With the new year just hours away, many of us are focused on the "R" word – (you know the one I mean; it rhymes with "elocution"…)   The Melt team at Prosperity Organic Foods would like to wish everyone a healthy and happy 2011 and share a few of our own ideas on maintaining a sense of well-being now and throughout the new year….

Cygnia (Our Founder and Chief Science Officer) suggests getting a guest pass to the local gym when travelling.  “Injecting some exercise into each day can really help reduce stress levels as well as make up for those extra calories consumed on the road.”

Korri (Chief Accounting Officer) always brings healthy appetizers when attending the party circuit.  She is also going to try working fewer weekends (Korri has a little work/life balance issue we are trying to help her overcome – go Korri!)

Susan (Director of Marketing) says moderation in everything, especially sugary treats.  “Nothing is worse than sugar withdrawals during those long dark days of January”.

Craig (Vice President of Sales) enjoys one nice glass of wine at the end of each work day.   (We love you Craig!)

Meg (President and CEO) says the entire company gets an extra 4 weeks of paid vacation this year!  (Not really, but wouldn't it be great?) 

From all of us to all of you – Best wishes for 2011!
