Creating Our Industrious
Vision Boards at
EXIT REALTY
WELCOME HOME BROKERAGE |
It was a cold, dark and bleak January evening. Our small town was dull with Christmas behind us, most of us itching for companionship, craving to begin our 2018 new year wishes. I was yearning to connect with my small town tribe. I turned to a page, to an invitation to a night of just that. It was an invitation from Tamara and Larry Culham from EXIT REALTY WELCOME HOME BROKERAGE to spend the evening creating the very enterprising and aspirant Vision Board. Relief quickly sank in. "Get me out of this house, grab my coat, let's go now!" Immediately I realised how being cooped up for winter was sapping my spirit. The Canadian hibernation was real and being invited for a night of cut and paste, crayons and markers, glitter and glue sticks were precisely what the Dr. of cold and drab ordered. The snow on the ground was crisp, the air stung and bit my cheeks as I slipped and slid over to our first annual vision board community event. I sat down where the people were. I relished in what I saw before me. There were people, my people, they had faces, nice faces, new faces, different faces, faces not covered by dark or buried by heaps of snow. I became eager to use my crafty tools for creating my vision for 2018. I picked up my orange colour, childproof preschool scissors meant for recreational nights of cut and paste; my desolation drifted. I joyfully escaped into my vision board, happily sitting with the other resourceful women. All of us seemed immersed in the industrious task of the night's activity. I then heard a voice!
Sitting across from me was my new ally Sandy Philp. As I peeled away the crafters glue stuck from the palm of my hand, Sandy asked what my collaged visions were all about, and what my dreams were?
"Huh?" My desolate tongue still not able to fully speak in complete word format, I shook away the cold of icy isolation. I had to verify that Sandy was speaking to me directly, being cooped up for months as a Canadian, seems to have a tremendous effect on our ability to grasp one on one conversation. Once I realised that the questions were formed towards my direction, I was able to have my first conversation with a female companion in 2018!

| Juice Plus Whole Food Nutrition |
My spirit came back to me and as Sandy and I spoke of her dreams and mine, we began a fond friendship. Sandy told me about her grandkids, her love for them, and how she hoped for their dreams to come true. Images of her grandkids were pasted everywhere on her vision board. Sandy explained to me that her grandkids were one of the reasons that she joined Juice Plus, a network marketing company four years ago. I loved Sandy's stories about her grandchildren, it was endearing to hear such tenderness from a grandmother, the love for them was imminent. Really though, I was much more enamoured with the reverence that I was actually forming a bond and friendship. My vision for 2018 was set.
I got to know Sandy over the winter of 2018, we spoke many times over social media, we got together for coffee dates sipping chai lattes, we wondered how our lives would change, knowing they already had. And as many times that we liked and loved each other's posts, our fond friendship grew out of a vision board. It was the night we busted out of our groundhog existence and joined in the company of new friendly faces.
I asked Sandy more about Juice Plus. I was interested in learning more about her dreams, what inspires her and how the whole food source has helped her and others? As she shares information and education about Juice Plus, its many health benefits, which have no side effects. Sandy is the first choice as an aid offering educational support to all who are hoping for a life change that offers an increase in better health habits. Juice Plus bridges the gap of what you should eat, it comes in four bottles, with 32 Fruits, Vegetable, Berries and a new Omega Blend. She has seen how it helped her husband almost immediately after taking the fruit and vegetable whole food, relieved to see that his blood sugar levels returned to normal. She watches as her grandkids become better students, eager, alert and ready for school, performing at escalating levels after introducing the healthy chewables into their morning routines, at home and before breakfast. She sees friends who decide to include this health aid become stronger, more focused with an increased lifestyle nourished with energy. Sandy lends support to those who are not wanting to take pharmaceuticals, she teaches about the many ways that Juice Plus adds to the support of a complete and strong physical health.
I asked Sandy, what changes she and others notice when including Juice Plus into their daily intake of nutrition.
"There nails become stronger, their hair more full, they become more active and involved in life, their allergies are ridden, people are getting better sleep, and their health concerns start to fade." Sandy explains that she loves helping people with their health concerns, educating them and watching their health return to normal, this is her most valued part of being a Juice Plus Virtual Franchise Owner. It comes in the form of a capsule and as a soft chew available for children. Each consisting of the proper nutrients that Fruits and Vegetables, Berries and Omegas are packed full of. It is a whole food that is full of essential vitamins and minerals, giving balance and proper nutrition that our lifestyles sometimes won't allow for. For example, the Omega blend supports the broad array of health benefits especially for the heart, the brain, joints, skin and eyes. With 36 researched studies conducted along with Doctors who have been supporting patients in the use of this whole food, offering them more value and support for those who wish for an alternative to health. Doctors are seeing great strides in their patient's health and wellness and are actively responding to those who wish to include Juice Plus as an advantage for an active and well-balanced lifestyle.
For me as the winter snow has melted, with a few chai lattes shared, with many hugs and well wishes of friendship, Sandy has offered me as her ally and aid. Where she recognizes the value of enriching lives with the benefits of using Juice Plus. Her vision is to educate and to share her and her families success in health since becoming part of the Juice Plus family.
It was only a week ago, during my morning ritual of connecting, commenting and posting in the usual pages of our social media. I wrote a "fun" inspired post about my longing to find a journal, but how I was having a difficult time finding an attractive shopping source that would cure my craving to journalise. In plainer terms, "Our town doesn't have journals for sale..." Sandy must have read my pleas and during one of our networking meetings of circle and trust, she gently drops a journal placing it quietly on the table in front of me. The notepad was full of space for me to scribble in. It immediately brought me back to the night where we crawled out of hibernation, to sit with our bustling vision boards, also placed gently on the table before us.

Sandy Philp
"With a vision of health
for her family and friends" |
We had a great time that night creating our vision with glitter and glue and our handy, yet practical preschool child-proof scissors. Where at that meeting what we created was far more than a dream car, what we mastered that night was a lasting and true friendship infused with the satisfaction of complete companionship. What happened that night in the bleak and the dull of the winter, was two women busting out, forming a bond! Where that bond was perhaps and in fact our vision. Sandy leaves an imprint of trust in health and wellness, she is truly empathic and a friend who cares. One who will be an ally and aid on your journey of all that you envision. With the help of Juice Plus and the lofty creation of our vision boards, Sandy is one who I would consider an antidote to health, happiness and in the joy of friendship.
