This Week's
Issue



Write your own rules.

You can decide right now what you will or won't do from this day forward. You can create your own ceremony to never be a slave to negativity, abusiveness, poor habits, etc.

Years ago I had my own personal ceremony. I went into my closet and threw away all of my "FAT" clothes. There was a pair of slacks size 16!!! That's a long way from my current size. The ritual itself was liberating. It was a mental rite of passage for me and I knew I would never go back to those sizes ever again.

It's been years since that ritual and as far as my size, I have never looked back.

At that time I took out my journal and I wrote "I never have to go back" I never have to let anything or anyone inside my heart that I don't want there. I had to control my thoughts, feelings, actions, and I had to decide who I would allow into my life. It was my choice to make and I made it.

Decide today to create new rituals that support, empower and strengthen you. Engage in thinking and actions that will assure your success and drive you to reach your goals each day.

What rite of passage do you need to perform today to help you Take Control of your Health, your Career, your Family and YOURSELF... Do it today!

Weekly Fit Tip

Laughing at trouble

When you suffer a setback, find a way to be joyful, not because of what has happened, but because it's your most powerful response. Seek to laugh at your troubles, not because they are funny or trivial, but as an effective way of taking positive control.

It's easy to be happy when things are going great. The real power of happiness, however, comes in times of difficulty. A dismal, dejected attitude will only hold you back. A positive, joyful approach can move you quickly ahead.

Sure it's tough to be positive when there's no reason to be. It's difficult, and yet it is possible. Accept for a moment that it is possible, and that it is beneficial. Then ask yourself if you would like to reap that benefit.
Find your joy not in mere circumstances, but rather with that part of you which transcends the circumstances.

Live that joy with vigor and sincerity, and you'll begin to see how even the most difficult of situations can be turned in your favor. Seek to truly lift up life and make it impossible for life to get you down.




"I want to thank you for all of your wonderful products! I had been suffering from foot discomfort for almost 10 years. Since taking the products - and I am sure it is the combination of all of them, but particularly the OsteoProCare - after about three months my feet were perfectly normal. It may also have something to do with the fact that I have lost about 30 pounds using the products. I have not even been trying to diet! I just think that when you get the proper nutrition you don't crave "junk food." I now crave my Body Balance! Life Force has been a great asset to both my physical and my financial health! Thank you for becoming a 'force' in my life!"
Barbara Kardokus, OK

Victoria,

"I would like to thank you Victoria for being so honest in your book (Body Revival). I myself am an African-American woman, I have been married for 3 years and I am 23 years old. While reading your book I realized that I had a lot of low self-esteem issues, and that just let myself go.... Your book has given me the tools that I need to stick to your plan and know that with my Lord and savior Jesus Christ I can do all things. Thank you soooo much, and may God continue to keep you and your family and your ministry."

Karima P.,
New Jersey
