MonaVie

So, I had originally begun typing a rather lengthy post with the intention of recapping the last month in the life of the Campbell Clan, but when the post began to take on the image of an end-of-the-year Christmas letter, I trashed it. Suffice it to say it's been another crazy month, and I again apologize for my lack of writing. The desire is there, the time is not. Rather than a recap, allow me to just sort of tell you what's on my mind.

Work is killing me, people. Don't get me wrong - I love what I do for a living, but I despise the hours. Shift work is nothing short of hell on family life. Especially second shift, which is what I will be moving to next week. I am coming off of third shift, which is rough because of the about-face in sleeping patterns one has to overcome. Second shift leaves me with little opportunity to see my son, save for the weekends, and leaves my wife at home every evening to handle the kids and their activities by her lonesome. And because of my lack of seniority, second and third shift is all I will work for quite sometime. Whilst I love what I do, my enjoyment of the job isn't enough to overcome the not-so-great hours.

So, I'm working on getting the heck out of the job. How so, you ask? Through an amazing product called MonaVie. I discovered this product through my brother and sister-in-law, and while it took me awhile to become convinced (damn skeptics!) of it's benefits, I am head-over-heels crazy about it. MonaVie is a nutrional beverage containing nineteen of the nature's top super-fruits. The crown jewel of the juice is the Brazilian acai (prounounced ah-sigh-ee) berry.

This little berry has been around for centuries, and has been consumed by the natives to promote healing and overall good health. The western world, until recently, had not experienced the benefits of the berry because there did not exist a method of processing it before it would literally go bad. Monarch Health Sciences and MonaVie solved this problem through a flash-freezing process which retains about ninety-seven percent of the berry's nutrional value.

Thus, the birth of MonaVie. The health benefits my family has experienced since drinking this juice have been nothing short of amazing. No more aches and pains, much-improved sleeping, and prolonged energy. I can't say enough about the juice, and the fact that it's all-natural, healthy, and incredibly tasty makes it even better.

But beyond the health benefits, the company itself uses a large portion of its profits to benefit the Amazonian community. Through the M.O.R.E. Project, MonaVie is building housing, providing education, and helping to curb the orphan problem in the country of Brazil. The company is doing wonderful things with its resources, and I am proud to be a part of it.

Of course, there are the naysayers, and plenty of them. A quick Google search will reveal plenty of commentary against MonaVie, but I have found most of it to be arguable, and a lot of it just plain wrong. Regardless of the product, there are going to be those that have nothing good to say. My excitement comes from my personal experience with MonaVie, and I need nothing else.

And now the plug - if I've piqued your interest at all, leave me a comment or drop me a line at huskerkev@gmail.com, and I will be happy to discuss this with you more. I'm excited to be on the road to a healthier financial life, and in the process of leaving behind the shift work I have come to despise.

Peace.
