WORKING WITH KATHLEEN
I feel very strongly about offering you a way to work with me directly. I have set up a whole range of options for you to do that going from private coaching to being involved in small groups. The link will show you all the choices. Please note that coaching apprentice is open to people starting or restarting. Coaching skilled is for people who are settled with their steps and want to look at other issues more in depth. Signature coaching is for those who want an individualized program support.

"I am taking you through a process that will heal your addiction, not break it. "
Sunday, I
had the house to myself because the daughters went to the beach. When Cathy (the older one) came by to pick up Margie, she found us in the middle of a hilarious discussion. Margie was doing her comic routine and mimicking again.
This time she was mimicking what happens when her friends come over after school and look in the fridge for something to eat. Inside are either whole-foods
ingredients like kale and unflavored yogurt, or strange-looking leftovers (my spinach-and-pumpkin quiche). She says they say, "oh I'm not that hungry" and then close the door. So then they roam to the pantry and what is there are things like canned salmon, turmeric, and two-year-old coconut milk from some experiment I planned. So the friend gets this sad look on her face and leaves the kitchen.
So then Cathy comes in and said she dropped by the other day to raid the fridge and hmm, that pumpkin pie looks good - but why does it have green in it!!! eyew!!
They laughed their heads off. But then we talked about how different it is to do homemade whole foods as opposed to having convenience food around all the time.
And then we did some problem-solving so Margie could feel like a better hostess. We came up with nuts, fruit, HFS chips and salsa, good PB&J, good sandwiches. Margie asked how she could recognize "healthy" alternatives of things to have so we talked just a little about labels. This is a big deal because she hates with a passion when I read labels too much while shopping.
Too
funny.

George's® Restore
Come visit our STORE. Call 505-345-3737 if you have questions. David, the store manager is always happy to help. He is also my oldest son :)
$44.99, $39.99 (subscription)
George's® Restore is a proprietary formula based on whey protein isolates to create a taste, texture and flavor that is very
pleasant. We have maintained the use of isolates rather than concentrates, which ensures that the product has a highly bio-available amino acid profile. This whey protein isolate is made in such a way that the amino acids get into your system really quickly. This is why so many people refer to George's® Restore as 'soft' and healing. There are no added sweeteners, chemicals or hidden flavoring. It also tastes fabulous.

I think this is one of our most fun recipes. It is totally program friendly and
totally delicious. I know, I know you don't believe me, but I am not kidding!

I have changed the
rules about Radiant Living and Your Last Diet Chats. If you are a member of either program, you may attend the chats for both Living and YLD. If you would like to attend 2 chats a week, you are more than welcome to do so. We are now using our new chat room. I have posted the logistics of getting into the room on the Living List and Steph posted them at YLD. Please go over and practice before chat. Read the room instructions and the guides for chatting. Begin at the landing page. But remember you will need the password to access the landing page.

Do I have to be on step 7 to join YLD?
No. In fact, it is great to come join right at the beginning. YLD gives you a whole level of support you can't find anywhere else in the community.
I don't need to lose weight. Is there any point in joining?
Absolutely. The chats alone are worth the price of joining. It is where you can actively participate in
shaping the vision of the community, learn about the latest trends, and just have a terrific time with other members from around the world.
If you are not a YLD member, come and join us. If you are a current member and want to join us in the new chat room, come to the landing page. I will post the page chat words on the YLD list.

The Values of Radiant Recovery®
Kathleen DesMaisons, Ph.D.
I suspect that many of you may not think about what is behind our community. Who are we? What are we about? This is way more than responding to a collection of books. Radiant Recovery® is a community, grown by a group of volunteer mentors under my leadership. We meet every week. We talk, we sort things out, we work to continue to foster and grow the vision of a highly functional, creative healing place. Some of us have been working
together for many years. It only gets better and better.
Here are the values we operate with:
1) Commitment to the vision. We believe that the Radiant Recovery® program offers a life changing solution for the problem of sugar sensitivity and are willing to change our food, change our lives and
share the vision with others.
2) Simplicity. We will provide solutions to sugar sensitivity that are easy to understand and implement.
3) Respect. We will recognize the individuality and unique differences of each person doing the program by reinforcing the unique, individually
tailored aspect of the food plans.
4) Listening. We will acknowledge that the most powerful definition of our success comes from those using the services and products we offer.
5) Integrity. We deliver the promises we make. We say what we mean and we mean what we say.
6) Compassion. We encourage self-awareness and empowerment in our community members by providing information in a non-judgmental way and remembering our own journeys.
7) Empowerment. Rather than telling what to do, we will provide tools that enable members to find the way out of chaos, feeling stuck
and overwhelmed into a sense of clarity, focus and direction. We will work to teach rather than tell.
8) Modeling. Our leadership will commit to living our values, working the program and being fully accountable for the quality of their own recovery. We will walk our talk.
9) Responsibility. We will take responsibility for how we do business. We commit to being culturally and linguistically sensitive to the range of interests, concerns and backgrounds of our members.
One year, I went to a trade show put on by the Northern California Independent Booksellers Association. Five of our mentor team attended. They came to help, paid their own expenses, wore their Radiant Recovery® shirts and went around and talked to vendors, bookstore owners and
buyers. I kept running into people who said *Oh, yes, one of your people was here*. No one could believe that this *staff* was there voluntarily because they care about the books and the message. The model we are creating is sort of outside the box.
At any rate, I am inviting you to participate and share in the development of this vision. If you have ideas and comments or thoughts or critique, email me. I will take your feedback, put it up on the web and we can all talk about it. get how this works, we can start making choices for healing.
