Sherry D. Fields, Sales Consultant for Warm Spirit, is known as "The Million Dollar Sales Earner". Sherry is the first person to achieve this status within this organization and within the Direct Selling industry alone, this is a HUGE accomplishment and would lend one to ask the question of "how" she did it.

With today's uncertain economy many are seeking ways to supplement their families' income and/or looking for inspiration to start their own businesses. Sherry overcame unemployment, a chronic health issue a weight issue and has been able to accomplish financial independence. Her story provides inspiration and solutions for everyone. She used her fear of losing her home, job and pride as the catalyst for her accomplishments. Sherry's motto today is to stay "Healthy, Wealthy & Wise". Now that she's in Atlanta, she has her sights set on a nutritional program to help people eat better, which makes their health better and as a side benefit even lose weight.

Sherry has been featured in Essence Magazine, and Success South Florida due to her success in the Direct Selling industry and holds the title of "Consultant of the Year" for 2006 & 2007 with Warm Spirit.

She credits organizations like, The Joy of Connecting with helping her attain new business. “The Joy of Connecting®" is a tool to aid women in connecting to resources, building relationships and growing their businesses. Take a look at their website: http://www.thejoyofconnecting.com for more information.

Sherry leveraged organizations that she had a relationship with to start her business. She I worked on a local basis with church bazaars, women's events, anywhere she could set up a table for a low cost, also partnering with an art gallery prior to the Christmas holiday – it was a very successful cross promotion where Sherry promoted the art gallery her clientele and the gallery promoted my business to their clientele. A true win/win. As the business and her confidence grew she branched out and started attending conventions, seminars, and workshops and introduced the business and products to the attendees.

Events are critical because while the company is showcased, people came for information and relationships were created from there.

In 2003 her team created a Serenity Sanctuary at a national Black MBA Association convention. It was basically a spa and relaxation area in the middle of a convention. Everyone loved it and it was one of the most successful events she ever did.

Sherry has worked with E-Women Network, The Joy of Connecting, Give 'N Take and the local Chamber of Commerce, health fairs at local corporations and all of which have been a great venue for meeting people.

Sherry has helped countless women who want to lead a healthy eating lifestyle with the side benefit of weight loss through her lifestyle eating plan called Juice With Me , a guided 7 day program where you learn how to detoxify your body with fresh juices and various daily care activities. Results have been amazing:

- eliminated inflammation in my body

What Does Health Mean to You?

By Meira Findel

Health & Wellness Editor

For each one of us the answer to this question is different. Let me share with you what it means to me and maybe you will resonate with it…

Life is full of pieces that need to fit together to make a whole picture, just like a puzzle. When all the pieces fit we feel great. For me that means that means spirituality, relationships, finances, and physical well being.

Recently I added a wonderful healer, Jozef Pinter, into my routine that has helped me balance a few things in my body and it caused a ripple effect in all the other areas of my life. Right after tax season ended I began a regimen of detoxing. However the detox wasn’t only in the physical but also emotional and spiritual levels.

When we detox a lot of things surface and it can be a little scary however with a wonderful support system of healers and teachers it is the path to heaven on earth.

Detoxing creates space for something new. A new way of thinking, living, of being.

Jozef Pinter is a wonderful healer, full of love and compassion. At heart Jozef is an inventor and he invented several products that I believe will revolutionize the medical community.

What sets Jozef apart from others is that he customizes a treatment plan of energy work, detox, foods and supplements specifically for each individual client.

I guarantee that if you are committed to this process, as I am, you will change everything about your life and create a life full of passion and energy.

You can find Jozef at the Princeton Holistic Clinic in New Jersey. He can be reached at 609-921-6700.

There are many opportunities to network at the Clinic. Check out their meetup group at: http://spiritualism.meetup.com/337/

What Does Health Mean to You?

Networking your health

By Louise Flodin, Health and Wellness Editor
Louise's Bio Email article RSS feed Share on facebook

Network your health by asking your family and friends their favorite procedures for a healthy living lifestyle. Email health tips to your favorite people and ask them to email you health tips. Attend health seminars and gain new insights. Take time to ask questions of vendors when they are at your health food store and markets.

Vinegar is not just for your salad:

I have been using two tablespoons a day of raw unfiltered organic vinegar for over a year. I tried missing it in plain water it was too harsh for me. After experimenting with different combinations, I prefer t mix the 2 tablespoons of vinegar with 4 oz’s of organic grape juice and 4 oz’s of pure water. You may prefer another juice combination.

The effect it has had on my arthritis is a lovely surprise. The swelling in the joints of my hands has decreased significantly. My skin is smooth to the touch. I no longer use face make up. This is just a couple of the many benefits of taking vinegar for health has provided me.

I use “Bragg Raw Unfiltered Organic Apple Cider Vinegar.” It contains no preservatives and is USDA Organic approved. Their vinegar is aged in wood like fine wine. The care taken to produce their vinegar comes through in its refreshing flavor...

Networking your health

A Look at Wellness

By Danielle Lum, Hawaii Bureau Chief

I heard about the networking event sponsored by the Hawaii Wellness Directory and decided to see what it was all about. I knew right off it would be different than other business networking events I’ve attended in the past as this event was being held at Tropical Smoothie, home of some of the healthiest smoothies and food in Hawaii. It was a very different venue than a hotel conference room or the Plaza Club.

I didn’t quite know what to expect. In my mind, I envisioned the types of people who would attend a wellness networking event and came up with the stereotypical: massage therapists, acupuncturists, herbalists, and mystics.

I was in for a nice surprise because the people and businesses represented were all over the map and quite interesting in both their businesses and their joie de vivre. To be sure, there were acupuncturists, aroma therapists, and massage therapists in attendance, but there is much more to wellness, as I was soon to learn.

First to introduce herself was Heera, who wanted everyone to know about her company’s Ecstatic Dance Jam classes. Ecstatic Dance, where you move as your spirit is inspired, opening you up to creative self-discovery, profound healing, and meditative bliss.

Suffice to say that once she got going, I was 100% certain that I was in for an interesting and educational evening.

Here are just a few of the attendees that caught my attention:

North Shore Naturals. The reprsentatives shared samples of their Spirulina and Ginseng Popcorn. I shied away from the ginseng because it was spicy, but the Spirulina popcorn was unexpectedly tasty. As a person who can eat popcorn for dinner, I found the Spirulina popcorn a welcome and healthy treat.

Studio Be. I really enjoyed Moana and Sandy from StudioBe, owners of a Downtown Honolulu event venue that supports artistic, intellectual and cultural endeavors. The two women are devoted to making a difference in the community and their words were peppered with a passion that is sometimes lacking in Hawaii’s business circles.

Dahn Mu Do. The Aiea Dahn Center holds classes for this Asian energy-based healing art is a mind-body training method using martial art postures and healing principles. Like most Asian martial arts, the focus is on mastering the mind though discipline.

Home and Harmony Inventory Service. These folks help before a disaster strikes by documenting, photographing, and recording your personal property giving you peace of mind in case the worst happens. Their motto, “Those who prepare the most, lose the least.”

After the introductions ended, I sought Heera out to let her know that while I found the concept intriguing, I just didn’t have the courage to go to her Ecstatic Dance class. She corrected me by saying, “You don’t have the courage…yet. But we’ll keep inviting you.”

I confessed in my last column that I consider myself rather shy. Let me digress a little to say that when I tell people that I’m shy, most react with unabashed disbelief, and usually a lot of sarcasm. After all, my profession is public relations. Networking, presenting, and socializing –things that extroverts are most comfortable – are all prerequisites in my career. And they’ve seen me fearlessly present to audiences of 300+ people, provide counsel to C-Suite executives, and help others feel comfortable in group situations. I certainly don’t appear shy to the casual observer.

Digression over. Although I am shy, I fully recognize the value of meeting and getting to know others so I compel myself to attend networking and other events. During the event, I put my networking skills to work, getting to know people, finding common ground, finding out about their business and what makes them tick, etc.

I usually leave networking events and meetings feeling a little drained. The energy it takes for me to be at my networking best is quite high, and I’m left needing some quiet time to recharge my batteries.

But leaving this wellness networking session was different. I left feeling ... peaceful. I took the powerful, positive, and healing energy generated from others in the room and channeled it into myself. I was almost ... dare I say it ... giddy.

This group meets monthly. If you want to attend, you may email Lori Chaffin.

I can hardly wait.

Forgiveness

By Louise Flodin, Health and Wellness Editor Louise's Bio Email article RSS feed

To Forgive or not to forgive
that is the question:

Think about what hate has done to you and is still doing to humanity worldwide. Continuing to carry around and reopen wounds given us by others is taking a toll on our health in ways people don’t realize.

Take for example lost love, whether though divorce, death or innumerable other pathways; as humans we react to this situation and our reaction takes on many forms of illness. Illness can manifest itself in sleepless nights, migraines, asthma, or esophageal spasm the list is huge. Many suffer a general listlessness or slip into depression, not caring whether they continue on living on this planet while they spiral deeper into a black hole of despair.
