Playing, playing with my words. . .

An explanation

Today I gave 1 class the opportunity to write for 10 minutes. I call it a mind dump, mainly because that's what you do, just dump everything out of your mind. The kids, however, several years ago told me that it's like your brain is "taking a dump." Their words, not mine. But they liked it. And it's middle school. And scatological humor kills in middle school, so I've stuck with the name. Some kids ask for a topic, and I give them a broad one: family, friends, school, decaying roadkill. Then they put pen to paper--or fingers to "keyboard" on the iPad--and write for 10 minutes. Whatever comes to mind, however it comes to mind. Sometimes we get stories, sometimes we even get poems, sometimes we get revelations, often we get streams of consciousness and when we share, we laugh about the tangents our mind takes. Well today, I wrote--typed--along with them. My broad topic was Xyngular, and I began it as a list. However, as I promised last week, I decided to take what I had written and change it to a Wordle. (Awesome site, see www.wordle.net) It takes the words most-used, throws out the little words: a, an, and, the, I, etc., and puts the words into a cool shape-like blob. I made 4 using the text of my "mind dump." I wanted to see different effects. I'll include all 4, as well as the original text for the "dump" below. (Fingers crossed that I can get this to work!)

Other than Xyngular, what words stand out? Do different ones stand out on different Wordles? The original text is below, and true to the spirit of the "mind dump," I did not edit, check spelling, punctuation, grammar, etc. That's also the reason it may sound repetitive or juvenile. I was typing against the clock. And didn't take a second more! All hail the mind dump--Huzzah!!

 I hope everyone had a great Monday!


Xyngular is a God send, or Why I love Xyngular.

Xyngular products have offered me a way to get control of my eating

Xyngular has offered helped me break my carb addiction face life with more energy and become successful at losing weight and becoming healthy

With the Xyngular products I have learned to make healthy wise clean choices when I eat. And though intellectually I could do this before, I wasn’t able to.

The energy I gain from the Xyngular products has helped in my professional and personal life.

Before I began taking Xyng, I barely could make it through the day. As a teacher, it was hard with no energy. But the energy I have now take me through the school day, after school rehearsals and into the evening at home.

Not only has my energy increased, but my sleeping has increased, as well. And it is a deeper more restful sleep.

There is no jittery-ness that keeps me up at night.

I also have been relieved of the little and big aches and pains that used to aggravate me. The chronic pain I felt before was like a gnat that I couldn’t get rid of. It was something I lived with. So the relief is something that takes a few days and/or weeks to realize. I have found myself on several occasions saying, wow. My ears don’t hurt anymore. I like this long term relief. It is natural

Which leads me to the natural products themselves. I like that I can pronounce all of the words on the ingredient list. And I’m learning so much about nutrition and protein. It helps me maximize what the products are doing.

On top of that, there are the visible results. Results that people can see. Results that I can see. Results that I can feel! I truly find myself, when I am having conversations with people, saying in my head, “Xyngular can help with that. Xyngular can help with that, too.”

And things I never thought would never be affected by what I consumed—hair, complexion, finger nail health—have surprised me by improving. And sometimes it takes people to point these results out. I cannot see the difference in my complexion, because I really don’t pay attention, but others do and see what has happened.

Xyngular has given my  health, has helped see that I can be a success, and that this success is long-lasting and can flow to other areas of my life.

I love love love what Xyngular is doing in my life. And that the rewards are financial, as well. But that is not the priority. I want to share these products with everyone. I want them to know that they, too, can experience what I have and become the person God designed them to be.
