Are you experiencing some of these health issues? Migraines, foggyness, memory loss, join pain, hair loss, cold hands and feet, fatigue, depression?
I'm writing this because it may help others who have experienced the same health issues regarding their thyroid.
I have struggled with thyroid issues for many years and took prescription synthroid for over 30 years up until about three years ago when I started to see a holistic doctor and started on natural medicine for my thyroid. After taking synthroid for all these years my bone density showed osteopenia.
For three years it was an up hill battle and for at least the last two years in 2007 and 2008 I became very seriously ill almost to the point of walking with a cain!
Thank God my income is residual because there were a lot of times that I was not able to work for many weeks and sometimes could barely get out of bed.
My memory was fading, sometimes I could barely speak or get words out of my mouth. It was like dementia! I was aging very quickly right in front of my family. My husband and two sons were very concerned as were family and friends.
I saw three different holistic doctors who put me on various nutritional supplements and they would help for awhile and then I would spiral down again. Sometimes with horrible pain in my joints so bad that I was taking showers ever thirty minutes just to relieve the pain! My hair was falling out and my skin was was shriveling up and very dry, debilitating migraines, memory loss, foggy, fatigue, depression.
Finally about two months ago I discovered that there was a medical doctor here close to where we live that ordered all of my blood work once again. He said that my TSH levels were higher than he had ever seen - 154+! My iron was also low which could also explain some of the fatigue.
He put me on Amour Thyroid and within two weeks I was feeling so much better! My hair stopped falling out and I started to think better. I've been on Amour thyroid now for over two months and still feeling better than I have in years!
Now that I have finally found something that has helped, it appears that Amour may be banned by the FDA!
We must speak out and stop this maddness! Our health care industry is in serious trouble as it is! People are sick and dying! We do not need the government telling us what we can and cannot take to build up our health!
Here's a link to Dr. Andrew Jones website - he is a medical doctor that teaches more about thyroid issues -

Social Media Marketing Tips
Social Media marketing tips from my good friend and mentor Doug Fireball -see his website link below too for some awesome passion fire training and be sure to become friends on Facebook, see links below!
The Power of the GREAT UNDERSTANDING in Social Media Marketing
Share
It was all over the place recently at the blogworld expo
convention.
It was ROCKING HOT.
People tweeting about it, blogging about it, sending mobile
uploads, podcasting live, ustreaming about it.
What a great event and I love las vegas and the climate. But also
the greatest part of it was the education that someone could learn
from it.
I would suggest that you get on the bandwagon and be there next
year. Scott Monty was there. The founders of twitter. Many
different Directors of social media was here for many fortune 500
companies.
And Scott was even interviewed on CNN about the social media
revolution. GO Scott! How about Chris Brogan? And all the speakers
there? it was an AMAZING chance to learn and grow in social media.
Why am I telling you this?
Simple.
Social media is FOR REAl.
And it is happening bigger and grander than you could ever imagine.
And it is in its infancy. If you have a traditional business or
even a home business, you need to understand what i call the GREAT
UNDERSTANDING of Social Media.
The Train is getting ready to leave the station and if you are not
on it, you will be left behind and playing catch up for a long
time.
Twitter. facebook. Youtube. LinkedIn. Stumbleupon. Wordpress.
Help.com. Digg.com Ping.fm. Mybloglog.com And the list is 3,5OO
sites strong.
Get in social media.
Get ON THE TRAIN (and stay there everyday. Not just every once in
while. It MUST be daily.)
Get in the conversation.
Get out of the ancient thinking.
And GET WITH the rest of the folks who do get it and start looking
to social media as an incredible way to market, communicate, build
relationships, get your message out, and connect with your market.
Understand these 5 Great things:
1) Video Communicationis taking over the web and marketing. It is
the new TV station. You MUST adjust and start video marketing with
a relentless focus as video will soon be the new billboards on the
internet highway. Get you a flip video camera and GO.
2) Blog communicationis the new way people look for articles and in
many respects, it is the new newspaper. If you do not blog, then
you are not in the coming mainstream media or power communication.
Put your thoughts on a blog and rock the world.
3) Social Nedworkingis the new way people shake hands initally and
get to know each other. We all have networked, but this is
networking on steriods. You MUST become good at it, and help others
become good at it. This alone will explode your business and
income.
4) Podcast communcation is the new radio. Get yourself on
blogtalkradio as well as other podcast sites and make sure that you
do this weekly. It can drive traffic to you like a tsunami. Become
a radio personality like my friend Tom Chenault. It is a GREAT way
to get your message out.
5) Social Bookmarking is the new way to organize and publicize your
marketing efforts and content. You have heard of digg.com, and
reddit.com. Use them daily and befriend folks as they will help get
your message out in a more powerrful and exposure soaked way..
Do NOT miss thie train. It is geting ready, like a bullet, to leave
the station folks.
Social Media marketing is amazing tool. Be amazing with it in your
social media blueprint.
COMING SOON...the hottest Social Media Marketing training project
is launching January 15, 2010.

The Time To Connect Is NOW!
When is the right time to make a connection with someone to share with them about your business and/or your products?
When is the right time to make the connection with people who find you through the internet and leads you generate from the Internet? What about just letting the "system" do it all for us?
What's the best time to call and introduce ourselves and make a connection with people?
There's no time like the present! The time to connect with people is always right NOW! Whether it's a lead from your website or someone you meet in town while at the post office, at the grocery store, at your kids sports events, or at your favorite restaurant. At some point you've got to pick up the phone and connect with people if you're going to be in business.
Introduce yourself, share your story and most importantly listen to their story! As you listen to people share their story, find out how you can help them.
Even if someone already has a business they may be happy with at the time, listen to why and make the connection anyway because you never know what will happen. Someday they just might be looking again. When they are they'll most likely connect with you because you took the time to connect with them and showed you cared by keeping in touch and connecting them with others who could help them.
Ask people how you can help them in their business. Who's a good client for them? Be on their side! Let them know you've got their back! Connect with them and they will connect with you!
Automation is great and it only takes this whole process so far to bring you people. Then it's up to you to take the connection a step further. Even with qualified people who actually may sign up right on your website before speaking with you, you're going to have to connect by speaking with them to start building a relationship if you plan to build a solid foundation in your business.
Wouldn’t you rather build your foundation on rock so it will last?
It's so important as you form alliances with people that you connect them to others within your inner circle of business leaders as well. Because the more people you connect together the more solid your business relationships become which will grow your business.
Stop sitting around waiting and wondering when the right time would be to make a connection with someone. You can always come up with a reason why it’s not the “right” time or why “not” to connect with people or even a certain person that you're too nervous to connect with because you feel they are more important than you.
Everyone loves to be connected with even the most important well connected person you may ever meet will want to connect with you! Why? Because they will love connecting you with others they know too! Just ask them for help or advice, you'll see. :)
You may have butterflies in your stomach or you’re feeling nervous, so what? That happens to everyone, even the most seasoned networkers!
There's never a wrong time to make a connection with people. Being nervous is natural. Never let anything stop you from making a connection because making connections with people are priceless when you keep their interest at heart!
Think about it this way, every person you connect with you have an opportunity to change their life in a very positive way! You have a chance to 'give' that person encouragement, hope, friendship and even possibly a partnership. These are all possibilities as you connect with people.
Some say we find the best fruit way out on a limb and you've got to take a risk to get it! I've got a photo of a beautiful beach with a Star Fish framed on my office wall that says 'Reach For The Stars They Are Closer Than You May Think!'.
So if you’ve got butterflies fluttering in your stomach, just jump in and as Nike says 'Just DO IT!' Go ahead and take the plunge! What’s the worse that can happen? By doing so you'll realize you've now become an entrepreneur! Entrepreneurs are always making connections! It’s how we survive!
Stop paralyzing yourself and your business by sitting like the dirt waiting for something to be put into it– pick up your phone or while you're out and about connect with someone! Even if it's just by 'giving' a stranger you see in the grocery store your smile! :) Send someone an uplifting card or email.
Encourage someone today! Give them hope! They are waiting for you to connect with them and to connect you with that special someone you may not have met otherwise!

The Perfect Storm
Copyright © 2008 by Sue Seward. All Rights Reserved.
(***You may copy this article using the attached bio below)
Who saw the movie with George Clooney, The Perfect Storm?
I do not mean to be insensitive to the people who went through a storm like Katrina. Believe me I know about hurricanes and storms. We have lived in the coastal area of Texas for eleven years and had to evacuate during Rita!
Let me share with you though that even though that was hard we took advantage of the situation to spend quality time with our family! We had no choice, we were in a car for 19 hours together! It's an event we will never forget! Thanks to the career I have built in Network Marketing my two sons are I are up in Austin now away from storms like hurricane Ike which recently flew through our town wrecking havoc, throwing trees around like toothpicks and shutting down the power for weeks down near Houston!
Now is a perfect time to expose your home based business opportunity to friends, family and everyone you meet because you never know who might be looking for an income producing business to add to their bottom line and you just might have the answer they’ve been searching for which is the perfect storm of opportunity.
Yes, you could hear ‘ no thank’ you. Just think though, in today’s financial crunch you might be surprised to hear a lot more YES’S!
You will never know though unless you expose your home based business to a lot of people before someone else does first.
Think about this too. The next time you are speaking with a friend, family member, lead or potential recruit, don't forget to share the income tax-reduction strategy. I have never met one person who has said they are not looking to save money on their taxes! Just ask people, would you like to save more money on your taxes this year and for the years to come? What would happen if you got sick? What would happen if your spouse got sick and could not work or you had a sick child or parent to care for? What would happen if you lost your job?
Everyone is focused on financial issues. We cannot go anywhere without someone complaining about the economy. Just pick up a copy of AARP!
As direct sales and/or network marketing professionals, we have a solution and it's nothing to be ashamed about. We have a message to deliver to people who are hurting in todays economy. It's like the perfect storm and we are the perfect industry to deliver the message of freedom to help people take back the American dream.
There seem to be more and more people lately over the age of 50 working at Walmart, Target or McDonalds. These people are working part-time jobs or they’ve been downsized, replaced by a younger wiper snapper and many have lost their retirement! Now that's a perfect storm opportunity where we as an industry can help these people get out of that situation.
We have a solution for helping more families improve their financial situation and the current economy (perfect storm) is a terrific reason to start a home business right now.
Were you are now is because of decisions you made 5 years ago, decisions you make right now will determine where you’ll be within the next 5 years. Where do you plan to be? In the same situation or in a place where you’ve achieved your dreams? I know where I plan to be! How about you?
It’s all a matter of choice that each person has to make for themselves. If things are going to change you must change and do it right now while the timing is perfect because no household can survive on two incomes in this day and time, let alone one.
Direct sales/Network Marketing is an income generating solution that will provide two more streams of income into the home without adding another wage earner, or requiring a member of the family to get a second or third job working for Walmart or McDonalds! Use the home based business income tax-reduction strategy as a recruiting tool to get people thinking about their present and long term future.
With a direct sales/network marketing, home party or home based business people will generate income through their compensation plan, as well as through the ability to deduct expenses they are already paying for from their taxes.
The home office deduction is a legal system of deducting part of your home expenses as business expenses. This creates additional cash flow in the home by reducing tax liabilities while generating income through commissions from the marketing company. (Be sure to check with your CPA/Accountant and while you’re at it why not expose them to your business, because you never know until you ask right? Remember be the messenger!)
Are you going to take advantage of the perfect storm or wait until the waves calm down?

What Does It Take To Become A Champion?
From the Home Office of Sue Seward
At Lake Travis in Austin Texas

What does it take to become a champion?
It's been a long road these last two years of nail biting, nerves, financial stress, emotions, courage, determination, persistence, goal setting, and now a victory that will lead to many more!
It certainly has not happened over night for our son James! This brave young man has climbed a huge mountain and has suffered defeat after defeat, as he was one of the late starters at the tennis academy at age 14. With each failure he's learned something new and has become stronger.
He started playing tennis at age 10 when he picked up a racket on vacation one summer at Gulf Shores in Alabama and said "mom and dad this is the sport I want to play" and then he decided he had a goal to play in college.
He started in Austin at the academy at age 14 where most of the players have been since age 8 or 9.
So he's had a lot of catching up to do not to mention losing about 30 lbs, growing about 4 inches and developing into a young humbled leader! The coaches say he's definitely been the underdog.
He has fought hard and realizes he still has a long ways to go! This is only one milestone. We saw him in tears last weekend after a devastating loss and about to give up. We encouraged him NOT to give in or give up on his goals or his dreams! He's come much too far to throw in the towel!
We reluctantly had to take him out of the tennis academy because it's extremely expensive. It was a heart wrenching decision yet is giving him the ability to try out for the Lake Travis Tennis team next week which his coaches and he feels is actually going to help him even more to develop into a well rounded tennis
player and leader.
We do however plan to get him BACK into the academy by second semester and will do whatever it takes to help him continue advancing in his tennis career! .
This past weekend he proved once again that's he's been a fighter ever since he was born almost 3 months early at 3 lbs! He's now 6' tall wearing size 14 shoes and has a heart bigger than Texas!

Georgetown Hosts Berry Creek ZAT; Seward Qualifies
This first weekend of August held the Berry Creek ZAT, hosted by Georgetown, Tx, a tournament open to all non-qualified junior players.
Representing ATA was James Seward in the boys' 16s red draw and MIkaela Pope in the girls' 16s white draw.
James Seward competed like a man on a mission this past weekend, winning his first three matches to earn Championship status in the USTA Texas Section. In his qualifying match he faced the number five seeded J. Quarderer, whom he took down 6-0, 6-1 to advance to the final round.
"James was a determined player this past weekend," Coach Collins said. "He competed well and accomplished an important goal."
Look for James to continue to succeed in the Champ qualified division, while Mikaela proved that she is surely not far behind.

So he's had a lot of catching up to do not to mention losing about 30 lbs, growing about 4 inches and developing into a young humbled leader! The coaches say he's definitely been the underdog.
He has fought hard and realizes he still has a long ways to go! This is only one milestone. We saw him in tears last weekend after a devastating loss and about to give up. We encouraged him NOT to give in or give up on his goals or his dreams! He's come much too far to throw in the towel!
We reluctantly had to take him out of the tennis academy because it's extremely expensive. It was a heart wrenching decision yet is giving him the ability to try out for the Lake Travis Tennis team next week which his coaches and he feels is actually going to help him even more to develop into a well rounded tennis
player and leader.
We do however plan to get him BACK into the academy by second semester and will do whatever it takes to help him continue advancing in his tennis career! .
This past weekend he proved once again that's he's been a fighter ever since he was born almost 3 months early at 3 lbs! He's now 6' tall wearing size 14 shoes and has a heart bigger than Texas!

Georgetown Hosts Berry Creek ZAT; Seward Qualifies
This first weekend of August held the Berry Creek ZAT, hosted by Georgetown, Tx, a tournament open to all non-qualified junior players.
Representing ATA was James Seward in the boys' 16s red draw and MIkaela Pope in the girls' 16s white draw.
James Seward competed like a man on a mission this past weekend, winning his first three matches to earn Championship status in the USTA Texas Section. In his qualifying match he faced the number five seeded J. Quarderer, whom he took down 6-0, 6-1 to advance to the final round.
"James was a determined player this past weekend," Coach Collins said. "He competed well and accomplished an important goal."
Look for James to continue to succeed in the Champ qualified division, while Mikaela proved that she is surely not far behind.

Creating Habits that can change your life for the better!
From the Home Office of Sue Seward
At Lake Travis in Austin Texas
Two years ago it was interesting to find out about being highly allergic to Gluten, wheat, barley, rye and oats.
It's a genetic auto-immune disorder called Celiac. There was a complete denial for two years thinking "oh yeah, watch me still eat gluten and wheat now and then, no need to change much, nooooo problem!"
What a rude awakening the journey has been! haha!
It's taken a real change of HABIT to turn a lifestyle around after a lifetime of drinking beer, eating pizza, bread, pasta, cheese burgers, chicken friend steak, fast food and start eating properly for good health OR ELSE according to our holistic doc who said Sue's gonna die if she does not change her HABITS!
Ok, that got my immediate attention!
Since changing those HABITS and lifestyle I'm not only feeling so much better, not as sick after eating a meal, and lost over 25 lbs, keeping it off and STILL eating foods I love above with some modifications to Gluten Free
AND we're all
eating a lot more healthy foods too like more fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, only made out of rice, potato and sorghum flours which I've actually come to love even better and these foods actually give you more energy and stamina and are much easier on your insides!
The big fat stomach issue is gone, I'm down over 3 pants sizes and feel better and better when not eating wheat or fast food, junk food, etc.
Changing habits has taken a lot of hard work, reading every label, having to buy a lot of GLUTEN FREE labeled foods, making homemade sauces and dressings, etc., and it's been difficult when out around other people, especially traveling when people do not understand that even just a little gluten can kill someone with this disorder. Even contaminated kitchens and food on a buffet can become ticking time bombs.
Once you do change and form good habits though you never want to go back to the old ones that slow you down and hold you back from success!
The whole family is wanting to eat this way now including our 16 year old athlete son who suggested this habit lifestyle change for himself!
Check out these quotes from some well known leaders on creating better life changing habits!
HABITS
"The individual who wants to reach the top in business must appreciate the might of the force of habit and must understand that practices are what create habits. He must be quick to break those habits that can break him and hasten to adopt those practices that will become the habits that help him achieve the success he desires." -- J. Paul Getty
"First we make our habits then our habits make us." -- Denis Waitley
"Good habits are as addictive as bad habits, and a lot more rewarding." -- Harvey Mackay
"When you do the wrong thing, knowing it is wrong, you do so because you haven't developed the habit of effectively controlling or neutralizing strong inner urges that tempt you, or because you have established the wrong habits and don't know how to eliminate them effectively." -- W. Clement Stone
Jim Rohn says today's the day . . .
. . . that could turn your life around!
