“Choose to Live Well”
(Verse 1)
I woke up this morning feeling low
Head’s pounding, joints ache, why do I feel so slow?
It’s Sunday, I should be catching up, not feeling this way
But choices we make in the moment sometimes make us pay
I thought it’d be okay, just a little cheat
A meal at our favorite place, a beer so sweet
But what we don’t realize, it’s more than what we see
The toxic food we eat can bring us to our knees
(Chorus)
So choose to live well, make the better call
What you put in your body, it matters after all
A moment of pleasure can bring a world of pain
But when you choose to live well, you’ll feel strong again
(Verse 2)
I grew up on fried meals, pasta, and bread
Thought it was in my genes, like the women before me said
But what I didn’t know, it’s not just our fate
We have the power to change; it’s never too late
Clean eating’s the way; no room for a slip
Even just one bite can turn the tide, make your body flip
I’ve learned it the hard way, and now I share with you
You don’t have to suffer; you can see this through
(Chorus)
So choose to live well, make the better call
What you put in your body, it matters after all
A moment of pleasure can bring a world of pain
But when you choose to live well, you’ll feel strong again
(Bridge)
Don’t let a craving steal your peace; your health’s worth more
One step forward is a step to restore
The energy, the life, the joy you deserve
Take care of your body; it’s more than just nerve
(Chorus)
So choose to live well, make the better call
What you put in your body, it matters after all
A moment of pleasure can bring a world of pain
But when you choose to live well, you’ll feel strong again
(Outro)
Yeah, when you choose to live well, you’ll rise and shine
Feel the love in your heart, the strength in your spine
Choose to live well; it’s the path to take
For your happiness, for your life's sake.
feel the love in your heart, the strength in your spine
choose to live well it's the path to take
For your happiness, for your life’s sake.
"Very well put. I've been with a health and nutrition company for over 26 years and I understand exactly what you are going through. I shiver to think what my health might be today at age 68 had I not stuck to my guns as far as practicing what I preach. Yes, I fall off the wagon regularly but my daily routine life reflects taking care of my health. That way I can keep up (somewhat) with my 7 grandchildren. You keep it up, Carla". 
"For most people the thought of venturing out there in pursuit of your dreams, in a place outside of your comfort zones is just what stops them. But I could sense your excitement not resentment in going against the competition. In planting your stake and truly making a difference in the clients experience. That's ultimately what matters, the rest just falls so easily into place. Thanks for that reminder"! 
Carla, I’ve got to say that I LOVE your focus on the joys and challenges facing women over 50. I’m definitely in that camp! I’ve been inspired by your candor, practical ideas, and refreshing determination to joyfully tackle life. The hours we’ve spent on the phone, in person, and through social media have enriched my life immeasurably. YOU are one Fiery Grandma, and I love your style! 
I have known Carla Gardiner for 6+ years. We met at a business training for bring business online. She is a business women at heart and willing to do the hard things to make the results show up. I have watched her run a business, work a job and take care of her family. She is a go getter when it comes to putting in the work to build her business to the level of being able to enjoy her grand kids.
She is the example that age is not a limit it is a tool for sharing knowledge to those she empowers to use their own skills and talents. Excuses are fuel to push her to learn and apply. I have seen her scared to death about implementing new technology and rock it out despite the learning curve.
I love watching you grow into your greatness Carla! Don’t slow down. 
"Carla, you are a model for me to follow. I love your site. And, I like what you have to say - very kind, very gracious. I have to say though that nothing in my life has ever been crystal clear". 
"I've known Carla for 5+ years and can tell you that she has lived every bit of this and more. We shared tears and laughs and hard work....you will enjoy getting to know Carla."
