TriVita

I arrived downstairs at 7:30 am Wednesday morning to be picked up with Brazos Minshew and Cody Ramsey to fly to Tampa. Terry Newsome, Matt Sommer, and Mitch Lover were already on the road and nearly to Tampa. I called Terry and asked them if they got any sleep as Terry was sending pictures for the Orlando blog at 3:30 in the morning. These guys are working hard. What an incredible job they are doing. Terry told me they didn’t get much sleep, but we are going to have a great luncheon in Tampa.  

The room was packed again, and we gave up our table to the unexpected guests for lunch and had a table set up in the last square foot of space available in the room. Brazos did a great job telling the Nopalea story and helped people come to an “aha” moment that “if we live in a toxic environment where the air is polluted, the water is polluted and the food is grown with pesticides and fertilizers, we are inflamed. This is because the body has to respond with inflammation to any invader that creates an imbalance or is unnatural to the cell.”  People got it! 

It was great for me to meet Kelly Reese, Charles and Karen Possick along with their son, Joshua. These tours are wonderful opportunities for me to meet people that I would never normally meet otherwise. 

Terry and I had a 2:30 pm private meeting with a serious builder who loves Nopalea. It was exciting to hear a major builder from the field say it has to start with the product. The benefits of the product are going to drive this Nopalea explosion. After the meeting I was less than two hours away from sound check and needed some food, as I can’t eat lunch and do presentations at same time. I hadn’t eaten since 6:30 in the morning! This road work really changes one’s routine, but I love being with the people.   

Hearing the wellness stories of people on Nopalea only for a short period of time is firing my jets.  These are not just little feel good stories…these are people whose lives are being dramatically changed. Denise Wilson’s husband suffers from diabetes and from neuropathy so bad that he could hardly walk. He is now up moving and jumping around like he is 25 again. She had people attending tonight just because they saw the near miraculous recovery of Bruce on Nopalea.  

The momentum is building on the tour….I got a report tonight that the Tina Gonda group in Charlotte is, as Terry Newsome says, “on fire!” Can’t wait to get there, as that is the beginning of the next three tour cities. 

We end this leg of the tour Thursday in Atlanta. The luncheon has jumped way beyond our expectations in Atlanta. We have some really outstanding new people and potential new builders there. I have always loved the anticipation of fishing especially for trout. Going from city to city has all kinds of anticipation as to who you are going to meet that could be another Presidential Director. I want more leaders in TriVita. If you know a special person in any of the upcoming cities, sponsor them at the luncheon, even if you can’t be there. 

It is late and I have to be up before dawn!!!

Tampa's valued volunteers!

As the wheels of our plane touched down in Orlando, I had an immediate flash back to 11 years ago before we founded TriVita. I remember talking to a business associate about a desire I had to found a company that would have a mission of bringing wellness to the world. A company where people would be passionate about wellness and would share the products and wellness information with others. That was the first person outside my family that I shared this idea with.  Now 11 years later, what an incredible joy to see thousands of people, medical professionals, employees, Affiliate Members and Members involved with TriVita and sharing wellness.
