Below is an excerpt from a book that I’m writing, I will be releasing it this Summer 2011. It’s an Auto-Biography and the first of many books of this nature by me describing the incredible Journey that WE ALL MUST ENDURE if we are to get any type of satisfaction out of this existence, this Life here on Earth. A chronological compilation of situations and scenarios that I imagine would keep the reader right on the edge of their seats for what is sure to be a Journey into the Mind and Heart of each and every one of US, each and every one of YOU as well as a Journey deep into that which is Thor Amet Riordon. The intention is to help add some Hope to those who think that ‘these things only happen to me’ and ‘why does Life have to be SO HARD? it’s like the world is against me!’. Believe me, we have ALL felt that way at some point or another and one of my goals is to give you some reference points from my Life that I hope will make it easier for you to get through YOUR walls and YOUR obstacles. You see, it’s not that my Life has been any harder or worse or that I have had more struggles. I have just been through A LOT and I am willing to share with all those out there like me who want, no yearn for a FULL existence, my trial and tribulations so they have an idea of how many others out there are JUST LIKE YOU. All those out there like me who realize that the greatest loss in Life is the difference between Human Potential and Actual Performance. The difference between what YOU can do and what YOU ACTUALLY do. You Must Participate. ~Maximize Your Creation~ David Parker CEO/Co-Founder of Nuriche, LLC. If I can help just 1 person avoid some of the struggles and hardships that I have endured then I feel like my mission is accomplished. I love to teach and help and train and develop. It is one of the primary things in Life that Drive me. I look forward to the time in my Life when I work for FREE coaching kids skateboarding and snoboarding again. These were the Greatest ‘JOBS’ of my Life. And that is WHY I persist the way I do. And WHY I will Never EVER Quit. And after reading this book, neither should you. “If you want it bad enough you WILL find a way. If you don’t then you WILL most likely find an excuse” I read that on Facebook today but I cannot remember who said it. I cannot take credit for it but it sure does ring through to me. How about You? Will you Find A Way or Make Excuses??

This particular passage was written about 7 years ago and the reason I chose this one today is because I feel that it really exemplifies the mission that so many of us are on. I almost felt as I was reading through this today that I had to actually spend the last 15 years training and practicing and studying all these Leaders and concepts that I ALREADY KNEW. I merely needed to continually remind myself to be able to Persevere. This is why it is SO VITALLY IMPORTANT to keep notes of YOUR Life, to keep a journal and keep track of everything that happens so that you can go back and learn from whatever happened to you at that time in your Life that you dealt with that has ultimately led you here. You are here because of all the choices that you have made up until now. You are a result of every decision you have ever made, all the place and faces you have ever seen and all the jobs you’ve had. Where you are right now is exactly where you have guided yourself to. Life doesn’t happen to YOU.

So I hope you can see how important it can be to have notes to look back upon so you may remember the great stuff and learn from the bad stuff. It is these notes that I draw my inspiration from, my motivation from and it from these same notes that I am continually reminded of WHY I Persist without and recognition of failure. No longer will failure be the payment for my struggle. I look through these journals just often enough to remember WHY I am here. And that is to help YOU. I live to serve and I love to see others excited and happy. There really is nothing greater than helping someone achieve one of those ‘Ah-Ha!!’ moments in Life. It is a blessing to be able to give that to someone, to as many other Humans as I can before I leave this planet for another…..

And just for the record this was taken straight from the journal with no edits, only punctuation, spelling, and grammar.

Well I guess I should finish the last story since that’s where I am now, mentally. You know, that relationship with _____ was so dysfunctional. We had Fun. I was her long-haired-tattooed-rebellion-phase-piss-off-her-parents-boyfriend and she was my pay-my-rent-and-phonebill-take-me-to-sushi-and-steak-dinnner-every-night-on-daddy’s-dime-and-loved-to-use-sex-against-me-girlfriend. At that time in our lives it was perfect. And it’s a completely natural phase for everyone to go through at sometime in their lives. I really think that I overanalyzed it for way longer than was probably necessary but then I do believe that everything happens for a reason, exactly when and why it’s supposed to happen. (Footnote: This is a topic of this book that will be established and reiterated constantly as I firmly believe NOTHING happens by accident, BUT YOU MUST PAY ATTENTION TO THESE SO-CALLED COINCIDENCES) I think I really needed to learn from that relationship everything I did (still learning, in fact!) and equally she needed to learn a few things as well. She got to experience Life from a struggling persons’ perspective and I got to see the world through the eyes of a person who really never had to worry about anything really serious or life-threatening. You know, things like hunger and homelessness…these things that I am STILL dealing with over 5 years later. I am not saying that her issues are not real because to her they are VERY real. And I too have my own set of problems (I actually see them as obstacles to be overcome) that are also very real. I am so thankful and grateful for everything that I have, and everything I have learned. I am on an Incredible Journey and I love it more and more every minute. I finally have a mission, not just to be in Love or to be filthy rich. I now have this incredible mission to help as many other people as possible to achieve whatever it is that THEY are trying to achieve, be it better Health and Vitality or Self-Esteem and Motivation or maybe they want to learn Perseverance and Tenacity. I want to help people learn the ability to Never Give Up, Never EVER Quit no matter what the circumstances. No matter what the ‘odds of success’ are. If you KNEW you could never fail, what would YOU try to accomplish?? One common thread that almost always rings through in all my writings, no matter how bleak the content was/is the ability to see the bright side, to stay positive and focused on the task at hand-Living, NOT JUST Existing!-and that to me is truly amazing. It really is absolutely remarkable what Humans can endure. I have always seen myself as a rather negative or pessimistic-type person. I have always claimed to be a Realist-I see things how they truly are and I act accordingly. And that has proved to a good strategy so far. What can I say, nobody’s perfect. Sure as fuck not me. I am always looking to improve on what I have, and what I have I built by design. It’s mine and I own it. And I’m not looking for a trade-in on this Avatar, only an upgrade on it’s surroundings. I am driving the wheels off it. And you should too. As far as I know this is the only one I get and I am going to maximize MY creation. The greatest loss in my life will not be the difference between my potential and my performance because I WILL ACT NOW and I WILL PERSIST UNTIL I SUCCEED. I have always said that I am like a Dandelion; you can cut me down and will ALWAYS come back. And this time I’m coming back with an Army. I would like to leave you with a passage that I feel is one of the most important parts of this message that I can give to you, the reader:

Don’t’ be so hard on Your Self. Don’t be so hard on others. Not everyone is as smart as you, or as sharp. None are as educated or aware or perceptive. Almost no one has your same views or outlook on Life and future. Nobody has your same goals or perspective. You are Natures Greatest Miracle. No one has your eyes, your hair, your voice or your brain. Not one person that came before you, no one that lives today and no one that will EVER come after you, will be just like you. You are Unique. You are different. Don’t try so hard to ‘fit in’. Be Yourself. BE PROUD to be different. Promote it! Sell it!! Announce it to The World!!! Stand Out. Don’t just exist. Live Life to the Fullest, Everyday. Go out and Make Today THE Greatest Day of YOUR Life!! And someone else’s day too!!

I hope you enjoyed that and be looking for another excerpt very soon!! I have many blogs and Social Media sites so it may be here or it may drop on another one of my pages. Either way I will let you know when it’s coming and where it can be found. Until then, you know I always say MAKE it a great day!!

Wow I woke up so early today…I hardly sleep at all these days as I am just so excited about being Alive. I mean, there are so many significant changes going on in The World right now it’s truly amazing. People are learning more, teaching more of it and (I think) collectively realizing that we as a species need to make some substantial modifications  to not only our daily method of operation and how we go through Life everyday but also to the way we think and the programming that has led us All to this point in our lives.

I came across a great quote this morning that I have read or heard many, many times before and it goes something like this: ~Everything that is happening to us right now is all because of decisions we have made in the past~ Now, that used to have such a different impact on me when I would read things like that. However today I welcomed that as an absolute truth and I couldn’t have been more happy about it. I raised my arms up to the Universe and the rising Sun and I just shouted “Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!” Can you imagine the glory that is felt when one has complete and total Gratitude and Appreciation for everything in and around this World and All it has to offer?? Just amazing. I have always been grateful, thankful, appreciative. I don’t know, today seems so much different, so much better.

If I could I would implant this feeling into the Hearts and Souls of every living creature on Earth at this exact moment and the Universe would feel such an enormous blast of Love that we might just turn into a Super-Nova right here on the spot!!

Today I begin a new Life. I will greet this day with Love and I will Persist Until I Succeed. And I will Act Now, and so should you. Do not hesitate to go out and Make Today THE Greatest Day of Your Life because YOU have the Power and the control to do that. Your Focus Determines Your Reality. So focus on all the Love and the Beauty that The World has to offer, and how much of that Love you can perpetuate and pass along out to the masses. People need Inspiration, something to Feel excited about and they need it from You.

My wish today is that I just reach one person with this message and they feel the Glory and Love that I do. And if I can reach JUST ONE and they go out and do the same I will have done all I could to make The World a better place to Live.

Make It A Great Day!!

Nuriche and the Shoestring Diet Series: Part III

Ok, so I just ate the most incredible stir-fry for lunch and it was so easy to whip up. Being that this is an integral part of the premise of this series, I just want to reiterate the ease by which a person can lead a healthy nutritious and fun life without just eating oatmeal and raw carrots. Being a Foodie goes way beyond that, deep into the wonderful chasm that is your Imagination where you are the master of your Life, and of your lunch and of Your one-and-only Body that should be treated like a Shrine if it isn’t being treated as such already.

I always make a pot of brown rice about once a week or so and keep it in the fridge for such an occasion as this. And again, these are such easy and inexpensive meals you guys. Remember when I started this series about a week ago, I had just gone shopping and I spent a whopping $9 in the produce department. I have been back once to replenish the garlic, Italian parsley and green onions at a cost of about $3.50. Today’s lunch cost about $2-3 and roughly 20 minutes of my time and the best part is I have a nice 2^nd portion waiting for the afternoon snack/dinner! I will list the ingredients and then the preparation technique.

 

Garlic, Green Onion, Ginger

Brown Rice

Tofu/Chicken/Steak (your choice of protein substance)

Curry Powder (you can choose the flavor/color, of course)

Red and Green Cabbage

Green Zucchini, Yellow Squash

Cauliflower

Carrot

Red Bell Pepper

Fresh Jalapeno

Italian Parsley

Horseradish, Black Pepper, Salt (to desired taste)

 

Notice I listed the ingredients roughly in their order of appearance.

1)      Heat the biggest sauté pan you have to medium heat and add your preferred cooking oil, let it get nice and hot

2)       Lightly brown Garlic, Green Onions and Ginger

3)      After about 5 minutes, add a layer of Brown Rice and make the layer nice and even across the whole bottom of the pan (I use about 2 handfuls, approx.) DO NOT STIR.

4)      After about 3 minutes give the rice mixture a good flip or stir and reform the nice even layer; you will need to do this several times to really get a good fried rice, but over medium heat as yo don’t want to burn(unless of course you like it that way and then, by all means, burn it…LOL)

5)      As the rice is browning, I am happily dicing away ALL of those lovely veggies you see listed above and I put these on a plate or in a bowl off to the side momentarily..

6)      After 2-3 flips of this rice, I add the protein(Tofu you can eat raw so that doesn’t require cook time but things like steak and chicken of course require more time for safe and adequate preparation) I just chunk it into tiny cubes and throw it in with the rice; again reform your nice even layer

7)      I flip and brown the Rice/Tofu mixture a couple times as well and then you are ready to add the veggies and parsley

8)      Make sure you have your nice even layer of Rice, Tofu, Green Onions, Garlic, Ginger, Curry and Horseradish and pour the veggies over the top and form a nice even layer of veggies over the bed of rice

9)      Cook this for about 2 minutes, flip or stir, and then about another 2-3 minutes and you are ready to enjoy. Don’t cook to long as you don’t want to kill the enzymes and nutrients in your veggies and they taste so much better nice and crispy and crunchy and Live.

 

So as you can clearly see to become a Foodie only takes a little effort, a little more imagination and of course a little guidance from guys like myself and ALL those others out there on this mission with us, the mission and the cause to not only lead by example but to really go the extra mile to bring this information to the masses so they may also enjoy a longer healthier existence.

I hope this has been informative and please let me know if you have questions or comments about my recipes. I welcome any/all feedback, tips, comments and suggestions. Until next installment, go out there and Make Today THE Greatest Day of Your Life!!

I see, I think, I hear, I feel

yet still I wonder ‘Is this Real?’

broken bits of Knowledge found

pieced together, round and round

and round and round the bottle goes

but who you’ll kiss, well no one knows

just ride until the wagon stops

and take successes with the flops

stupid is as stupid does

wait!!….what it is?…no what it was

who really knows what it’s about

you just want in then end up out

so struggle hard and struggle long

and know on Earth you DO belong

just Live until your hearts delight

and Everything will be alright.

Nuriche and The Shoestring Diet Series: Part 2

Hi again, it’s Thor and I just wanted to follow up last weeks’ article with a bit about how to save money and time while still managing to maintain a healthy diet. I have included below a loose recipe for one of my almost daily favorites, and also a brief overview of the receipt. I think it will be educational and fascinating, so please read on…..

I love short, quick little recipe’s that I can whip up in about 20 minutes or less. Most of these I can bust in out in about 10 or less but then I have working in or around a professional kitchen for more than 15 years now and so my slicing and dicing skills may be a little more proficient than others, and furthermore I am in no way saying that I am a master for I have much to learn and also have seen people with knife and kitchen skills that make me look like a baby with a fisher price baking set…ha!! Anyway, below is a favorite of mine and also I have had requests to post this one since it also seems to be gaining in popularity amongst some of my healthier friends. I have a great new friend and business partner who actually named this one, ‘The Rainbow Tuna Salad’ and can be prepared quickly and easily so even an on-the-go mom or business executive can put this together on a lunch break or limited time scenario, that is to say with only slightly more effort than is required to heat up a hot pocket or frozen burrito or even a so-called healthy soup or juice drink that is probably worse for you than the burrito!

“So here it is, without further ado….The Rainbow Tuna Salad!! TADA!!” [thunderous applause]

So you will want to start with a pretty big salad or mixing bowl and I like to get all my materials lined up before I get started so it’s nice and streamlined. There is a technical culinary term for this and it is known as Mise en Place, it is French in origin and means to have everything in place. I also clean as I go so when I am done I look around and realize that there really is no mess to clean up at all, just a few things to put away and wipe off/down. Now keep in mind that these are recipes for 1 so you will need to adjust the amounts accordingly of course to accommodate the number of persons you are feeding.

You will need:

• I can Albacore (or whatever is your preferred type, brand, animal) tuna, chicken, salmon or any other chunked protein can be used-(just a note, I tried Tofu and it really just gets mashed by all these other crunchy veggie’s so I use Tuna)
• 1 Green Onion
• 1 Garlic bud (not whole clove)
• Fresh Jalapeno and other Chilies-this is one that is according to individual taste and can be used or not used; I use a generous amount as I like it spicy, about ¼ of a whole pepper or so
• Fresh Ginger if desired, according to individual taste but a thumbnail size piece would be good for most-I love this stuff so I use a hefty chunk!!
• Green Zucchini-I can use a good size Zucchini about 5-7 times so for this recipe a small chunk is all you need
• Yellow squash -the same is true for the yellow squash, I just chop off about a 1-2″ chunk
• ¼ cup Red Cabbage
• ¼ cup Green Cabbage
• ¼ cup Red Bell Pepper
• ¼ cup Yellow Bell Pepper
• 5-10 sprigs of Cilantro
• Horseradish-this is obviously an ingredient that is based on individual taste, of course and can be used or not or substituted; I use about 1 Tablespoon
• Spicy Brown Mustard-same with the mustard, use(or not) according to individual taste
• I like Miracle Whip because I only use a small dallup, some use mayonnaise or olive or some other type of oil to give this mixture a little catalyst
• Salt, Pepper, Tarragon, Thyme, I love to use Curry Powder in this one and any other of your preferred spices
• A Sharp knife and a cutting board

Ok, so now let’s get started. You have your mise en place. The above amounts of things are approximate as it is a bit difficult to say how much a tiny slice off the side of a head of cabbage is but I guess about a ¼ cup or so. It is really very small because the idea is have a ton of things in the mix only all of them in small quantities and diced about the same size so that you get a burst of every ingredient flavor in every bite all the way through, you see? It is supposed to be a pleasure to consume what Nature has provided us and with just a little effort it can be so fun and rewarding for Your Body and Your Mind as well…just awesome!!

Ok, back to the salad. You want to chop everything in nice little chunks, almost as if you are making a Cole Slaw. Put all veggies and onions and things in first. Of course things like the fresh garlic ginger and jalapenos you may want to dice or press extra small so as to not give you or one of your guests an unpleasant and overpowering burning sensation. Throw it all in this mixing bowl and grab a nice wooden spoon or equivalent and really mix it all together well. I like to mix everything before I start adding spices and Mayo just so I can be sure we get a nice, thorough mixture.

Now that you have all veggies and peppers in the bowl you are ready to add the Tuna (or substitute) and the mayo (or substitute) and you’re almost ready to eat. Make sure you mix it all really well and then decide how you are going to eat this lovely dish. It should resemble a semi-creamy bowl of skittles, fruit loops, fruity pebbles and tuna fish. Except this treat could only be provided by Nature and for reasons uncertain would never be endorsed by multi-millionaire dollar media campaigns or pushed on our children and our society like all this other crap and garbage that is out there killing our country and our future.

I like to lightly toast some nice Squaw or Rye bread and eat this as a sandwich or just grab a big spoon and eat it right out of the bowl. Either way, I think you will enjoy it and I look forward to hearing how it turns out for all of you! Please comment and let me know, thank you!!

 

Now the best part about this (and I won’t go into too much detail as this has already gone a little long) is that I spent less than $10 for this meal, I can eat it twice and it is far more healthy than ANYTHING I can get out in the marketplace for the same amount of money. I spend about $10-15/week on produce and about $5-10/week on Protein. So you can do the math, I am spending between $50-75/month to Live. And I am healthy and active and working from dawn until faint everyday and I am still able to perform at my best or even better than when I was  in (what I considered then)to be the peak of my health and performance.

Until next time, go out and Make today The Greatest Day of Your Life!!

http://nuricheaspen.com

So, I am realizing that as my Life gets better and I am starting to earn a significantly larger income I am still Living the minimalistic lifestyle I have been leading up to this point. A good friend pointed out that my meals are so exciting to her and that I really Live incredibly healthy and that maybe I should share that. Now, those of you who know me well realize that this may not be such a bad idea considering cooking has always been one of my primary passions and also something I happen to be fairly proficient at…I have often taken pleasure in secretly watching a crowd of Humans devour and savor every last delicious morsel of a meal that I prepared and put together.

Which brings me to today’s topic, “The Shoestring Diet”. You see, I have spent a long time developing the skills to attain my goals and dreams in Life and I am starting to see that persistence coming to fruition as I start to acquire or accumulate more of what I have always sought. And the best part is that I am still Living pretty much the same way. I am going to try and give You (The Reader) some tips and techniques which I use to eat better than most but for pennies on the dollar. Now keep in mind this Lifestyle is not hard, it’s not complicated and it is certainly not expensive. In fact, it requires only a commitment to health and wellness and a little shift or redirect in your spending and your eating habits.

I like to eat vegetables. I love fruits and berries, carrots and Brussel sprouts. How great is a fresh bowl of Spinach?! It’s Incredible to me. Some people (most) do not share this sentiment although the masses are catching on. If you are shopping for a family keep in mind that the amounts I provide are approximate and should be modified according to how many in your household and how (and how much) they eat.

Red Cabbage goes a LONG way. If you can enjoy red cabbage, you can put it in just about everything. Green cabbage too.  Carrots are essential as well as beets and red onions. Find a good Tofu and you can’t go wrong. The local grocery where I shop sells containers of Firm Tofu for $1.59/14oz. Now, to me this a screaming deal, you are getting almost a full pound of protein (healthy protein, I might add) for a buck and half…are you kidding me?! I load up on this stuff and it lasts me weeks. I always have some Cilantro, Red Bell Peppers and Zucchini (green and yellow squash). Garlic and Ginger, Green Onions and fresh Jalapenos are critical to any good quick stir-fry or salad. Always keep a couple cans of Tuna (I prefer Albacore) on hand and you can have the most amazing meals ready to roll at your fingertips. And I mean in 10 minutes or less. You can sauté up some thin strips of tofu and in the time it takes for the garlic and ginger and onions to soak in, you can chop up enough veggies to feed to the wife/husband and the kids and they will be begging you for more because it ‘tasted so fresh and awesome and different’. Throw it on a bed of brown rice (this is the part that takes some time but can be pre-made with ease and almost no effort) Corn tortillas take about 3 minutes in a toaster oven and can be turned into any type of tacos in an instant( I Love tofu tacos!!). Trust me on this, I could give you recipes but I already see just by typing that I am going to have to give full video clinics and the best part is I will start on that immediately. I am getting hungry just talking about cooking!!

And most importantly amidst this whole regimen I have been consuming the Live and Revive and I really can’t say enough about that. These products are giving me the nutrition that I need to live this Healthy, Active lifestyle and I know I would’t feel the same without. But the key to enjoy a Healthy, Active Lifestyle which CAN NOT be achieved by 1 method or another but by ALL of these methods and strategies is through a consistent and relentless effort to give your one and only body the fuel it needs to give you the Life and Freedom that you as a Human truly deserve. Give your body what it needs and it will give you more than you can ever imagine….

Until my next installment, I bid you ALL a fond farewell. Remember, Health and Well Being are as much a State of Mind as they are a Lifestyle/Diet and it is up to you to reach for walnuts and almonds instead of potato chips, gummi bears and candy bars.

Thor Amet Riordon

 

I am writing on behalf of my good friend, Thor Riordon.  My relationship with Thor spans three decades, and in that time I have come to know Thor very well, and to better know myself through our friendship.

Thor has always been a creative, free-spirited individual, drawn to challenges, and driven to excel.  As boys we were committed to the self-expression of sports like BMX and freestyle bicycling, skateboarding, surfing, skiing and snowboarding, and hurling ourselves skyward twisting and flipping from the end of a diving board.  For Thor’s taste, the jumps could always be bigger, the diving board springier, the tricks more complicated, and the hang-time longer.

No matter the obstacle, Thor approached it with the confident assurance that it could be overcome…and it was.  The determination and commitment required to master the skills valued in youth are the same characteristics that have motivated Thor’s journey in life.  Independent from an early age, Thor heeded Mark Twain’s advice to ‘never let school get in the way of [one’s] education.’  Indeed, Thor has taken his education into his own hands for as long as I have known him.

Without the perceived benefits of a formal education, Thor has honed his intellect and has broadened his knowledge through his voracious appetite for reading, and his artful experience of the world.  Thor has achieved a level of education and sophistication, under his own direction, which has allowed him to become a published and recognized poet.

While constantly pushing himself to achieve, Thor has never lost sight of his strong desire to reach out to others, and to positively impact lives.  Thor took his love of skateboarding and spread it to countless youth as a skateboarding coach in Aspen, Colorado.  And today, Thor’s seemingly personal ambitions are informed by a deep sense of philanthropy.

Thor’s impact on me is immeasurable, our lives having been intertwined for so long.  However, I have often referenced an episode from our early lives that I know helped to determine my course:  When we were in sixth grade, Thor recognized that I possessed artistic talent, and asked for drawing lessons…from a twelve-year-old.  We got together for a few sessions.  Thor did not go on to become the next Picasso, but I did go on to major in Fine Art in college, and I am a teacher today.  And I hold Thor partially responsible.

Thor Riordon is the self-made man.  Reliant on his wits and ambitions from an early age, Thor has matured to become a man of integrity and loyalty, of ingenuity and ambition, of passion and compassion.  His zeal and joie de vivre are infectious.  And his journey continues.

 

With thanks,

A distant song on a silent night

a beautiful cobra without the bight

a shady grove on a sunny day

an elaborate artwork without any grey

that mystical feeling ‘I’ve been here before…’

the security felt behind a locked door

the warmth of a campfire on a cold night

the joy that is felt when you do something right

a wish that you make upon a bright star

or when you discover just right where you are

all of these things I use to describe

a most peculiar and wonderful vibe

the pact that you make which you know never ends

the moment you realize you’ve just become Friends.

Someone whom is always there

that person you know who will always care

the one you are sure will always play fair

who will always chip in even with none to spare

a person you trust who won’t let you down

and for reasons uncertain always reverses your frown

your drink of fresh water in this desert of Life

the one you’d consider for husband or wife

the Friend with whom you’d run away

to some far-off deserted island to stay

the one who’s there beside you until you’re dying day

and on that day you’ll say goodbye,

to your Friend.

Looking back on Nuriche’s Recent Growth:

As summer comes to an end and the fall sales season gets underway, it’s a good time to look back and reflect on how far our company has come since we launched the EquiFlex™ Rewards Plan in March. This ground-breaking compensation plan that features a true 60% payout has caused quite a stir in the network marketing industry and fueled significant overall growth for our company.

Many of you have experienced this growth yourselves as you have shared the opportunity available through the EquiFlex plan. Even during summer months when network marketing sales typically slow, Nuriche has continued to see significant exponential growth.

We gauge this growth through a few metrics. Since March, Nuriche has experienced:

• Double digit sales growth month over month
• 105% increase in Independent Business Owners
• Double digit increase in IBOs signed up for Autoship

With plans to open two significant international markets during the third quarter, we anticipate that this growth will accelerate and continue to grow into 2011.

David Parker will address this growth in more detail on a company wide Conference Call to be held on Tuesday, September 14 at 6:00 p.m. MDT (call-in info to come in separate email). However, we wanted to provide you with the sense of momentum that is building as you hit the ground running in September and throughout this fall.
