About Me

My photo
Life is a dynamic, one day never the same as the last, each moment a new adventure. That's explains my new philosophy. For years, I have relished in the fact that I was the mother to a wonderful daughter with no regrets and complete joy and satisfaction. I have been a wife, a daughter, a sister, an aunt, and a friend - roles that I have loved and always will. However, I have also been a worker, working for the dollar. No longer! Since the summer of 2013, I have been on a journey to rediscover "Lynnette" and find her passions and where she fits in the world. From here forward in my life, I will be embracing new challenges, finding a career that I'm passionate about, and cherishing each day as if it is my last. This is a blog about my journey. This is a blog about transformation and self-discovery showing that it's never too late to hit the reset button. Please join me on the path... share the journey with me. In addition to my new blogs, I have included some blogs that I'm written previously on a former site I had. I call it my "Best of..." blogs. Feedback is always encouraged and welcome. Enjoy!

I'm Thrivin' Baby!!


Update August 18:  After nearly 30 years of having shakes and tremors in my hands, they are almost gone completely.  I wasn't sure if it was due to Thrive, and I am not a scientist so can't ever be sure BUT, I did not not take my Thrive this morning to see what would happen and by noon, I was trembling again.  Again... not a scientific study, only my personal experience.  WOW!!

Here is some information about the product - Le-Vel Thrive Webpage

Many people have asked me what Thrive is all about.  Here is my story. 


Me about a month before 
starting Thrive!




Thrive is what I call my life saver.  I was living life like a zombie.  I just had no energy – barely enough to keep me functioning during a regular day. By one in the afternoon, I was DONE! I couldn’t stay awake, I couldn’t focus my thoughts anymore, and I didn't even have energy to unload the dishwasher.  Doctors just kept giving me more iron pills and increased my antidepressants. Dave and Phoenix were complaining that I wasn’t even part of the family anymore as I was always lethargic or asleep.  Heck, I couldn’t stay awake in the car going for a 20 minute drive.  I was literally wasting my life.  Most of my day was spent lying in bed when I wasn’t in school.  And I didn’t just sleep, I totally crashed!!!  I reached my breaking point when my friend told me that she had cancer and I thought to myself "There has to be more to life than me being a shell - I have to get better! I can’t keep doing this!"
Me, about a month into Thriving having
 lost 10 lbs at that point.
(Almost an hour glass happening there!)
Also going to the John Mellencamp Concert!!




Well, I saw my friend Carma posting stuff about how her life had changed with Thrive. Her story was similar to mine. Being a natural skeptic with everything, I was hesitant.  Finally, on that day that I learned about my friend, I thought - What do I have to lose? I have no life like this!! So, I texted Carma and told her that I’d be willing to give it a shot.


Well, it’s been over a month since I’ve been thriving, and my gosh!!! What a difference! I am not only awake, but I’m ALERT! I’m thinking more clearly now. I’m awake ALL day and when I go to bed at night, I fall right to sleep and have a wonderfully rested sleep. It’s incredible. And I lost over 10lbs.
I don’t crave junk food at all and I used to eat a whole bag of Tostidos every couple days.  Oddly, and unusual for me, I only crave fresh foods… salads, fruits, vegetables.  It’s wonderful!!  A couple weeks ago, Dave, Phoenix and I went to Edmonton for the weekend and ... this is incredible... I stayed awake the whole trip there and back!! I've never been able to do that.

Also, my mind is so clear.  I almost thought I was ADD for a while as I just couldn’t concentrate.  I even went to the doctor about it.  But now since I’ve been on Thrive, I've started my creative writing again, started outdoor photography, and go walking and hiking on a regular basis.  It’s like the colors have exploded and my life is brighter. 


Thrive has given me my life back.  It has changed my life!!!  I am happy again!!!
Today - I think I need new jeans!
