ABOUT ALEXANDRA
Welcome to my website. If this is your first time here, I'd like to share a little about me, so here it goes!
I was born and raised in Montreal, by my grandparents. On my first day of school, I was terrified! I did not speak English; only Ukrainian, Russian and Polish! I hung on to my grandmother and didn't want to let her go! In those days, we were not as grown up as children are today.
Here I am with my first car…a Cadillac! I loved this car so much, I used to sleep in it! LOL! My grandparents would have to coax me to come into the house!
I studied hard and my goal was to become an executive secretary. I achieved this and probably would still be there if the company hadn't moved to Toronto. I didn't want to transfer so I remained in Montreal.
By fluke, I was introduced to sales. I loved it! I climbed the ladder and worked very hard. Most days I was on the road from very early in the morning and once I came home, spent hours updating my notes and preparing samples for the next day. I reached a 6 figure income and I earned every penny!
Situations changed and so did my goals. I wanted more 'me time' and no longer enjoyed being on the road. I heard about online marketing and without asking for advice, invested everything I had into a venture. Well, within a few months, I lost everything. I could not sell or promote this 'opportunity' to others and feel good about what I was doing, so I left! Chalked it up as experience! A lesson learned…an expensive lesson.
I did, however, like the freedom that working from home brought so I decided to do my homework and look for something that I believed in and how I could help others. At that time, I was in pretty good shape but I kept on yo-yo dieting. I'd gain 10 pounds, lose it and then gain them back plus even more. I tried so many 'miracle diets' but all I lost was time and money!
I was determined to find a way to lose weight, keep it off…a healthy way…without dieting or counting calories! When I found products that worked, I'd share with friends. They were so happy! I did all the leg work! LOL! AND so, this is how I decided to also share my experience and products online!
I am healthy and fit. I eat well, exercise and feel so much better. Even though my weight is under control, there was one thing that was not…STRESS!! I let things get to me and in February 2012 I had a stroke…a small one! It scared the heck out of me!! As I am writing this, I've gone for tests and still have more scheduled. It was a wake up call!
I am now learning how to handle stress, take my BP every day and am grateful that I am still here. I've learned there is nothing that is worth getting stressed about. Stress can kill! Now I take more 'me time!' When I feel overwhelmed, I breathe, meditate and take long walks with my 2 little dogs. Life is good! It's even better if one is healthy!
