It was brought to my attention by one of the newsletter subscribers, Serena (who has a really cool last name, but I protect the privacy of subscribers..) that some of you might have received a newsletter this morning around 4:30 am before I went to bed (although up at 6 with a fire in my belly to get things done and tell my favorite natural health guys and gals all than I’ve been wanting to this past week) stating that I buy my groceries below cost – “meat and produce too”.

Yes, I know that might be the longest sentence ever!

That was one of the subject lines I used for the email I sent, and it didn’t dawn on me until Serena raised the question this morning, that it sounds like I must then eat meat.

Well, no, nor is it a secret, but if you didn’t watch the Angel Food Ministries videos that the newsletter described, than on the surface, that might be the impression. But, another thing I covered, which wasn’t mentioned because out of context, it can be a turn-off to people who aren’t, is why I became (and am still) a vegetarian.

I’ve never been one to stand up on a soap box and scream at people. And the fact of the matter is, the majority of my family eats meat, and most of the nation eats meat – and if I focused only on convincing people to “become vegetarian” than a lot of people I could be helping would never be reached.

If along this journey, that’s something you decide to do, more power to you – really. But, it is not by any means the deciding factor for me to want to help you, improve you and show you how to solve your biggest health issues, problems and difficulties.

We’ve got big things to accomplish this year in 2009. And the biggest, resounding message heard loud and clear from my neck of the woods from this past 2008, was that I have – WE HAVE – incredible REACH.

The more people I can educate, the more people I can help, give a leg up and transform into teachers themselves to help more and more people exponentially. I’ve seen the bigger picture, and it is Beautiful!

Thanks Serena, for reaching out.
