Dear Sleek Med Spa
Dear Sleek Med Spa, Here is why I deserve to win.
In 1997 my doctor diagnosed me with a large fibroid tumor. I was put on medication to stop the production of estrogen in my body. Over the next four months of treatment, I gained 60 pounds. In December of the same year, I had a 10 pound tumor surgically removed, and the medications that put me into a false menopause were stopped. My body went through a second puberty when the estrogen production was started again. I gained the normal 15 pounds with that.
Ever since this time I have fought unsuccessfully to lose weight. I ran two miles a day with no results, dieted with no results. My only hope is to have the fat surgically removed. I am not unhealthy, no cholesterol issues, no high blood pressure, EKGs are clean... etc. Unfortunately I am not in a financial position to do so. My last employer bounced 14 pay checks to me. which caused a sever drain on my savings account.
I am a performer and as I am sure you are aware, my appearance can make or break my career. I also am a huge social networker, and would be willing to document every step of the procedures both on my sites as well as allow you to use it for your own marketing.
You asked me to tell you why I deserve this prize, I am above all a good and giving person, I have recently gone through some very rough times, but I still try to remain positive. I know things will get better. I hold that knowledge deep in my heart and that helps me get through the rough times. I really could use a pick me up. This makeover would literally change my life. I could physically be the person I know I have always been inside before all the meds. I think that there are a lot of people who like me had just accepted their fate. I had to have the surgery, it's just a side effect I need to learn to live with. The fact that the make over would so dramatically change my life would inspire others to have the same thing done.
Please help me be the me I have always been inside.

You have to DO something to SUCCEED
Some days you wake up an you know you have something that you have to do. I woke up this morning and had to write this post.
So many time it’s easy for us to sit back and make excuses. What we don’t think about though is that all the excuses we make lead us nowhere.
How many times have you said I really need to do something, but I’ll just do this first. Odds are the thing you know that you really need to do doesn’t get done.
Many of you know that I have started selling Avon, and that since May of last year I have essentially been unemployed. At first I had no real worries. I had been unemployed before and had always found a job. After about 8 months of knowing I had always found a job, I realized that I also had never been unemployed this long before. It was time to take a different course of action, so in addition to sending literally thousands of resumes, I am now selling Avon.
The reason I bring this up is that in order to make Avon work I have to take action. It is one of the reasons that I am writing this post. There have been many days I have thought maybe I should wait until…. I get my name tag, I will look more professional. Maybe I should wait until after I order this week, after all there are only a few days left to gather orders so it’s better that I wait so people will have longer to look at the books… Maybe I should wait it might rain today…Maybe I should wait, my blisters still haven’t healed from last time. You know what I don’t ever find myself saying maybe if I don’t pay my bills this month my creditors will let me slide. It’s pretty much a given that if I don’t pay they will cut me off, the bank will foreclose on my home, and I will be left with nothing. When you have something you want to accomplish, you can't just sit an wait for it to happen.
IN ORDER TO SUCCEED YOU MUST START BY DOING!
I have new customers each and every campaign, why? Not because I said maybe tomorrow, but because I said yes, today! Granted it’s easier to sit home and say maybe, but easy doesn’t help anything.
In August of 2007, I had just been dumped... yes again. I needed to have surgery on my foot, and in the same mall that they foot doctor was in there was a restaurant that did karaoke. I had not sung in years, but I wanted to go. I had foot surgery scheduled on Friday afternoon and karaoke was Friday night. I could have said "Maybe I will wait until next week" "Maybe I should practice at home first" Maybe..... I didn't say maybe. I went, and because I ignored the maybes, got invited to sing at a private club the next week, and because I went the next week, I got more confident and with in a couple months was contacted by a producer who was interested in doing a CD with me. Within 7 months I had my first CD done and it was on the market! now less than 3 years later I am looking at doing my 4th CD. I have been in the top 10 Jazz Artists in South Florida since June 2009 and this week I hit #1 and rank 1,016 in the world! (When you consider how many people there are in the world this is an AWESOME place to be)
Yet I could have listened to the maybes. I can not tell you how glad I am that I didn't. I could still be sitting on the couch saying "Maybe I could go next week". Do yourself a favor: don't wait!
Learning not to give in to the “maybes” is hard. It causes you to take action. Scary thought that you actually have the power to take control of your life. I say be BRAVE and rip out the page in your dictionary that contains the word “maybe” or “try” or the phrase ”I could if” JUST DO and you will succeed!. One of my favorite quotes is “Do or Do Not, there is no try” – Yoda
Why not make today the stat of your Doing? You'll be amazed at the results

On February 18, Avon celebrity partner Zoë Saldana visited the Dominican Republic along with Bob Briddon, Group Vice President, North America Marketing, and helped deliver a generous donation of Avon products to the Dominican Republic Red Cross to aid in the Haiti earthquake relief efforts.
The trip comes a month after every North America facility held a clothing drive to collect much-needed items such as clothing, bedding, towels and personal care products for victims of the earthquake. Thousands of boxes of donations were collected and then shipped to the Dominican Republic facility which served as a staging area.
Saldana, Briddon and Maria del Carmen Sanchez, Country Manager, Avon Dominican Republic, joined Associates in delivering the donations to the Red Cross. They were greeted by a flood of press, as more than 50 media outlets met the caravan, and interviewed Saldana, del Carmen Sanchez, Briddon and Red Cross volunteers about Avon's contribution. Later in the day, Saldana posed for photos with Red Cross staff and volunteers in front of the truckloads of supplies.
