Race to the Top

Victory celebrations are ringing out across Tennessee now as they are the Big Winners of The Race to the top for Education. Over the next 4 years Tennessee will receive $500 million to impliment their school reform plans.

While I am happy that TN is finally getting the financial help so desperately needed, I still cannot call this a Victory. For to Win this contest, we Tennesseans had to prove that we really DO have The Worst Education system in the Whole Country. This is NOT something to be celebrated. This is also NOT something that just happened over night.

This state has continued to value everything as More Important than education. For generations this state has continued to employ teachers who Refuse to Teach the students, teachers that belittle these young minds, stunting their education now and for their future as they cannot possibly compete in the College entrance exams and have little to no means of getting scholarships due to the fact these school systems have neither the interest, manpower or money to impliment programs such as track & field or debate club which would give these poverty level students the chance to go on to college and prevent Their future generations from being stuck in the same boat.

I am happy to see the leaders of this state Finally take notice of how they are bringing up the Future leaders of this state and Country. The fact that they are willing to get rid of the dead weight teachers is the 1st Positive step.

Just to let You get an idea of how Tennessee treats their students compared to the other states I've lived in, here's a true story from my Daughter's 1st day of 6th grade & Middle school. She walks into class & finds a seat. The bell ring & NO teacher. When he finally does show up for class, he looks around at all the students, then announces: "I hate all 6th graders. You guys are nothing but a bunch of snot nosed kids." For the rest of the year, he refused to Teach the kids, instead choosing to sit at his desk with his feet up and reading the newspaper or doing the Rubik's cube; telling the students that their assignment is on the board & that was the extent of his teaching.
Now my daughter is in 7th and has him again. This time he is not beligerant about Hating them, but he still does NOT Teach the class he is getting paid to teach.

I hope with this new Reform and the Gov't bail out Tennessee will actually get their act together and Realize that the future of Our Country lies in the hands of Our Children. Tennessee's children are the most undereducated and unhealthy in this Nation, which stems from the fact that Their Parents were educated here and unfortunately don't know that there IS a better way.

Maybe now Tennesseans can start to open their minds to the possibility that they do Not have the answers that they have held on so dear for generations. That their way doing business as usual just won't cut it for Our Children.

Without Health & Education these children are doomed to live off the system because they canNot afford to go on to College, to get the degree, to go to work and put money back into the system And make a Future Life for themselves and Their Families.

Thank You Tennessee for having the guts to admit their system is terribly flawed and the vision to rise above this adversity, make a game plan to Help it's children instead of just Allowing this travesty of the education system to keep festering.

Only time will tell if the powers that be will actually use the money to Support the fundamentals to higher education. We all hope so.

Blessings of Peace & Health, Enlightenment & Prosperity to You & Yours!

The Blessing

LIMU 2K10 is finally here!
Over the next 48 hours TLC has brand new things are in store - new look, new products and even more.
I would like to take this time to give credit where it's due, to bring Honor & Glory to the Only reasons I have Survived & now Thrive through a terrible secret I kept hidden for too long even from myself.
With no further ado, here is The Blessing that changed my Life & will Yours too!



The Blessing

Amber nectar coursing through
my veins; Fucoidan pulling on
the reins -
Bringing my runaway body
to a halt; turning it around onto
the secure health of the asphalt.
My heart and blood are pumping
strong; making known that
recovery won't be long.
One day I will break through
the other side of this fog; all for the
Glory of the Merciful, Almighty God.
He provides the strength and
food to supply abundantly for
His brood-
In Him I do trust; drinking
Original LIMU everyday
Is a Must.




Six weeks before this poem came to be, I had to diagnose myself with Anorexia when the scale read 96 pounds as I stared at my gaunt 35 year old image looking blankly back through the mirror. Just days later with no idea how to stop the death coming, The Blessing that is LIMU The Original came to me.
The day i looked down & saw my veins plump - not shriveled - this poem leaped out of my heart onto paper.
My desire is that YOU will Receive 'The Blessing' so YOU too can be Blessed with Peace & Health, Enlightenment & Prosperity...just like Me.

I want to take this opportunity to Thank Mr. Gary Raser & his Family for for all their time & effort spent; for following a life's path that went against the grain so that YOU and I might gain a Life More Abundant through simple Health that God made possible since the beginning of time.

God said, "Let the land produce vegetation." When it did, "God saw that it was good."
Genesis 1:11

We know not why,
"But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the mighty;
"And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:"
1 Corinthians 1:27-28

So Thank You Raser's for taking a few simple words to heart:
"Knowlege of the oceans is more than a matter of curiosity...our very survival may hinge on it." -John F. Kennedy, March, 1961

For trusting in Him, for Your Passion & Commitment - which may have seemed "crazy" at the time and now 6 years later only to find: a Contentment & Knowing through all the testimony's showing,

just how much God really Does Care!
Thanks for being a beacon & a light for showing that it doesn't always take might; just some Compassion & Caring and a propensity for Sharing the Good News of the Lord and for making True Health so easy to afford!



Blessings of Peace & Health, Enlightenment & Prosperity to YOU!

LIMU 2K10 Convention Call

"Will we remember 2009 as the Great Recession or the recession that made Us - TLC Great?" was the question Gary Raser, President of The Limu Company, asked on his 1st corporate call in January which included the upcoming LIMU 2K10 International Conference & Convention this weekend, March 19-20 in Frisco, TX, U.S.A.

Below is my synopsis of that call which You can access anytime to hear Gary in detail at http://thelimucompany.com/ladylimu Just scroll to page bottom & click Listen To The Big Call.

"Opportunity doesn't come gift wrapped, it usually comes in the storm."

2009 was "The Storm" with "Industry(s) in turmoil. Lot's of companies struggling."
But " The TLC Family kept it together, we stayed tough." and the "launch of Blu Frog...a success."

Did YOU know that TLC was "Profitable And Debt Free Every Month in 2009."?
"That Creates Opportunity for YOU."

March 19, 2010 is the complete relaunch of TLC -

"...a complete make-over...the same, but completely different."

"Look different, more attractive, cooler, hipper, sexy, leaner & trimmer..."
"...changed the wardrobe...updated the logo...changed the colors...packaging...boxes."

What's NOT going to change is "Our Core Values, Who We are, Our Principles, Our Extremely Unique Characters or Our products."

We are adding "...new products...expanding opportunities."

Now IS "The Absolute Right time to create extra income and build a business."

"While other companies are floundering, We are the Absolute opposite!"

"People need Opportunity..."
"People need options...help pay rent, buy food," pay the "electric."

"TLC and..." Me, "Offers Hope and Opportunity."

At Conference, March 19 - 20, 2010:

"LIMU is going to rock YOUR WORLD!"
"LIMU is going to rock the MLM World."
"Stronger and More Attractive than ever!"

"Free gifts worth more than the price of Your ticket."

(You will walk out) "ReFocused, ReEnergized, ReCommitted to YOUR Dreams..."

You will "Believe again that YOU CAN acheive them."

You will be "Excited about" that "Possibility."

You'll "Be on an Emotional High with More Energy than ever...

"Armed with The Greatest Looking Company and The Greatest Product!"

"We are goona be the Best Babe at the Ball! There's NOT going to be another company in this industry comes close to looking as Good, as Sexy, as Hot and as Appealing as We are!"

The new "Product expansion...will make You leaner & meaner and far more attractive..."
"an Immediate way to build YOUR Business!"

"Get back on track for YOUR DREAMS!"


In closing,

"It is my Honor & my Privilege to have had the Opportunity to Serve as Your leader and I will continue to do so until YOUR DREAMS have been Achieved."


Thank You, Gary Raser!

I'm Honored & I'm Humbled for This call to tell,
a sneak peak, a little glimpse of what's in store;
for LIMU 2K10 is full of prizes, suprizes & more -
did We forget to mention how Great it feels to Be Well?!

Blessings of Peace & Health, Enlightenment & Prosperity to YOU

(as I'm sure Gary would agree)

from the TLC Family & Me!
