New Year. New Ways of Being.
Hello Sunshine,

How are you? I am hopeful that the year is off to a great start; that you are in good health and keeping safe. Personally, I feel energized, refreshed, and intently looking forward to what’s to come in 2021.
The New Year typically begins with a list of things we must do. For example Diet, Exercise, Save Money; Living your best life. While these are certainly great goals to accomplish, studies show that 80 percent of people drop them by the second week of February. I’m willing to bet that quick-fix methods fell apart, which lead to people’s frustrations and subsequent ditching of plans. I’m also willing to bet the methods fell apart because people didn’t change their habits and where there is no habit change, lifestyle remains consistent.

This issue focuses our attention on who we must become to receive and sustain our desired outcomes for the year. In the intro video above, I shared my thoughts on setting intentions for the year and identifying ourselves with our desires. In my opinion, identification takes our attention away from doing and focuses our attention on being. And when we are focused on who we are being, what we must do will naturally follow.

For example, if I identify myself as a person that lives a healthy lifestyle. Then I must align and commit to establishing healthy habits that turn into behaviors that last! I must set up conditions for inevitable success so that my new behaviors become my way; it’s simply what I do.

If you need help with establishing healthy habits, this newsletter offers resources. Here are a few items for consideration: Feeling stuck with your meal planning routine? Check out the practical solutions/resources in the cooking section. Also, I invite you to hangout with me and my guest co-host LIVE in my kitchen on Friday, February 12, check the watch section for more details. If you are in need of support with taking action steps or a loving nudge when you are falling off track, check out The Total Transformation Breakthrough Program in the lifestyle section. While you’re there, check out our new brand partners and special offers for community members like you. 

Speaking of community members, I cannot express enough gratitude for those of you that supported the launch of my first cookbook/storybook. Even with the best of intentions and planning, I did not foresee some of the obstacles that were presented; obstacles that delayed production and shipping. Yet and still, you remained patient, loving, and understanding. For this, I'm eternally grateful.

As a final reminder, my continued thoughts and prayers of health and safety are with you and yours. Until next time!

Many Blessings,
2021 A fresh new start. Just for you!
