Kate started working out using the Beachbody Workout.  She feels great, loves the products and the workouts and that’s why she became a Beachbody Coach.  I can attest to her being totally motivated by the workout and the challenges and most importantly the results.  I’m 100% convinced that it works big time.  If you would like to talk to her about it here’s the link to find out more.

Millard Fuller Quote of the Week from Greg Bover

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

The Quoter is still sailing. Here’s another one of my favorites from the collection for your consideration.

“It is easier to act your way to right thinking than it is to think your way to right action.”

Millard Fuller (1935-2009)

Fuller founded Habitat for Humanity, which has built more than 150,000 homes for those in need in more than 90 countries. Volunteers build houses with the recipients, who then repay the cost of materials at no interest, revolutionizing the way in which philanthropy works. The holder of 50 honorary degrees, Bill Clinton awarded him the Medal of Freedom in 1996.
