My rememberance of 9/11

You could say I had the best seat in the house as I watched the events of the day. I awoke that morning with one major task in mind. I had an appointment to get my tires changed. A big fear for Ford Explorer drivers was the defective tires that were being recalled to avoid horrible accidents. I didn't expect the events of the day would take my thoughts into further issues of fear.

I went to work and had to leave mid morning to go get my tires replaced. As I was leaving the office I heard people mention a plane hit one of the towers in New York. The TV was on and I briefly glimpsed at the happening. Nothing yet had been said about the situation other than it happened.

I got to the tire place and was told it would take about an hour for the exchange. I sat in the waiting room and turned on the TV. I found myself sitting right in front of it as discussion on the news stated that the plane hitting the tower could be terrorism. Then, the surprise of another plane hitting the twin tower. I couldn't believe my eyes as this all happened and the horror of what was happening to the people in the area. As the towers burned and rescue workers headed in, I saw so many others running out and away. The news spoke of how strong the towers were and that they would hold up to the crashes. But then there were people jumping from higher floors to get out. JUMPING...what in the world were they thinking? It finally hit me that they probably ran down the steps of the building as far as they could and found no other way out and chose to jump thinking the could still be saved.

My tire exchange took longer than an hour. I wasn't upset because I sat and watched the news the whole time. I was in shock at what I saw and fearful of what was happening. As the towers each fell my stomach went into knots. I couldn't put into persepective of all that was happening and how real this event truly was.

So often these days I am attracted to the clock at the time of 9:11. It seems to jump out at me and I take a moment to reflect and pray about the events that day, those involved who lost loved ones, or played a major role in the aftermath. I'm still saddened by what my eyes saw, the words of the news people and the actions of the heroes of that day.

Shaklee Scour Off Heavy Duty Paste

MY FAVORITE CLEANING PRODUCT EVER!!!! Let me share this cleaner with you. It's wonderful to clean everything. I first used it on my stove top. Yes, my stove gets pretty grimey while cooking with my habit of allowing pots to boil over. My husband says I know no other way of cooking! I've paid high prices for porcelain stove top cleaners and found that they don't last long for a lot of money. Shaklee's Scour Off works great with a minimal amount. Once I cleaned my stove top with this I wondered what I could clean with it next....

I moved on to my bathtub. The soap scum and hard water stains all in one were removed with the same product. I didn't have to use two different cleaners to make my tub nice and shiney again. It worked great!!!

Scour Off is a paste so it doesn't form cloud dusts or spray splashes. It cleans tough grime and doesn't burn your nose or eyes when using. Made of natural mineral abrasives and biodegradeable cleaning agents. It does not contain chlorine, bleach or dye.

Shaklee Products Introduction

I have been using Shaklee products for awhile now. I have my favorites and know you will find your favorite item too. Whether it be nutritional, beauty, or green clean products, I hope you will give them a try.

Shaklee nutritional supplements enhance your health. I rely on daily vitamins and believe they do make a difference in my daily routine. I like using the green cleaning products. The non-toxic agents keep us from inhaling and touching chemicals that can harm us. And, the beauty and skin care items are also toxin free. How can you turn down a company that wants to offer products that help take care of you rather than offering something that just makes them money and doesn't benefit you in any way.

I'll regularly update this blog and let you know about products. I'd love to introduce you to Shaklee and provide special offers. Go to www.Shaklee.com to view the products. If you would like to place an order for any item please email to ginjenkins@live.com. I place orders twice monthly and provide free shipping or personal deliveries for local orders.
