I am on day 7 of my second "30 Days to Healthy Living and Beyond" program with Arbonne. It's a detox and we cut out all known allergens: gluten, dairy, soy, corn, artificial everything, processed foods and refined sugars. We eat clean, drink a lot of protein, fiber, detoxifying tea and use a killer prebiotic/probiotic. I love it because for me, it really resets my entire system. The first time I did it I had just quit an insanely taxing and stressful job and had been trying to get pregnant. I found out I was pregnant right as I ended the cleanse! I really believe that food is fuel and we need to be conscious of what we are putting in our bodies. Similarly, what we put on our skin is just as important. Did you know that our skin takes what we put on it into our bloodstream in just 26 seconds? Our bodies are amazing. I am happy to have found a company I trust and believe in and products that I cannot live without. I am so grateful for the knowledge that empowers me to be better and take the best care of myself!

On another note, I have been setting a lot of goals, the most urgent being to see people as they can become and the greatness they are capable of. I wonder how often we really take stock of how we treat each other, if we give each other the benefit of the doubt. I know that I have a "listen to respond" personality and am putting all of my energy into becoming a "listen to understand," "listen to serve" person. I think the world is a much better place when we just show a little compassion and a lot of love. Joseph B. Wirthlin said: "Kindness is the essence of greatness." In a world where you can be anything, be kind.
