The Salt Lake City Regional was an amazing event. Of course the launch of EMV was unbelievable… and so was The MORE Project GIVE. Dallin Larsen, CEO of MonaVie led into The MORE Project section by sharing her personal connection and feelings about The MORE Project. If any of you had a chance to see this, you could really see Dallin’s heart and commitment to MORE. He cares so much about making a difference in this world and commits MonaVie to help make that difference.

Sergio was there with me… love that man. He has such a heart and is all about love. He gives love to the project and to the people we serve. He shared his heart. He shared his own vulnerability.

I also talked and shared my heart. We reflected on the last year. So much has happened in the last year. We have seen so much progress in the programs in Brazil – more children fed and educated, more adults have gone through classes and are getting jobs, homes have been built, children have moved into safe havens. It has been an amazing year and a half. I have been changed by this amazing project and continue to be in awe at the goodness of the MonaVie distributors.

Dallin harkened back to the Salt Lake annual convention of two years ago (2007) where 1 million dollars was raised and talked about that magical day. As people were asked to come forward that day and give… the giving did not stop for two hours. Distributors quietly shed tears as they watched pictures of the people we were helping in Brazil and experienced giving like many had never seen before.

Dallin asked distributors to consider giving again at this level. He asked them to open their hearts and take time to reflect on the goodness and blessings being poored on MonaVie and how we might continue to give back. Salt Lake is just a special place and time each year. Distributors tell me they can’t wait for the GIVE in Salt Lake City because it moves them so much.

We raised 1 million dollars last year (2008) at the Salt Lake annual…. and again, a miracle occurred this year (2009). In the middle of a challenging economy where giving is down all over the world, giving continues to go up for The MORE Project. We raised 1.1 million dollars through the Salt Lake City event this year (2009).

I am humble at the generosity and giving spirit of all or our donors. The night of the convention I was having dinner with several distributors. One of them said he thought the MORE Project give was a holy event. Truly holy. He had only experienced something like that twice in his life and one of those times was in the presence of Mother Theresa.

Thank you and Obrigada to all of you who were there in person and through the webcast. Through your spirit, you added to the holiness of that moment in time. We truly are blessed. Godspeed.
