Suzanne Chaney, Shaklee Distributor

Join My Mission To Turn Sick Care Into Well Care

To collect on “health” insurance, you have to get sick. To collect on “life” insurance, you have to die. Medicine today is focused on sick care. Well care is prevention and it starts with a simple 30 day challenge.

Suzanne has a graduate degree in biochemistry from UCLA. She had a career in research for the EPA, before becoming an entrepreneur. She has been a successful business woman for 50 years.

... You were indeed missed.

More importantly, Bring plenty of Business Cards and be ready to network!

"Appreciation"

You have heard me mention the word appreciation many times in my closing remarks each week. Appreciation is defined as " The act of estimating the quality of things and giving them their proper value" Inherent within that definition is the act of keeping value in its perspective or relevancy. One cannot really be appreciative of something unless he/she has experienced the opposite of whatever it is that is to be appreciated. I recently came upon a Tibetan prayer, that I wish to share with you, and one that illustrates this belief;:

"Grant that I may be given appropriate difficulties and sufferings on this journey, so that my heart may be truly awakened and my practice of liberation and universal compassion may be truly fulfilled."

I invite you to join me at the Chapel Hill Leads Group, this Wednesday morning, with a big smile on your face, a skip in your step, a song in your heart and an attitude of gratitude for the life you live, in this great country, America, the beautiful.

Respectfully,

Lee Schearer


Support the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina

Attention CHLG Members - The Chapel Hill Leads Group's goal is to raise 100+ boxes of cereal a month. If everyone brought one box of cereal to two meetings this month, the Chapel Hill Leads Group would easily exceed the 100 boxes of cereal goal.
