1 2 FREE! It Works!

Top StoriesToday I got the following email from Monavie saying...

Dear Distributor, 

Congratulations on being a "1, 2, Free!" Promotion winner! 

As a winner of this promotion, at least two of your preferred customers ordered between 100 and 200 PV worth of product between October 1 and October 28. This entitles you to receive credits on your MVPay Hub account for you to spend on your AutoShip or any other product order during the month of November! 

Your credits have been deposited into your MVPay Hub account on Thursday, November 3. 

Thank you for your hard work and dedication in building your MonaVie business. 

Yep, that's right!  Free product!  There are so many things that I love about MonaVie, and this is just icing on the cake.  What's more fun than getting my product for free is helping others do the same.  Times are tough, and I know that even though people love Monavie, and they know what it does for their health, unfortunately, the mortgage has to be paid, and the kids have to be fed.  We always tend to put ourselves on the back burner.  Well, here's a way to put yourself first, without sacrificing our own health and well being.  

Oh!!!  Not only is my product free, we also have a new rewards program!  Who doesn't like to save money on  the daily necessities?  Money that you were going to spend anyway!  Now with Monavie's new MV Perks, you can't afford not to be on autoship!  Because everyone on autoship automatically qualifies for this new rewards program!    Huge savings!  Can you tell?  I'm beyond excited!  

Blessings to you all!

Summer to Winter?

Top Stories
What happened to fall?  I think we went from Summer to Winter over night, with the talk of snow this week!  I have to say I got a bit distracted this Summer with the great weather, and being outdoors, and my computer and blogging lost out.  Now that there is more than a chill in the air, it's time to get serious with keeping up with the blog!

The weight loss, even though it's slowed down, is still on track, and I'm knocking on 120 pounds gone...it keeps  fluctuating back and forth, so I'm not making any claims....YET!  I'm really stoked about the RVLution! Starting in January, Monavie will begin this new phase of RVL greatness, and will be giving away $1,000,000 (yes, that's ONE MILLION) in cash and prizes to those who make the commitment, and make a change!  You know me, I'm all in!  Yes, I still have a significant amount of weight to lose, so I'm here to stake my claim :)

We are all working hard to get on that cruise ship in January with the Cruise for Gold Promotion!  We can do it, WHY???  BECAUSE WE CAN!

Also, if you are in the Santa Rosa area, Monavie will be hosting a "I AM Monavie" meeting there on November 9th!  Check out Monavie on the Move for more details!  Wayne and I will be there will bells on, and can't wait to meet you all!  The Northern Nevada Monavie Family "Because I Can" Facebook page is rocking, and be sure to become a member, and keep up to date on all the local Monavie happenings!  Teresa Morros is on fire, and keeps us all on task!  Gotta love it!

Another great Blog is our new MV Achievers at MV Achievers be sure you make it a stop on your daily Monavie journey!

Blessings to you all

Innocence GONE!

Top Stories
Today our little town was stripped of it's innocence by an insane gunman walking into the IHOP Restaurant, and opening fire.    This is Wayne's favorite breakfast spot, and he and Adam spend many mornings having father/son time over a short stack.  So I had a moment of panic when I couldn't locate my family this morning, Knowing that it was Wayne's first day of vacation, and it would have been normal for him and Adam to go out before starting the day.  If you would have asked me what their routine would have been this morning, I would have included IHOP.  Thank goodness Wayne was home fighting with the lawn mower.  It still took a while to stop shaking.  Unfortunately, many other families cannot say "thank goodness".  We need to pray for the victims and their families, and tell your family and friends how much you love them.  You never know when something like this will happen.  Even in Carson City Nevada!!

Today is a very sad day!

Blessings to you all!  BTW...I LOVE you all!

I Witnessed Greatness!

Top Stories
I have to share something that happened after our first meeting last month with Mike McCormick.  I can't believe I forgot to tell you this story!!  Anyway, after the meeting, Mike, Wayne and I, Laura, Karen and Jerry went out for a late bite, so we could go over the days events.  Mind you, we were all branded in Monavie, and deep in conversation.  Then a young man, I'd say maybe 20 years old, and his younger brother approached our table.  This young man proceeded to tell us how much he loves Monavie, and had just moved to the area from Florida.  Then, in what we later all agreed was an extremely bold move (I think brass balls were mentioned), he dropped the bomb!  "Yeah, Monavie is great!" (can you hear what's coming next?), "But I've found something better".  OMG!  OH NO HE DIDN'T!  Did this young man know who was sitting at our table?  Did he know that Mike McCormick is a Monavie Blue Diamond?  Did he know that Mike McCormick is one of the most successful and powerful trail attorneys in the country?  Did he know what he just stepped into?

This young man approached our table, full of adults MORE than twice his age, with the sole purpose of recruiting us into his new business venture (which shall remain nameless), and then it began.  We witnessed the great Mike McCormick in action!  I wish I had a video camera, because that was the greatest teaching moment ever!  Mike schooled this boy, all the while uplifting him, the industry, Monavie, never making him feel foolish or insignificant.  Mike never broke a sweat, and never missed a beat.  It was like watching a top athlete have his greatest game.  He sure gave that young man something to think about, and I'm sure he will reconsider his decision.  I wish I could have taken that boy aside and said..."do you know who that is???   But, it was better to let him be and reflect on the 15 or so minutes Mike engaged him.  Awesome...Genius...Amazing!  I wish you could have all been there!

Anyway, just wanted to share :)

Because He Can Ride! The Amazing Journey!

Top Stories
Okay, I promised to write everyday, or as close to that as I can, and well...I blew it!  Nuf said on that little detail :)

We just had another amazing meeting with our fearless leader Mike McCormick!  What a night!!  Besides Mike, who is always fabulous, we were blessed to have Teresa Morros and her Son Josh.

Josh was the youngest professional off-road racer ever, and in August of 2008, he crashed going close to 90 mph in the Nevada desert.  The doctors didn't except him to live, and if he did, he would be paralyzed, and a complete vegetable.   Teresa describes the experience in a way only a mother could, and her story is painful, and amazingly inspirational.  Josh beat the odds, and is better than ever!  This Summer he rode his bike cross country to raise awareness about brain injuries.  Please check out his webpage at http://www.becauseicanride.org/ 


Josh proves that one young man can make a huge difference!  If you are going to be at the Legacy Event next weekend, you will be able to hear their story first hand.  I feel so Blessed to join forces with Teresa, John and Josh in building our MonaVie businesses, welcoming them to the "A" Team, and setting Northern Nevada on fire!  Anyone who can hear the Morros story, and not drink MonaVie, well...I just don't know what to say!

Since I haven't posted in a while, I want to update you on my RVL progress :)  I'm at 115 pounds down and counting, and feeling better than ever!  Just had an appointment with my doctor yesterday, who was again blown away at her formerly obese, hypertensive patient, who was a borderline diabetic.  Yesterday, my blood pressure was 116/68, and non-fasting blood sugar of 80.  If you don't know, that is awesome!  We are still arguing over my final weight goal, which she thinks is a bit ambitious, but I promised I would take a hard look at her recommendation.  She reminded me it wasn't about a number, but how I felt...now where have I heard that...Rick Zeller...LOL.  Great minds think alike!

Blessings to you all!

First Giant Step For Leah and Wayne!

Top Stories
Well friends, Wayne and I stepped out of the box.  Yes, I know we've been in Monavie for 3 years now, and it seems like this should be old hat, but we planned, and pulled off, our first hotel meeting!  Now we've done the weekly home tastings, and attended plenty of said meetings, but this was truly an exciting time for us!

Our good friend, mentor, and the one who keeps us warm and cozy (but not too cozy) under his wing, Blue Diamond Executive Mike McCormick joined us, and shared his extreme knowledge, and went over and beyond!  He rocked the room for sure!  Diamond Exec Vincent St Louis also drove all the way from Sacramento, and brought his great wisdom and many of the awesome Team 212!  We were truly Blessed to meet these fine folks!  It was exciting to meet those who I've been friends with on Facebook for years, finally face to face!  Rick Zeller who is just shy of a 100 pounds loss, was my inspiration from the early days of the friends and family RVL kick off! So to have him join us, and share with the group was an honor!  We learned lots, and created new friendships for a lifetime!

Now, there one one young lady there by the name of Kirstin.  Kirstin is a 21 year old that is about to change her life for ever!  Kirstin has a goal to lose 190 pounds, and reclaim her life!  She told me that I was an inspiration, but I've got news for her, it's people like Kirstin that keep me motivated and inspired!  I was so touched and honored to meet her, and to share her dreams and goals!  You are a Blessing to me Kirstin, and we now have a unbreakable bond!  You and I are going to take the world by storm!  Watch out Monavie!!!  Kirstin, I will be there with you when you skydive, and I will be there to watch Monavie celebrate you on the stage in St Louis!!!

I don't want you to think we pulled this off by ourselves, oh no!  We had so much help from everyone!  My wonderful, and precious Sister Laura, Bill and Donna, Judy and Dan, Karen and Jerry, and of course Mike McCormick!  We are gonna put Northern Nevada/California on the map!


Blessings to you all!
