Mission Statement from Zaxby's

2010-10-20T04:36:00.000-07:00

This morning early, I began the task of cleaning out my wallet. If you could see my wallet, you may understand the task involved. I have about three zipper compartments that I literally cram all my receipts in whether it's from Elements Coffee or the exchange certificates from the Bank of China in Beijing, China. They are all there. At least dating back to mid February when I was out on Las Vegas for a trade show. (there is a point to this blog). I just glanced at a Zaxby's receipt and clued in to the mission statement that they have printed on each receipt.

It says "Consistently Create Encore Experiences that Enrich Lives, One Person at A Time"! How cool is that, to have that type of mission statement coming from a chicken restaurant. Very simply stated with no chicken involved. I love it! I'm so glad that I took the time this morning to catch it on as I briskly sorted and tossed little mounds of slips of paper. I would like to try and continue my week with their mission in mind as I journey throughout the day. So as I begin to wrestle around and get ready for a fun-filled day of passionate things I do, I will implement my works with Zaxby's in mind, to others that gently cross my path. See yesterdays's blog on the four letter word...WORK..www.lorisholidaynews.blogspot.com
Have a day full of blessings and gratitude...

Power Balance Bracelets on the Way....

2010-10-03T04:50:00.000-07:00

These Bracelets promise amazing results!

Unlike many other ionic electro-magnetic devices, the Power Balance Holographic Disks begin to work almost instantly, restoring optimal electro-magnetic balance and promoting free flowing energy pathways… NO PROMISES, JUST RESULTS.

The benefits are clear: faster synaptic response (brain function), enhanced muscle response (in both fast and slow twitch tissues), increased stamina (better oxygen uptake and recovery), more flexibility (faster recovery) and vastly improved gravitational balance.

Sound too good to be true??

These bracelets are worn by all people. Everyone from professional Surfers, Golfers, and Football players to your average 65 year old American has benefited from the amazing results of the Power Balance. If you are still a skeptic, here is some technology.

I personally have been wearing mine a week and find a big difference in my flexibility range when doing yoga in the mornings.. Lori Cannon

Your Body Is a Big Battery

Everyone’s body is essentially a complex set of electro-chemical processes, a series of organic chemicals generating electro-magnetic energy.

Every time your lungs inhale and exhale air, your heart beats, your brain thinks, your arms and legs move, a series of electrical impulses originate and travel through the body.

The totality of our existence depends on the efficient exchange and balance of positive and negative electrical charges called ions.

Even on a Molecular Level… Your Body Is Generating an Electrical Field

Hundreds of recent and historical medical and scientific studies have documented the electrical forces at work within the body and the influence internal and external factors have on the efficient transference of electro-chemical exchanges.

The human “battery” is both an extremely efficient machine in its purest state and extremely fragile. Both internal factors such as stress, illness and injury as well as external factors such as proximity to natural and man-made electrical forces interfere and corrupt this process.

The ideal human frequency, called the Schumann Resonating Frequency (SRF), is approximately 7.8 hertz.

Maintaining the Grid Is Vital

As with all electrical transmission systems, efficiently generating and transferring the energy throughout the body is essential for wellbeing. Interference, blockages and imbalances along the grid carrying the energy occur on a daily basis and can originate from both inside the body and out.

Energy Balance & Systemic Harmony Are the Keys

Optimal health and peak performance occur when your body maintains ionic balance (the exchange between negative and positive charges) and free flowing energy pathways (harmony) at the optimum frequency.

Eastern medicine tapped this concept thousands of years ago when health practitioners researched, mapped and developed treatments based on the body’s natural energy pathways. Disciplines such as acupuncture, acupressure and Reiki therapy often produce phenomenal results because of these fundamental biophysical principals.

Now You Can Restore Balance & Harmonic Equilibrium… With a New “Switch”

Power Balance after years of research and development, has produced a system to safely restore and optimize the electro-magnetic balance within the human body… IMMEDIATELY.

POWER BALANCE’S Mylar Holographic Disk (the same substance used to keep static electricity from damaging electrical components) has been imbedded with an electrical frequency that restores your body’s electrical balance, promoting a free exchange of positive and negative ions and align your body’s energy pathways.

The high density Disk acts much like a switch, resonating within your system and turning on your energy field while it clears the pathways so the electro-chemical exchange functions like the well-tuned generator it was designed to be.

When the static Power Balance Hologram comes in contact with your body’s energy field, it begins to resonate in accordance with each individual’s biological, creating a harmonic loop that optimizes your energy field and maintains maximum energy flow while clearing the pathways so the electro-chemical exchange functions like the well- tuned generator.

These wrist bands produce amazing results!!

The Power Balance bracelets will be arriving at The Bus Station and Grow Drug Company, Colquitt, GA in the next 10 days. Call and get your name on the list. We have a limited shipment arriving and will sell out fast. Bracelets will retail for $14.95. Local chiropractors charge as much as $35 for these bracelets. We will gladly ship bracelets for an additional $5.

Thanks!

We fluctuate, give and take, ebb and flow, put things on the back-burner; only to bring things back, FULL STEAM AHEAD...Does this sound familiar to anyone? I can procrastinate like the best of them and then as the deadline approaches, develop a calm state that even scares me after the fact....My days have been busy here at The Bus Station and developing my new business; Visalus Sciences.www.visalus.com. As Napoleon Hill said"When the student is ready, the teacher will appear." Well apparently, I was ready and I'm learning fast and furious everyday. I'm loving the business, meeting new people and that's really what it's all about. Not to mention dropping a few pounds, losing inches and getting healthier every step of the way..It makes my heart dance when I can hear another success story realizing that the products that I represent are making a difference in someone's life. I achieved the "Rising Star" status which was actually kind of nice to receive a certificate in the mail along with two achievement pins. It reminds me of my days of old when I worked for a company in PA in the late 80's that sold mobile phones or as we call them today, our lifeline cell phone. Anyway, there were many perks, pins, certificates, plaques, trips and so on..but then something wonderful happened. I became a Mother and all that kind of got tossed aside and was able to become a stay at home Mom to two beautiful daughters; 19 years later, my sales experience back in full swing, I continue... on this journey of wellness, turning people on to an amazing product. It's been an overwhelming month and looking forward to each day with anticipation and gratefulness.

My certificate for Rising Star/Director.

Welcome Back Paddywacks..(Even Though You Never Left)

2010-08-24T17:05:00.000-07:00

Monday was Monday - Funday! I got to take the rig over to Albany, GA and haul a load and pick up a load at our Favorite Hangout ~ Livi and Company. My daughter and I were on our own journey. Now, she lives in Panama City Beach and works in Pier Park at a retail establishment as assistant manager. She has to do floor sets for the store and I simply forgot how wonderful that could work as she magically undecorated and redecorated my booth. I was amazed. She said I was too "junked up" and not pleasing to the eye and so she went to town. I would have still been there, 24 hours later, had I not had her to fluff things up. So we then hauled a load of Paddywacks's One of a Kind, eclectic, funky furniture back to our neck of the woods...

Made from old door with mirror and hooks. Perfect for any little spot that needs some attention.

Three Chair Table - Perfect to go behind a couch or anywhere for that fact of the matter

Bar Table with Stools - Base of stool is old tire rim ~ Love this!

The Flavor of Florida's Fogotten Coast ~ Tupelo Honey.

2010-07-09T12:07:00.000-07:00

Tupelo honey is produced from the Tupelo gum tree which grows profusely along the Chipola and Apalachicola rivers of northwest Florida. Here in the river swamps, this honey is produced in a unique fashion. Bees are placed on elevated platforms along the river's edge, from which, during April and May they fan out through the surrounding Tupelo-blossom-laden swamps and return with their precious treasure. This river valley is the only place in the world where Tupelo Honey is produced commercially.

Real Tupelo honey is light amber in color, light golden with a greenish cast. The flavor is delicious, distinctive, a choice table honey! Good white Tupelo, unmixed with other honeys, will not granulate. Due to the high levulose content and low dextrose ratio diabetic patients have been permitted by their physicians to eat Tupelo honey. Average analysis: Levulose 44.03%, dextrose 29.98%....

The Tupelo Honey we carry here at The Bus Station in Colquitt, GA is the original Tupelo Honey from the Apalachicola River in Northwest FL...Please feel free to contact us about purchasing..Our 32 Oz. retails for $16.95 plus shipping and handling....Call us at 229-758-2646. If we don't answer, leave a message and we will call you back!

I personally love it in hot tea, cereal, smoothies and anything that calls for sugar...It just makes you feel good all over....You Gotta Try it to Love it~
All Aboard!
