Can I make my life better in time for my 30 year high school reunion?

So, a year ago my Daddy died . . . it wasn’t fun to watch him go and life just wasn’t quite the same this last year without him. Not only did I miss him but I started to gain weight . . . with my two weekly radio shows (TalkWorthy on SiriusXM 143) and Healthy Wealthy Wow Surthrival! on 1480 AM and Utah Valley Live . . . along with my eMedia clients I just didn’t take time to care for myself like I should have.

Since Dad has died I have started promoting a reserve food business (GOFoods) and an organic food business (Green PolkaDot Box) and written a book called Choose Surthrival! out in May! They call me the Power Mom but why don’t I feel so powerful . . . in fact I want a nap nearly every day!

So, with so many fabulous things going on in my life (finally) I just haven’t felt that great health wise . . . I told this to my friend, Cori Dyer of the Make Life Better Foundation and she suggested I try the Make Life Better Transformation while we were at the Kids Choice Awards in March. I really stewed about that. Do I really have time to do an entire transformation? Was it really even possible?

Then . . . the news hit. My high school friend, Arlene Inbody Ericson, posted a note to me on Facebook asking if I was going to our 30 year high school reunion?

At first all I could think was . . . I have a daughter who just turned 18 and now I have a 30 year class reunion? And, then I started thinking about the 15 or so pounds I have gained since my Dad died . . . and then I looked at the calendar . . 12/13 weeks? Could I do it? Then I thought of the Make Life Better Foundation and their Transformation offer and I called Cori.

Now I have 12 weeks and a goal to make my life better in time for my 30 year class reunion. And, by the way my book will be out about that time . . . can I really make a transformation happen . . . we will see . . .

Katie from the Make Life Better Foundation called me today and said I would have a weekly coach and some of their products to start with . . . so tomorrow I will start Week 1 Day 1 of my quest to Make My Life Better by my high school reunion . . . please join me on the journey . . . I am going to need your help . . . Kim Power Stilson Go class of 1982!!!!

GOFoods Global President Brad Stewart Supports the Great Utah ShakeOut to Prepare Families for Earthquakes

http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/gofoods-global-president-brad-stewart-supports-the-great-utah-shakeout-to-prepare-families-for-earthquakes-147692525.html

In conjunction with the GOFoods Global GO Tour 2012 to feed and prosper American families, Brad Stewart supports the Great Utah ShakeOut and invites all families to participate in the drill and consider GOFoods long-term storable products as they plan for the aftermath of any natural or economic disaster.
SALT LAKE CITY, April 17, 2012 — Brad Stewart, president and co-founder of GOFoods Global, the nation’s category creator in premium-quality food reserves and shelf-life nutrition, encourages families everywhere to support the Great Utah Shake Out drill scheduled for 10:15 AM on Tuesday, April 17, 2012.
According to Brad Stewart, the http://www.shakeout.org suggests that as part of the preparedness drill, people should stop wherever they are and “Drop, Cover, and Hold On!” as if there were a major earthquake occurring at that very moment.
“GOFoods shares the main goal of the ShakeOut, which is to help Utah families get prepared for major earthquakes,” said Brad Stewart. “GOFoods Global also believes in having a family food supply ready, not only for major earthquakes and other natural disasters but also for economic shortages and trials.”
The ShakeOut is an opportunity for people to practice how to protect themselves during earthquakes. Official rescue teams who have been dispatched to the scene of earthquakes and other disasters around the world continue to advocate use of the internationally recognized “Drop, Cover and Hold On” protocol to protect lives during earthquakes:
• DROP to the ground (before the earthquake drops you!),
• Take COVER by getting under a sturdy desk or table, and
• HOLD ON to it until the shaking stops.
If there isn’t a table or desk near you, drop to the ground in an inside corner of the building and cover your head and neck with your hands and arms. Do not try to run to another room just to get under a table. GOFoods Global recommends learning about additional ShakeOut-suggested advice on http://www.earthquakecountry.info, which includes tips for what to do in an earthquake based on location.
GOFoods encourages conversation on their Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/gofoods to share how you and your family used the Great Utah ShakeOut as an opportunity to learn what to do before, during, and after an earthquake.
“Food is a product that everyone needs, and GOFoods healthy, easy-to-prepare meals will help sustain your family in a crisis situation as well as day-to-day options. GOFoods allows everyone to take control of their future and feed their freedom, physically and financially.”
With GOFoods meals, families everywhere within the United States and Canada are learning how the GOFoods meals can help save them time and money, especially in today’s difficult economy. GOFoods healthy easy-to-prepare meals enhances a variety of lifestyles—busy college students needing a faster nutritious meal, mothers looking for a quick dinner option that doesn’t involve fast food, families wanting to purchase long-term storable reserves for the future. GOFoods allows everyone to take control of their future and feed their freedom, physically and financially.
The Great Utah ShakeOut is just one of many messages being shared as part of the company’s GO Tour 2012, where people everywhere can learn more about feeding and prospering their families and how to prepare for today and the future. Families can hear President Brad Stewart firsthand and join the GO Tour 2012 events in their area. Check the company’s website at http://www.GOTour2012.com to find event dates and locations.

Power Mom Day 10! Stormy Sleepover Girls Make their own eFoods Beef Stroganoff!

My daughter McKall rarely asks for anything so when she asked for a sleepover after a late movie I acquiesced. Hey my husband working the night shift so I really like the extra people in the house — keeps my from being too lonely! Anyway the girls stayed up late and so slept in — right through breakfast. A storm blew in across the valley (see video) and when they got up they wanted something hot! Since I am now championing the Power Mom Food Fund and our mission includes getting our kids cooking food and eating food storage — I invited them to pick out their own eFoods Global meal and make it themselves! They had fun doing it — see the photos and video and I didn’t have to go back in the kitchen for lunch! They made two packets for 8 1 cup serving for the 7 of us and there were plenty for leftovers. I was hopeful I could skip making dinner — of course as soon as Maddy’s friends came over the Beef Stroganoff was gone! I am loving eFoods Global meals! Try having your teenagers make it for themselves — get your 12 meals free!

Please join us in feeding and funding our families from the kitchen! Just check out this quick video of why we are doing this here or please get your free food samples (shipping only) here Food Freedom Tour
