I love to tell good news & am so glad you stopped by. Go ahead & grab a coffee, decaf of course...

Looking to Feel Better, Look Better, Live Better?
Ha! Yes, that's me. A couple of years ago I took a trip out to Texas to see my favorite cousin, Bob. Bob loves his Harleys. So on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, we took a ride out to see the sights. Now, rest assured I was not on my own bike. This was purely a photo shot opportunity here. Bob drove and I enjoyed it immensely. I'd imagined I'd be scared to death and was quite pleasantly surprised to realize it was a delightfully fun experience. Zoom, zoom...
So what in the world does that photo and paragraph have to do with Trevo Time? Here's the reality. I hear from people every week who want to feel better, look better and live better. Frankly, I imagine most people would like those three things. And as a Life & Health Coach with Trevo, I would be so honored to help friends & family in their search for these things.
Trevo offers amazing nutritional support in an easy, good-tasting liquid. The cost is about $1 a serving, which seems pretty reasonable to me. Our product includes 174 nutraceuticals which is a long word for "all the good stuff your body needs." (My paraphrase.) It helps bring your body into balance to eliminate food cravings, support all your organs (including your brain) assists with Anti-Aging and so much more. For a buck a serving.
But here's the kicker. People who claim to want "New" as in New Health, New Weight, New Income, etc., often put the brakes on and simply stop. It didn't work in a month. Life didn't change in two months. It's really quite sad. Our product is a Lifestyle product. With a wee bit of time, taking it every day and sticking with it, so many things may improve.
Our society is a microwave society now. A minute is far too long to wait for a cup of tea. Realizing the magnitude of impatience in our world makes me cheer all the harder for these two friends.
Do you remember reading about Danell?
Her story started in October of 2012. She stuck with it. Swimming, walking, eating more healthy food & taking Trevo. Wow ~ so fabulous. Along with losing 120 lbs, she's lost many, many prescriptions. Woot!
And there's Mr. Jaye Gerding:
Jaye's down 130 or so lbs now. But it didn't happen in one month. It's taken time. Jaye began eating more healthy foods, walking, working on his health and was determined to take his Trevo three times a day. Jaye is also happy to have stopped taking many medications he needed prior to starting on Trevo.
These are just two stories. Trevo may be the answer you are looking for. I would love to help you start on your Trevo journey. Visit my site today or leave a comment & I'll contact you with more information on our product or our business. Maybe it's time to focus on doing something new. It might surprise you just how great you'll feel ~ just like I did on that Harley a couple of years ago in Texas. New can be awesome!

No More Mood Swings!
A few months ago, I shared with you about my dear friend & Trevo customer here. She was so happy to see some new hair growing and we both did a wee happy dance when I heard about it. Last Friday we were once again able to spend some time chatting about life, fun, hope and her hair. Women certainly do spend a lot of time talking about their hair...
And she started telling me another story ~
"After several months on Trevo, I'm so delighted to see the hair is growing in much better & each month is looks fuller. But I've recently realized that during my monthly cycle, I haven't even had so much as a mood swing! I used to struggle horribly with extreme anger. I thought back through the past two months and was so grateful."
We talked for a bit longer, and I reminded her that this sort of thing happens to our Trevo family. Our product works constantly & steadily. Whether you're looking for Anti-Aging benefits, internal cleansing, allergy relief or so much more, give Trevo some time, and you may be seeing new answers when you're least expecting them. Trevo begins to work at a cellular level within 13 minutes, but each part of your body renews at a different pace. Your nails, hair, skin, teeth, brain & bones may all benefit from our 174 nutraceuticals. But each part of your body works on its own schedule. What a wonderful report from my dear friend. She's one more to add to the list who can say, "I feel great! Thanks Trevo!"
If you'd like to start on our product and see the benefits first hand, please visit my website here. Or leave your name in a comment & I'll be happy to get right back to you. The cost is what you'd spend for a Tall at Starbuck's. You really are worth trying something to make every day, every week, better ~ aren't you? .

Trevo is my Full-Time Job.
Both Jaye Gerding (the handsome man in the middle) and my great coach Trina Mullins (the lovely lady on the right) and I spent a few days there working pretty hard. It was a good success. We even shared a dessert when it was all over.
Working hard, laughing together, enjoying the good things a business can provide. Trevo is a company that encourages fun, along with great health. We also want to be known as a charitable company. Giving back to the community, supporting causes we find have merit and need our help.
Sometimes we come across some interesting requests as Life & Health Coaches with our company.
Requests for free samples. Lots of them ~ to see if it works.
Requests for free bottles (a month's supply).
Requests for sponsoring people into the business.
Complaints about paying for shipping.
I wonder at times, if the people who ask for these things ever go into Target and say, "Can I take home a bag of Iams to see if my puppy likes it?" Or do they go to Outback for dinner and let the server know they weren't sure if this meal really helped them? Maybe so. We all do get samples in the mail. I know. And giving people do like to give. But seriously.
And then there's the few people who aren't interested in having anything to do with a Direct Sales organization. Now, once again, I wonder if anyone goes into Macy's and says, "I like that shirt, but I don't want to buy from you because you have to pay rent, advertising costs & employees' salaries. I would rather buy from someone who makes clothes in their garage and will sell them to me from their driveway."
Perhaps its all just me today. It's been cloudy out and I don't do cloudy well. But to my friends who sell Mary Kay, Avon, Pampered Chef, Tupperware & Zeal, "Here's to ya! I hope we all make it to the top and I want you to know I get that it's a real job for you, too."
Trevo offers a fantastic nutritional supplement in a great-tasting liquid formula. It could change your life with better health. If you'd like to order, please visit www.SoCal.trevobuilder.com today. I'll see if the USPS will ship it for free ~ but no guarantees on that.

Tour de Cure
That's what happens to people we know and love every day. All of a sudden, their world becomes one of testing, resting and injecting. Yes, the tests are better now and becoming less painful, but still. Can you imagine spending a portion of each day making sure your insulin level was ok so you wouldn't have a major medical issue? Seriously. Often this is needed several times a day. Every day.
From the ADA website, here are some of the complications of diabetes:
Serious Increased risk of heart disease and stroke
Leading cause of kidney failure
Nervous system disease & non-traumatic lower-limb amputations
So why is this possible downer of a post here on Trevo Time today? Well, here's the good news ~ We're sponsoring a team of riders in the Tour de Cure in just a couple of weeks to help STOP Diabetes! Yes!
The ride is May 17th in Del Mar, CA. If you would like to join our team as a rider, come on! If you can pray for our team (four of them are committed to riding 100 miles) that would be fabulous! And yes, we want some of your money! There. I said it. We want whatever is in your wallet. Right now. Go get it. (I'm working on being bolder.) $5, $10, $15, $26, $110, it's all good.
Here is a link to our team page:
Trevo Corporate Team
You can sign up to ride with us, donate to one of our dedicated riders or send a message to our team. Please join us as we support this great cause & organization.
You never know when you'll be the one sitting in the doctor's office hearing that news. Let's do everything we can to STOP diabetes before that can happen.
Thank you.

Our Superstar
You've probably seen her photo. That is, if you've seen anything much at all that I've posted about Trevo in the past two years. Please say, "Hello" to my dear best friend, Laurie.
![]() |
Ah, yes... We've been best friends since 1981. Back in the days when no one had a cell phone. Most of our friends didn't have a car either. We were extremely concerned with looking tan, where we would sit in the cafeteria & occasionally we thought about studying. Life was pretty great.
Life is still pretty awesome and I love using photos of this amazing Life & Health Coach, because every picture I see of her shows how much she loves life. Laurie is a mom of four great young adults; married to an incredible man with so many talents, it's just not possible to list them here. And her family means everything to her. She's mostly Greek ~ married to an Italian. Yes. They like garlic and pasta!
A few years ago, Laurie completed her courses to become a certified Esthetician. I hope I spelled that correctly. It's someone who can give facials, knows all about hair & skin care, and even aromatherapy. And now we're so blessed to have Laurie on our team as a Trevo Life & Health Coach. Laurie loves the way Trevo helps you look your best from the inside out. Her skin looks fantastic, her nails are strong but there are so many more ways that Laurie has been helped by Trevo.
In the past few years, she was feeling a bit poorly and started getting some specialized tests done on a regular basis. It's been just about a year since Laurie started on Trevo, by the way. Last month she went in for her scheduled test. The nurse was quite interested in her results and asked her what she was doing. "Taking Trevo!" Some of the levels they were testing in her were now completely normal and that had improved the most was her calcium!!! Woo Hoo! It gets a bit humorous now ~ the nurse ended up getting Trevo from this great Life & Health Coach. Love it!
If you're in the Nashville area & would like to find out more about Trevo from Laurie, please let us know. She'll be happy to help you. And don't you agree, you deserve to feel this great everyday, too? Find out more at www.SoCal.trevobuilder.com today. I'll let Laurie know you stopped by.

Our Danell from Chula Vista
Please say hello to my good friends, Darryl & Danell ~ friends of mine since 2009. Darryl is one of those guys with a Voice. Yeah, that kind. Darryl came in to audition for me back in my other life as a Creative Arts Pastor and I think I put him on stage somehow, but it was ~ Goodness, WOW! Listen to that Voice! So after a bit of convincing, Darryl agreed to do some voice-overs for our upcoming Christmas production. He was stellar.
So through meeting Darryl, I met Danell. Amazing how that happens... Someone wonderful helps you meet someone else wonderful and life can be this big chunky chain of awesomeness. O. I digress.
Getting back to meeting Danell. They were happy newlyweds & Danell offered her assistance with some costuming & decorating for our church the next few years. Most memorable costuming ~ for a horse. Yes. It was a Christmas production and she created an incredible ensemble for the horse including flowers & ribbons. Most memorable decorating ~ she did the entire Sanctuary AND we spent the next few months up in the rafters working together as she purged through our massive assortment of outdated lovelies and reorganized the entire room of Christmas decorations. Some people never cease to amaze you with their gifts! No one really knew the amount of time we spent up there, but that's ok. God does. O. I digress, again.
Back in 2011, I'd found out by surprise that Danell is a cousin of a dear friend of mine. Here's a pic from church that day:
Michelle (on the left) and I had sung together often when we both attended a different church in town. But she'd moved far away, and I never imagined these two beautiful women were related!
Moving forward... After I'd been with Trevo for a few months, I invited Danell to come try it. I actually invited a lot of people, but Danell was the only one to come over. O. once again...
Danell shared she had a few prescriptions she'd like to stop taking, and wondered if Trevo would help. I knew they might, but we really steer clear of making promises. Better to under promise & over deliver right? She had some problems with taking other supplements - mostly the nasty taste made her, well... Trevo tastes fabulous ~ so we were looking good!
Danell made the decision in October of 2012 to start changing her life. She agreed to stay in close touch with her doctor and she wanted to take Trevo every day & begin a more active lifestyle. She started walking, swimming, watching her diet and stuck with the great-tasting Trevo. At $1 a serving, that's pretty do-able. Slowly, ever so slowly... the doctor began taking her off some of her prescriptions!
My husband snapped this photo of us the next time Danell came over to our house ~ in May of '13.
Are you starting to see anything? This photo wasn't planned ~ we didn't even touch up our lip gloss.
I'd heard from Darryl a few weeks ago that Danell had taken off over 100lbs. Seriously? Seriously?
She'd sent me a picture recently, but I finally got to see her & hug her tiny little neck on Saturday morning. Is this a great smile?
Yes!!! It's the same person! She admitted she's lost somewhere between 120 - 130 lbs & is ready to take on the world. She'd like to get a motorcycle, but Darryl's not so sure about that. Full of courage & thankfulness, life is looking brighter. All those prescriptions but one are gone, and with God's help, that one will be gone soon. When her doctor gives the ok, we'll have a little happy dance. O. I almost digressed again.
If you'd like to contact Darryl or Danell regarding Trevo, you may reach them at their Trevo site here. and they will be happy to help you start your Trevo journey. You're worth it!

Experience the Power of Wellness
Is today one of 'those' days for you? The coffee pot isn't large enough and the blanket seems to be screaming your name? Or softly whispering, "I miss you. Please come snuggle a bit more. We can put on our copy of Sleeping Beauty and call it a day..."
I know what that's like. You're not sure whether to amp up your metabolism with a large Toblerone bar, or maybe finish off that 2 liter bottle of Dr. Pepper, or just hang it up and find a nice spot in the sun to close out the day snoozing.
Well, my friend, let me share something with you. When I started on Trevo two years ago, I was in exactly that same spot. But now...
This is a wee bit more like the way I feel. The energy Trevo gives is from an all-natural product with 174 nutraceuticals. What? What are nutraceuticals? Our ingredients include vegetables, sea vegetables, minerals, vitamins, amino acids, essential fatty acids, powerful antioxidants and much more.
Coming from every corner of the globe, Trevo supports:
- Vibrant Good Health
- Enhanced Mental Focus
- Increased Energy
& so much more...
Just last Saturday I found myself filling three large recycle bins with greenery from our garden. This happens a lot. And imagine ~ just a few years ago, I'd have been cuddled up singing along to "Hi Ho, Hi Ho..." watching everyone else in the family assist.
If you'd like to find out more & get started with a new energetic lifestyle, please visit my Trevo site here. Or leave a comment & I'll get right back to you with info. The value of Trevo is massive & you'll spend more on those chips with lunch than a day's serving. Are you worth it?

My Hair ~ O My Hair
There ya go ~ You needed that laugh! It's a gloomy day here today, and sometimes we need to sit back and chuckle.
Our hair is such a central part of our identity. I know it's the one thing I'll spend money on if I don't really have extra money to spend. Are you that way? Well, now that the focus of this blog is inspiring stories of hope usually related to our Trevo customers; this is a good one!
Last summer I had a dear friend come and stay with us for a few days. She basically was using our guest room as a hostel while she visited with family & friends she misses dearly after moving far, far away. We had a wonderful time together and of course, if someone stays here, they have full Trevo privileges as our guest.
My friend commented that she seemed to have a bit more energy during her stay & had been able to resist some sweets at the beach party she'd attended. Great! But it wasn't until January or so that she called me to order her first bottle of Trevo ~ just for herself. I think she's beautiful, but she was concerned about her hair. Can you relate?
"It's so thin & I'm losing my hair!" she said. O dear. This isn't one of our strongest bullet points in our Trevo literature. We talk about Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Energy, Mental Clarity and so on, but I wasn't sure "Hair" was on our list.
Can you imagine how happy I was to receive this message via email two weeks, yes, two weeks after my buddy started on Trevo??
thought it might interest you...
After only two weeks of using Trevo, this brand new hair
(not my old bangs) grew in and grew this fast! And in a place where I was
actually losing my hair a lot, before I started Trevo...
Off to a great start!!!

Trevo For Me
Trevo - The Power of Wellness
For those of you that know me, really know me, you know I love to write. I try to see life just a bit differently & find the humor each day can bring. So here I am. I've decided to get back to this blog and the focus will be a bit new than previously on Grace Today. I'm no longer working in a church. Not a Children's Pastor. Not a Creative Arts Pastor. Not a Worship Team Leader. Not a Cellist. Not a Violinist. So those stories will be few & far between. Oh, so many whole notes...
I've always loved people, and this blog will now be focused on how the people I meet and love have seen amazing things happen in their lives due to starting on Trevo. I'm passionate about our product as I sincerely believe it helped save my life a couple of years ago. I'd lost a lot of weight due to all sorts of internal & external issues. Many people have lost weight on our Trevo. I, however, found it helped me forget all sorts of things I was craving and began to find new balance in my world. I'm still down several sizes from the old days, but I'm not garishly thin like I was two years ago. I'm now in Smalls, instead of Large Girls, but way down from XL from the mid-2000's. So all in all, that's great.
I do try to keep my posts short, and this is the first of many to follow. If you're not up for hearing stories of people finding new in their world, (the new can come in many different forms) then we can part ways now with no hard feelings. I don't want anyone to feel pressured to follow this blog if they're expecting to read about disastrously humorous events during Easter rehearsals or such ~ but I do hope you'll find the good news here inspiring.
If you're really curious about what Trevo is ~ visit my site here or message me to get started today. I can't wait to welcome Spring tomorrow morning and hope the birds & sunshine will be with you wherever your day takes you. Things are lookin' up!

Redeeming Love
I have a confession to make. Right here, right now.
I consider myself to be a reader. I read a lot of books. But here it is...I've never read anything by Francine Rivers before. Yes, it's true. After reading "Redeeming Love" I'm pretty well kicking myself for not having the pleasure of enjoying her work for the past twenty years or so.
This novel captured me within two pages. Carrying it with me on a plane trip, several people commented to me, "That's a good one. You'll love it!" And they were each absolutely correct. Taking the story from the book of Hosea and placing it in the Gold Rush era sounded a bit cheesy. But it worked beautifully!
If you've ever felt unworthy, wondered why God permitted your birth, if there's an ounce of redemption possible for you ~ this book should be in your reading basket. The only drawback or possible negative thought I had was that the closure happened too quickly. The story ended. I wanted to keep reading about Sarah and Michael. I wanted to follow the other characters through to their new lives, as well. Perhaps there's a sequel. I certainly hope so.
You can check out Chapter One here: Read Chapter One
"I received this book for free from Blogging for Books for this
review." I give it a two thumbs up!
