I woke up from my sleep with something very heavy on my heart. I tried to simply turn over and go back to sleep, but I could not. I felt a sudden urgency in me. One that would probably better serve me during the day when I could do more, but the thought was this: I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING. Even if at almost 4 a.m. all I can really do is write a blog, I have to do something.
A little over 5 months ago I made a pretty significant shift in the direction my life was taking. Actually, it was more like a sudden stop. In the midst of this I jumped on a business opportunity with a company called Enlyten. My parents, who have been very successful in many different venues of the business world, introduced me to it. What caught my eye was its cutting edge strip technology as a delivery system of a variety of products such as energy and antioxidants to the body. You see, I have always had trouble with pills. I have a terrible gag reflex that makes it very difficult. The melatonin strips helped me to experience a restful night sleep, which I don’t ever remember having before. But I shortly learned something about the company that really caught my attention and made it clear that what I was apart of was much bigger than finding a source of income or a product that boosted my energy levels.
At a company launch in Dallas I learned that Enlyten had partnered with a Christian non-profit humanitarian organization called JAM (Joint Aid Management), which had discovered an effective way to meet the nutritional needs of children in Africa and had been seeing tremendous results over their 25 year presence there. Their research shows that every 8 seconds a child dies for reasons connected to lack of nutrition. That should be sobering and unacceptable to us, but unfortunately too many people read that, think nothing of it, and do nothing about it. I pray that you are not one of those people who can hear about the reality of suffering and return to life as usual. Now, I am not suggesting that everyone sell all their possessions and give everything they have to the poor and suffering, I am just saying we can, should, and must do something! I have found my way through Enlyten‘s partnership with JAM. A percentage of all I earn goes to the feeding of children in Africa. This partnership was one of the main selling points for me, because they not only feed help feed them, but we also provide Antioxidant strips to the children which delivers much needed vitamin and immune support to their bodies.
As I said, there is an urgency surging through me to do more. I want to be part of changing the destiny of these kids. I am in the process of developing some innovative concepts and events to raise support for JAM and to make people aware of the need and vision they represent, as well as the involvement and partnership of Enlyten (specifically the Empowered Living Network). I am excited and passionate about what is stirring within me and look forward to telling you more about it and the difference it is making in the world!
