From The Editor's Desk

Welcome to another edition of my weekly blog. I haven't been able to write my blog as I used to because different events are going on as we speak.

I came back from Lima-Peru my dear country whicch I love very much; I went there because I am one of the winners of The Peruvian Pride Award 2011. I have to admit that those were the best days I have ever spent in Lima, I was able to do several things at the same time; which is kind of normal for those who know me here in America but it was the first time I ever do something like that there.

I scheduled important appointments in radio & TV, I even organized The First Business Card Exchange/ Networking Event in Lima that I ever thought possible. I was also able invite people from different businesses includying Tourism, Plastic Artists, Graphic Designers and more. I also introduced another project of mine; to launch my own magazine with distribution in the United States and Peru at the same time.

I cannot believe it is Christmas time already, seem that time really flew and it is time to be with the family and to be thankful for all the blessings we received during 2011 and also it is time to start working on our game plan for the upcoming year. 2012 has to be better than this one and remember that we are the architect of our destiny.

I invite you to become our Facebook fan and I want to thank you for reading my weekly blog and specially for sharing it with your friends and relatives. This information is FREE of charge like always and its sole purpose is to keep you informed about our products, services so you can live a healthier and longer life. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Until next week.

Tell Us…What is the Greatest Gift Shaklee has Given You?

At Shaklee, during the holiday season and always, our goal as a Shaklee Family is to share the gifts that Shaklee brings into our lives and all the ways that we give something valuable back to the people who mean something to us.

Our Shaklee Family has continuously inspired us through the years with their stories of success and their generous spirit toward others. We’d love for you to tell us how having a Shaklee business has made a difference in your life and / or enabled you to improve the lives of others. Whether achieving better health, weight loss, being able to afford what you thought you never could, finding your "dream career," spending more time with family or kids or being able to give back something valuable in your community and beyond, tell us about the greatest gift Shaklee has given you.

Keep in mind that the holidays are a natural time to talk with people about Shaklee, and now more than ever it’s important to share your Shaklee story with everyone. Take this time to spread hope and joy, inspire others, and continue to support Shaklee's mission – making a difference in the lives of people through their actions.

Christmas Special

Asking The Expert: Joanne Larson~Master Coordinator, Illinois

After taking a break from actively growing her Shaklee business to pursue her passion for horses, Joanne Larson was inspired to grow her Shaklee business to Master Coordinator after attending the 2008 Global Conference in New Orleans and learning about Vivix®. Check out her story!I started my Shaklee business in 1971 and once I reached the rank of Key Coordinator, I decided to turn my attention to pursuing my childhood dream of training and showing horses before I got too old!

When I turned 60, I achieved one of the top prizes in the equestrian sport by earning my United States Dressage Federation Gold Medal for Grand Prix dressage on a horse I trained myself. Having accomplished that goal, I began to turn back to Shaklee. We liked the vision that Roger had for the company and my son and his wife were urging me to make the push to Master. I wasn't sure I wanted to work that hard again but our kids convinced us to go to the Global Conference where Vivix was launched and that did it! After seeing the science behind Vivix and seeing the giddy excitement of the scientists, I knew that with this fabulous product I now had a vehicle for growth that I could get excited about.As soon as we got home from Conference I talked to everyone and began calling all my customers and sales group.

We couldn't get Vivix fast enough and thanks to the excitement generated in our group for Vivix, we made Master Coordinator in three months.Our customers have continued to use Vivix ever since it came out. We even have customers who aren’t interested in our other wonderful products, but love Vivix. I think Vivix is the best product Shaklee has ever developed and has the widest appeal. People can claim to eat right even if they don't, but no one can drink 3000 glasses of wine a day! Go Vivix!

Another Successful Presentation

Last Month we were able to have another successful presentation of Health & Wellness with Shaklee in North Bergen, New Jersey. We have to be thankful to each and every person who approached our Shaklee booth, for their questions, suggestions and Shaklee orders as well.

All the exhibitors at Saint Rocco were celebrating Christmas with the attendees; we were able to share upcoming presentations in different areas, it's always nice to see our regular Sint Rocco's people at other events. We are thankful for that.

We are looking forward to see you at our next presentation is on January 8th 2012
