October is here! It’s a good reminder to women everywhere to get their annual mammograms. According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, more than 200,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer across the United States this year, worse; approximately 43,000 will die as a result of being afflicted with the disease.

Touched by an Angel…Some people will come into your life for a very short time and yet make an impact on you that will last lifetime. I call them “Angels…”

Jean Elizabeth Skripek

Her name was Jean Elizabeth Skripek . We met 13 years ago during a difficult time in my life. Over the years she became my dear friend, confidante and a mother figure to me. I can honestly say from the minute I met her I knew she was special. She was beautiful inside and out. She was and still is the most intelligent woman I have ever met in my life.

Confident, strong, independent, determined, and a great sense of humor are just a few words I would use to describe her. As one friend eloquently stated, “Jean Elizabeth Skripek was a force of nature – a dynamo of powerful influence toward empowerment and positive action for all who knew her both personally and professionally”. “She will be missed by all whose lives she touched”.
I am grateful for having spent some privileged time with her having touched my life even if it was for what feels like only a brief moment in time.

On March 23 2010, Jean Elizabeth Skripek lost her battle with breast cancer. She fought for three years; against all odds she continued to fight in true Jean Skripek form. It is devastating to see your family and friends suffer with this. It is simply not fair.

I miss you and love you very much Jean. You will always be in my heart …

I cannot express how important it is to eat properly and take care of YOU. I strongly believe you can protect yourself by knowing what to do and how to do it; Diet, Exercise, Lifestyle and Environment play a role in your health. Don’t let cancer have any opening to get in and do damage that might not be reversible.

For the entire month of October, I will be donating 10% to the “Susan Love Breast Cancer Research Foundation” for every one of my 60 -minute “LEEN” (Lifestyle, Exercise, Environment & Nutritional) Evaluation and Analysis; Including a Customized Meal Plan, for only $38.00 this month, (Reg. $125).

Once purchased, you will be contacted immediately via email along with a health questionnaire which will help me, to customize your program! This must be filled out before our scheduled telephone appointment so that I can review it beforehand and then discuss it with you during our meeting. We will go over your lifestyle, environment, exercise and nutritional habits. We will look at hormonal health; We will look at the “WHOLE” picture!

We will then customize a plan specifically for you and your longevity!

We must protect and help ourselves and not let a disease take over what we earned the right to do…LIVE , LOVE and LAUGH..Fight back by having the knowledge you need to protect yourself and your family…

Please visit Aster Elliott to take a stand against cancer now and help to support the Susan Love Breast Cancer Research Foundation!

Thanks!  I look forward to helping all of you stay healthy and live a long happy life!
