Wow, 2020 just will not stop. Just when we think things are getting better, we get struck with yet, another heartache. With that being said, businesses are trying new things to be able to sustain income. Most have adapted to online sales. People are also trying to adapt  to online school. Parents are now becoming a one income family.  I have a solution for you. Direct Sales. I have been part of direct sales on/off for over 14 years and when the going gets rough, the commissions come in. I lost my job due to covid and I started to rethink my business. I started to talk about the products on Facebook and through this blog and guess what? I started getting sales. It started out at about $50 here and there, but over the past 7 months, since covid hit, I am up to $350/mo in commissions. That comes in handy when not having a consistent payday. If you decide to do a direct sales business, you first need to believe in the product, whatever that product may be. Use the product, do live videos of you using the product. People love to see how much you love what you sell. My story dates back to having stage IV cancer and not wanting to use any products that could harm my body. I found L'Bri Skincare. It is aloe based and works for me and with that I spread the word.  Please check out my website, www.lbri.com/sedonaheather 

Today, I would like to share what I get delivered to stay well. Having Stage IVB Colon Cancer has been a blessing. I do not take life for granted. I live 4 today and cherish each and every moment because we are not promised tomorrow. I am human though and have bad days, but I really try to find the positive in that moment. It is not always easy, but I try. So, as I share, this is what I take. It may not be for you and you should always consult a physician. 
1. 2 drops of Frankincense/Turmeric and Myrrh oil on my tongue twice a day (Morning/Night) - they also have a pill option. It's Magi-Complex http://shop.organixx.com/?a_bid=fd4823cf&chan=APsp&a_aid=5ba3b37e9c79d 

2.Next, I take supplements daily. All of these I take one a day. 
Bosmeric-SR - http://www.bosmeric-sr.com 
Tumeric and Multi Vitamin  http://shop.organixx.com/?a_bid=fd4823cf&chan=APsp&a_aid=5ba3b37e9c79d  
CoQ10+ - http://www.melaleuca.com  I am a member here. You can get this at most vitamin stores, I just prefer it from melaleuca.  If you take a look and want to join, let me know. Totally no pressure. 

3. Colon Hydrotherapy w/Coffee. I do this once a month, it detoxes your colon and the coffee helps to stimulate/detox your liver.  Just google Colon Hydrotherapy and you should find a therapist who does this in your city. 

4. Infared Sauna - This treatment was the defining moment for me. Once I knew I was going to stop chemo and all the drugs, I knew withdrawal was inevitable. WIth that being said, I started the Infared sauna at that time. I did the started package, 7 days in a row for 40 minutes at 140 degrees. Wow! I NEVER EVER had withdrawal from the pain, anxiety or depression meds I had been on for over 3 years.   

5. I am a vegetarian. No meat for me. 

6. Smoothies when you can. Best with dark green produce (Kale, Collard greens)  

7. Juice

8. Stay Positive.

9. I drink Ice Green Tea every day with NO SUGAR. 

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. 
Have a beautiful week.

Stay Safe and Healthy!

There is so much negativity going on in our world today. Something like I have never ever seen. There have been times when I see myself getting angry and yelling at the TV for something out of my control. I have learned that the only thing I can change is ME.  I cannot let this negativity rule me. I live 4 today because tomorrow is never promised to us.  I try my best in every situation to do the right thing. I try to pay it forward. I try to be a good mom. That is who I am. 
This is a photo of Cathedral Rock in Sedona, AZ. That is my happy place. It is a very spiritual place with lots and lots and lots of overwhelming calmness. When I start to feel myself get uptight, I think of Sedona. This very spot in the photo is a place that I frequent often when I visit. I lay on the ground and look up to the heavens and just meditate. You can feel the ground tremble, you can feel the vortex surround you, you can feel your higher spiritual being talk to you.  I embrace it. Closing my eyes, taking deep breaths and just being in the moment calms me. We should all do this with whatever your happy place is. 
Have a blessed week.  

There is so much going on in our world today and then in an instant, in addition to all of it, you are diagnosed with cancer. When you talk to someone who can relate, it makes the diagnosis easier. I understand exactly what a person who has been diagnosed with cancer is going through. I can tell you what your friends will say and do. I can tell you how your family will respond to the news. I can help you through this difficult time.  We can talk about the steps needed to stay positive, the steps to decide what you would like to do about treatment. It really is all about you.

In the meantime, I frequent a website that I attribute to saving my life, please check it out for more information. www.thetruthaboutcancer.com There are so many resources on this website.  Here is a photo of me when I was diagnosed and me in 2017. I pretty much look the same, however, I have a bit more gray in my hair. LOL 

I have been researching lots of products and I want to be able to share all of my finds because what I have found to work is what I use. Anything I share with you on my blog is what I use on a daily basis. Let's take L'Bri. This skincare is amazing. It is aloe based instead of water based. Take a look at the products. I am going to do videos on exactly how I use them and show you how powerful they are. This is a photo of me over summer 2020 and I am 49 years old.  Check out the products at www.lbri.com/sedonaheather 

Regular massage therapy sessions provide considerable advantages beyond the usual relaxation everyone knows about. People who experience high levels of stress have the tendency to get ill more than others. When you combine stress with a lack of sleep and inadequate nourishment, your body immune system's capability to shield itself against germs and infection is substantially reduced.
 
So the question is: What are the benefits of massage therapy on the body’s immune system?
 
Studies have actually shown that regular massages aren’t just to assist in relieve anxiety. Massages can actually raise the immune system's cytotoxic capacity and minimize the number of T-cells, which overall boosts the body’s immune system. Massage therapy is excellent in aiding to bring blood and nutrients to the affected location to fix the soft tissue. Massage therapy also can assist in separating scar tissue and keeping the muscle mass supple so not much scar tissue forms in the first place.
 
By boosting blood circulation while loosening up the muscle mass, massage therapy can help the body pump much more oxygen and nutrients right into tissues and essential organs. This allows the surgical rehabilitating areas to become much more adaptable and heal at a faster rate. Other advantages of massage therapy include:
 

• Boost immunity by stimulating lymph flow-- the body's all-natural protection system.
• Assist professional athletes, on any level, in recuperating from an exhausting workout
• Reduce post-surgery adhesions and swelling
• Lower spasms and cramping.
• Relax and relax damaged, tired, and tired muscles.
• Launch endorphins (amino acids that work as the body's natural pain reliever)
• Relieve migraine headache pain
• Improve the condition of the body's largest organ—the skin
• Help ease labor for mothers-to-be
• Ease medication dependence
