[Viva] people care

[shelly tognazzini]

Indeed some of the finest folk I have met at Positive Living! Member Driven,
with vision, passion and integrity.

Have been swamped adjusting to new job, lots of changes, but very
substantial growth in a short period of time. (under three weeks!) Will
catch up with everyone next week when the bulk of my initial training is
done, and the schedule is a bit more settled...have tons of news to share
and look forward to sharing with ViVA women.

Thanks for the lovely sentiment D, will check out video after I eat
something and have a bath.

Hope everyone enjoyed the first fabulous day of summer,
xo
