Mona Vie is the latest craze... and really good for you.

These days we're all striving to be the best we can be. Whether it's family, career or health, there's a lot competing for our energy.

I stumbled on an interesting product that has the potential to assist my current diet and exercise program and potentially add a couple bucks to the bank roll.

Mona Vie is a relatively new fruit juice to the market place. It is a blend of several fruit juices with the main draw being the Acai berry. It has all the phytonutrients and antioxidants your body needs to stay healthy. The product I purchase has glucosamine to aid in joint strength. The product is packaged in wine like bottles, and all you need is a shot of Mona Vie in the morning and one in the evening to see the benefits. It also tastes really good.

I mix it in my protein shakes before a workout. It's a real meal replacement that way as well for anyone trying to watch their intake a bit. There's a rumor that a shot with vodka makes a nice Mona-tini, and hangovers may not be as bad... we'll have to test that I suppose.

The other benefit (and it's a biggie) is that the product is only available through Mona Vie distributors... Michigan is a relatively new territory for the product, and although I have been a bit of a skeptic about multi level marketing programs in the past... this one actually has a product that is beneficial to health, and one I actually personally use. A distributorship runs $ 39.00. A very small price to pay to get in on the ground floor of a potentially huge product boom.

Ground floor and tons of activity can equate to a nice paycheck if you work the program.

If you'd like more information about a distributorship or product, give me a call anytime.

In like a lion out like a lamb...

March is the best... we typically start to see light at the end of the snowy tunnel by the end of the month. Then there's St. Pattys day, where everyones Irish (even my kids :0)).

We just returned from our "Christmas visit" to the Army base. We were able to leave the kids with a couple late christmas gifts, and a nice strain of the flu I obtained en route.

The morning we left, the temps were in the teens, and we enjoyed weather mostly in the 70's out there... temper that with the fact that they live in the middle of the mojave desert, where the most entertainment you get are the howling coyotes at night, and the occasional tank round shaking the window blinds... oh yeah and our almost 2 year old granddaughter that is developing quite a mind of her own. I thought I was having flashbacks of raising Jessy all over again... they're almost twin personalities seperated by 21 years. Don't miss a couple of the pics below, Bella is really growing fast.

Jessy is really enjoying her grad program, and her boyfriend Anthony will be graduating this spring from Western. We are planning a graduation trip for May for them... stay tuned for details.

Kelly & I squeeked in our February motorcycle ride logging in 12 miles on 2/21. It was really cold, and I was chipping ice off the driveway for three days prior, just so we could get out of the yard. 31 months straight and counting.

Make sure you read the post below... it gives a little insight about how to treat the current market. It is a great time to buy if you're a first timer, or if you're buying up... (formula for the buy up below).

As always, thanks for keeping Kelly & I in mind when you run across anyone with a real estate need. We appreciate your referrals... also click the link above (My listings), to see the great homes I have for sale.

See you next month
