We have a 6 year old dog. She was getting depressed and sad because we worked all day long. She was gaining weight and needed more exercise. My husband and I thought she might like a friend. We adopted a male dog for her a few years ago. She has a renewed vigor, lost weight and hopefully added years to her life. I recommend adopting a pet, for yourself or your pets!

I have been absolutely recommending a vegetarian lifestyle and Kashi Foods!!!

Most recently recommended a cream to my Uncle and he went out the next day to purchase it.

Own your money! Think about how hard you work for that paycheck, and buy things you genuinely want to have. If you are questioning a purchase (big or small), ask, “Is this worth my hard work?” Save, save, save!

I have positive words taped to my bed so that when i wake up or go to sleep the words will be there.

Everyday I write down 5 positives about my life..it works!

I have started trying to learn something new everyday with my 3 year old son. I realized his mind is so open and inquisitive, and I don’t want my mind to become closed and uninformed as I age (I will be 41 this June, Yikes!) Here is the Internet, the whole world open to us to explore, so each day we find a new topic that seems to catch his fancy and we research it online. I have learned about bears, dinosaurs, insects, bananas, anything and everything all in the footsteps of my son. Life is for learning, keep your mind active and healthy.

I have 2 kids and I’m sure that comunicating with them keeps your spirit up! Kids make us refeel the yang ages…Please smile to the yangsters walking along!

I’m graduating this year and off to college in August.

I recommend saying three or four positive words over in your head, if you are upset or thinking negative or even before bed. It really makes a difference for me. Try it!

Went out to dinner last night for our anniversary and when I weighed myself this morning at the health club I saw I had gained 2 lbs…..maintained a somewhat positive attitude and challenged myself to lose it quickly and workout a little longer!!

I just started yoga at home on dvd and I love it…it is so much easier to do it at home with the kids being busy all the time I dont…try it..its a great way to balance your mind and body!

this is random, but i have been obsessed with stride gum. it’s good,it’s new- give it a try! lol. they should pay me for this. but it tastes good and the packaging is nice.

I have been recommending Tupperware’s Fridgesmarts to everyone I know. They double the life of your fruits and vegetables and since we have started eating healthier it is nice to not have wilted lettuce or squishy grapes. If you would like to know more about them too go to www.TupperKids.com. Did you know we throw out 60% off the produce that we purchase. What a waste!

Buy a child character plate with dividers and base the largest section for your veg, the second largest for your protein and the smaller sizes for your carb and or dessert

Oprah’s show “The Big Give” is fantastic, and I can’t keep my mouth closed about it. I’ve been holding back tears sharing last weeks episode with everyone I know. Even my dad got teary eyed when I shared it with him. I like to share uplifting information with others…

I recently joined a “social internet radio” website. It has been great sharing different genres of music with others and getting feedback from each other.
