Samaritans Feet and Team NaturalBody a success!
17 generous NaturalBody Personal Training friends and clients met Saturday Dec. 12th at 8:45am to give to those less fortunate at the Samaritan’s Feet warehouse in Indian Land, SC. Needless to say this was not about how cold it has gotten or how early it was to get up or the fact that it was a Saturday….this was about giving and giving to those who just don’t have what we have…..Shoes, love and the word of God. We all enjoyed getting together meeting and making new friends and giving our time to a great cause.
Take the time to check out the fun in the photo album of our time spent giving!
Thanks again to Jim, Sam and Jackson Acuff, Lucia Bayne, Darlene Lee, Steve, Lori, Don, and Bryan Herzhauser , Adam Freshcorn, Kyle Johnson, Katie Hudgens, Kayla Pendergrass, Jake, Chris Hale and Patsy Walker for coming out and giving of your time! Also thanks to Dave Waldman for providing shoes for the children!

An Evening of Enlightenment with Joel Bryant

An Evening of Enlightenment with Joel Bryant

Joel Bryant & Candi Acuff
I began the evening by opening with a short testimony of how Joels’ writing Doing the Dream was introduced into my life. I also shared how my dreams from 5 years ago had been fulfilled due to my being persistent in following the keys Joel had given me some 3 years ago.


I shared that not only had I reclaimed a new “dream job”, but I had gained success in my new business in a down economy. Only by my commitment of following the keys of doing my dream would they be fulfilled. I also shared my personal love story of two dreamers who would meet, fall in love and marry due to having the same dreams. I shared my recent marriage to Jim Acuff on Feb. 14th of 2009 and how he was the original sender of Joel’s writing Doing the Dream. A very small world where 2 people were determined to gain their dreams.
I began Joel’s introduction with the reading of his writing Doing the Dream and then played a 1 minute video commercial of Michael Jordans “Maybe”. (Check it out by clicking here!)
What’s your excuse?
Joel then took over and lectured to us for the next 90 minutes on the keys to succeed at doing your dream. Wow! He was ON and he was great!
For those who have not heard Joel before you must listen intently as he is a man of many words and deep content that provokes one to truly get face to face with one’s self.
What’s your excuse? Time, kid’s, failed marriage, family issues, friends, fear, not enough money, some ex beau or girlfriend, not enough heart, not enough soul! I was totally engrossed by his words as usual and found myself planning to be much more definitive for my dreams that I want over the next 3 years.
After the lecture I provided a wine and cheese tasting that was hosted by Genie O’Shaunessey and Margaret Stafford from EarthFare. Everyone came out and had a chance to talk to Joel and view his books. For those wanting a book he was there to sign them and give them advice as to which would be the best read for them. A great opportunity to meet this wonderful speaker and share some personal time!

Joel and I have one thing in common for sure. We want to help people acheive their dreams and goals. That is why we did this event. To all who came I look forward to hearing back from you as to what you are doing to DO your dream. For those who missed it check back for future seminars by Joel Bryant so you to can get the keys to doing your dream! Please let me know by commenting below as to how you enjoyed the night! Hope to hear from you and see you soon!
