This picture is not really related to this post, except to the time of day, I’m writing this!  4:02am. Can’t sleep because I’m so excited.  But since I am using this picture, I’ll just give a shout out to the unknown person who took it and shared it with us.  This picture is taken from across the lake at the boat ramp area.  This is a picture, looking at our property, we call the TowMate Inn.

It’s not really an Inn, but a place that suppliers and visitors of TowMate can stay while here.  It is not open to the public.  We do have people ask, but at this time, it is pretty well occupied, most of the time.

Back to my title for today.  I work for Enagic, a forty year old company out of Japan.  They sell a water technology that is used in their hospitals, to heal all kinds of diseases.  Here in the US, we can’t make any medical claims, so I won’t.  Which that’s not really the prime focus of our business anyway.

The prime focus of our business is to create True Health, physical, emotional and financial.  Which, I am one of the luckiest people in the world.  I am financially independent.  I don’t think in the world today, many people can say that.  If you can, that’s awesome.  If you can’t, I invite you to join me.  My business is one of a global nature, and pays handsomely for your efforts.  I don’t know of any other profession that takes care of it’s people like this one does.  I used to do real estate.  I did really well, but your still chasing that next new deal.  There’s nothing that builds stability of residual income as this does.

I’m also Health Independent!  (I think I’m going to coin that a new phrase, lol) Did you know in the U.S., people over the age of 50 are on an average of 5 medications a day.  I take 0 medications.  I remember when I ran my copy business 20 years ago, it was so stressful, they put me on high blood pressure medicine.  After I closed that business down, my stress level went down, so I weaned myself off the pills.  I remember my Mother saying, you need to be on them for the rest of your life.  I disagreed and believe me, she was not happy.  I did’t care.  I am a firm believer, that if you give your body what it needs, it can and will heal itself.  The body needs, balanced diet, plenty of good clean water, exercise and rest.  It is in the resting, that the body heals itself.  If you don’t believe that, then what about a cut, it scabs and falls off.  Think about it, if it can do that, it can do other things too.

Because of the healing benefits of the water, it is the perfect vehicle for me to quench that thirst of helping others.  I have been working with family, friends etc to build my new water business.  I’ve perfected the sign up process. Now, I am moving on to the global phase.

The Company has offices around the globe, and is opening new markets in India and Russia.  I have been putting all the pieces of the social media together.  While doing all this, I have found a new friend in India, and we are working on getting him set up to do the business there.  India has a terrible water supply, and he is already a person who helps people with their health, so please pray for us as we try to put it together so he can help others to get clean healthy healing water.  I’m finding communication is an issue sometimes, but love speaks all languages.

I have tried my hand at the installation phase, and decided, I’m not cut out for that.  I need to hire a plumber to do that for me.  In our area, builders have put in new homes these funky sink faucets and it’s driving me crazy.  I’m not alone, and we have different companies that sell a retrofit thingy that we can put on, but its’s been a real struggle.  The normal faucets are no problem.  We do have ways, I just have to add a step of “show me your faucet!”

In wrapping up this post, New is always hard, I invite you to join me.  If you know someone who may be interested and you are not, please refer me to them, and I will make sure you receive a nice thank you gift if they are.  E-mail me, Christy@alkalizingyourwater.com if you have questions about the water technology, or about starting your own business.

Thank you again for reading my post.  Try to leave me a comment, as I think the thing isn’t working again.  Darn thing.  I told you new is hard! Lol

Ha ha, this is so cute, but today, I’m not talking about physical exercise.  I want to talk about discipline.  My mentor, Darren, on DarrenDaily.com was mentioning about discipline in other areas.  He is a wonderful blessing in my life.  Check him out.

Anyway, as he said this morning, “Discipline is a Great Key to Success”.

Many of you may not have a job that depends on success, like mine, with my Kangen water business, but how about just the obvious things in life, like, how many of you make your beds in the morning?  Just one example.  For those who do, congratulations.

For those that don’t, think about this.  If you leave your house and your home is in disarray, it can create stress in your life, you aren’t even conscience about.  What if, you rent a place and all of a sudden, the landlord calls and says, we have to go in and do this or that.  Your body goes into stress mode.

I’m lucky, because my Grandma always made her beds every morning.  I decided as a kid, I wanted to be just like her.  However, getting married to a wonderful man, who was not a tidy kind of guy, my life took on an organized chaos.  No made beds, dishes in the sink, you know what I mean.

It wasn’t until that marriage broke up and I lived with a man who was a total neat freak, that my internal stress level went way down.  It was wonderful!  I had help!  It was just like living at my Grandma’s house!  Everyday!

Now, I did get in trouble a time or two, because I wasn’t totally up to his standards yet, but it didn’t take long, once you start putting those disciplines into your routines.  The “USE IT OR LOSE IT”  it doesn’t take long to destroy all those disciplines either if you let yourself go for a few days.

This can apply to being consistent with your kids.  If No is No today, for example.  That same No should be no today, tomorrow, and the next day so that they understand you are the boss!  There is such a problem with kids today because boundaries keep changing.  Also, you need to as parents, stay united on the yes and no’s.  If your kids figure out that if they can’t get from one, but they can get from the other, THEY WIN, YOU BOTH LOSE!

So, learn to use those discipline muscles.  It will pay big dividends in your life!

One other thing is your finances.  Discipline yourself to be able to tell those kids, your spouse and even yourself, NO, if you can’t afford something.  Most marriages end, and relationships end because of money issues.  Many homes are suffering financially these days because one or the other is unwilling to go get a second job.  Really?  It doesn’t mean it has to be forever, just long enough to bring your family out of the red.

If you are looking for something to do, to help your family and want to do it from home, please consider looking into my business and join me AlkalizingYourWater.com. This business offers Heath, Wealth, and True Freedom.  If not this, then find something else.

Don’t loose everything you have, because you didn’t take the actions necessary to keep your family in tack in this very unstable world.  It’s not up to anyone else to do it for you.  Hence USE IT OR LOOSE IT

Hello, to my very special reader!  While I’m writing this, it’s Friday Morning.  I am glad it’s Friday, because that means baseball, a birthday party and just a all around relaxing weekend.  Basically what I’m doing right now, is dreaming of what my weekend will be.

However, what I can’t control is the weather.  Bad weather, no baseball.  Then I’ll be dreaming of being in Detroit with my granddaughter at a Open House for Detroit Wrecker.  You see, I have the choice of which dream to make come true.  Unfortunately, I do have to make that choice.  Since this will be the last game of the year for Alex, I’m choosing baseball.  It’s a tournament for the AllStars that only a hand full of kids in the state will play in.

Next year he will move from Traveling Ball to High School ball.  He dreams of playing ball in his adult life.  It is very exciting for me watching him play!

Sorry, couldn’t help myself.  Ok so back to this post and our dreams!

Ok, so I would like you to close your eyes for a minute after reading this paragraph of course, and think about all the things that you would like to do if money was absolutely no object.  Keeping in mind that YOU THINK you will never ever achieve these things.  Ok, take a minute and do this now.  (Pause!  I wish this had a pause button so I would know if you were really doing it)  this stuff is powerful and I’ll show you why in a minute.

Ok, so write these things down.  Put them away.  Your brain has been put on notice of the things you want in life.  I really hoped you stretched yourself with your dreams.

Now I’m going to show you a list I made for myself in 2007.

Ok, so it obviously doesn’t matter that your list is neatly written, just that it knows.  Ok, another cruise?  Yes. We went on a cruise to Alaska.  It was awesome, and would so do it again.  Went on a float boat to Taku lodge, and had fresh Salmon, and watched the Bears get the leftovers from the outside grill.  Highly recommend it.

Get arm fixed.  Done.  Not by surgery or rehab either.  I started drinking Acai juice from Monavie.  Awesome but very expensive.  Rotator cuff.  Sound familiar anyone.  I watched many people get surgery while I suffered through it.  I had full range of motion now, surgery free.  Our bodies have incredible healing powers, if we just give our bodies the tools to do it.

Get teeth fixed?  Oh yes, check!  When I was doing real estate, I was making a lot of money.  I only did it for 2 years, but everything I made extra went into my smile.  I had gum disease really bad.  Everything is fixed, and no more gum disease.  This one is kinda embarrassing but I’m showing you that if you really want something, you can have it.  (Consider also, I could have taken the easy way out and gotten dentures instead and drive a brand new really nice car for what I have in my mouth today, but that wasn’t my dream!)

Buy lot across the street?  Nope, still for sale, if someone wants to build a house next to us lol

Yes, yes, yes, down to mammogram.  Still no!  My grandma lived to 104 and told me since I was a kid, never let anyone touch your girls, except your husband.  For 1000’s of years we survived without them.  No one talks about the negative aspects of them.  You can do it, I choose not to.

Aquarium, no, still waiting, yes to everything else.  Including the housekeeper, which was always a dream of mine since a kid.  She comes twice a month.  Our home is 4000 sq ft, and that’s a big house. (For me anyway.  Plus living near the lake, we get lots of bugs that like to visit, and die.  I remember one time, in the spring, I was overtaken in the house by ladybugs.  They liked the white siding.  I picked up over 100 ladybugs and took them outside.  Not all at once of course.  Over a week or so.

Ok, so finishing, this post, do you see now, why dreaming should be a very important aspect of your life?  Try it! What do you have to loose.  I had put this booklet away in 2007.  Now that I’m working with Enagic Kangen water business, I was changing out my desk and came across this booklet.  I have new ones, and my dreams are even bigger now.  I will share those another time.

If your not making enough money to achieve your dreams, maybe you need to join me in Enagic.  Watch the videos and click on the business opportunities.  If it’s not for you, that’s ok, but seriously, find another avenue of income, and your dreams will become reality.

One last thing, I almost forgot.  Find yourself a mentor.  I love DarrenDaily.com. <<< just takes a couple of minutes a day, but seriously will help change your life!

Thanks again for reading this post.  Till next time…

I decided in needed a better title for this page.  I came came across a video today of Dr Oz talking about Americas water supply. Please watch the video below, because it affects everyone of us.

It is one of the reasons why I’m so passionate about helping people get better water!  Watch his video and please look at my website to learn more about protecting you and your family! Click here after watching Dr Oz’s video

After watching the video below, Then click on the link above to go to my website and watch the other videos which talk about the Kangen water machines that can help protect your family.  I highly recommend the SD501 drinking and cleaning your home and the Anespa for bathing and showering.  You can buy right off the website and have clean drinking water in just a few days!

This is no longer a matter of oh well, someday I can afford to get one.  Our water supply may be poisoning us!

This weekend we had a little get away. We took our plane and went to Bryan’s class reunion at Union Springs Academy, in Union Springs, New York. A little trip down memory lane. I got to meet some of his fellow classmates, and their wives and husbands. I would like to thank all those who put hours into putting it together. It was a fun, lively weekend.

On the way out, Bryan told me we had a hotel reservation, for Saturday night at the Roland House, which is part of the Inns at Aurora. We didn’t have one for Friday night. (I hate that, the what if you can’t get a hotel room.) We stopped by the hotel to see where it was and it turned out to be a bed and breakfast.

Oh no, it’s beautiful, but I hate bed and breakfasts. Here’s Why…

We went to England for a Towshow. Stayed at a bed and breakfast. The room consisted of small TV, a sink, no toilet and a small bed. Toilet and shower was down the hall, and felt like six others were using the same bathroom. Other peoples things were everywhere. We got there too late for dinner, so we had to walk to the nearest pub, which closed 5 minutes before we got there. I was not a happy camper. We had walked past a gas station to get there, so we bought junk and went back to go to bed. Yuck! We only stayed the one night, needless to say!

Now, granted, on another trip, to England, we stayed in a lovely Bed and Breakfast, on the Cliffs of Dover. It was beautiful, with the bathroom in our room, and the most wonderful people who owned the property, that took excellent care of us. I remember sitting at the dinning room table having breakfast, and we were telling them what our plans were. I remember the gentleman scolding Bryan for the quickness of our trip. He told him, you Americans think just because you go and take pictures of a place, that you have been there. You two need to slow down and appreciate the place. They were awesome. As a side note, nothing’s changed as far as that goes. It’s still quick to visit and move on.

So back to this weekend, when we pulled in, I gave him a dirty look. You didn’t tell me it was a bed and breakfast. His response? But honey, it’s right on the water, and it’s 450.00 a night, and I did it for you! Come on, it will be great. It was! Lucky for him, it was beautiful. I highly recommend it.  Here are some of the pictures inside.

And the outside was equally as impressive…

Somethings in life deserve second chances, and this one was well worth it!

So, before we went go back home we stopped to see Cornell University, which is huge, and beautiful.   We stopped to see the water fall, at Ithaca Gorge.

Then he wanted to show me Enfield Glenn where they used to go as a kid and hike and swim.

He wanted to hike the hike, him and his father did, the year before his father was murdered. Fine! this was not in my plan, or I would’ve worn my tennis shoes, instead of my beautiful new Yellow Box flip flops.

I guess I didn’t pay attention to the sign, 2 Miles, ONE WAY!

Almost back to the beginning

So 4 miles hiking later, up the hills, down the hills around the falls. Some of the trail had mudd holes, and on one one of them, I slipped and got my toes all full of mudd. Not a happy girl. We came to a spot where I could wash my feet and flip flops in the water. They handled the hike magnificently, and would so recommend Yellow Box flip flops to anyone.

When we finally got done, he said, he thought that must not be the hike they took, because he didn’t remember it being that intense! Yeah right, I think he just wanted to do it. Ok, check! One more thing off the bucket list. Good thing God impressed me to lose 5 pounds the week before. That was harder than the Mount in New Zealand we hiked to the top of.

Well, good bye Upstate New York, but before we go, we grab some lunch, as we were starving. We get into the car and it starts to pour down. Plus it’s lighting. By the time we get to the airport, it had moved past and out of the way. Everything is great, until about an hour out of a 6 hour flight, there are storms on both sides of us, but a window we can go through. Yes, until all of a sudden, it starts pouring and it gets really violent. Bryan said he pulled the power back so not to break the wings off as we got sucked up about 3500 feet. Up is better then down, in my opinion.  Things are bouncing all over the place, and thank God I always have my seatbelt on, unless I’m trying to get him something. I’m in the back and holding on for dear life.  It felt like 5 or 10 min. but Bryan said it was only a couple of minutes.

I had changed where I was sitting in the back, so I could use the headset to talk to him, and got buckled back up. It was 15 min or so later, that it happened, so I could hear him say, it’s ok, honey, hold on. Just a few more minutes and we will be through this. One of the longest few minutes of my life, and I am so grateful that he is such a great pilot. It was smooth the rest of the way home.  So glad to be home.

He snapped a picture of me doing this blog that I’m putting the finishing touches on now.

While we were gone, I was able to share the Kangen Water with many people. I hope that I was able to touch those that God wanted and will use it to His Glory in some way. I made many new friends and it was a weekend we will always remember!

This statement is so true.  Let me start off first by thanking everyone who joined me on my last post.  It just about blew up my email from all the notifications of new subscribers.  I’d like to send out an e-mail to those of you who have subscribed, inviting everyone to give me just a little bit more information about yourselves.  All I get is the email and a user name.  I’d love to know things like your real name?  Duh.  And just things about yourself, the reader.

Just, please don’t hold your breath till you get my email, because, I may have to hire someone to do it for me.  Or figure out how to automate the process. lol

You don’t have to let me know who your are.  You can chose to remain way in the back of the room, if you will, thats just fine too.  I just love that you take the time, when you can to read this.

As you can tell, I am in the business of relationships, which is pretty funny in itself, because, as I tell others, I suck at being a friend.  My children and my Grand children are my best friends.  With Bryans business, TowMate, and my business, Enagic Kangen Water, it provides for something to do from the time we get up in the morning, to bed time.

So, that’s where choices must be made.  We do not have time for TV shows at all. (Except I do record my favorite Soap Opera and fast forward through commercials lol)

We have alot of the toys of life, planes, boats, convertibles, motorhome, motorcycle, etc.  The motorcycle I love, but we hardly ever use it.  In the 90’s we belonged to the Goldwing Motorcycle Club.  We were one of the yougest couples there, and we loved everyone of the members.  I was jealous, because they would go on great trips accross the United States and we couldn’t go because we had jobs.  Now that we could break away, most of the original group has passed away.  Sad, but really?  This girls butt and back couldn’t have handled it anyway. lol

Attitude, is everything!  Hence my title.  Back in the early 80’s, my attitude was bad.  I received a letter inviting me to take a sales mastery class with Tony Robbins.  He was just getting started.  It was a thousand dollars.  My boyfriend at the time and I were running a business, and we decided to have me take the class, and take him up on the offer, to return it and get our money back if we did’nt make 3 times the money we were making within a certain time after taking the course.  Sure enough, I put the things to use, and we did infact triple our income, and I wouldn’t let him ask for the thousand back.

This did open the doors to a flood of desire for more self help books, tapes, seminars, etc.  (I spent about 5,000.00 over the next couple of years.)  That was when I had the pleasure of going to a Jim Rohn seminar, because I already knew he was Tony Robbins Mentor.  Fast forward 40 years and now I listen to DarrenDaily, Daily Mentoring.  You can find him at DarrenDaily.com  His mentor was also Jim Rohn.  Darren, has “Short and Sweet for Success!” clips sent right to your email every morning except on the weekends of course.  The cool thing for me, is that he is following me on twitter!  Ok, I hear some of you saying big deal.  And I get that.  If you’ve never experienced the self help area of your life, I hope that someone, somewhere can touch that part of your life, and set in motion the rocket that will let your life go to the next level.

So to wrap this up, I just want to thank you again for reading this.  My last post, Happiness is a decision, and where you are at in life right now is a product of all of your decisions.  If your not happy with your product, maybe it’s time to add something to your life.  I’m looking for Global Distributors, to bring the Very best water to the world.  You can look on my Website, www.alkalizingyourwater.com and see if it”s something you might want to do. Be sure to look at the business opportunity tab on the website.  I am having the time of my life, and I want you to as well. no matter where your life may lead you.  Till next time…

I saw this, and realized that so many people are buying things, hoping to find their happiness!  Some have called it retail therapy.   I think that is funny.  I also notice that some are even addicted to the process.  Buying things for the high of it, and then returning the item, just to be able to continue the process.  I don’t know if there is a name for this, but I’m sure the hoarding shows on TV, have people who started, simple enough, and ending in a terrible situation because of it.

Today, I saw my home through the eyes of a little girl, about 10.  She asked if we were rich.  It took me back for a minute, because we don’t really consider ourselves to be “RICH”.  We don’t have the buying addiction, because we don’t buy things just to make us feel happy.  We do have expensive taste so the things we do buy are very nice.  We believe Happiness is a choice.

I told her my daughter calls us the richest broke people we know.  LOL  We have a business, that provides for almost 50 people.  We do have nice things, but not huge amounts of cash in the bank.  I guess that in my mind would make me feel like we were rich.  It’s such a relative term.  When is enough, enough?

In my mind, when you have a roof over your head, food to feed you and your family, a car in working order that you can hop in and not worry about it breaking down.  Love and laughter in your home, etc.  Those are the things that I consider being rich.  How about you.  How much money or things do you think you would need, to feel like you’re rich?

If you don’t have that, and are looking to increase your financial picture, so as to relieve the stress in your life and increase your happiness, by helping others, please feel free to email me or call me.  Info is on my contact page.  If you’re reading this, you are obviously not down and out.  Maybe it’s time to look around your own situation through a childs eyes.

I saw this and though of how beautiful that sight is.  Think about this for a second.  This is the site my great grandparents saw as they came to America.  How proud they were to be able to come to the United States Of America.

Many had their names changed when they came over.  For example, my Hager heritage, the last name in Germany was Haager.  I was told as a little girl, that the reason they changed it, was because of the evil things that Hitler had done to his people.  They didnt want to carry on that to America, so they dropped the extra A.

We still have this way of entering our country, with pride and dignity.  Unlike, stealing your way in, going through our borders.  Where is the pride in that?

I feel we difinately need to give back the power to our border patrols to protect our citizens.  The Obama administraion has tied the hands of the border agents as to what they can do.  If you live on the border, you know exactly what I am talking about. There is a way to enter our country, the right way.

These people entering our borders illegally, are bringing diseases into our schools.  They are being bussed into other parts of the country, and allowed to go to our schools for free, and unvaccinated.  (I know there is controversary on that issue as well, better left for another post).  Ronald Raegan would be furious with Obama for allowing this to happen.  It’s NOT about Race, either.  It’s about right from wrong.

Our Brave men and women did not die, for one administration to change everything about the American way.  Another thing, and final thing for this post, and I just found this out today.  Our Anthem was changed to add 2 words.  I love Red, and hope you do too.  Many many not remember him, but Please, Please take the time to watch this video.

Red Skelton video  << click here to watch video

I hope it will give you the link to the video.  Thanks for reading my post.  Till next time

I know, I took this pic from Joel Olsteen, but I’m sure he wont care. lol  I truly hope everyone had a great 4th of July!  I would like to take a minute and tell you about mine.  It was awesome, as I love fireworks.  But in reflecting on just what it means is another thing.

I know there are a lot of Moms, Dads, Kids, sisters, brothers, etc who are missing their loved ones today and everyday because they too, fought for our country and gave their lives.

To those of you who fought and survived, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.  This country thanks you, even though it may not seem as though it does.

Especially to this most recent group of young brave vets who died overseas, and those who didn’t die, but to come back and live with the nightmares, the physical problems, they came home with.  It is just a crime, in my mind, that we, America, gave it all back.  It’s not that they shouldn’t have done it in the first place, it’s that we just walked away.  That’s not the America I grew up in!

We have to know that God is in control, and that all of this is in his perfect plan.  But I tell you, I would like to know, sooner than later why all these wonderful people had to go through this.  I sincerely want the loved ones of these great people, alive or dead, that their lives were not in vain.

So, no matter who we get as our next President, Man, or Women, Black or White, Red Yellow, Green or Blue, like the song, lol

Please God, let it be someone who can lead this country to a better tomorrow.  If it isn’t, let it be someone who will be so evil as to bring back our one true king, who will take us all home, if that is Gods Plan.

In the mean time, I challenge everyone, to take a family and help them out with what they need to make their lives have a few more smiles.  My neighbor is a shining example.  She heard a vet in a nursing home say, all I want is a big steak.  She got with the people who could make it happen, gathered the funds, and they all got a steak dinner.

I had the opportunity to help, not one, but 2 people this weekend with their psoriasis, using our Kangan Water machine.  I have been talking with someone, about my trip to Illinois.  I was telling my cousin about the water and that I saw a video that it helped Psoriasis.  Her daughter showed me her foot.

BEFORE

AFTER

We sprayed the water combo, on and she said, it stopped itching.  We were all happy.  The after pics were from 3 days later and she was so excited, she told me she hadn’t been able to wear flip flops for 6 years and was able to wear them again.

So, this weekend my friend decided to share with me their arm.  It had just started itching and we sprayed our water on it and it stopped itching.  It was a big patch that looked like it was just getting started.  For those who live with it on a continual basis, it’s awful.

When at a party, later that day, I was talking to a Mom, about the morning experience with my friend.  Her beautiful daughter came up to me and showed me her knee.  She said can you help me with this?  I said we could try.  The next day she was so excited.  The redness was gone, and the itching has subsidded.  She had been dealing with it for years.  She wanted to know if she could pay me, I said absolutely not.  She should share her experience to others about the water, and to call me if she needs more.  I said someday, you can buy a machine of your own.  To get more info on the water, www.alkalizingyourwater.com

So we can all do our part to help out each other.  It’s not all about us.  It’s about what we can do to help others.  Look around, Im sure you can find your special gift.

Tomorrow is the 4th of July!  I haven’t done a blog post in a while.  I’ve been traveling lately, and if you have been away from home for awhile, you understand how it is.  I am back, and will share some of the stories another time.

I must say, I’m grateful for all of you who were still reading and subscribing to my blog even though I haven’t been active for a bit.  You guys are awesome. Thank You so much!

I want to just take a second any say that I appreciate all of our founding fathers who died to obtain our independance.  I can’t imagine what it must have been like to live back then, since we have all creature comforts and freedom to go to the store, when ever we want.  Can travel where we want, all kinds of freedoms that those in other countries do not have.

I beg of you though, that as we do fireworks, to please watch your children while playing with the fireworks.  I am so afraid of them.  I know others are not, probably because they havent seen one hurt your child or grandchild.  I’m not saying don’t do them, I’m just saying don’t be drinking and putting off fireworks at the same time.

My grandson got hurt one year and Mommy and Daddy were right there watching, not drinking, or clowning around, just purely an accident.  I prefer to let the professionals to do the fireworks.

Watch how long you leave your food outside on this holiday too!  We don’t want any food poisening going on.  Talk about how to ruin a holiday!

So, with all that said, enjoy the 4th and I’ll say farewell for now.
