My Sister’s Keeper and my Mother’s Spirit

HEALTHY LIVING

Latest Product I'm trying out:

So today I started on the Nuriche ReVIVE and Live products. One is a powder drink and the other is a capsule full of all kinds of vitamins etc. The powder has all the goodness of 30 fruits and 30 veggies. That may be true, but it was pretty yucky tasting. I think tomorrow morning I may try to mix it in the blender with ice and a banana. The pills are intended to be a replacement of caffeine, but is all natural. They claim it is CrashFree energy. I am so excited to try it! Two others have tried it and said they didn't feel anything until the 2^nd day, so I'm not worried that I haven't noticed anything as of yet after only a couple of hours. But I will really be putting this product to the ultimate test. I am always SO dragging all day long. I am tired not only in the afternoon, but in the morning, so if this works I will sing its praises forever!

My Experience So Far:

I took the pills and the drink at 9:17 AM this morning. I did feel a slight bit of energy about an hour later, but nothing to write home about! I still needed my Diet Coke. I will be interested to see if tomorrow or later things change at all.

Future Endeavors:

This afternoon I have a call with the GoWear Fit lady from BodyMedia. From what I have researched it is identical to the Bodybugg. So I think I will write up a review for the BodyBugg first, then do one for GoWear Fit and perhaps do a comparison review. I am excited for this one truly.

I also will be reviewing Jeremy's new training business and will most likely do that the month of August. So it has been so much fun! Last night I did an article for Corporate Games. I forwarded it to my work and am hoping that we sign up for it. So much fun if you have never tried it out. Send this link to your HR for full details! There are about 40 events to choose from and there is everything from soccer, baseball, to bowling. So there is something for everyone! Its such a great way to come together as a company and show your pride for the company and boost morale while promoting healthy living! Ok anyway blah blah blah.

I have so many other ideas in the future like the cardiac diet and maybe even the HCG that is one of the latest crazes.

MY SISTER'S KEEPER/MOTHER'S SPIRT

 

My Sister's Keeper:

(Click here to watch the trailer)

My friend Lisa the Winner is always finding great deals on things and movie tickets and such. She has this incredible knack for it. Anyway a bunch of us went to see My Sister's Keeper. Oh man seriously, this is why I wish I did movie reviews sometimes. I don't think any words could do this movie justice though. It was seriously incredible and moving. Cameron Diaz as the mother was incredible. I have never seen her act better. The two young girls in it our also amazing. If not for this movie, these 2 will be getting significant awards one day. Abigail Breslin is the sister's "keeper". She has already been in tons of films. You may remember her from "Signs" and "Little Miss Sunshine". A_M_A_Z_I_N_G! And then also Sofia Vassilieva is seriously incredible as the little girl with cancer. You may recognize her as the young woman from the tv show "Medium".

Its one of those movies where the acting, the writing, and the story is just so fantastic that you find yourself in a trance and get so swept up that you forget it's a movie! I'm not sure that I have ever cried so much my entire life, so be prepared for that. Don't wear eyeliner and stuff your purse with tissues!

I don't know anyone personally who has gone through cancer, but I really felt the realness of the situation. It breaks your heart as you see the happy moment's of this girl's life but then when she is throwing up or bleeding from her nose. I have never had a movie tug at the heart-strings quite as this movie did.

Mother's Spirit:

As I was driving home from the movie I just had this indescribable experience. I kept thinking of the dedication of the mother in the movie, and it reminded me of my own mother who died when I was 14. I have only felt my mother at certain occasions and not very frequently, so I live for these moments.

I just felt this overwhelming impression of things she wanted to say to me. I never heard a voice or anything, but I felt so close to her, it was incredible.

I felt how proud she is of me and understands the mistakes I've made. I know she loves Adam and has had a hand in all of our lives, me and my sister's. I just felt so strongly her love and affection and pride in us, even though we have been far from perfect.

I know she watches over us and helps from the other side honestly. I felt like she was warning me in a sense as well to enjoy life and not stress so much. I think I have a lot of things in common with her.

I just felt he love and approval in a way I have needed for so long. It was an incredible experience to say the least.
