| Greetings and well wishes!
Thank you so much for taking time to visit our website. It is a
great privilege to be able to share our knowledge and passions with so
many. In way of introduction, I wanted to share a few words about what
sparked the birth of Forget Perfect ... NOW; healthy lifestyle
solutions you can live with.
After becoming seriously ill in 1999, I struggled
to develop a healthier lifestyle without simultaneously making myself
nuts. It seemed the whole process of learning about, shopping for and
cooking healthy food (in comparison to my microwave/fast food
existence) was just too much to fit into my busy schedule. So
many times I wanted to just give up in frustration; my “to do” list
felt like an exercise in futility. But I was determined to get well,
not only for my sake but for the sake of my family, and realized I had
no choice but to find a way to make it work. Good health wasn’t an
option, it was a necessity! Eventually I came up with some wonderfully
creative solutions to obtain the support I needed.
Along my journey I realized I was not alone. It
seemed there were busy people everywhere who wanted to improve their
health but just didn’t have the time and information to make it happen.
There were so many conflicting messages out there about what “healthy”
even looked like. EVERYONE was already overcommitted. And, for the most part, the food industry had already created a sort of convenience that had clearly seduced most into pretending that boxed, packaged and processed foods were the Holy Grail.
It was this
realization that caused me to take the solutions I had created for
myself and bring them to market. So there I was, the former
ten-times-a-week McDonald’s drive-thru queen, building a business that
helped overloaded and overwhelmed people build lifestyles that improve
their well being, increase their energy levels and reduce doctor visits.
Today I am delighted to report that I have
recovered fully from my illness and I am feeling better than I
have since I was in my twenties. Turning 50 this year was a true
opportunity to celebrate the new me. I have a strong and healthy body,
am free of any kind of illness, rarely catch even a cold and have
plenty of energy to make it through my still challenging schedule. And
the guys at the gym all tell me I look fabulous!
So there you have it, the short story about my looooooooong journey.
I am blessed to have the opportunity to share what I have been
learning with others. I am equally excited to be able to partner with
talented professionals in nutrition, culinary arts and the medical
field to bring you manageable solutions that will make a difference in
your world. I look forward to hearing great things about your progress
and welcome your questions, comments and feedback anytime.
May you enjoy life and live in healthy abundance!
