This Week's
Issue




"Heart disease is the number one killer of women.  It kills nearly twice as many women as all forms of cancers combined." - American Heart Institute

5 Step Take Action Heart Healthy Plan

1. Understand You control your heart health
2. Reduce Stress. Relax and stretch using a good breathing program- See Stretch & Tone.
3. Read self help material weekly such as Simple Abundance by Sarah Von Bron
4. Aerobic Exercise. Power Walk, jog, cycle, treadmill, dance
5. Eat a Low Fat Diet. See my Quick Start program (audio & book)

When you work your heart do it with both of these thoughts in mind. Here are some ways to make your heart work well physically and feel good spiritually.

To Do List FOR the Heart

Cut Your fat Intake
Walk a mile
Dance to fun music
Eat an Orange
Relax quietly for 15 minutes
Get a massage
Eat Whole grain bread
Ride an outdoor bicycle
Buy a Personal Training session
Do Cardio 15-45 minutes in your zone
Get to your appointments early
Play on the playground structure
Stretch your back
Move energetically for one day
Drink 8 glasses of bottled water

To Do List FROM the heart

Smile at a stranger
Put Money in someone else's parking meter
Smile at yourself in the mirror
Baby-sit for someone who needs a break
Mentor a youth
Send Flowers to a special man or woman
Make a donation
Visit a retirement center & participate in an activity
Have a facial
Sing really loud in church
Send a long overdue card to a friend or relative
Say no to an insignificant request
Say "I Love you" in the mirror
Indulge psychologically in your goals- get excited
Dream big and then believe even bigger in your dreams

This is just a small list for you to stimulate your thinking. Your heart is the most important muscle in your body. It controls the center of your life. The way you feel about yourself comes straight from the heart. The health of your heart is the health of your life line.

If you lift weights and not do cardio for your heart, you will make a great looking corpse. Muscles are not a guarantee of total health. To be happy and healthy, you must have a strong heart both physically and spiritually. Take action today, let the healing begin.

Throughout my newsletter you will find links to products that can help you achieve a physically healthy heart, this week I urge you to pick several items from each of the above categories, implement them into your daily life, and feel your heart grow stronger and healthier each day.

Enjoy the newsletter and have an Awesome Week!

I am 45 yrs old and 100 lbs overweight (since age 25.) Two weeks ago I walked out of my job on my lunch hour and decided I was not going back. Two days later I bought the bible at Target and the next day I went to Barnes and Nobel and was drawn to your book by the beautiful cover. I read it in about 3 days and thank God I found it.

You speak to the whole person, as we are not just our body. I went to the grocery store and immediately bought 6 min oatmeal, bran cereal, rye crisps and tons of fruits and veggies. With the help of your prayer suggestions and the bible quotes( I was already reading on my own), I knew I had found something profound!!

You can say I am on a life revival. I have always wanted to teach children and now I know somehow I will have the courage to conquer my weight correctly this time and succeed in some of my long forgotten goals. I also bought an in home walking tape to begin my exercise program and I have dusted off my exercise bike and I belong to the YWCA, so I will begin swimming too.

God Bless You.
