Paul Newman 1925-2008

For 25 years, we at Newman's Own have had a front row seat to watch Paul's entrepreneurial brilliance, humor, and compassion at work helping those in need. Our company motto, "Shameless Exploitation in Pursuit of the Common Good," was Paul's vision for Newman's Own and it is a philosophy we are proud to continue.

Paul occasionally referred to Newman's Own as the "joke that got out of control" and would express astonishment at its success. Despite this humorous approach, Paul was committed to the company's business and to providing top-notch quality – he brought all-natural food products to a wide audience long before it was fashionable. And he was one of the greatest recyclers, giving back to charity all the money he earned from the sale of Newman's Own products.

Newman's Own has grown into a powerful and lasting expression of Paul Newman's generosity. The Company has generated over $250 million in proceeds that have been donated by Paul Newman and the Newman's Own Foundation to thousands of charities worldwide. Particularly close to his heart were the Hole in the Wall Camps, now the leading global family of camps for children with life-threatening illnesses, which Paul started over 20 years ago.

Today, Newman’s Own is a thriving company with hundreds of millions of dollars in annual revenue. As always, all profits are donated to charity through Newman's Own Foundation.

Lemme get this straight...I get to have chocolate and my calcium at the same time?

This stuff tastes so good, you will not beleive you are eating something that can be good for you. I get to have a sweet, chocolate treat and I am being healthy at the same time. I was just told that because of my lupus, and the side effects of some of my medicines, that it would be smart for me to start taking Calcium and Vitamin D supplements.

Just the thought of swallowing another pill made me gag!

Yay for helpful people at the pharmacy! I found this new product and I have been getting my calcium 3 times a day ever since!

Okay, let's be honest, sometimes life gets us down. When you live life with a chronic illness it is easy to get sad, depressed or down right angry. I think it is important to focus on the good, the awesome and the things that make me happy. I will be trying to mention "happy things" a few times a week.

So to start us off, today eyeeco.com made me happy. They made a very generous donation to my Lupus Walk page! It was unexpected and made me smile.
