New Man or Woman of the Day Spotlight: Donyale Reavis for Integrity

Today, I’m introducing a new feature on the Sugar Shock Blog — Man or Woman of the Day. Each day (excluding most weekends), I’ll feature a spectacular person, who stands out for some extraordinary quality.
I was inspired to begin this feature because of something so incredibly nice that a woman I didn’t know did for me today.
Earlier today, I was impressed and so awed by the integrity and kindness of a woman, Donyale Reavis, who I met while trying to buy a ticket to the 2010 BlogHer conference in New York City. (Tickets were not available at the door.)
Donyale reavis Donyale — an intellectual property attorney, charity founder and independent film producer with Coyopa Productions, who also runs Success Happens.org and Pure Imagination.org — quickly revealed that she was a spectacular human being.
When I met her this morning in front of the BlogHer registration area, Donyale offered to sell me her ticket to tomorrow’s BlogHer because she had to fly to Atlanta tonight and give a presentation tomorrow.
Later, I learned that someone else had offered Donyale more money for the ticket than the amount she and I had agreed upon.
But Donyale turned down the higher offer and followed through on her agreement with me. She wouldn’t even take more money from me when I offered!
Wow is about all I can say! I was so touched.
Anyhow, Donyale demonstrated such amazing integrity, she is Today’s Woman of the Day.
Thank you so very much, Donyale!

Name My Next Book: Sugar Shock’s Successor & Get Gifts

Last call.
Will you help me name my new book? I’d be thrilled and grateful if you would contribute some ideas — you’ll even get gifts for being so nice.
So what’s this about? Well, as I shared here previously, I’m now writing and researching my my next book, the follow-up book to my first book Sugar Shock.
This new book will provide a step-by-step, six-week program to help you escape from sugar shock and to get a sweeter life.
Sugar Shock’s successor — which will be published by Hay House, the international leader in self-help and transformational publishing — is designed to help you if you’re a sugar addict of any weight (overweight, obese or even slim).

Let’s face it, kicking sugar can be challenging even though you know that it will help you to lose weight, get more energy, boost your libido, prevent or reverse diabetes and live longer.
That’s why, in my follow-up book to Sugar Shock, you’ll get valuable tools and tips that will make letting go of your sugar addiction simple – and even fun. For instance:
* You’ll get many tried-and-true tactics — ones I created, starting in 1998, when I kicked sugar on doctor’s orders and ones recommended by dozens of other health experts. You’ll also benefit from my 12 years of coaching or connecting with sugar addicts around the world. (Yes, 2010 year marks a dozen years of helping people to achieve sugar liberation.)
* You’ll undertake simple, interactive adventurcises™ (my word for adventurous exercises), which will drive you to major self-discoveries and changes.
* You’ll discover several dozen ways to stomp out your sugar cravings.
* You’ll learn what sugar color code you are. (Yes, we’re all different in our relationship with sweets, and this knowledge will empower you to make the right choices for you.)
* You’ll detox gradually so that your body, mind and even soul won’t go into shock as you move away from your sugar obsessions.
* You’ll get healthy meal plans and tasty recipes from a recognized nutritionist and exercise physiologist.
* You’ll learn to Enjoy a Sweeter Life Without Refined Sweets™.
* And much more.
