Letter for Mother's Day Delivered to Mom almost 50 Years Later Lost in Mail System

A Navy Wave wrote home to her mother while away at Dental Tech. School in California.

Strange as it may seem, the letter was lost in mail system for almost 50 years. When local post office went to renovate building, a bag of mail was found that was never delivered.

May 1963

Dear Mom,

Dental Tech School is long and hard, but I am holding my own.

With your birthday and Mother's day so close this year, I thought I would design a card just for you.

Mom, these words are from my heart to your heart.

Thank you for being my Mom.

Thank you for always believing in me.

Thank you for not telling Dad when I messed up on my report card in my senior year.

Thank you for understanding I needed to join the Navy to grow up and be on my own.

Thank you for taking me to Sunday School each Sunday, with Aunt Mary.

Thank you for signing me up for tap dancing lessons, knowing I had two left feet.

Thank you for my allowance of $5 a week, I know it put a strain on your budget with Dad not always working.

Thank you for showing me how to clean a house properly. Here at the base, it sure has come in handy.

I love you Mom, I just don't know how to deal with Daddy anymore. Believe me when I say, I left home to find myself and become a person who helps others. What ever job I end up in, I want to be just like you Mom. You are always so caring and understanding. You make a difference to any one who comes into your store, for a bottle of milk, newspaper, or just to speak with you.

I have watched you in your candy store , be treated poorly by some and some who skipped out on their bill. Mom, you never once complained or even got angry.You said they must need it more than us.

The family that you help support monthly down south, with ten dollars you send faithfully, even though we struggle ourselves.

Thank you Mom for being my role model. I Love You Mom.

Your Daughter,

Lynn

The 18 year old was me. That was many moons ago. My Mom never received the letter, so I went to her grave with flowers and read it to her.

My mother was my best friend, oh, how I miss her.

If your Mom is still alive, let her know while she can still hear and see you, how much love and gratitude is in your heart.

My family, like many, was dysfunctional, but still I loved them and freed myself from future quilt by letting them know I may not like their behavior, but I loved them.

I'm most grateful for all my life's experiences. They have made me what I am today. They were all blessings in disguise to help me grow. Challenges are there to give us an opportunity to change and grow into the person we are meant to be.

What are Sugar Alcohols ?

What are Sugar Alcohols?


Nutrition is Mother's Helper.

Vitamark International is not just another Vitamin Company, it's a mind set to deliver information
to help affiliates and customers make an intelligent decision.

Jana Mitcham, Executive Vice President over sees
the formulation of our products and a column posted on Vitamark's website.

Here is just one example of a question an affiliate had.


What Are Sugar Alcohols?
from Jana Mitcham
"If you've looked lately at the Nutrition Facts panel on a pack of sugar-free gum or candy… it contains Sugar Alcohol. Don't let the name fool you… it is neither sugar nor alcohol."
—Yale-New Haven Hospital

What are Sugar Alcohols? Affiliate Jim Jackson recently asked this question when he noticed that they were an ingredient of the Appetizer Diet Cookie. Here Jana Mitcham responds to Jim's question:

Dear Jim,

Sugar alcohols (according to the "Yale-New Haven Hospital Nutrition Advisor") occur naturally in foods and come from plants (depends on the type of sugar alcohol) such as fruits, vegetables, seaweed, cereals, mushrooms, and berries. They are not the same as alcohol nor do they contain ethanol (found in alcoholic beverages) and they are not artificial sweeteners. They are used as sweeteners and bulking agents in place of sugar because they generally are just as sweet as sugar, contain fewer calories (about 1/2 to 1/3), don't cause tooth decay like sugar, are converted to glucose more slowly than sugar, require little or no insulin to be metabolized and don't cause sudden increases in blood sugar. Yale-New Haven points out that this makes them popular with diabetics; and thus are found in many "sugar free" hard candies, cookies, chewing gums, soft drinks, toothpastes, mouthwashes and throat lozenges.

The most common side effect (reported with consumption of in excess of 15 grams and also common with over-indulgence with fruit sugars and fruit juices) is the possibility of bloating or a laxative effect--again when eaten in excessive amounts. The American Diabetes Association claims that sugar alcohols are acceptable in moderate amounts--over-indulgence does provide calories and carbohydrates.

The common sugar alcohols are mannitol, sorbitol, xylitol, lactitol,isomalt and maltitol. You will often see them in foods posting a "Net Carbohydrate" count. A "Net Carbohydrate " count for low carbohydrate dieters is the total number of carbohydrates in a product less carbohydrates from fiber and sugar alcohols. This is due to the slower manner in which it converts to glucose and the fact that it doesn't cause sudden increases in blood sugar. Thus, the Appetizer Diet Cookie, which has a total carbohydrate count of 22 grams, would only count as 11 Net Carbohydrates (subtract out the 3 grams of carbs from sugar alcohols and 8 grams from fiber). This is especially important for people following Atkins or other low carbohydrate diet guidelines.

Once again, sugar alcohols are neither sugars nor alcohol—it is just that part of their structure resembles sugar and the other part is similar to alcohol. They are naturally occurring: Mannitol comes from pineapple, olives, asparagus, sweet potatoes or carrots and Xylitol from fruit, cereals, mushrooms, etc. Different sugar alcohols come from different natural sources.

What's On Your Mind?

There is a saying, " Energy Flows Where the Mind Goes"

Wow a powerful statement.

When you understand what it means, your personal growth changes for the better every day.

What's on your mind? Powerful thoughts? Growing Thoughts? Pictures in your mind where you want to be? What kind of house you want to live in?
How you want to look?

Our Mind tells the subconscious in words or pictures what we see for ourselves in the present moment.

The subconscious works only in the present moment.

So, living in the past, repeating negative stories and memories pull us down. The universe will give you what ever you Focus on.

What are you FOCUSING ON?

Our job is to put in our Order, the Universe's job is to Deliver!

When we put strong Feelings mixed with Action, our subconscious and Universe now understand we are serious about the commitment we have made.

Keep, keeping on. Don't stop or quit.
Always remember, you are always just three feet away from any Goal.

You can get up just one more time!

I Believe in You.

Have a Successful Day

Laura Lucas, Your Friend in Kentucky

Hello Friends, it's an honor to introduce Laura Lucas from Kentucky.

Laura is a very talented Network Marketer that brings common sense and great manners to a new level. Laura is well known for being a leader who brings out the Best in every one on her team. If you should ever get to Kentucky be sure to look Laura up, she is one of the finest cooks and her specialty is soy cooking. Be sure to look at her blogs for the newest recipe.

Who am I?? YOUR FRIEND IN KENTUCKY, Laura Lucas

I am a woman, firstborn, Professional Network Marketer, friend, Virgo, student, mentor, Occupational Therapist, daughter, sister, teacher, coach, creator, and cook to mention the highlights who lives in Kentucky, USA.

My first career is in Occupational Therapy. I help people return to the meaningful activities of their daily life after injury or illness, focusing on what they want and need to "do" to function at their best. Sometimes this means showing people a new or different way to get things done. So largely my job centers on "teaching" and "coaching." However, in my health care profession I generally only get to work with people after a problem presents itself.

So HOW does this relate to NetWork Marketing?

For a number of years I watched someone close to my heart FAIL repeatedly and lose thousands of dollars in what he referred to as "network marketing opportunities."

At that time, I could see that several of these "opportunities" didn't make sense. However, I lacked the knowledge to understand HOW or WHY they wouldn't work. At that time, I was unable to help that person pursue what was most meaningful to them.

I actually came to DESPISE the term NetWork Marketing.

THEN, I got educated!!

s introduced to a team of people willing to educate others for *FREE, in any company.
I came to understand the difference between a legitimate multi-level marketing business and an illegal pyramid scheme. Things began to make sense. I could now see WHY the concept of leveraging effort and residual income appealed to so many. And even more so, HOW it could help me reach my personal and financial goals.

My second career, as a Professional Network Marketer, continues to let me interact and help people; but now, I can be more proactive—I can reach out to people, help them identify and pursue their dreams, not wait for injury or illness to bring them across my path.

In conjunction with building my home-business, I chose to share with others the education and support I was so freely given. I am now apart of the team of Volunteer Mentors, with Mentoring For Free, who teach others "How to think, not what to think" and the skills to build the business of your choice using a proven system.

I want to be YOUR FRIEND IN KENTUCKY.

I urge you to invest your time in getting educated before you ever invest your money. YOU are your greatest assesst, which is exactly why Gavin encourages to BRAND yourself.

Hello My friends,

Today I would like to highlight Cheryl Henderson-Khalid, a Mom who Home School's her children while building a business from home.

Very Inspiring, Read and Visit Cheryl's site and share it with your friends.

Hi. My name is Cheryl Henderson-Khalid. I am from New York City, married with three children, three fish, two cats and one dog. I also homeschool my children, so if you were to visit me you'd always find something interesting going on. My husband and I met while working at Morgan Stanley and we've been together for over ten years. He's very sweet and supportive. I think I'll keep him.

I am the youngest of six children and maybe that's the reason that I have always had a different slant on life. I started working when I was 14 and after high school I went out and got a full-time job. And I hated it. I hated the office politics, the backstabbing and all of the other situations that offices breed. Then I discovered the wonderful world of temporary employment. I could take an assignment, work for a few days or a few months, and then move on to the next assignment. I enjoyed the variety, the learning curves and best of all the lack of office drama. I was under the radar because I was just "the temp".

Although temping was a great experience for me overall, I really wanted to be my own boss. So I took certification classes and became a notereader/scopist (the people who transcribe what a court reporter types), medical transcription and a host of other things. What I was seeking, although I didn't know it, was a business to call my very own.

My first introduction to network marketing was in the 1990s. At the time I didn't know that my vitamin company was a network marketing business. I did well with business, I think, because of my enthusiasm for how their products enhanced my health. See, I just loved my products and told people how they helped me. People wanted to see if it would work for them and my business grew. Unfortunately I moved after being in the business for a couple of years, and since the Internet wasn't much of a force at the time, my customer base dropped off since I couldn't easily deliver products to people who lived two states away.

In 2000 my niece joined her first network marketing company. She sat me down and explained how the network marketing business model worked and why I should get involved. See, in my former company I was doing retailing or direct sales, not network marketing. To do network marketing effectively you need to have a group of people working together. This was a new concept for me, but what a concept. Get a group of like-minded people together and build a team that helps everyone earn money. Wow!

Unfortunately for me, I stopped doing what came naturally for me and started following the script. I did what my upline said without asking questions, I followed the old procedure of "make a list of 100 friends and family" and the rest of the litany. I stopped doing what worked for me (which was going with my passion and talking to people in a way that was natural for me. And when that happened, my business dropped off. I started getting stressed out about results which, of course, just made everything worse.

If I had one piece of advice to give a network marketing newbie it would be to keep your credit card in your pocket. Use your card only for purchasing the products you'd like to sell, not on leads and other cash wasters. Through a plethora of free e-books and other training I've learned that the most important thing to do is to grow a list of people who want to learn more about your business and products. This doesn't require money (or at least not much money). It requires a plan and the resolve to do the grunt work (as well as the cool stuff). In network marketing you can grow as quickly or as slowly as you want to, this isn't a job, it's your business, so treat it as such.

These days I'm running with my passions which are homeschooling and family. I am constructing a website that will help other homeschoolers learn how to work at home while educating their children,, as well as a blog entitled Homeschooling WAHM and one that is more about my personal Journey to Success. My goal is to share the experiences and information I've gleaned over the years to help other moms (and dads) to finance their goals. I have learned innumerable lessons along the way. I've learned marketing, relationship building by recognizing dominant personality traits, developing self-discipline and being consistent with my advertising strategies, how to be a positive force in the lives of others . Someone once said that network marketing is a process of self-discovery attached to a compensation plan and I've found that to be very true. And of course, lots of great friends from around the globe. These are some of my favorite hangouts. If you need any help or just an encouraging word stop by and say "hello".
