Visit us at www.reachabledreams.com We are Walt and Kathy VanderHeijden and ours is a very typical “cycle-of-life” story. There may be a link for you.

As young parents of 3 boys, all 15 months apart, and a daughter arriving 6 years later, we were super jugglers of time, money, children, and careers. Drawn to the teaching profession by its potential to make a positive difference in the lives of children, we had, in a few short years, moved from our home in central Pennsylvania to teaching in western PA, to starting a private academy in Puerto Ric

o, to Marymount College in Boca Raton, Florida. By the mid-1970’s Walt was a young college dean and Kathy was a stay-at-home mother. A great appreciation for music, children, nutrition, and the environment brought many interesting people and experiences into Kathy’s life. Having taught elementary school and piano in those early years, a passion for nutrition and a healthier planet became driving forces for her that really grew into extensions of those first teaching experiences. Becoming the parent of four sculpted those interests and passions to the point of looking for an avenue to be able to stay at home to raise the children, while contributing to the family income and making the world a better place. She found a way to do this that allowed her to blend all of those interests and commitments. Kathy was able to be there in whatever capacity she was needed for our family while staying connected to the rest of the world through the business. Working the hours around her family required a bit of organization, but it was well worth the effort. The results have been a 37+ year blessing that we named Reachable Dreams. What that meant for us: Having a steady supplemental and a safety net income during a few of Walt’s job and career crises; qualifying for brand new cars and all-expense paid trips as part of the compensation plan (Can you imagine picking up a new car and just signing the papers with no money needed? What a feeling!); and having both a base and a springboard from which Walt could retire early and from which they have launched the next stage of living this life and sharing it with others. Travel has been a long-time love for both of them and now they plan their trips around work and an ever-growing family with a refreshing air of appreciation. Being part of a group of mini-office businesses who have the same supply partner, they utilize a system that helps to guide, teach, and train others to build the same remarkable benefits. You are invited to take a look at what is working for them. Wherever you are in your life experience, you most likely will find something of interest!

Thank you, Joanne Nistico, for sharing the following: When you think visionary, Steve Jobs was possibly the most visionary businessperson of our time. After co-founding Apple Computer in 1976, Jobs shepherded some of today's most innovative products--the iMac, iPod, iPhone, and others--from idea to production.

Consider these powerful words that can lead you to success.

1. "I'm convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance."

2. "My job is not to be easy on people. My job is to make them better."

3. "Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow know what you truly want to become."

4. "Let's go invent tomorrow rather than worrying about what happened yesterday."

5. "If today were the last day of your life, would you want to do what you are about to do today?"

6. "Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it."

7. "Life is about creating and living experiences that are worth sharing."

8. "We don't get a chance to do that many things, and every one should be really excellent. Because this is our life. Life is brief, and then you die, you know? And we've all chosen to do this with our lives. So it better be damn good. It better be worth it."

9. "Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected."

10. "You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something--your gut, destiny, life and karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life."

Yes, Shaklee has a bonus car program. However, what happens if you live in the city and don't own (or want to own!) a car? Well, this company takes care of that. Here's a quote from someone who knows: "We qualified for a car bonus (which we use for a Metro Card since we live in NYC and don't own a car. A great perk for us city people!)" - Vanessa Muskopf

"Life is a gift, learning is the challenge, evolving is the purpose."

A few years ago, during Indian summer here in California, wildfires raged through the hills behind our home, burning to the ground everything in their path

"Direct your thoughts. Regardless of what may be said about you, or what actions someone may take against you, you cannot be harmed unless you allow their words or actions to arouse the emotion of fear within you." – Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee

"I think often in life we wait for the perfect opportunity, and think we can’t do something because conditions are not quite right. But in reality we might be able to do just fine in the given conditions if we just learn to accept them and focus on our purpose." - John Munro (Long White Cloud Qigong)
