Aging in Wellness

Dear Fellow Baby Boomers.

People always tell me that I don't look old enough to have a grown daughter. Well the years and a few good Creole genes have been kind to my face, but I am constantly aware that I have to be kinder to my body, because the years- and a few car accidents- have not been so kind to it. As a singer traveling around a lot, this in important.

So what are the secrets to aging in wellness?

1. Staying focused on your purpose in life, by pursuing your dreams!
2. Remembering you are not a number. Age is a fact but not a factor in happiness!
3. Eating those fattening things you like as a treat and not as a daily habit
4. Focusing on prevention of illness rather than being a hard head about your diet and then being surprised when you get sick!
5. Dancing every chance you get!
6. Rembering water is your friend!

#1. I just returned from performing in concert in Paris, a long time dream of mine. Pursuing this dream and achieving it has been fantastic and takes care of #2 as well
#3 and 4... Well this is not always easy with the Creole cooking in New Orleans, but I am doing OK with staying focused....most of the time. LOL!!!!
#5 Just had a great time dancing the other day even though a very long hot soak in the tub quickly followed!
#6 Water is indeed my friend. I am going to get some now.

But in case I am not always as diligent as I should be, I have found some products that I really like and that are having a great impact on my aging in wellness.

I just discovered in Berry Greens Boost! 1 serving of Berry Greens Boost in an 8 ounce glass of water (or you could add it to juice- I like that) has all the nutrients of 8 salads, increases your energy, mental clarity, and strengthens your immune system.
It comes in single serving packs for people on the go. It gives you lots of energy without sugar or caffeine. And if you have colon cancer in your family like I do you will want to take advantage of BG Boost's colon cleansing properties.

I wish I had BGBoost when I was in Paris, because the flight was a little challenging! But I drank it the other day and I was ready to go!! There is a great video on the website that explains it all!

So join me in my new Aging in Wellness adventure! Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated. What are you all doing?

Paris Success!!!

I am back from Paris! Came in late Wednesday night. Here is a picture of me and my daughter Aria- also a mezzo- who sang on the program.

Here is a little trip summary:
My first day started with a rehearsal in an historic home of a Parisian.It was a beautiful place with ornamented high ceilings, a grand piano, and a balcony overlooking the upscale Trocadero neighborhood.

All performances and church services went very well.
My concert at The American Church in Paris was well attended- almost packed! Considering President Bush was in town blocking the roads all weekend and that there were many concerts and an opera to compete with, I am thrilled at the outcome!!! But because of Bush, I almost missed singing the Saturday Mass at St. Joseph's, and almost could not get back to my hotel after the Sunday morning Presbyterian service because we could not get across the Champs Elysees.

Considering most of what I sang was in French, and they can be tough on outsiders regarding their language, the fact that no one walked out was a win for me. LOL!!! In fact I think I made quite a few new Paris friends. God is good! We have been also talking about a future engagement. We shall see!

I recorded it for a new CD, so I am excited about that. And I even sold some of my "Hymns for New Orleans" CDs afterwards.
AND a plug for our free advertising---Someone in the audience was later online at where I also have Nutronix ads posted and she found my CD there- purchased it and sent me a note about how much she enjoyed the concert. So people all over the world do pay attention to that site.

My online business continued to grow while I was gone too. It has been a win, win!!!

Financial and Time Freedom for Performers

For singers who want to keep a flexible schedule for performances, it is not always easy. While you are building your career, you may find that there are lulls between engagements. Yet you need to have the time to practice, and learn music. Many times singers look for day jobs only to find that they have to keep their artistic engagements more than they are at work. This is why many artists are looking for ways to work from home. That's what is so great about the changes in the online industry. These changes are so powerful that many large corporations have restructured to allow employees to work from home. However the income from "at home jobs" is often insufficient, and rarely worth the time.

It is more to your advantage to spend the time building not just an online job, but instead a home based business that will pay significant residual income over time. This income can also cover health insurance premiums.

The Wellness and Skincare and Weight Loss Industries are trillion dollar industries and through network marketing companies offer great potential for large earnings, and can travel around the world in your laptop!
If you have to work on the side why not do something that will pay you into your retirement. New enhancements have been made to the profit sharing online business called The Berry Tree and is certainly worth a look. They are giving away $500. to a lucky new member this month!

For those of you just headed to college, there are many ways to make a living in the music industry if you want singing to be a secondary career. You may want to look into Music Therapy, Music Business, and Music Education as degree alternatives. Couple that degree with computer technology classes because music has definitely gone digital!!!

Dr. Phil Exposed The MRSA Super Bug!

The U.S. Patented New Silver Solution by Nutronix International has been proven to kill the Super Bug called MRSA.
Here is how it works:

* Our silver uses a new technology. These nano particles to go in to assist the immune system and then leaves the body with silver intact. Silver does not store up in the system.There are no side effects or after effects.
* Because it doesn't store up in your system like antibiotics, you don't build up a resistance to it.
* Silver does not kill good bacteria, so you don't have infections break out elsewhere as can happen with antibiotics
* If your doctor prescribes antibiotics however, The New Silver Solution still works with the immune system to speed up your recovery time.

Every household should keep a bottle on hand! Don't wait for MRSA to
touch your family.

Be the one that discovers new technology to keep the family healthy!

What is Shu-Li?

We all love to eat good food. The down side is that while the body is trying to process all this food, it can be vulnerable to attack. The liver says "Do what?". The kidneys say "Oh my" and your stomach says "just sit down". So when the fun is over, maybe it would be good to start the New Year with a fresh new internal system with Shu-li. Then the rest of your year will be Happy

The Shu Li^™Pouch utilizes the Far Infra Red Radiation (FIR) effect of certain materials to generate the stimulation of meridian/acupuncture points. The concept of stimulating acupuncture points at the base of the feet, for example through reflexology massage, is well established. FIR has been researched for many years in Japan, China, the USA, and Sweden for a wide variety of conditions. Effects of Far Infra Red rays on our human body:

• Activates water molecules in our body
• Improve oxygen level in our body
• Reducing the acidic level in our body
• Improve nervous system
• Warming and eliminating fats, chemicals and toxins from our blood and thus smoothening the flow of blood
• Elimination of other waste from the body

Doesn't sound too festive?
Neither does a heart attack! :-)
Happy New Year!!
