U.S. Ski and Snowboarding Teams Win With Shaklee
I got an email from Shaklee Corporation this morning with a really amazing fact (in red), so sharing below with you!
Shaklee salutes the athletes on the U.S. Ski Team and U.S. Snowboarding. Twenty-five medals so far and counting! Shaklee is the official nutritional sponsor of the U.S. Ski Team and U.S. Snowboarding.
“The U.S. Ski Team and U.S. Snowboarding have been working with Shaklee since 1980. The team relies on the quality and efficacy of Shaklee nutrition products, and we depend on Shaklee products to keep our athletes healthy.”
– Troy Flanagan, Trainer to the U.S. Ski Team and U.S. Snowboarding

ShelterBox Can = Home
Life continues. No matter what happens in the world, life moves on. People forget things, new priorities arise. It’s in that vein that I post a quick reminder that we need to continue helping the people of Haiti. I came across an organization called ShelterBox <.org> an international disaster relief charity that delivers emergency shelter, warmth and dignity to people affected by disaster worldwide. I really appreciated that they are trying to provide whole solutions for people and a sense of self. Food for thought item of the day 🙂

“How do you keep your coat so white?”
was the question of the day yesterday as I wore a short white coat I had purchased at Target. I was in Harvard Sq, Cambridge, MA and I had 7 people randomly ask how I kept the coat white. The answer – Shaklee Laundry products (Nature Bright and Fresh Laundry powder). One woman didn’t believe that at home laundry products (vs. dry cleaning) could actually keep something so white. I love being able to challenge someone’s perception around natural products not ‘working.’ 🙂

A Valentine for Grandma
“Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life, bringing peace.” Kahlil Gibran
Our amazing grandmother Barbie passed away on Valentine’s Day. I wanted to share her poetry and obituary with you as part of healthy living is celebrating those who pave the way and teach us what life means.
Here is the autobiography she wrote about herself:
Barbara,
loving, giving, loyal, devoted
child of critical parents
creative mother of four
musical grandmother of ten
lover of kindness, beauty, generosity
who feels free to be me at last
who need needs friendship,
companionship and laughter
who admits to being a very late bloomer
who gives understanding,
support and encouragement
who fears ignorance, cruelty and violence
who would like to see a society of justice,
tolerance and compassion
residing happily now, in Natick
| Barbara Mellitz Krentzman |
| Barbara Mellitz Krentzman, age 90, of Natick passed away Sunday, February 14th after a brief illness.
Born in Bridgeport, CT, she married Edgar Krentzman in 1941 and raised four children in Fairfield, CT. Barbara received a bachelor degree in music from Smith College. In 1978 she settled in Massachusetts in order to be closer to her loved ones. Barbara earned a degree from the Gerontology program at UMass Boston and then used her knowledge and craft to work at Hale House, a retirement home in Boston. She led current event discussion groups and a music therapy hour for isolated elders. Barbara was a lyrical genius, a gifted poet, visual artist and brilliant pianist. Those who knew her marveled at how she could sit at a piano and master practically any melody, without having played it before and often without having sheet music to follow. She was instrumental in starting the Creative Connections program for seniors at the Morse Institute Library in Natick, an early board member at The Center for Arts in Natick and a regular participant in writing groups in Wayland and Natick. In April of 2006 she published a 52 page volume of her own poetry and reminiscences titled “Now and Then.” During the summer of 2007 she had a one-woman exhibit of her paintings at the library. She was known by friends and family as warm, outgoing, sincere and a great gin rummy card player. She was a wonderful mother, mother-in-law and grandmother, always baking challah, pies and cookies, and making delicious soups as well as other dishes that were coveted by all family members. She leaves her children Nancy and Michael Lopin, Daniel Krentzman and Patti Sheinman, David and Carol Krentzman, and Judy and Kevin Dayton, and her grandchildren Naomi Lopin and John Osborne, Jonah Lopin, Aaron and Betty Lopin, Jenny and Tim Gomeringer, Nellie and Austin Goodman, Samuel and Sophia Krentzman, Nicole Platt, Mollie Krentzman and Collin Dayton. She also leaves loving cousins, nephews and friends. She lived in The Pettee House in Newton for the last four months of her life and her family will be forever grateful for the kindness and care she received there. |

Healthy Habits by Delia Dorn
I came across another Shaklee distributor, Delia Dorn, a few weeks back and wanted to share her site. According to her bio, Delia worked as a chemical research engineer, product developer, and quality assurance supervisor, before she turned to Shaklee and I’ve found her newsletters to be very helpful and informative as I share Shaklee with others. Happy Reading!
