Lobo Day!

As you may know, the University of New Mexico Lobos won a HUGE basketball tournament last weekend - the Mountain West Conference Tournament.  In honor of Mark and Christine Paulsen and Steve Alford, the coach, everyone here at Genesis PURE dressed up in RED for LOBO DAY!  We're cheering on Mark and the rest of the Lobos in their pursuit of an NCAA Title.

Congratulations Mark & Christine, Steve, and all of the New Mexico Lobos.

Lobos are #1!

Crazy Outfit Day!

Since my team has been working so hard these days, I decided to reward them with a Crazy Outfit Day at the office.  There were some good outfits, but Marmion took the cake.  Thanks to all who participated!

Marmion and Jon - the 2 best of the day!

Vitamin D

I found this article about Vitamin D and the importance of it for young, female athletes:

"When it comes to running, jumping and tumbling teen girls tend to give it all they've got, but overdoing high-impact sports can fatigue the muscles -- leaving them unable to absorb added shock.

When that stress is transferred to the bones it can cause tiny cracks called stress fractures.

Registered Dietitian Kendrin Sonneville of Children's Hospital Boston followed a group of more than 6,700 pre-teen and teen girls for seven years.

She and her colleagues found we should be giving cheerleaders and other athletic girls a "D"...as inVitamin D.

"For the girls who had the highest intake of Vitamin D, they had half the risk of developing a stress fracture compared with the girls with the lowest Vitamin D intake," she explains.

The girls weren't going overboard with supplements."

Below is a list of Genesis PURE products that contains Vitamin D:

Coral Calcium Vitamin D3 - 600 IU (150% DV)
Meal Replacement Shakes vitamin D3 - 320 IU (80%)
Nutrition Vitamin D2 - 400 IU (100%)
Daily Build Vitamin D3 - 400 IU (100%)
Appetite Chew Vitamin D3 - 200 IU (50%)

ILMN - Chris Oppenheimer

The next installment of the Integrity Leveraged Marketing Network is with Chris Oppenheimer, a Blue Diamond for Genesis PURE.  Chris is such an inspiration for so many of our IBOs and it was such an honor to be able to have him share his story with us.

Thanks for all of your hard work, Chris!

I received this poem from Susie Marx, an IBO out of Texas.  She is such a talented writer and I wanted to share it with you all.  Thank you for living PURE, Susie.

MY TWO-WAY PRAYER

By Susan Marx

(March 4, 2012)

The sound of a tiny bird chirps in the tree outside, hitting highlights above the whooshing drone of the creek nearby – newly swollen with life-giving rains. How much more sensitive to sound this morning, I am, after rising early to sing with the choir. Tuning my ear to the voices of others and singing my own high soprano over the solid bass & tenor notes. The timing of it all.

A tendency to rush in places

To boom out too loudly

Or to lose breath entirely

At the end of a difficult passage

I sit forward in my chair

And raise the level of my hearing

So I am in harmony with the group

Yielding here and leading there

Again like the flow of the water

The wind wrestles with the leaves

And dies down again

Some distant bells ring over the hill

It’s another song, so faint

 I become even more intent

on the listening

And now, as if in answer

A chorus of chimes rings softly

In the distance

Touching the tiny hairs in my inner ear

There is such amazing joy

In the stillness of this moment

Other gentle birds join in

with the soloist who began

and now they are singing together

I am healing. I am validated. I am on the right path. I am seeking to be a servant and praying for guidance and protection. I am broken open. I am called to care for this vessel if I am to care for others. I am full. I am guided. I am a daughter of the kingdom.

I am the Great Spirit. I live in your heart. I will show you where to go and give you the words to express the murmurs of your heart. I am awakening you. I am always right here for you. I am listening. I hear you.

Moonlighting

I just read an interesting article that says 8 Million Americans are working a second job.  I would say that's a huge opportunity for our Genesis PURE Leaders to find those who are actively looking for extra income.  There is not a better opportunity than working in Network Marketing to supplement someone's finances.  When you think about all of the other second jobs out there, what better way than to build your own business - something that you can take with you and share with your family.

Let's join together and share the benefits of PURE.

"According to the U.S. Dept. of Labor, about 8 million Americans moonlight. In this context, moonlighting refers to working a second job.

There are many reasons why people moonlight. Some do it because they need the extra income just to make ends meet. Some are trying to pay down high-interest debt. Some are trying to recoup savings spent during the depression. Others are trying to save more money for retirement, in light of the 401k losses suffered the past few years. Yet others work a second job for personal fulfillment."

Families need PURE

Japan Leaders in Taiwan

Dear Leaders,

I received this wonderful picture from the Japanese Leaders who recently travelled to Taiwan to meet with some IBOs there.  As you can tell, they had a wonderful time talking about Genesis PURE and really just enjoying their friendship and the incredible stories they are hearing about the Company. 

Congratulations to all of our Japanese Leaders for their explosive growth the last couple of months, in which we are the fastest growing company in Japan.  

Thanks for all you do.

Sincerely,

Daren 

Miami Heat

Yesterday we dropped off some product in Salt Lake for the Miami Heat.  I had a wonderful converstation with trainer, who informed me that the team is using the E2 Citrus and the Energy Tropical Blast before each game to gear up.  I think that is exciting, especially since the Miami Heat are doing so well this year.  I have the opportunity to go meet with the trainer tonight, and it is exciting to know that a team such as the Miami Heat sees the quality of our products and are using them to their advantage.

Cards

I love getting cards from our IBOs.  It makes me happy to know that Genesis PURE is helping so many people throughout the world.

"Daren,

Wanted you to know how grateful Luanne & I are to have you leading the charge.  What an adventure we're in!  See you soon & thanks!

Dinny" 

"Dear Daren,

Thank you for a fabulous week on the Ruby Cruise.  It was so much fun getting to know you and Lisa better.

We appreciate your leadership and all you do to help us succeed.  But more than that, we are grateful for your friendship.

See you in Kansas City!

God Bless,

Mike & Ilene Hodges"  

"Dear Daren,

Just a note to let you know how deeply grateful I am for the gift you give every day ~ Genesis PURE.  One of the most wonderful memories I have of my mother's last couple of years on this earth was her joy and health benefits from the Cleanse, GoYin, and Fusion!  She experienced remarkable results.  I experienced great satisfaction in giving her something I knew she would love, for in earlier years I wasn't always able to please her!

Thank you for this wonderful memory and all that you do.  You're just the absolute BEST.

Warmest Regards,

Joan Bockenkamp"

Testimonial

I am proud to have gotten this email from one of our top leaders, Louis D'Osaneo.  Genesis PURE's GPS line has been able to help strengthen a high school wrestler.

Demetri, in the red, is second in districts, now on his way as a freshman to regionals. As a freshman he is competing against seniors in his weight class. His father Mario and his mother Cathy and sister Gianna have been an amazing team together. It is so amazing to behold a father's love for his son, as my brother Mario coaches and supports Demetri in so many ways. What a wonderful example of of how a family can work together with a unified goal to help dreams come true.. Demetri aggrees that the GPS is is giving his opponets a tougher match.

 I am so glad to hear that our products are helping people of all ages all over the country.  Good luck in Regionals, Demetri!
