The key ingredient to the perfect breakfast, this February 16 get yourself a mouth-watering stack toward heaven because it’s National Pancake Day!
Observed annually in Spring, and since beginning its first celebration in 2006, IHOP restaurants have raised over $24 million to support charities in the communities in which they operate.
We grew up observing Pancake Tuesday it prepares you for fasting for 40 days in LENT.
National Pancake Day is celebrated on February 16 every year. A thin flat cake prepared with a batter made from milk, eggs, flour, and oil or butter, the pancake and its variations are found in almost every culture.
Also known as Johnnycakes, griddle cakes or hotcakes, this batter-made breakfast item dates back more than 30,000 years. In fact, it may be the oldest breakfast food in history, spanning as far back as the Stone Age and even found in the stomach of Otzi the Iceman, who’s human remains are estimated to be 5,300 years old.
The Middle English word ‘pancake’ first appeared in English in the 15th century however, Ancient Greeks and Romans made what were called Alita Dolcia or “another sweet” with wheat flour, olive oil, honey, and curdled milk. Greek Poets, Cratinus and Magnes wrote about them in their poetry and Shakespeare mentions them in his famous plays. During the English Renaissance, pancakes were flavored with spices, rosewater, sherry, and apples. This practice of pouring batter on a pan and frying it is common in nearly every culture around the world.
In the UK, they’ve celebrated Shrove Tuesday since 1100 A.D. It is the day before Ash Wednesday, also referred to in other places as Fat Tuesday. This very popular Feast Day is observed through participating in confession, finalizing a lenten sacrifice, as well as consuming pancakes and other sweets.
This year guests from around the country will once again celebrate National Pancake Day at IHOP and enjoy a free short stack of Buttermilk pancakes. In return for the free pancakes, guests will be asked to consider leaving a donation to designated local charities. This is your opportunity to contribute to your community and enjoy a delicious meal. Don’t miss out!

Well hello there, High Achiever.
How are you really doing?
If you’re anything like me, it can feel like you have one foot on the gas and one foot on the brake.
Times are challenging, and it can be really difficult to juggle two of the necessary aspects of life; work and health.
Juggling work? Pfft easy. You got that.
In fact, you probably rock that area of your life. It comes fairly effortlessly and you feel empowered and confident - challenging, yes, but you still feel empowered.
Juggling work AND health?
Now.. there’s where you hit a snag.
Studies show that, for the high achiever, health often comes at an expense.
It’s slippery. It can quickly slide out of awareness as you aim your focus on your career and managing the people around you.
And because you tend to be unsuccessful in that area of your life, as a high achiever, you feel powerless so you keep letting it slide and instead focus on what you do best.
You pride yourself on having it together, yet, you have the toughest time admitting when you need some help. Real help.
But you’re not alone. Many high achieving “jugglers” tend to let that ball drop.
And dropping that ball is so painful, not to mention, it’s such a waste of your true potential. Seriously… it’s an absolute waste.
But there’s no doubt in my mind that you could start having fewer low days and many more high days. Right now.
It might sound too good to be true but, I promise you, it’s not!
It’s time to add that ball back into your juggling act. It’s time to take back your power and reclaim your health.
Enough is enough.
Enough lowering your standards. You deserve more than what you’ve been giving yourself.
I’ve worked with thousands of people that make that misstep. Sacrificing health for the sake of your career because the demands never stop.
So, I GET IT!
Thankfully, we’ve been ultra successful in helping people turn their health around.
Join me and my team for an 8 week online group mastermind to rediscover and catapult your inner health, power, and confidence.
We’ll guide you through an expertly curated framework that will teach you how to master yourself physically, emotionally and spiritually through:
✔ self-healing and self-regulating the brain and nervous system from stress, trauma, or daily worry
✔ creating clarity and inspiration of the mind by refining vision, values, true meaning and purpose for yourself
✔ building energy and vitality expressed in the body through sound nutritional practices, food cycling, hydration and wise empowered choices
✔ lowering inflammation to decrease pain, lower excess heat, and minimize aging
✔ releasing pent up frustrations, mental stress, anger and guilt that run our emotional brain
✔ lowering cortisol and stress hormones to bring more hormonal balance
✔ losing some excess body fat percentage that is waiting to release (sweet side bonus!)
✔ deeply surrendering in your healing to move toward a more congruent and authentic self expression
Again, this program is designed to help you 10x your health, energy and confidence.
If you want help reclaiming your health, to feel empowered in all aspects of your life and become a pro-juggler,
then sign up for https://vlonline.teachable.com/p/health-recovery-rejuvenation" target="_blank">Mastering Health Recovery and Rejuvenation.
With this course comes our exciting news!
We're thrilled and proud to reveal our newest project and next big step in Exceptional Living - Veressent Life Online - our brand-new online learning platform that allows you to join us from the comfort of your own home and set a new course for your health and future.
We can’t wait to share this experience with you!

Like most business owners and entrepreneurs, you’ve got a list of things to accomplish before you actually start working:
Check your email and follow up on any time-sensitive emails and internal messages
Review today’s schedule of video conferences and team meetings
Catch up on industry news and important events that have an impact on your business
Go over metrics from recent promotions and look for ways to improve performance...
You get the picture.
But did you notice that when you read a list like that ^^^, it’s much easier to imagine yourself actually achieving those tasks, versus when it’s jumbled into a block of text? Like...
Today I have to check my email, review my schedule for the day, catch up with the sales team on the status of their weekly metrics, walk the dog, follow up with Jim to about the client proposal, feed the cat, check Google Analytics for funnel performance metrics and see where we can optimize, and take the kids to soccer.
You probably didn’t even read all that ^^^, and I don’t blame you. Because it’s easy to skip over important copy if nothing looks important.
Well...
...the same can be said for your sales messages.
And if your emails and landing pages aren’t converting as well as they should be, you’ve just added another thing to your to-do list.
My Sales-Boosting Bullets Playbook breaks down the essential elements your copy must have to get your customers’ eyes on the most important details of your products or services.
Because when you create bulleted lists of information for your prospects to read you:
Build curiosity and a sense of urgency in your reader
Get right to the point by stripping away the "fluff" that makes copy too long
Focus their attention on a skimmable, time-saving list of benefits that your customers can immediately connect with
If you’re not using bullets, you’re making it too hard for your customers to know that YOU have what they want.
Snag my $7 Sales Boosting Bullet’s Playbook right now and start persuading your prospects with the proven sales copy method that gets results.
