Mom, Am I Fat?
In an effort to have a greater online presence, I’ve been taking advantage of online social media. On Twitter (follow me here), I found Dr. Joanna Dolgoff, a pediatrician whose practice solely deals with child and adolescent weight management. She recently posted this fantastic article that guides parents in speaking to their children about obesity and their own body image:
How do you respond when your overweight child asks if she is fat? Do you sugarcoat the truth and tell her she is perfect? Do you go for the hard love angle and tell her that yes, she is fat? I would advise for something in between. <<More>>

Yarn, Lyrics & Ingredients
On Facebook, my friends have started writing their 25 Random Facts About Themselves...
Some things I learned: one was a crowned beauty queen, the majority had known their husband since either grade school or high school and one was a woman who went through Car Racing School. What I also found interesting was that my friends were more interested in the tools that would create something.... rather than just the finished product <<more>>

Lean on Me, Naturally(tm) Sauces
Salad Dressings and Condiments
Reading through our history, I saw a common thread: we certainly did start this business with three core business foundations: Tenacity, Hope and a Mission. In the last few months the first two have been tested, however our Mission has yet to waiver.
If I go blindly, reacting solely to my gut reactions: I know I am doing the right thing by launching Lean on Me, Naturally™. The truth is: we deserve more from companies who supply our food and feed our families. We deserve to be able to invest in ourselves and not have to make the choice between living a healthy lifestyle or ingesting chemicals and preservatives. <<more>>

More Praise!
More Praise for Moondance Marinade. Lori is a customer who has also been on her own Healthy Lifestyle program and through committment has been quite successful in changing her body in just a few months. Congratulations, Lori! You rock!
Soy and Cilantro: two of my favorite things put together in one great marinade. The Moondance Marinade is so incredibly versatile. I can pour it over vegetables, use it as a dipping sauce, or as a marinade on the grill, and I know the sauce is as fresh and healthy as the food I am putting it on. This marinade, and all the D'oni products, make cooking simple, healthy, delicious meals for my friends and family almost effortless. Thanks for making a healthy product, taste great.
