Week 2 Facebook Post Archives

9/2/2015
THRIVE Day Eight: did my easy 3 Step THRIVE Experience. I hit the ground running this morning and intend to get a ton of things done today. My thoughts are rapid-fire lately (that must be the increased cognitive function that THRIVE gives) so in order to stay organized, I've started a giant "to do" list. I love lists so this system works great for me. I did one yesterday and was able to accomplish 75% of the things I wanted to. And it was a long list. LOL. Tuesdays are my day of the week that I am setting aside additional time in my War Room for prayer. I am craving that time with God and I anticipate many distractions today.... so knowing your obstacles is half the battle! I have so many hopes and dreams, things coming alive in my heart that I want to accomplish, things I want God to do in my life ... physically, spiritually, with my household, with my relationships... It feels so good to feel sharp and functioning the way I think I was always meant to. I'm choosing not to regret all the lost time I've had over the years but focusing on how much time ahead of me I have. I still only have 24 hours in a day, like we all do, but I now feel equipped to make the most of it. So thankful for THRIVE to give me the extra nutrition that my body needed to become effective again.
 

THRIVE Day Nine: did my easy 3 Step THRIVE Experience... back to taking half doses. I am starting run low on products and I don't want to run out before I get a chance to order another box. I am rationing!   I can definitely feel a difference between a full dosage day and a half dosage day. So wild! I NEVER felt ANYTHING before when I took my regular prenatal vitamins off t...he shelf from Walgreens. Yesterday morning was so special and impacting. I was able to set time aside and visit my 'War Room'. What an amazing experience to allow God to stir your heart and speak to you. My prayers were focused primarily on the middle east and Israel... I hardly ever spend time on those regions, those issues... but it just poured out of me. Thank you, Anna, for encouraging me to set time aside to pray for the work that God is doing there. I look forward to watching these prayers come to pass. I have only recently met Anna and I love her heart for things of God. She reminds me that there is a great big world out there who needs help and to look beyond my circumstances and see things through God's eyes. In other news, I did something exciting yesterday... I would have never claimed this for me before, but well, everything is different now. I read my cousin Ben Wyns' book "Beginner's Guide to Running a 5K". Say WHAT?!?! Yup. I'm wanting to run a 5K. My motivation may make you laugh... it's certainly NOT what you would think. My motivation is.... DISNEY! LOL. I want to do a Disney Run! Yay! So, now I have to read the guide again and plan it all out. I just shake my head everyday now and wonder, "WHO have I become?" I don't even recognize myself. It's amazing what we can accomplish with energy and stamina! This morning, I went to visit the lovely ladies at the Alpha Center for Women and I got a little morning workout by helping move boxes and packs of donated diapers! If feels so good to move these muscles!! I am so inspired by the work that Lori has been doing at the Alpha Center for more than 15 years! What a blessing this ministry is to our city. I sure do have a lot of say today. I'm amazed at what a gift THRIVE has been to me. I thank God for it everyday.

THRIVE Day Ten: woke up, did my easy 3 Step THRIVE Experience. I'm using a full DFT (patch) today as I felt like I wanted the extra boost. Boy, oh boy! I am feeling the boost and it is great. It just goes to show these products really do make a difference from one day to the next. My experimentations with dosages has been eye opening! Today was my very first ever MOPS (Mothers of Pre-Schoolers) meeting and it was fantastic! I'm so glad I signed up and am able to be a part of such a neat group of women! This is going to be a great year! One of the 'ice breaker' questions we did at our table was "High/Low"... I chuckled to myself since both of my recent Highs and Lows happened yesterday! My 'High' was regarding how encouraged I'm feeling by my pants falling down all the time. lol. I was wearing my favorite jeans yesterday (my husband bought them for me before I became pregnant with Maggie) and they were a little snug way back then. Now, they are falling off me. Thank God for that! My 'Low" was that I had somehow scratched my eye and it was hurting all day yesterday which aggravated me... which led me to being 'short' with my kids. Scott has been working two jobs these past several days (Hallelujah and Ugh at the same time) so I've been missing him and bearing the brunt of the parenting lately. It wears you down. Thank God that today is a new day. I take a deep breath. I prioritize what things need to be accomplished. I press on.
 
THRIVE Day Eleven: did my easy 3 Step THRIVE Experience. This morning, I woke up a little before my alarm went off (this NEVER happened before I started THRIVING). I jumped out of bed and started the day with gutso and laughter. In just under two weeks, I'd have to say that I'm becoming a morning person, thanks to THRIVE. It's such an odd sensation to me to wake up feeling refreshed and energized. I have been going to bed at the same time (around midnight) and I've cut out all naps (that was my 'vice' before THRIVE). What a difference it makes to start the day full of joy instead of grumbling. Tonight, we are going to see my dear friend Amanda and her daughter Tori in the Ocala Civic Theater production of Mary Poppins. I'm SO excited! Till then, I have a long list of things 'to do'... here we go...
 
THRIVE Day Twelve: Good Morning! It's Saturday and I didn't get enough sleep last night...late night at O.C.T.!... but I'm feeling good and I'm happy to have a great day planned ahead. Today I want to write about my THRIVE Experience and the DFT (Derma Fusion Technology) that is patent pending and totally unique to the Le-Vel brand. This is the patch that we THRIVERS put on in the morning, about 20-30 minutes after taking our morning capsule(s) on an empty stomach. Some... days I wear a full patch, other days, I cut it in half and wear that. The patch is time-released so throughout the day, I feel surges of energy, like a little gift from God. LOL. I am loving this product and I'm thrilled to have found it. When my friend, Rachelle, first started doing the THRIVE experience at the beginning of July, I was reading her posts on Facebook about it and I was intrigued. She and I used to watch our babies play together in the church nursery while we sat there and complained to one another about how tired we were. Our babies are only 9 days apart. We were nursing Mommies that didn't get enough sleep and felt wrecked ALL THE TIME. So when she started posting how amazing she was feeling, I contacted her right away and got the scoop. She paid for some samples for me to take (God Bless her!) and I was a 'Day One Thriver' (meaning I felt better on day one). I actually experienced detox due to the new surge of good nutrition and minerals into my body... forcing the bad junk out. After my trial pack was used up, I wanted to order for myself right away, but we couldn't afford it. The THRIVE experience is only $5 per day (plus S/H) but to order a whole month's worth at once... well, we couldn't do it right away. It took us about a month to have the extra money to invest in this for me. When my box arrived, I literally jumped for joy!! I don't know if some of you want to try THRIVE but the money is holding you back... to you, I say: talk to me. Maybe I can help. At the least, I can pray with you that God provides the money so you can feed your body these amazing vitamins, probiotics and minerals. I want everyone to have a chance to feel this good... to feel this refreshed.... to feel this energized. It's worth every penny. Have a great Saturday and hope you get to make some wonderful memories with your families today. ‪#‎thriveischangingmylife‬ ‪#‎thankGodforThrive‬ http://sarahcollison.le-vel.com

 
THRIVE Day Thirteen:  woke up, took my THRIVE vitamin capsule, drank my protein and probiotic shake and then applied a DFT (wearable nutrition patch) to my right bicep.  As you can see, it is after 9 pm and I am just now getting the chance to sit down and write my THRIVE blog.   It has been a wack-a-doodle weekend so far.   I'm thrilled that tomorrow is Labor Day so we have one more day of random happenings before we're back to the daily grind.  I had a rough day yesterday (disappointing news, baby not napping and being fussy for hours, etc...) but last night, we had a marvelous time with our friends Eric and Lisa and family.  I am so thankful to have lovely friends in my life.  It really is a gift from God.  This morning was church and it was SO good!  I didn't even get to hear the whole sermon because I had to get the little ones settled in nursery and that took a while... but what I did hear spoke deeply to my heart.  Pastor Jay spoke about how unforgiveness and rebellion (an unrepentant heart) are bad seeds that will grow in our lives which will cause bitterness and anger and a whole lot of nastiness... and it will also prevent God from moving in your life if it is left unresolved.  He encouraged us to dig deep and take our offenses to the Great Comforter and lay them down.  We may have had lots of bad things happen to us in life... crappy things... but God is in the business of taking that crap and turning it into fertilizer, using it to make fertile ground so that good seeds can be planted and bloom in our lives.   Our Pastor's wife, Carol, spoke briefly about how it doesn't matter how long we've been a Christian... we ALL have things that we need to take to Jesus and let Him wash us clean of it.  We have to choose DAILY not to be offended.  The bible says in Luke 17:1 that offenses WILL come.  We have to choose to walk in forgiveness, to love, to put others first, to trust God and know that He is our defender.  After leaving church on the way home, we got a flat tire.  Sigh.  Talk about highs and lows and highs and lows... all... weekend...long!    Still, we choose to remember that we are blessed.  We choose to be excited for the great things that are happening in our lives.  We choose to be thankful for it all... the good and the bad because even in the bad times, we grow, we learn, we build character, we teach our children that yes, 'flat tires' happen in life but we deal with it and we move on.  I choose to be happy.  I choose to thrive. 
 
THRIVE Day Fourteen: woke up, took my THRIVE vitamin capsule, drank my protein and probiotic shake and then applied a DFT (wearable nutrition patch) to my left bicep. I am still feeling the surge from yesterday's DFT on my right bicep, so I went ahead and left it on there. I intend to take Today on full force and make the most of it. I am have very ambitious 'To Do' list... that also involves ...finding something fun to do with my kiddos on Labor Day. I'll have to 'wing' that one. I'm also starting my 5K training today. I have mixed feelings about it. I'm excited to get moving and training towards a goal... but I haven't figured out yet how to make the time (what to do with my kids). Today, the kids will go with me. Scott is working (Yay and Boo) and my Mom is out of town so it'll be a family adventure. I am starting to live life with a 'No Excuses' mind-set. There's a bunch of reasons why today isn't a great day to start training (not feeling great, Maggie slept horrible last night, I've got all the kids with me, I'm bummed because Scott is working today, etc...) BUT.... I choose to be motivated. I choose to THRIVE. ‪#‎thriveischangingmylife‬ ‪#‎thankGodforthrive‬
