"AFTER THE DEBUT" SUCCESS STORY

 

"I am actually having a ball just being noticed and recognized for my product.  This is success within itself.

You may publish any of the comments below.  These are my true feeling and how much I appreciate your organization." 

 -Darlene Houston


"It has been truly a blessing. I have received several telephone calls, e-mails as well as people stopping me to "Congratulate" me on my new venture. I have had feed back where sisters and brothers who are passing the article on to others to read and view.  That is very POWERFUL. The feed back I have received is the Debut Article was presented very timely and professionally. My plan is to share the comments I have received with you.

Lastly, if it was not for GOD allowing me to take this GIANT step and putting the right people into my space to encourage me to adventure out into the uncharted waters, I would not be here today.

Ladies, if you have an hidden talent or business idea you would like to present to others, try sistersinbusiness.net."

Warm Regards,

Darelne Houston

How to Balance Those Tempting Holiday Treats with Good Nutrition Tips  

by Felicia Wilson

 

 

'Thinking small also is a way to avoid big calories!

 

Tis the season to be tempted—by momma’s good cooking, holiday parties and treats lurking around the office

 

There are several strategies for making your way around the buffet table at family gathering and/or the office party.

 

I hear you asking: How? Well you can better resist holiday treats with a little preparation. First and foremost, do not skip breakfast or lunch.

 

You can have a lower-calorie meal earlier in the day, make sure you don’t starve yourself because you are sure to overdo it when it’s time for the party.

 

Also, consider the connection between what you wear and what you eat.

 

It has been recommended that you wear clothes that are close-fitting so that when you eat enough you are sure to feel it, and when you feel it STOP!

 

Please be sure not to wear clothes that are uncomfortably tight, because this could cause significant discomfort.

 

Potluck is a good time to prepare eye-appealing fruit kabobs or a low-fat recipe from a light-cooking magazine.

 

Other strategies:

 

  • Maintain variety in your food consumption each day.

  • Watch portion sizes.

  • Watch the fat in your holiday diet; stoke up on fruits and vegetables to satisfy hunger.

  • Drink a couple glasses of refreshing water before party-going or party-giving.

  • Have a piece of fruit or raw vegetables before party-going or party-giving.

  • Be aware of the calories consumed when the cook tastes while cooking.

  • Avoid, where possible, the excesses of extras, gravy, cream, mounds of butter, sour cream, mayonnaise and hidden cheese.

  • Choose white poultry without the skin.

  • Balance your social circuit with a few walking circuits around the block.

  • Avoid eating standing up.

  • If you decide to splurge, make it worthwhile by selecting something you really enjoy, then just have a small portion.

People with existing conditions such as heart disease can try nuts and snacks that have unsaturated fats. Those will keep you satisfied but also are heart-healthy.

Even small physical activities help burn those extra calories:

 

  • Go for a walk at lunch.

  • Use the stairs instead of the elevator.

  • Play active games such as Twister at family gatherings.

  • Walk to your mailbox instead of rolling down the car window as you go by.

 

Last, do not be too hard on yourself and attempt to start a diet during the holidays. Your goal can be to maintain your weight.

 

 

Look for the Sisters In Business Health and Fitness monthly column written by "Faithful Fitness" Instructor Felicia Wilson.


"School Bus Driver" Appreciation Month

by Tekelia C. Kelly, Editor

 

I cannot say enough how much I appreciate all those who teach, work with, and help in the development and well-being of our children.  Today I would like to point out the school bus system, both the drivers and those in dispatch for the service they provide us.

 

Like teachers and many others who have been an extension of my parenting, by offering their guidance and care to my children, particularly when they are away from me; the school bus drivers have also played an important role in the lives of my children.  They have echoed my direction to my kids, watched out for them at bus stops, and gone the extra mile in helping with lost items or illness.

 

As a kid, my first encounter with the school bus was during the days of school bussing  back in the seventies in Chattanooga.  I rode the bus from then my ninth grade year of  middle school through a large part of my high school year.  Now having relocated  back to Chattanooga from Memphis-three children later, with an 18 and 20 year old now driving cars; I get to experience this special community tradition via my eleven year old son.

 

I hold in high regard school bus drivers, and offer them my utmost respect.  For it is our "precious cargo" (children) that they are carrying to and fro on their bus routes, following a schedule designed to assure that the children arrive at their primary and secondary institutions of learning on time.  While doing this, these wonderful drivers must be able to navigate the roads, pedestrians, other drivers, and weather conditions; manage behaviors and the well-being of children; adhere to school policies and bus driving regulations; and secure the safety of everyone on the bus.  This is a job not to be taken lightly by the driver, nor anyone else.

 

The school bus system is another example of how our society advocates community service, education, and the accessibility of families and their children in our education system.  These are values that are still a priority in our culture.

 

I thank God for all of our special gifts and talents, and the different abilities we have each been shaped with that equips for our  jobs.  I personally do not know if I could be a school bus driver.  But I do know that I am so very grateful to those who are.  They are truly to be commended for taking on such a serious job and performing it daily.

 

Would you please join with Sisters In Business in showing appreciation to the school bus driver(s) in our lives during the month of December.  Maybe you can send a thank you or holiday greeting card, or some other token of appreciation before school lets out for the holiday season.  Our school bus drivers shoulder an awesome responsibility of transporting our children from their homes/pick-up points to their schools, then back to their end-of-the-day destinations. 

 

Hence, another thing to be thankful for this Holiday Season--our School Bus Drivers!


Be wealthy, well, and wise this season with Professional Services  Providers waiting to serve you.
