WORK BACKGROUND:
Executive Assistant, I’d take minutes at Board meetings in Health Care, from 11:00 am to 9:00 pm, with just a short break for dinner… and then have to type up all the Committee and Board minutes. I worked with CEOs, Boards, and Directors, for about 25 years, in Health Care, government jobs.

During this time, I also taught computer classes part-time, and taught Doctors and Nurses how to use the computer.

In 1996 I was introduced to Sunrider whole food nutritionals and that is when my part-time evening and weekend sharing of these products became my passion. In 2003 I was able to quit my full-time J.O.B. (Just Over Broke) and start working from home, as a WAHM (Work At Home Mom).

TRAVEL BACKGROUND:
I have traveled to and lived in several countries – including London, England; Switzerland; Honolulu, Hawaii; San Francisco, California; and Canada – beautiful Vancouver, BC, Canada, where I live now.

LIFE-LONG EDUCATION BACKGROUND:

In 1969 I took Computer Programming — yes, yes, that was way back then, when computers took up whole rooms!

I studied meditation and yoga in the 1970s in Switzerland, and taught these stress-reducing techinques, as well as working full-time in office work. I had the privilege of working under Dr. Paul Bragg (world-famous Naturopath and Life-Extension Specialist) in Honolulu, Hawaii, in the mid 1970s, and he provided me with a scholarship to obtain my Naturopath Certification, which I received in 1980. I have taken countless courses in vegan, vegetarian, raw food, herbs and other healthy lifestyle modalities.

LIFE PLAN *
What is the Meaning of Life?

This may be a strange question… but for me that question intrigued me from the time I was 15 years old. I now have a lot more wisdom, which only comes from time and experience, and I am so happy with my life, it is unbelievable. All my dreams are coming true, though there have been many bumps on the way. For me, the answer to What is the Meaning of Life? – is – to love and be loved. This isn’t the place for philosophical discussions, but the biggest gift for living my life with meaning, is being grateful. Gratitude makes life wonderful.

My Basic Vision of Life:

I embrace life, and have often rushed in head first. (I knew my first husband 7 weeks before we got married… I knew my third husband 5 months before we got married). Don’t come to me for relationship advice!

My identity is never frozen. Freedom for myself and others is a huge driving factor within me.

I take responsibility for creating a happy, meaningful life for myself.

Character Strengths:

My greatest character strengths include:

  • Open-Mindedness
  • Love of Learning
  • Persistence
  • Kindness
  • Gratitude
  • Spirituality

My Core Values:

My Life gets meaning from my Core Values. My Core Values include:

  • Affection (love and caring)
  • Family and Friendships
  • Growth
  • Inner Harmony
  • Integrity
  • Freedom

Also of importance to me, but not in my Top 6 – are: Change & Variety, Cooperation, Economic Security, Independence, Serenity

My Most Important Life Goals:

Moral Goals:
Respect people’s diverse ways of being.
Put myself in other people’s shoes.
Do work that has a positive impact on individual people and society in general.

Spiritual Goals:
Meditate and keep a Gratitude Journal, on my own personal path to inner peace, harmony, serenity and enlightenment.

Health Goals:
“A healthy mind can only be found in a healthy body.” – Nelson Mandala
“Health isn’t everything but everything is nothing without health”
My most important life goal includes pursuing all that enhances health in every way – spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical – and sharing with others who are ready, the answers that I find.

Relationship Goals:
I love meeting new people (“a stranger is just a friend I haven’t met yet”) – and I value and treasure the many wonderful friends I have in my life. Family is very important to me, and I am so fulfilled with having close and loving connections with family. I surround myself with positive people, and join groups that have positive lifestyles as the foundation.

Leisure Goals:
I enjoy swimming, aquafit, yoga, walking, traveling, reading, movies, appreciating nature, taking photos, music, concerts (like Stevie Wonder), TV (like Oprah), visiting with family and friends, eating Thai and other ethnic food.

Economic Goals:
My Economic Goal is to always be “abundant” – In 2002 I took Millionaire Mind Intensive with Harv Eker and learned that one of my ways of being (my Financial Blueprint) was “Easy Come, Easy Go” – that is great, in terms of I have often done well financially, but the “Easy Go” part – I need to work on!

I did struggle through a lot of hard times financially, as a single parent, with 2 sons. I was always the main wage-earner even when I was married. Going through my third divorce almost left me bankrupt and I had to work back from the brink of disaster in 1998. Ten years later – I am happy to say that my life is wonderful.

I worked in administrative/support positions in government and health care for 25 years. I loved my jobs as Executive Assistant, until the last few years, when it became very political, and stressful. Luckily by then, 2005 – I had built up a substantial income from my part-time Sunrider business, and was able to leave the hospital, and stay home as a WAHM (Work At Home Mom). I love being my own boss, and working over the internet and phone.

My goal is to continue to provide myself and my family with a great, abundant living. My biggest goal right now is to help my son who is 20, and has started College. I had not saved up for education for my sons (not easy, being a single parent ) – and now I want to be able to help him. Also, I am in a position to help my Mom, who is 89 and living on a fixed income.

* I want to acknowledge my son’s Philosophy Instructor – Kurt Preinsperg, PhD. who sent home an assignment for the class to complete “MY LIFE PLAN” I got so excited that I have spent today putting my background and Life Plan together. Thank you, Gabe and Kurt, for this motivation to do this!
