After earning the new rank as Diamond and keeping it for 3 consecutive months, I also qualified for an incentive trip. This year it was in Banff, Canada.
If you never went there, that's definitely a place on the bucket list.   I didn't even know this place existed, and yet I got to go there for free and got many gifts while being there.

One of the  excursion's I chose to go was caving.  I had no clue what I was getting myself into.  I never went caving, but the experience absolutely changed my perception of caving, and also on business building.

What appears to be very innocent, turned into a challenging clime and then down the cave, 55 miters down under the mountain.   This trip have tested every emotion, every muscle, every bone, and the fear inside that sometimes paralyzes our body and our mind. 

I can't believe that this blog post was created on 09/24/2015 and it was waiting for the rank to really appear.  Nobody achieves the rank of Diamond by themselves, so as a team we worked towards that. How do you express the gratitude to the army of people that work by your side?  By teaching them how to do it themselves together with their teams, as it is possible.

You can do ANYTHING when you make the decision to do it.  This is my model, and I am sticking to it.
I never said "I can't" or "I don't know how", I just did, I figured out how, I asked, I searched, and I researched.

Even writing a blog is challenging!!! At least it was.  The technology is all new to all of us, except the kids, they are born already knowing, it seams. 

Did I figured out all by myself?  Oh no!  My talented daughter Agnes Tchoryk has. Not only she earned the rank of Young Living Platinum, she did the research, she attended and paid for many seminars, and she had the patience to guide me.   She is the one who showed me Windows, after DOS.   She crated her own blog and thanks to HER I learned.  If she did not have the desire, ambition and drive, I would be still in the dark ages.

Do I believe that ANYBODY can become the Diamond?  Absolutely, each person can achieve that and so much more.   Why not  EVERYBODY is the Diamond?  Most people will not do what it takes to be there.    It does require discipline, action, and more action.  It is no different than finishing college or any school.  That goes for everything we do.  Everyone can, not everyone will.

We first need to look at what a "success" means to different people.  The personal definition will differentiate the measurement of the success.  For some it means finishing school, for some having a family, for some owning a home mortgage free, for some ability to travel, for some having kids, for some abundance of money.

Then we can answer if most people do succeed according to their own definition.  From my own little research I found that most people are not satisfied, not happy, and not content.  That goes for their profession, their family and/or  finances.  The question really is why most people don't succeed in life or have that feeling of not succeeding?  Most people work hard, and are willing to work!  However, most people do not
1. Make the decision to succeed
2. Are not willing to get out of the comfort zone
3. Are not willing to make the sacrifices
4. Are not willing to stay for long enough to see the results of their hard work

​It takes something truly extraordinary to last for 5,000 years . . .
While Egyptians built the ancient pyramids 2,200 years before Hippocrates became the father of western medicine, Chinese physicians began using their newly developed alphabet to carefully record and advance their treasured medicinal legacy.
Throughout these ancient writings, three superior and legendary health tonics consistently emerge: ginseng, ling tzi, and wolfberries. Ginseng was too expensive and too powerful for daily use, and ling tzi was difficult to find. But wolfberries were readily available and mild enough for daily use by people of all ages for a variety of symptoms.
The most frequent references to wolfberries in early Chinese medical texts extolled wolfberries for strengthening the eyes, liver, and kidneys, as well as fortifying the "qi" (chi) or life force. The well-respected medical book, Shen Nung Ben Tsao (475-221 B.C.), noted the wolfberry's benefits ranging from replenishing vital essences to strengthening and restoring major organs. Li Shiz Hen, regarded by many as the greatest herbalist of all time, compiled the well-renowned physicians handbook (Ben Cao Gang Mu A.D. 1596). The book reports, "Taking in Chinese wolfberry regularly may regulate the flow of vital energy and strengthen the physique, which can lead to longevity." The book also cites a very compelling story.
“The Bao Shou herb store recorded a wolfberry elixir that promotes longevity. A barefooted man named Zhang passed the formula of this elixir to an elderly person at Yi Shi County, who followed the recipe and lived for over a hundred years. The elderly man could walk extremely fast as if he was flying. His gray hair turned black again. The herb is mellow and can be taken often to eliminate excessive heat in the body and will also improve vision.”
There is also another story of a woman who, during the Tang Dynasty (A.D. 618-907), lived over three hundred years and claimed her secret to longevity was the wolfberry.
More recent evidence cites the magazine Domestic and Foreign, which published a story in the 1950s about a great herbal master Li Qingyun who lived over 200 years and died in 1930. In his life account, he revealed the secret of his longevity was gained from his mentor who told him to take five grams of wolfberries every day. “From then on I became healthy and agile. I can walk a hundred li [a li equals half a kilometer] and not feel tired. I became better in strength and stamina than the average person.”

The summer is in full force and many people are on the virtue of making a decision what to use to support the skin so it does not get burned.

My complexion is very fair, so every summer I was burned. In fact my skin was pilling every year a few times over. I guess I just needed a new skin, and that was successfully accomplished. 

I never use any protection  on my skin, as when I was growing up none was available.  When it was finally available I didn't like the ingredients, so I just continued to burn.
I was not aware that natural oils can have SPF.  I didn't even know what SPF really means. It is the "Sun Protection Factor". The amount of time that it takes for the skin to burn after being exposed to the  without any product applied may be prolonged by applying sunscreens. When looking at the SPF number you simply multiply by the original number as according to the experts it takes that much longer before the skin would be burned. For example if it  takes 10 minutes for the skin to burn without any product, after applying a product with 8 SPF the burn time would be about 80 minutes (10 x 8 = 80).
​
Many seed and vegetable oils are rich in antioxidants, natural chemicals and vitamin E to support the skin exposed to ultraviolet light.  All I know is that I don't want to be burned and I want as natural products on my skin as possible, so I am trying this and see how it works.

It AMAZES me that people who sell really bad or not natural products are NOT AFRAID to make all kinds of claims.

Although, at Young Living we have the BEST OF THE BEST, even when experiencing REAL RESULTS, sometimes we are afraid to share and be a testimonial to the product that we LOVE. 

So here is MY testimonial. I either have done it myself, witnessed or helped coaching MANY people achieving those results. So if you need my help in coaching, I will do what I can to guide you.
If you don't already know, you can start looking (with confidence) for all the following people with the following needs:
✔1. A mom, or mom to be, who wants to get rid of stretch marks. 
✔2. Someone who wants to lose 20+ lbs in 3 months.
✔3. Someone who wants to grow their hair out.
✔4. Someone who wants to manage their stress.

P.P.S. this is NOT a prank, this is not April Fools Day. Today is May 16, 2016 and I am very serious.

I never paid any attention to cleansing. In fact, I used to believe that my body will take care of itself.  Little did I know, the body cannot take care of itself when the body is week, not nourished properly, and under a lot of stress.

Like most people, I searched for a product that would actually work!  In the process I found Young Living, and am still blown away by the results. Why Young Living? That's another story, on another blog. Find out here

The following is not intended as a medical advice, nor is it intended to diagnose, prescribe, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition.

I am experimenting on my own body, and not afraid to report the findings.  Although I am an active distributor of Young Living, all reports are true to the experience.  I make my decisions based on the facts from research and my experience. 

Have you herd the saying "Death Begins in the Colon?" It might be an oversimplification, however the health and wellness does begin with the intestinal cleansing and detoxification. It's not only just about drawing out old fecal matter. When taking the body's wellness into consideration, we need to look at the entire process: digestion, nutrient transfer, waste processing, metabolic functions, toxic drainage, and boosting your immune system. For this process to work it's CRITICAL to do a colon detox before a liver detox, so the toxins are not pushed back into the blood stream.

I used two different cleanses available, and with both I had a lot of success

​ComfortTone
Detoxzyme

Set 2:

ICP
​Essentialzyme

Essentialzyme™ is a bilayered, multienzyme complex caplet specially formulated to improve and balance digestive health and to stimulate overall enzyme activity to combat the modern diet. Essentialzyme contains tarragon, peppermint, anise, fennel, and clove essential oils to improve overall enzyme activity, reduce pancreatic stress, and support healthy pancreatic function.

ICP™ helps keep your colon clean with an advanced mix of fibers that scour out residues.* A healthy digestive system is important for the proper functioning of all other systems because it absorbs nutrients that are used throughout the body. ICP provides ingredients such as psyllium, oat bran, and flax and fennel seeds to form a combination of soluble and insoluble fibers. Enhanced with a special blend of essential oils, the fibers work to decrease the buildup of wastes, improve nutrient absorption, and help maintain a healthy heart.* ICP provides three grams of soluble fiber and one gram of insoluble fiber per serving.

ComforTone® (capsules) is an effective combination of herbs and essential oils that support the health of the digestive system by eliminating residues from the colon and enhancing its natural ability to function optimally.* Because it supports normal peristalsis (the wave-like contractions that move food through the intestines), ComforTone is ideal for strengthening the system that delivers nutrients to the rest of the body.* It also contains ingredients that are beneficial to liver, gall bladder, and stomach health.*

This powerful formula includes wolfberry, which is touted for its health-supporting benefits, while ongoing research continues to reveal exciting new properties on this ingredient. Enjoy NingXia Red daily to energize, fortify, and revitalize the body and support overall health and wellness, from head to toe.

• Sustain energy with the combination of select wolfberries and other superfruits. Contains powerful ingredients which are involved in many antioxidant processes and may help prevent against oxidative stress.
• Balanced ingredients make NingXia Red a whole-body nutrient infusion for health and wellness support
• Delivers citrus essential oils containing d-limonene, a powerful component in citrus oils.
• Halal and Kosher certified in 750ml bottles (Halal Certified in 60 ml sachets)

Ingredients
Melaleuca (Melaleuca alternifolia), naouli (Melaleuca quinquenervia), rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), and clove (Syzygium aromaticum).

Melrose™ provides a protective barrier against skin challenges. When diffused, Melrose can help dispel odors.

When the colon is filled with putrid fecal matter or if the liver can't clean toxins out of the blood and perform its daily functions, it does not matter how many vitamins, herbs, and antioxidants are taken.  There will be no results and you will not achieve a balance and wellness.
 
There are different types of  of water or juice fasting, however very few people have incorporated a full body, organ specific cleanse. Although general fasting definitely provides overall benefits, targeted detoxing takes advantage of certain herbs, essential oils and alternative health protocols to greatly accelerate the process – particularly in regard to specific body systems and/or organs.

The combined fast with an organ-specific detox offers the most powerful cleansing program for overall health of the body. The specific detoxes include the colon detox, heavy metal detox, gallbladder & kidney cleanse, and finally the liver & blood detox (specifically in this order). The sequence of each detox is very important.
