Hello Everyone, Please read this post and help the ones who are suffering in Haiti. Duane

We spent Thursday in Los Angeles sharing the USANA message with a host of celebrities, and we’ll share the same information on Friday with a new group of Hollywood stars.

We sent tweets, updated our Facebook status, and wrote blog posts featuring celebrities who learned about USANA and its top-rated nutritional supplements.

That is fine, but we all know what’s being done here in no way compares to what is happening 3,000 miles from Los Angeles right now.

When I returned to my hotel room tonight I flipped on CNN and watched Dr. Sanjay Gupta tend to a 15-day-old baby who had suffered a severe laceration on her head following the massive earthquake in Haiti. The good news, Dr. Gupta said, is that the child, whom he cradled in one arm, doesn’t appear have a skull fracture.

Talk about a reality check.

It’s heartbreaking to see the turmoil and unimaginable suffering the people of Haiti are experiencing following Tuesday’s devastating earthquake.

Several of us at USANA received a message from Dave Phillips, president of Children’s Hunger Fund, encouraging us to call upon our immense network of caring and compassionate Associates to help in the relief effort.

I wanted to share part of Dave’s note with you with the hopes you would pass it along to your friends, followers, or other social networking connections.

I know many of you contribute to CHF through your Autoship each month. For that, USANA and CHF thank you. If you don’t, this would be a great time to start (Item #899).

But for now, please visit CHF to donate or call (800) 708-7589. A simple $24 donation will provide food and other aid to a family in need.

USANA has already helped in supplying aid to the Haitian people as some of the funding for an initial 1,800 Food Paks came from USANA Associates who support CHF monthly through their Autoship contributions, CHF said.

Here is part of a message Dave Phillips sent the day following the devastating Jan. 12 earthquake:

At this hour, the children and families of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, are in misery. A massive 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit the city, flattening homes, hospitals, and government buildings. Haiti is the poorest and most underdeveloped nation in the entire Western Hemisphere, so this tragedy is being experienced by the poorest of the poor. You have read the news, so you know the devastation is everywhere.

By God’s grace, we just finished training the pastors and ministry volunteers who will make up our brand new Mercy Network in Haiti and the Dominican Republic (DR). These churches are well established in the impacted areas and are ready to mobilize in an effort to respond to the devastation.

The food we sent them last month just arrived on Wednesday. That means that if this earthquake had happened last week, CHF would not have had an opportunity to provide direct help so quickly. Instead of being used in our planned distributions, we have released all of the Food Paks on board (1,800 in all) to be used to make an immediate impact in relieving the current suffering.

Right now we anticipate needs for canned, ready-to-eat food, water, blankets, tarps, hygiene items, first aid, and cooking implements.

As you know, CHF is known as one of the most cost-effective charities in America. With 99% of all revenue going to programs serving children in need, you can be certain that your gift will be used with integrity. You also have the confidence of knowing that we are working with a trustworthy network of pastors and ministry leaders who have been established in Haiti for 18 years. It is because of this trusted network that we are working so feverishly to help. We know their efforts will be widespread and effective.

Thank you for your compassion and help as we serve the needs of the children and families devastated by this disaster in Haiti. Let us glorify God by providing assistance to those who are suffering right now.

Thank you for your continued support. Here is more information about CHF’s earthquake relief effort.

Jim Rohn was one of my mentors and with great sadness I share that Jim, left us December 5, 2009 for a better place.

Over the past 18 months, in his battle with Pulmonary Fibrosis, Jim said with a smile that all is good, that he would fight until the last breath, yet he had no fear as to what would be next. Jim’s faith was as much a part of his life as his desire to inspire and challenge us all to be the best we could be and to live our dreams. Jim’s courage in his final months and days were a testament to his message that we should all fight the good fight. He never gave up and never gave in.

Here are 12 lessons presented by Jim on how to live a great life. Really powerful stuff.

Please enjoy this article by Winsome Coutts on How Do You Raise Happy Kids.

As a grandmother and self-help writer, I’m often asked by readers, “How do you raise happy kids?” This is a question near and dear to every loving parent’s heart. No matter what we teach them, if we haven’t taught them how to be happy,

or can’t parent in a way that makes them feel happy, it’s rather all for naught, isn’t it? So it’s a very pertinent question.

I’ve been blessed with having two happy children and two happy grandchildren. I applied certain principles in raising my kids, and see my son and daughter-in-law apply the same in raising their adorable daughters, Klara and Stina. In this article, I’ll share two tips I’ve learned along the way.

The first is the importance of modeling happiness. You can’t give something you don’t have. How can you teach kids happiness if you don’t have it yourself? Some parents think loving their family means living only for them, driving them everywhere, cleaning up after them, and putting their kids’ needs and desires way ahead of their own. Parenting shouldn’t turn us into a short-order restaurant or a cleaning or taxi service. It does for some parents. That teaches kids a bad lesson.

A child who perceives his parent as a servant, someone whose life has meaning only through catering to his whims, learns to be selfish. He comes to believe others exist to do his bidding. I have a friend who was raised like that, and she tells me when she grew up, she kept having the strange feeling, “Where are all the servants?” Being catered to was such an ingrained part of her childhood that adjusting to adulthood was difficult for her, because “the servants” were missing.

Kids who are raised this way tend to feel the world owes them a living. So breaking out of the “doormat” mode, if you’re in one, is pretty central to giving your kid a chance at a smooth transition to happy adulthood.

When you take care of yourself, make time for yourself, and do things that make you happy, your child learns those behaviors from you. If she sees you going for your dreams and making decisions based on your inner truth, she learns that doing those things is good. On the other hand, if you model dropping everything to fulfill her latest dictate, she learns that parenting means self-denial and victimization. She may then become a self-effacing parent herself or go the other extreme and forego parenting entirely because it looks like such a sacrifice.

So to raise happy kids, be good to yourself. Treat yourself with respect and dignity the same as you treat your child. Don’t allow disrespect toward you any more than you’d allow someone to be rude to your kids. Make time for your creative desires and dreams. Plan in some scheduled personal time each week (or day), and make sure that you take it.

Let your kids see you’re doing this, and tell them the reason: “Mommy needs to have some fun, too,” or “Moms need time every day to relax.” This shows your child that you value yourself, and that personal time is important to everyone’s happiness.

The second tip I’ve learned for raising happy kids is the tremendous value of focused attention. The best form this can take is uninterrupted, one-on-one personal time with your child. Think back to your own childhood and some of your happiest memories. Chances are they include that hike you took with Dad, or the time you and Mom went to the restaurant for a dessert.

When we set aside an hour or two to be with our child, away from distractions and interruptions, we tell him he is important and loved. Giving focused attention is much more powerful than the diffused attention kids get while we cook dinner, drive them somewhere, or break up conversations to take calls on our cell phone.

Children thrive on loving, focused, personal attention the way plants thrive on sunshine. Structure in some focused attention every day, even if it’s only for five or ten minutes. Look at your child when he talks to you, so he knows you’re completely with him. In love, it’s the subtle things that count.

Giving focused attention teaches self-worth: your child knows she’s valuable because you value her, enough to carve out time for you and her, uninterrupted by the world, for those moments. That spells love, and when she knows you love her, by your actions not your words, that brings security and heart fulfillment, essential foundations of happiness.

In this busy world where parents work two jobs and where kids’ social calendars can rival those of debutants, it isn’t easy to make time to take care of yourself and uninterrupted time for you and your child. But for happiness, nothing could be more important. Think about your schedule, what is nonessential that you can cut out, or wasted moments that you can eliminate. Use that harvested time to be good to you and your kid. Your child’s happiness, and yours, depend on it.
