News From John

Dear Friends,
Hello from Sunny Oakland, California! I hope this finds you all well. As some of you know, I have been working very hard on my new business and web site and am excited to announce that my new web site is finally up and running! Whew!!! What a long haul it was! Web programming was not one of my foremost skills so I had to learn many things from scratch. I taught myself HTML, Dreamweaver, Flash, Fireworks, and learned how to install and modify a few Pearl scripts. (all basic web techie stuff) Now that is all done, it's time to focus on stage two which is welcoming you all to visit my new site!

As many of you know, I am a whole foods advocate and have been sharing this message with others for years through catering, my work as a chef, and teacher. I also have a strong technical background having been in the electronics and computer service business for years. I know...sounds a little wacky when you put them together but I have come up with an angle to help people through using these skills together.

Modern life is more complicated than ever before. After our time has been consumed by work, preparing meals, paying bills, and the other demands if life....there is often hardly any time life for what matters most to us. That is where I come in. My mission is to support clients in achieving what I call peak performance. I focus on three areas, helping them to: have vibrant health, leverage technology in a way simplifies rather than complicates their life, and to have a high degree of organization that lowers their stress and increases their productivity. I do this by offering services tailored to their needs. Click on services at my site for more on this. My site contains pictures of my food creations, articles on health & nutrition, products I have hand picked for their usefulness, and links to other helpful sites.

This newsletter is also a part of my mission. In it, I will give you health and nutrition information that will help you feel happier in your body. I will include recipes, free articles on the whole foods diet, tips on eating and emotions, and many other topics. I will give you my reviews on new helpful products I am excited about. I'll show you how to start an electronic filing system that saves you time. This is just the beginning. Each issue of my newsletter, PEAK PERFORMANCE PARTER, will be chock full of juicy information designed to help you enjoy your life more!

Part of the reason I am writing is to ask for your help. In order to get my site and new business off the ground, I need your help in spreading the word. I would be grateful if you would be willing to cut and paste the following blurb in an email and send it to 5 or more of your friends:

"Hi,

(your name here)

Of course you can write your own message too...I just included this one to make it easier for you. The other way you can help is to forward this email to people you know. I really appreciate your help with this!

High Energy Recipe of the Week

Emerald Sunrise
This is a recipe that is both nutritious and delicious! I have been enjoying this one a lot lately. It's a very healthy combination since it combines the energy-rich sugars of the orange with the mineral and micro-nutrient rich greens. It's a very balanced drink! Blending the greens makes their many nutrients available for absorption.

1. Juice 4-5 oranges and pour into Vita-Mix or other blender.
2. Rinse a hand-full of braising mix and add to mixture.
3. Blend on high for 10-20 seconds.
4. Enjoy!

Resource of the Week

Many of you have heard me talk a lot about the vita-mix blender. It's the most versatile health appliance out there! It's high power allows you to create the smoothest smoothies and the variable speed allow you to do many thinks like achieve a certain texture for a soup or chop onions. It's great! I have searched the net for the lowest price on a vitamix and have found it! CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE! Using this link will allow you to pick up a vita-mix for $60 less than what they normally go for.

Ezine Note

I have taken the liberty to add you all to my ezine list. I hope this is OK with everyone and if not, please click on the link you will see below to unsubscribe yourself....sorry if this inconveniences anyone. I plan to send out PEAK PERFORMANCE PARTER 1-4 times a month depending on how things go...we'll see.

Thank you all for your support over the year. I am grateful for all of you in my life! I would appreciate any comments you have about my site also or even if you just want to say hi!
