's a fact of life stress plays a major role on our emotions, physical and mental well being. Heck if you have turned on the news lately that's enough to stress about anybody out! So what do we do when stress factors keep hitting us square in the face? I know at first blush this may be hard to do but you MUST.... Shut down and put out of your mind what is stressing you out if only for an hour. You must give your mind & body time to adjust, and workout a strategic plan. Many times it's not the situation, but it's how we react to a situation that causes so much stress it can be detrimental to your health.

When I saw this video I knew you should see it too... Dancing brings out so many creative ideas for me I hope it moves you the same way. Isn't it wonderful it is to be vibrant and healthy like the dancers in this video.
My feet are still tapping. Are you ready to go dancing too? Lets be honest.. Nothing is more important than your health. As I shared in my last message to you our mind plays an important role in our health.
A perfect example is a story about Fred who went in for a routine exam. Now Fred is 75 years young and has never been sick a day in his life, but due to constant nagging from his wife who may as well live in the doctors office he went.
When routine blood work came back with a elevated PSA that's when all havoc broke loose. The doctor recommended he go in for a bioposy and his wife insisted too. Unfortunately the local hospital running the test couldn't get Fred in right away.
The earliest possible appointment wasn't for 6 weeks. Fred went home and started worrying what the biopsy would show. He went from an active 75 yr old who was an active gardener, to basically and feeble old man would could barely get up to sit in front of the television. When the day of the biopsy rolled around Fred looked like someone had just handed him a death warrant.
Fortunately Fred came through the biopsy surgery OK, but you could tell he still had the worry deep down of what test results would show. When test came back normal it was like Fred had gotten a new lease on life. He got home put his work clothes on and got busy living life again. I don't know how many folks have gone through what Fred did, but I do know it doesn't have to be like this.
Just recently New England Journal of Medicine concluded that screening for prostate cancer has little or no effect in prolonging men’s lives, and the risks posed by unnecessary treatment may outweigh the benefits of early detection. Imagine that!
In conclusion I encourage you to surround yourself with what makes you happy in life.... Such as this video that makes you feel like dancing too.
Don't ignore your health but feed your body with nutrients proven to support long term health... Such as Vitalizer

The Facts and tests are in Resveratrol is indeed a breakthrough ingredient in our liquid supplement. In fact our liquid supplement is so much more powerful than taking resveratrol alone.
Resveratrol has wonderful anti-aging antioxidant properities. Imagine this it's an ingredient in red wine!
Reserveratrol is most abundant in the skins of red grapes used to make red wine. It slows the buildup of platelets in blood vessels, making them less sticky. This improves the blod flow. Resveratrol can slow the growth of cancer, stimulate your immune system, lower inflammation and act as a powerful antioxidant.
Researchers and MD Anderson Cancer Center in Huston show resveratrol blocks prostrate cancer at every stage. It helps more than a dozen different anticancer mechanisms in your body. What's more, resveratrol targets cancer cells selectively. It's toxic to cancer cells but doesn't harm healthy cells. It also modulates hormones; stops cancer cells from multiplying and can actually destroy cancer cells.
Resveratrol may add years to your life, too. studies using bother mice and yeast show resveratrol turns on a gene that stimulates a protein called SIRT. The greater activity of SIRT, the greater the life span of yeast and mice. It turns out that humans can also activate the SIRT protein with resveratrol.
The newest round of studies from the Instute of Genetics, Molecular and Cellulary Biology in France found resveratrol, helped mice run twice as far during excercise. It helped muscles produce more energy, reduced their heart rate and gave them endurance the researchers compared to trained athletes.
What's more, resveratrol protected mice from gaining weight and developing the symptoms of diabetes and obesity. The benefits included in improved sensitivity to insulin, which is the key to maintaing ideal weight and avoiding diabetes.
So... resveratrol is becoming a 'wonder natural compound' it's powers include:
+ Anti-fungal, anti-yeast, anti-viral
+ Antioxident - promotes glutethone
+ Increases longevity
+ Protects against heart disease, Alzheimer's and type 2 Diabetes
+ Anti-inflammatory
+ Protects DNA, stimulates repair of genes
+ Protects against cancer
+ Kills cancer cells Prevents metastasis
+ Aids Chemotherapy results, while protecting healthy cells
I've got a secret to share with ya... Now you can benefit from the latest anti-aging research. It's my latest Barefoot Secret.

The problems we are faced with in a down economy is all over CNN, BBC, FOX News ...have been releasing reports daily of market turmoil, multiple bank failures, soaring foreclosures, and skyrocketing unemployment.
Every one of us has witnessed or is feeling the harsh effects on our economy in one way or another.
To make matters worse, business owners, top professionals in the mortgage business, real estate and insurance business are struggling financially and are facing a major crisis.
As a small business entrepreneur we must seek out solutions. We must not only shift gears in the midst of a downturn, but also shift our energy to stay out of fear mode, which is even more important — and tougher to do.
In Tough Times, Tackle Anxiety First
Here's a simple six-step program for “shifting yourself out of fear-based operating mode and getting back on track towards success.”
The first step, is to confess that you are, in fact, afraid. Stress, worry and apprehension are all elements of fear. I admit it is scary right now being in business, but that is what entrepreneurship is all about.
The second step is to respond to that fear with calm deliberation rather than rash acts that may push your businesses into deeper trouble.
The third is for small businesses to refocus their efforts on things they can excell in.
The fourth is to “reframe the story” by looking for new opportunities in difficult times.
The fifth is for entrepreneurs to maintain a balance between their work and personal lives.
The sixth is to seek out a critic who will give unvarnished feedback about potential blind spots.
Did you know that while the majority of folks in America are fighting for survival a privileged few are building a steady, stable, strong business? These folks know something that you don't.
They aren't jumping on the latest greatest thing since sliced bread. (rash acts) These folks are maintaining the calm deliberation, reframing by looking for real honest opportunities and taking advise that goes to the heart of the matter. Don't Panic!
I want to share this short video from the CEO of Shaklee, Roger Barnett giving an explaination of why he launched the latest incentive called "The Power of 10"
Bottomline..our Business Franchise Online offers REAL opportunities for REAL people.

P.S. How would you like to feel WAY Younger and Live WAY Longer? Barefoot Anti-Aging Blog
In the next few minutes you will discover why it's very important to strive to have options when it comes to wether or not to put your kids in daycare.
Nineteen month old little Jayce had been on a waiting list for "Learn and Grow Depot" for several months, finally last week the day came when he was able to start. Now this isn't just any day care, this one was regulated by the state, ran by the hospital, in a brand new building, included cooks, director, "trained" teachers with video cameras throughout. In our small rural town it "looked" like the best choice. Little Jayce had been spending his day's with me on the farm, most would think that is ideal situation but I could see he needed interaction with other kids not just animals.
Jayce's first day at the "new daycare" seemed to go fairly well. By watching the video cameras I could tell he was very well behaved, but didn't have lots of interaction with the other kids execpt for an flirting smile to a couple of little girls. Imagine that!
At 9 PM that evening the Learn and Grow Depot was offically closed! There were over 100 kid's parents scrambling to take off work or find other daycare options for the next day. By 12 noon it was on the KWCH (Wichita 1 1/2 drive from us) News. The report from the Kansas Dept. of Health and Environment is un-settling to say the least! KDHE Report
This is a terrible situation that may have never been caught if it weren't for today's technology. Think about how many kids in this world who aren't in a daycare with video cameras.
Little Jayce is back with me on the farm until a more suitable "day play group" is found. I know Jayce is one of the lucky ones, because chances are he will never go into a daycare full-time, for him it will be to interact with others his own age.
So what are the benefits of having your own home business? For me one BIG benefit is to have the ability to make the difference in the life of a child.

Happiness is an attribute of love; therefore, you can never be happy until you give your love to others. Let your emotion of love warm the heart of someone and see an ample supply of happiness reflected upon you. A selfish person may depend on gaining possessions to bring happiness, but soon will find that such possessions reflect only their own selfish thoughts.
Sow the Seeds of Happiness in Others, and You Will reap A Joyful Harvest.

To gain happiness, you must discover and enjoy what you have. It is not how much you have. It is what we THINK about how much we have which produces happiness. In building a happy contented life you must give happiness to others. No one living for himself will ever be contented.
Your happiness is reflected upon you through service you give to others.... and the thought you give to the creation of happiness will attract a happniess-service from others.
Start creating happiness-habit by producing happy love filled thoughts.
"As a man thinketh in his heart so is he."
When I discovered the company in this short video my level of happiness grew much stronger. I feel it's because the values align so closely with who I am. I feel a close parallel between my business "Barefoot in the Garden" and the philosophy "created by nature."
What values do you align with?

You know I LOVE twitter, but over the last week I have seen a sense of panic, mostly because I have been focusing on a target market that isn't currently a small business owner. There is so much education to be done for some of these poor souls or at least they think they are poor because the media tells them how bad it is.
I've got "NEWS" for you just because the media paints a doom and gloom picture it doesn't have to be like that. Let's face it. Doom and gloom sells. Look at 911 how many people (including me) were glued to the TV watching and listening. Remember the year 2000 scare when all electronic data was going to be wiped out? Did it happen? NO... Did some people take advantage of it a make a boat load? YES
It amazes me these predictors are not held accountable for their stupidity when the bad things DON’T come to pass. Sadly, I’ve found that some of the greatest tragedies I’ve seen in my life, like 9/11, Huricane Katrina, and earth quakes, tsunamis, and other disasters were not predicted or prevented in any real way at all.
Any thinking person understands depressions, natural disasters, war, and more... does happen and that is unfortunately a part of life as we know it. But the media doesn’t want you to ‘think’… they want you to be afraid and dependant and turn to them for ‘comfort’ day in and day out (bad, bad idea… they never report ‘good news’). To my knowledge, worrying about such events has not prevented any of them!
Action and imagination solve problems a whole lot better than ‘worrying’.
After all…
Napoleon Hill didn’t write, ‘Worry and Grow Rich’, did he?
However, the doomsayers predict doom almost every day it and the media seems eerily cheerful in reporting on anything negative that happens around the world in real time, 24 hours a day year round. What is missing is perspective.
Miracles, recovery, healing, new discoveries, massive profits, enlightenment, giving, growth, birth, beauty and joy are ALSO happening every day around the world.
But you’d never know about it if you rely on the NEWS media for your view of reality.
If you want to profit from these times, let McCain, Obama, the stock market, real estate woes and the nattering ninnies in Congress shuffle papers around to their hearts content. And ignore them. If you have real estate problems or stock troubles, educate yourself on how to best deal with those issues. Tell yourself over and over.. "If it is to be it's up to me" Don't rely on anyone to bail you out!
Don’t envy or resent the ‘rich’, join them! The Money is still right under our noses. In fact this "recession" will produce more billionaires than ever before. (Some people are THRILLED to see it coming) Stocks and Real Estate will be bought at rock bottom prices. (Only to be sold for massive profits in a few short years) Advertising for your business will be much cheaper, because there won't be the competition from the nervous nellies.

Online Training: What do guineas, fleas, and ticks have to do with web conference rooms?
When you live on a farm in Kansas sometimes your suroundings come through in the web conferencing recording. You will get the short story in this web conferencing recording.
I decided to save this web conference online training and load the whole file up to my server. Not that it's necessarly the best online training I've done, in fact when I re-listened to the recording I just about didn't post it.
There is time during this training that my guineas start making so much noise that I have to stop the training and close the window! If you don't mind hearing real world day to day things that happen on our farm in Kansas then this is a must listen to training.
Here is the link: http://www.barefoot-in-the-garden.com/R/cindy422/index.htm
Just so you know this recording is un-edited and everyone who was in the class text chats show so it's really pretty much like being live in web conference. In this recording I cover most of the basic features of VereConference how to use the screen casting, basic recording features, locking the room etc.
For the perfectionists watching this recording I realize I didn't have the back drop of my screen casting exactly perfect but decided to post the recording anyway. Most of you who have been to my trainings know I'm really picky about that stuff. Please overlook the imperfections to learn what this amazing web conferencing system can do for your business.
btw... as I write this our guineas are up letting their presence be known again this morning.

In the next few minutes you are going to learn why I'm so passionate about the products and give you some insider information about the trends we see happening.
Did you know our company was the #1 natural nutritional company in USA? My hottest selling product is one of the first products our company made over 50 years ago. It's an Herbal laxative. It actually works kind of like a toothbrush on your intestines scrubbing them from the inside out. Did you know that the average americian carries around 20 LBS of waste in their intestines? They do... Actually this product works as a normalizer not and laxative like most people assume.
Don't be okay with feeling just okay. If you're like nine out of 10 Americans, you don't eat enough fruits and vegetables, which can really affect your health down the line. That's a great reason to supplement what you eat. But the important question is, how do you feel
today? Your answer should be nothing short of fantastic. Watch this short video that explains the secret to great health and vitality.

How Veretekk is works to build your business with Social Networking
Last night in our weekly web conference I had someone ask me have you ever brought someone into the business through social networking? With out having Veretekk as a tool it would be next to impossible to build the relationships I've built in Social Networking.
This morning as I was doing my usual social networking follow up, I glanced at the string of messages a new facebook contact and I have had this week and thought, this is it!
This is the perfect lesson to show you exactly how social networking using Veretekk works! Again my hats off to Tom Prendergast and Mike Darling for putting together an awesome neutral system we can use to build online social relationships with.
Apparently Peggy found my profile on facebook and requested to be my friend, I replied with a short note saying "Thank you for the add" .. here was her reply...

It's done so much for my business I can't explain in a short message. I do have a testimonial at: http://quikonnex.com/channel/item/31948

Peggy in my business everything I do online leads back into *****. Yes I have multiple streams of income coming into my business, but it's the primary business income that will be passed down to my kids and future generations.
It's the ****** income that comes in month after month from customers purchasing the products from my website wether I'm working or not.
THAT'S how it done! Social Networking is all about building relationships and communication. Sometimes it's in the form of text messages.. such is the case in Twitter. or.. sometimes it's in the form of private email messages like this example... and sometimes it leads to a phone conversation, but not always.
Others are mirrors of your own self-image. You will be drawn to others for the positive qualities you believe exist within you. In a similar way you will tend to hate others who reflect back to you those qualities you fear most in yourself. You already have th answers to life's questions. All you need to do is look, listen within, and trust your intuitive powers.

I think Amway is going on 50 years too. Our neighbor is one of the top dogs in Amway, he has built a "retirement" house 2 miles from his "mansion" all within a mile from us.. the "mansion" that includes a conference center is up for sale to the tune of 2.5 million.. so the neighbors say! Everyone wonders who they will get in our little rural community to purchase! I'm thinking possible a business of some kind. It was built on a golf course and is beautiful.

Okay, Veretekk. How different is it from Cutting Edge Media and other leads generation systems? How much does it cost per month, etc.
Thank you for introducing it to me - I look forward to hearing/learning more about it.
Yes I am also in NWM or MLM or whatever the latest word for it is! lol I gather you still market ****** as well as doing your internet business?
Take care
Until next time

Today at 6:21am
Hi Peggy,
Veretekk is very different from Cutting Edge Media... In Veretekk you are taught how to generate your own leads. NOT purchase leads. BIG DIFFERENCE.
In Veretekk you can sign up for free and take a test drive see how the system works... it's not just a limited trial either. You can continue a silver freee membership forever if you want too.
Yes they do have 2 other levels of membership. The gold membership is 41.95 per month and coming soon is the Platinum.
When I first looked at Veretekk I saw the power of having your own lead capture pages offering stuff for freee and a I also saw the affiliate program and soon learned I could have a cost free marketing system.
Personally Veretekk brings in nice checks every month paying for my marketing costs. It can do the same for you too if you want it too.
Take Care,

The 80/20 Rule is one of the most helpful of all concepts of time and life management. It is also called the Pareto Principle after its founder, the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, who first wrote about it in 1895. Pareto noticed that people in his society seemed to divide naturally into what he called the "vital few," the top 20% in terms of money and influence, and the "trivial many," the bottom 80%.
Pareto later discovered that virtually all economic activity was subject to this his Principle as well. For example, this rule says that 20% of your activities will account for 80% of your results. 20% of your customers will account for 80% of your sales. 20% of your products or services will account for 80% of your profits. 20% of your tasks will account for 80% of the value of what you do, and so on. This means that if you have a list of ten items to do, two of those items will turn out to be worth as much or more than the other eight items put together.
Here is an interesting discovery. Each of these tasks may take the same amount of time to accomplish. But one or two of those tasks will contribute five or ten times the value as any of the others. Often, one item on a list of ten things that you have to do can be worth more than all the other nine items put together. This task is invariably the one that you should do first.
The most valuable tasks you can do each day are often the hardest and most complex. But the payoff and rewards for completing these tasks efficiently can be tremendous. For this reason, you must adamantly refuse to work on tasks in the bottom 80% while you still have tasks in the top 20% left to be done. Before you begin work, always ask yourself, "Is this task in the top 20% of my activities or in the bottom 80%?"
The hardest part of any important task is getting started on it in the first place. Once you actually begin work on a valuable task, you seem to be naturally motivated to continue. There is a part of your mind that loves to be busy working on significant tasks that can really make a difference. Your job is to feed this part of your mind continually.
Time management is really life management, personal management. It is really taking control over the sequence of events. Time management is control over what you do next. And you are always free to choose the task that you will do next. Your ability to choose between the important and the unimportant is the key determinant of your success in life and work. Effective, productive people discipline themselves to start on the most important task that is before them. They force themselves to eat that frog, whatever it is. As a result, they accomplish vastly more than the average person and are much happier as a result. This should be your way of working as well.
Make a list of all the key goals, activities, projects and responsibilities in your life today. Which of them are, or could be, in the top 10% or 20% of tasks that represent, or could represent, 80% or 90% of your results? Resolve today that you are going to spend more and more of your time working in those few areas that can really make a difference in you life and career, and less and less time on lower value activities.

Do you persuade customers, teammates, bosses or employees via the telephone? Like it or not, you're in telephone sales. Even with all the technology on the the Internet, lots of business still revolves around the phone.
Here are some quick tips for making your point more powerful.
Talk clearly. Use short sentences. Talk loud enough but don't over-modulate the mouthpiece (that's announcer talk for distortion). This can be especially tricky when you're on the cell phone in the car. I use a bluetooth ear piece, making it easy to take notes or ordering information. Word of caution do not try to multi-task, carefully listen to what the other person is saying so you know how to respond.
Here's a technique I discovered from talking to newspaper reporters back in the corporate days. When you're talking with a reporter and you want them to write down particular points but not others, vary your pace. Talk fast through the points you don't feel are important, but slow down and enunciate the important parts you want in print. The same works for selling on the telephone.
Leave the script behind. Instead, jot down a few phrases that remind you of your important points. Ad-lib around these to keep your pitch on track. Fear of the phone can be big hurdle for many online marketers. Educate yourself about the product or service you promote. Become a product of the product. Then selling on the phone becomes like talking to your best friend when you know in your heart what's best for them.
