Highlights from our ALMI meeting today:
1. Monica Denise Hampton was our amazing speaker today. She introduced us to her weight loss journey, having kept off over 100 lbs for more than three years. Monica is now a health coach and has opened her own business called Weight XChange. She works one-on-one with her clients to personalize a plan that is right for you. Her rates are extremely reasonable and she gave us some tips on reading labels, and making better choices to live a healthier lifestyle. She was FABULOUS and I can't wait to get started with her.
2. We discussed trying to formulate a plan to adopt a family from Puerto Rico. Since current nonprofits are not completely reliable in getting aid where it is needed, we opted to table this until more information can be gathered. We will touch base on this topic at our next meeting in November.
3. Sheena Ector suggested adopting a child from a third-world country through an organization she is familiar with. Sheena will comment in the comment section to elaborate on her relationship with this organization and how we might be of aid at a later date.
4. Sheena also suggested that we may want to live stream our ALMI speakers so that our ALMI sisters in other states can still participate in the meetings. Also, for those that are sick or shut-in, they can still partake of the meeting. We will try this in November to see how it goes.
5. Sheena will host our December holiday gathering at her niece's Event Center in Mount Washington. Further details to come pertaining to that. We thought we would have a potluck for the holiday celebration.
A special thank you to our new ALMI sisters, Tiffany Statements and Tanya C. Wilson. ❤❤❤
