Thankful for

2013

I am thankful for so many people. Many I may not even know that helped me, supported me, sent me positive thoughts and prayers. Thank you! I also want to thank some of my big champions this year: Yvette Quantz, Marlene Koch, Gagan Sarkaria, Kathryn Fink, Elaine Hastings, Micheline Green, and Kim St. Andre. And thanks to my staff Lara Dague who never hesitates to lend a helping hand. I am so blessed.

I am grateful for my husband, whose unwavering love and support keep me upright! I’m also grateful for my beautiful children, who are growing into wonderful people – and thankful that the Gratitude course helped me stay focused on what’s really important to “notice” in your children. I also share so much gratitude for my Nutrition Entrepreneur professional group and professional association. Working as a solo freelancer, it’s so important for me to get out and connect at conferences and network with this amazing group of people. So many women within that group have inspired me over the years, and many continue to do so. Thank you!

I am thankful for my new family here in the Quad Cities.  I took a leap of faith moving here from FL 6 months ago, but love had been very rewarding!  I am thankful!- Kit

"Thank you Sue Stonitsch for helping me reach my goal of hiking to the summit of Pikes Peak at 14,100 ft! She is so selfless. She could make it to the top in half the time it takes to stay back with me!“

I am grateful to Teresa Pangan who has helped me stay positive and focused on those achievements in meeting my goals. I am grateful to Yvonne Silva for introducing me to WOVI. This truly is an organization that gives back. I am grateful to belong to the Fathom Realty LLC family. Their model has allowed me to grow financially and be able to give back to my clients. I am grateful to my past clients who have contributed to over 85% of my business through their referrals. I am so ever grateful for the path that GOD has taken me. I realize that sometimes the darkest hour is an experience that one goes through to truly appreciate that which matters most and as light begins to seep through each ray is a blessing and should be valued as such. I am grateful to Lina Dodson who over the last few years has been a tremendous friend and coach. She is selfless and compassionate with her students. In general I am grateful to every path I have taken, every person I have met, and every event–positive and negative that has led me where I am. My being is and will continue to be a servant of GOD in helping others.

I am grateful to the Nutrition Entrepreneur (NE) Board over the last 7 years (whom I admire and follow), and all of the amazing NE Members who never hesitate to share, inspire and keep our profession on the cutting edge. I am grateful to see dietitians with amazing talents spread their wings and soar doing what they do best with passion, perseverance and professionalism..like you Teresa!

~ Emma Fogt

Thank you to the stranger that was there right when I needed them: a smile, eye contact, listening ear, open door, patience with me, let me go first in line when my day was not going according to 'plan', return a lost phone, return my mail to my box that was mis-delivered, and the understanding glance when my kids or I get out of sorts. 

Thank you!

Thank you to God for my family who brings me so much joy each day. I am so grateful that I get to stay home with my children each day. I want to thank my parents for always being there for me and for always setting such a good example for me to follow. ~ Lara I also want to thank

Teresa! I haven’t ‘worked’ outside the home for several years and she took the time to train me to do social media work for her. I didn’t even have a Facebook or Twitter account! She had faith in me and has taught me so much! ~ Lara

I am grateful for every person and every experience I have had to lead me to where I am today. From my ever supportive family, to the clients and mentors who have inspired me, to my colleagues who have encouraged me, and to my team members who are dedicated to serving our clients and creating inspiring designs and products. A special thanks the visionaries in the field including (but not limited to!) Molly Kimball, Teresa Pangan, Jessica Setnick, Emma Fogt, Nancy Clark, Molly Kellogg, Margie Geiser, Jean Caton and Wendy Jo Petterson. I want to thank my head designer, Stephanie Weibring, for her creative skills and dedication. Finally, a big THANKS to the faithful clients who have trusted working with me for either their business or personal health goals. I have the utmost gratitude and respect for them and their feedback, support, and inspiration for new products and services!

Thank you to the many people that

have helped me that I did not

thank. My words of thanks with a
