WHERE SHE GETS HER RISK-TAKING SPIRIT
That still small voice always saying, "Now or never"
EVER THINKS ABOUT FAILURE Yes. think that it's not an option. It should really be referred to as "a learning experience."
HOW SHE DEFINES SUCCESS Having no regrets and finding the courage to move forward from your "learning experiences"

MOST THANKFUL FOR My children and life itself
WHAT SHE LOVES ABOUT LIVING IN RESTON I love the diversity here, socially and in the business sector. The entertainment in this area is well suited for singles, couples, teens and families. Loudoun and Fairfax county school systems are a couple of the best in the nation. My location puts me in the middle of most major cities/states in the northeast and a few in the south, e.g. New York, Philly, Jersey, Baltimore, D.C., North Carolina.

Make a Natural N.E.W. S.T.A.R.T.!
"W" is for "Water"
Our bodies are about 70-75% water, so proper water drinking is critical for optimal health. Here are a few tips and info bites:
 #1 - Among the many benefits of water drinking are hydration of hair and skin, system detoxification, protection and moisturization of joints and nutrient absorption by vital organs.
#2 - Fruit juices, sugary drinks, sweetened coffee and tea, and soda are not adequate subsitutes for clear, pure water. If these are a regular part of your diet, replace one of them with water every day until the majority of your fluid intake is water.
#3 - Because water dilutes the digestive fluids that break down food in your stomach, avoid drinking large amounts of water within one hour before or less than 30 minutes after eating a meal. This maximizes the digestive process because the digestive fluids are at their highest concentration and strength.
#4 - If you're having trouble remembering to drink water throughout the day, set repeating electronic calendar reminders or mobile phone alarms at spaced intervals to alert you to drink your water. Another effective method is to set time-constrained water-drinking goals, such as always drinking two bottles of water before you leave work for the day.
#5 - A good rule of thumb (but not an exact scientific calculation) for how much water to drink is to divide your weight in pounds by 2 and drink that many ounces of water daily. So a 130-pound person would drink about 65 ounces of water daily. Also, the old "eight 8-ounce glasses of water daily" guide still has value, although you may find that this amount is not sufficient for your body.
STAY TUNED for our next issue when we learn about the "S" in N.E.W. S.T.A.R.T.!
