Living Our Quality of Life with High Quality Fuel By Jordana Kennedy
These days everyone is
talking about whole foods!
And so we should be.
Since the 1950’s our society in North American culture has
been moving slowly away from eating real food. We have
become dependent upon eating prepackaged, convenient,
yet nutritionally void, edible products. It has gotten so bad
that tomato sauce on pizza is considered a vegetable serv-
ing for school lunch programs.
The truth is, this is what is making our society sick. Eating
meat, dairy, animal product heavy diets with very little
fresh vegetables, fruits, nuts, unrefined grains and seeds,
has depleted our bodies to the point that we are essentially
processed people. Oh right, don’t forget we are happily
spending more money on processed vitamins for the cher-
ry on top.
No matter what nice clothes and fancy skin products we
put on our bodies, our cells are craving real food. Food that
is full of natural vitamins and minerals to make us glow
from the inside out.
About 3 years ago I started a business called GreenBelly-
Chef.com. I was inspired to teach people the benefits of
making living plant foods the basis of our diet. I am not
alone in this movement. There are countless documen-
taries, books and internet advocates for living a whole
foods plant based lifestyle.
Food a
nd F
un
The main issues people face with this type
of lifestyle is “I can’t cook, I don’t have time,
and it’s too expensive”.
My answers are simple. It’s easier than you
think! I promise.
You can’t afford to leave your health up to
some major corporation that is profit driv-
en. Honestly, you spend so much less when
you are not focusing on processed foods,
meats and dairy.
Plants are actually cheap. You just have to
find the right ones.

There are thousands of awesome recipe blogs out
there. I actually don’t blog and create new recipes.
There are tons of existing options. I educate and
enlighten others on the preventative health bene-
fits that are available to anyone that wants it.
I simplify and demystify the facts about what is
good to eat. And I make it easy for you to make it
your own.
My favorite blog of all time is
www.ohsheglows.com. Angela makes recipes so
easy based on excellent whole foods. Over the
years I have enjoyed her creativity, and I have nev-
er been disappointed.
It has been documented that most of the popula-
tion spends 70% of their medical health insurance
in the last 3 years of their lives. So many people are
walking around feeling about 40-60% of their possi-
ble vitality, experiencing some kind of pain, inflam-
mation, or illness.
I propose that you spend a greater portion of your
budget on the fuel you put into your body and less
on what you paint, rub, dress, decorate, tattoo, and
accentuate your body with.
Now I learned a long time ago that most of our cul-
ture just will not give up meat or dairy. Regardless
of how good this could make them feel and the
documented health benefits, these foods are simp-
ly too ingrained into our identity and culture. I pro-
pose you simply focus on eating plants, and put less
emphasis on the animal products in your diet.
Eating organic meats and dairy solely and only
eating them a few times a week is a great place to
start. Fish and seafood is not a better choice, don’t
be fooled. We really don’t need to eat protein eve-
ry meal of every day. High protein diets are actually
dangerous for our heath. We need to give up
eating these foods for macronutrient value, and
simply eating them because they are a treat that
we enjoy.
We have been totally brainwashed to think that
meat, especially lean meats are a necessity. This
simply isn’t the case. Learn more at
www.forksoverknives.com and start learning the
truth about eating plants and the natural phyto-
chemicals that come in them.
How about eating only your favorite animal prod-
ucts? Moving towards being a weekday vegetarian,
or an “occasionatarian”? This is obtainable for eve-
ryone, and believe it or not the less animal prod-
ucts you eat, the less you crave, or want to eat.
When you do eat animal products, how about
eating small amounts so you savor every bite, and
really enjoy the food for what it is? Respecting all
the energy that went into growing, raising, and de-
livering it from the farm to your table. Get away
from foods that move from the chemistry lab, to
the factory, to your pantry.
When you do feel like a chocolate covered treat,
eat it, and enjoy it and then get right back on the
real food train.

You will learn much more about all the
free information available to you on my
blog www.greenbellychef.com, and my
Facebook Page: Green Belly Chef. I am
also on Twitter, Instagram, and Linkedin. I
review documentaries, books, blogs and
share recipes I try and approve. Coming
soon will be downloadable diet counsel-
ing plans.
So maybe these are new ideas to you,
and I am excited for what you are about
to learn and live. Maybe these are already
practices you hold. Maybe you think I am
nuts, and are happy with the way you eat
and live. All I know is that I ate the stand-
ard American Diet (SAD) for most of my
life and so did my husband. It actually has
been a ten year journey for me to get to a
point where I know that processed food is
dangerous to my health. This knowledge
far out weights the brief enjoyment I
would get on my taste buds. It takes my
body hours to digest what takes me mo-
ments to ingest.
I figure since this is the only body I get
and it’s the only thing that is sticking with
me till the day that I die, I better give it
the right fuel to keep going instead of
bogging it down with the wrong low oc-
tane gas. Literally since most processed
food ingredients actually come from oil,
nasty.
My diet counseling leads others to focus on eating
from the fresh side of the fridge and relies very little on the freezer and
pantry.
Fill your fridge with easy foods you can grab and eat, so you will be
eating more fresh living foods that will bring life and nutrients to your
body. Try something new each week. Rotate in one new fruit, nut, vege-
table and move out one animal product. If you totally can’t live without
yogurt, don’t start there. Instead choose to not eat cottage cheese from
now on, even if it is available at a party. As much as there may be issues
with the organic food chain, it is so much cleaner than the conventional
farming food industry. Pesticides, herbicides and sewage sludge really
are as bad as you think. We should not be eating petro (oil) chemicals!
No matter what anyone says. Organic food costs more because that is
how much growing food actually costs, when you do it the natural way.
Sure organics are a trendy and successful industry, but with the public
demanding more and more of these foods, the prices are coming down,
and the access with continue to grow. You hold the power with your
purchases.
The best way to really be connected to your food and to protect your-
self from thousands of chemicals is to find a farm that you can buy from.
Meet your farmer and find out what he thinks about growing your food.
I found the most amazing organic farm just outside Phoenix in the west
valley. BlueSkyOrganicFarms.com, is the most amazing, organic, inte-
gral, family owned farm I have ever had the pleasure of knowing and
enjoying. I will always be grateful for the efforts, early mornings, re-
search and love these farmers put into the food that has nourished my
family for the last 3 years.

Here comes summer, Quicker than we would all like. For most, it’s taking vacations; BBQ’s and fun in the sun. It is
a great time to sun time with the family. People wait all year to be able to enjoy the outdoor ac-
tives in the sun. Pool parties, swimming, and maybe a trip to the lake are great water activities but
as we all know comes great responsibility. It’s important to watch your children around water.
Sometimes we take it for granite that the gate is locked or we say they know how to swim. But the
truth is that most accidents that happen are not for these reasons, because of the adults being pre
-occupied and not paying attention. Many times we are just engaged in the now. Summer months
are meant for fun. Here are a few water safety tips to ensure a fun fill summer around water.
Make sure there is an adult present at all times, Hopefully, with some CPR training just
in case. If you have a pool party; elect someone to be the lifeguard. Have some fun let them dress
the part. Get others involved.
Provide safe activities for the kids. When at the pool make games that involve
floating devices, at the lake use small portable rafts with life vests.
Establish rules for your family and enforce them. Set limits based on each per-
son’s ability, do not let anyone play around drains and suction fittings, and do not allow swimmers
to hyperventilate before swimming under water and have breath-holding contests.
Fun in the Sun!

Even if you do not plan on swimming, be cautious
around natural bodies of water including ocean shoreline, rivers and lakes. Cold temperatures, currents and underwater hazards can make a fall into these bodies of water dangerous.
Avoid alcohol use. Alcohol impairs judgment, balance and
coordination; affects swimming and diving skills; and reduces the body’s ability to stay warm. Stay safe not just around water but all the time. Our children are so precious, let’s take care of them.

Dovie shares with us how she balancing her life as a mother,
wife, Soldier, and successful business owner has her kept her closely
connected with God, appreciative of time and motivated to help
others. Dovie was born and raised in Centreville, MS. She joined the
US Army right after graduating high school. Being an entrepreneur
and a strong work ethic is deeply rooted in Dovie, as her parents
were business owners for as long as she could remember. Her par-
ents tag teamed the business: her father is the retired owner of
Jefferson Roofing Company and Jefferson Trucking Company, while
her mother managed the companies.
Dovie is married to Andre Lanns Sr. and they have six beautiful chil-
dren together (Destinee 20, Andre Jr 16, Lacarey 15, Alex 15, Imani
11, and Daija 11). Dovie and her family moved to Arizona in Decem-
ber 2012 from Fort Bragg, NC. Dovie is an Active Duty Soldier of 16
years and she is currently stationed in Scottsdale, AZ. Dovie is a de-
vout Christian and attends Kingdom in the Valley Christian Church in
Avondale, AZ.
Dovie started Divine Domestic Cleaning Service with helping others
in mind. God gave Dovie a vision to help others. After seeing so
many of her close friends and fellow U.S. Army Reserve comrades
unemployed and struggling financially in today’s economy, Dovie
decided act on the vision God laid before her Divine Domestic Clean-
ing Services was launched in 2011. Dovie’s employees have hope
and the ambition needed to push through economic adversity. Dovie
believes in making a difference and that difference is made when
her employees are kept out of the unemployment office and able to
provide support to their families.

money, commitment, and dedication to this organization;
providing free cleaning services to women during this time of

small things in life, like being able to physically prepare your
own food or simply sweep the floor. To see the smile on their
faces and a display of overwhelmed, gratefulness brings joy to
my heart. We show them we care, purely, by providing a hand
with cleaning and conversing about things that interest and ex-

ple with dignity and respect is a recipe for success”. If you

In 1979, I was 25 living in Atlanta and miserable… even though I was a rising
star in the Big Eight Accounting Firm where I worked. It seemed that I was either in the car
driving to work or working. I had no time for a social life and I kept thinking that if I
was going to be working that hard, it should be for something I owned. I had grown
up in an entrepreneurial home and seen my parents build businesses and invest in
real estate. But my plan had been different. My parents dream was that I would get
a college degree and climb the professional corporate ladder somewhere...and
things were going well for me according to that plan…except I was miserable.
My own entrepreneurial spirit hit me over the head one night. A client called me on the phone and
offered me an ownership position in a company he was investing in located in New Hampshire. It had
an innovative new technology and I had the opportunity to get in on the ground floor. How exciting!
So I remember sitting on my bed with a tablet writing the pros and cons of changing professions.
Did it have a large upside? Yes. Could I always come back to public accounting? Yes. This was as far as I
got and suddenly my hand took over and wrote across the top of the page “WHY NOT?”
I stared at the page for the longest time…and realized I couldn’t answer that question. Instead of being
a conservative accountant wanting all the answers to the question “WHY?”, I decided to take a leap of
faith and say, “Why Not!” Ever since, this has been my personal mantra and the question Why Not is
always a part of my decision making process.
Not too long after, I realized that this company was a mess and my professional credentials were at risk
as a result of financial omissions and corruption within the organization. One day I returned to the
company and found lawyers at our offices, lawyers from the opposing side of a legal action that had
been started well before I had joined the company. They were performing “discovery” which means
they were looking through our documents to find evidence to support their claims in the case. The
lawyers had been kind enough to wait for me to return to go through my office and apparently had
“elected” one attorney to search my office. His name was Michael Lechter.
Yes, I met my future husband when he was “going through my drawers!”…literally! He was sitting in my
desk chair when I came in and we shook hands over my desk…and there was an electric shock that we
both felt. It truly was “Love at first sight!”

While at the
time it seemed like I had
made the biggest mistake of
my life trading my public
accounting
career for one of entrepre-
neurship, it turned out to be
one of the best decisions
because I met the love
of my life. Michael and I
were married nine months
later and are celebrating 34
years together this year
and I have made a career of
entrepreneurship, which
has been immensely ful-
filling.
Over the years I have built
several companies and been
a part of global brands such
as Rich Dad and The
Napoleon Hill Foundation. I
would not have enjoyed this
level of success without
asking myself that
important question while
sitting on my bed in 1979.
But like many successful
women, I had to overcome
some challenges along the
way.
One of the questions that I
am most often asked is how I have been
able to achieve work life balance.
Several years ago a member of my own
team, a young woman that I have men-
tored and have had the
pleasure of watching grow as a profes-
sional and a woman passionate about
what she does, came to me
for guidance on this very subject. A
young mother, she was already experiencing the struggle that
many
women do to figure out how much work and family time is the
right mix. This is an issue that I struggled
with myself for many years. When I was working, I worried that I
was not with my family and when I was
with my family, I worried that I should have been working. I spent
many years caught in this cycle and lost
countless hours to worry and anxiety over the idea of having
“balance”. I finally realized that my guilt and
worry was really the result of an expectation that came from some-
where other than myself. With this came
the realization that rather than searching for the right balance,
women are better suited pursuing satisfaction
n in all areas of our life- and then applying the mix of work and
family life that gets us there. What works for
me is not necessarily right for another woman and what works for
another woman may not be the right
combination for me. But neither strategy is wrong, because it is
right for us individually. Book Release
June 17th, 2014
Ultimate Woman International May/ June 2014
Instead of seeking work/life balance, I want women to seek ONE BIG LIFE! This is why I have written
Think and Grow Rich for Women. The book celebrates women who through their wisdom,
encouragement and enthusiasm have helped other women and provides a blueprint for women to
define and achieve their goals, live their dreams, overcome obstacles, and seize opportunities. I want to
replace the “work-life balance” guilt trip that so many women struggle over with the desire to live “one
big life” filled with love, family, success, and significance.
The original Think and Grow Rich was written by Napoleon Hill in 1937 from a male perspective, when all
of the titans of business were men. While the steps to realizing success are the same for men and
women, I believe we approach those steps very differently from men. Think and Grow Rich for Women
applies Napoleon Hill’s wealth-building principles to the lives of modern women, combining Hill’s classic
13 Steps to Success with the insights and experience gathered from hundreds of remarkable women--
including Sandra Day O’Connor, Angela Merkel, Condoleezza Rice, Tory Burch, Mary Kay Ash, and Ginni
Rometty.
My vision for this book is that we change the dialogue from negativity about the
work that is still to be done (and there is still work to be done) for women and the
need for more female leadership… to a conversation where we celebrate how far
we have come and built from the momentum that has been created for women in
education, business and in economic leadership. By changing our dialogue from
negative to positive we will see even greater strides in female leadership…and see it
much more quickly.
Think and Grow Rich for Women will be released on June 17th and is available now for pre-order at
www.sharonlechter.com/women. Each pre-order comes with a valuable bonus gift and the book
includes a fabulous resource guide to get women started on their next steps to success!
May you be blessed with success!

When you think of using trade in your business you’re probably
thinking of the last time you attempted to create a one-to-one agreement
with another vendor for a specific job or occasion, using goods or services
as payment instead of cash, right? While this type of agreement can work,
more than often it does not. One or the other party winds up feeling as if
they put more time or effort or value into the agreement than the other.
And yet, corporations use trade all the time, quite legally and ethically, to
not only builds their businesses but to enjoy perks such as jets, vacations,
cars and more. How do they do it?
Instant Barter, LLC is teaching businesses and every-day citizens
how to tap into and leverage trade every day. What does it look like? Ra-
ther than trading time, services or products, the value of those tradable
goods is turned into Trade Dollars at a $1 for $1 ratio. So,
“A” may have something that is worth $300 to trade, “B”
may have something worth $100 to trade, and “C” may
have something worth $1,000 to trade. Could they work
together easily in a standard trade relationship? Not likely
and definitely not easily. But turning the value of those
items into Trade Dollars allows that value to be traded just
like cash. Now imagine that ability to trade expanded to
100,000s of businesses around the world in an online,
searchable marketplace that is easily tapped into. What
happens?
A couple approaches INSTANT BARTER about help-
ing with their wedding. We handle the flowers, rings, dress,
tux, music, cake, caterer, photographer, video, venue and
even a photo booth for fun! How much did we just save
this couple and their families, thousands! It is a simple ex-
ample of using the power of trade to have a better event
while not breaking your bank account. We can do this with
any event, business or even for private individuals. IN-
STANT BARTER has even worked on movies expanding their
budget to help them out as well.

That’s just one example. There are thousands of
examples every day of people being able to buy gifts for
themselves, family, friends and clients, take care of medical
issues, and buy cars and much more! “Barter is a POWERFUL
tool IF it is used correctly” Ana Hawk (CEO/ FOUNDER of
www.InstantBarter.com) is always saying. “Expanding your
mind and accepting a different economy is just smart busi-
ness in this or any economy,” Hawk says. “We want to ex-
plain to people that in the 70s-80s in the heyday of business,
when everything was bonus, just for doing a good job. What
most people do not realize is that was all trade! It does not
matter what the economy is doing, you can have that life-
style now for you, your family and especially for your busi-
ness and employees.”
What Instant Barter is finding now is that people have a lot
of questions about how barter works. “Barter is the Original
economy, having started civilization. People just need to see
it as the currency it is. The true definition of currency is
something you and I agree has value and we trade.” Hawk
says.
The New Economy

Imagine an entire generation of kids growing up knowing how to leverage
trade and save their cash.” www.MyBarterGame.com
Barter is growing like wildfire too. Instant Barter, LLC is just over three years old
and yet is already in 11 countries around the world. To truly serve their customers
and help people make the most out of their trade dollars, Instant Barter is expand-
ing their corporate offices into new regions, training more quality representatives
and offering even more opportunities to take barter to the next level.
The “BARTER AS A POWERFUL TOOL IN BUSINESS and LIFE” is
coming soon; an accredited training course for businesses to learn how to leverage
trade to grow their business. It includes modules on taxes, cases studies and more.
It will be available online, as well as in-person in select areas, and provides stu-
dents with one credit hour of college level credit in business.

When we start to think about fashion here in the desert, one might envision Southwestern
styles to Wranglers and cowboys boots possibly adorned with a cactus or a gecko. And of course, let's
not forget the bolo tie. Way back in time, this might have been the style. Well not anymore. Arizona
has etched its mark in the world of fashion with its very own unique styles from some local on‐the‐
move trendy boutiques. If you can't afford a new spring wardrobe nor want to auction off your first
born, there are a few simple tricks to sprucing up your existing wardrobe. One true benefit of living in
the valley of the sun is transforming a winter wardrobe into spring. Its relatively simple. Arizonians
battle the harsh winter (low of 52 degrees) by layering our tops or adding a cute furry vest with your
favorite denim to show off your own style. But now that spring is upon us, it's time to shed some of
those layers. Ditch the vest and add a floral print or a lightweight colorful scarf to accentuate your
look.
It's That Time of Year
I had the pleasure of
attending the Phoenix Fashion
Week 2014 Spring into Fashion
event recently, and was wowed
off my feet. When I feel spring in
the air I think maxi dresses, big
floppy hats, bangles and a
favorite pair of hoop earrings.
Locally owned and operated
Clothes Minded Boutique carries
some eye‐catching and most
unique styles for this spring
season. This floral maxi dress is
the epitome of springtime. Paired
with a floppy hat, you are ready
to be out and about by day. OR
switch it up a bit by exchanging
the floppy hat for long gold
chains and a sassy wedge sandal.
Then it's off to date night or
dinner with the girls.
If there is a budding fashionista within, please set her free.
DON'T be afraid to embrace all the colors this spring has to
offer. Floral prints are everywhere. Nothing screams girly like a
colorful springtime sundress. They say "orange is the new
black". I say, orange is the "IT" color this season particularly
when infused with some yummy teal and green hues. For
those of you who do not partake in the ambience of bright
ensembles can rest assure the neutral family is going nowhere.
So let's not forget to incorporate some earthy tones into your
revamped spring wardrobe for 2014. Just you watch and see
these inviting colors all over the map.

DO keep an extra set of baubles on you to be easily switched out from daytime to night. The unique vibe
Clothes Minded Boutique brings to the fashion scene is
endless.
One of the must‐haves for this spring is definitely a
casual yet fashionable white top. If you don't have one, DO
run out and get one. This white peasant top is easily
matched up with stylish distressed denim or a maxi skirt.
Frayed denim has finally made a comeback, yeah! There's
nothing like running errands in your old tattered‐looking
denim and still look like a fashion icon. DO add a sexy pair
of basic black pumps to this shabby chic ensemble to set
the scene just right. DON'T forget to accessorize
accessorize accessorize! Bangles and my favorite hoop
earrings are a staple for my daily outfitting.
Image from Clothes Minded Boutique For those of us with an edgier sense of style will love the Allie Ollie
Boutique. This local designer and owner boasts bright bold colors with
designs that will bring out the inner sassiness in any woman. From
psychedelic patterns and animal prints to floral styles that suit any girl's
need. DO add one of the unique and colorful tunics to your spring attire.
They're just plain old fun! And DON'T forget to pick up a pair of Allie
Ollie leggings. It's an essential item to have on hand. Black leggings go
with almost everything. I always keep an extra pair on hand. Whatever
your taste may be, be it a dress, palazzo pants or tunics, Allie Ollie will
most definitely deliver to women of all sizes. DON'T forget to add some
AO spicy(ness) to your wardrobe.
Whether you're on a tight budget or not making the simplest of changes to enhance your new
spring look can make all the difference in the world. DO accentuate your look by adding colorful
accessories like a scarf or a to‐die‐for piece of jewelry. There is no right or wrong to fashion so have
fun with it. Happy shopping!

veryone has a different idea of beauty. This is true because everyone has their own likes and dislikes. Decide what it
means for you. Most women agree that the best way for you to feel beautiful is for you to be comfortable in your own skin and to have confidence. Haven't you seen people who weren't that physically attractive but were so confident that they took on a special kind of beauty? That can happen for you as well. Find a beauty regiment that can give you con-fidence and allows you to walk proudly in your own shoes.
Most of us know that beauty is only sin deep. It really is how you take care of yourself and your body.
You don’t have to look like a super model to look great!

Ways to keep your
Relationship NEW!
7 R

1. Take a long walk or drive!
This can be a great time to spend undivided attention together. You
might be amazed at how effective this small gesture might be. You
don't to travel far just get a change of scenery.
2.Cook together!
Plan a meal and time for both of you to be in the kitchen. You might be
surprised at how spicy things can get in the kitchen! The hotter the
better!!
3. Be polite!
Remember to say thank you for the everyday things they do. Be supportive on all the days.
Some people live in the past that can ruin a relationship, but the truth is you have no control
over what happened in , the past nor control of the future. Live in the now and be grateful for
the ones you love. Being respectful takes less energy than being mean.
Ultimate Woman International May/ June 2014
4. Do Something out of the Norm, be
spontaneous!
Keep the spark alive in a long term relationship sex should not have to be a
chore, or something thing that you have to fit in our schedule Like Dr. Phil
said "Use it or lose it!"
5. Don’t forget your friends!
All relationships need some outside influence, not necessarily as a couple but as indi-
viduals. Stay in touch with your friends. Go out, do activities together. Although spend-
ing times with you friend may not fit into your schedule it is healthy not to depend sole-
ly on one person to make your happy.
6. Look your best!
Of course you can't look your best all the time. But remember when you first meet?
You planned your entire wardrobe on your future dates. You got your hair done, nails
feet and tried on like 10 outfits. Well keep that "first time" in mind. Get that perfect
piece of lingerie and some candles going and have fun!
Cuddle! 7.
