Someone said them, wrote them, or thought them. Someone else figured they sounded pretty good so the comments were remembered and repeated. No one knows who started the whole thing so the quote is attributed to “Anonymous.”

Well, Anonymous, meet Nancy Bulka, a Royal Emerald Director from Westland, Michigan, a Detroit suburb of 87,000 people. She sure seems to qualify in the eyes of Anonymous as someone possessing traits associated with “values that last a lifetime.” Those include:
■ Suffering with fortitude life’s accidents.
■ Concern for the welfare of others.

Suffering with fortitude life’s accidents

“What an awesome AIM arsenal we have when disaster strikes,” says Nancy. “I believe firmly that a healthy diet and lifestyle are the most important factors in empowering my immune system to keep me well and healthy.” Now, she believes, she really knows the truth of her words.

This spring she and her husband, Gene, took off on a bike ride to her sister’s apartment about four miles away. The first three miles, 5,279-feet went fine. It was at the end of the fourth mile, at 5,280 feet, that things didn’t go so well. “My foot caught getting off the bike and I crashed backwards. I knew I was hurt.” Hurt as in a broken hip needing surgery. “I have said for years that I don’t want to get to know doctors or nurses personally, but if I ever a break a bone, I will run if I can to a doctor. Well, it happened.”

From Sunday afternoon until surgery Monday evening at 6:30, Nancy was not allowed to eat or consume water. No problem. “BarleyLife melts right in your mouth without ever reaching your stomach. Just Carrots and RediBeets capsules do the same thing as long as you don’t swallow them whole. Taking them while waiting for surgery made my mouth and throat feel moist. Not only was I spared hunger and thirst, but my cells were being fed without my stomach having to process any food.”

The surgery went well. So well, in fact, that when her roommate was trying to reach for something Nancy got out of bed and handed it to her. “Then I realized I was standing” and she climbed back into bed. Her type of surgery can require a hospital stay of up to five days. Nancy headed home Wednesday, less than 48 hours after her Monday evening procedure.

Once home, it was back to her AIM routine of the past 15 years. BarleyLife, Herbal Fiberblend, Just Carrots, Renewed Balance, and AIMega. Plus plenty of healthy foods and lots of water. “You can’t begin proper supplementation with AIM’s food-based nutrients, proper eating, and drinking plenty of water when disaster strikes. Begin now to prepare for the future.” Her remarkable recovery from a broken hip has validated her lifestyle choices of the past 15 years. “You can bet I’m not changing anything now.”

Concern for the welfare of others

“Give of yourself without regard to what you can gain,” says Nancy. It is a philosophy of life passed from her parents. “They were quiet, unassuming, faithful people who lived to minister to others without asking anything in return.”

The AIM products and the AIM principles, Nancy feels, are a reflection of who she is, what she believes. “The ability I’ve been given to impact people’s lives and health through the high-quality AIM products and nutritional information is a blessing I’ve never taken for granted.” To this day, she can’t get over her first AIM convention in Boca Raton, Florida. “I earned the entire trip and couldn’t believe any company would pay my way to such an awesome resort just because I shared my wonderful discovery of healthful living with friends and acquaintances. I roomed with a stranger who quickly became a friend. I have never regretted for a minute my decision to commit myself to the AIM mission” of helping Members achieve their health and wealth goals.

“Life, real life, is about being able to carry on and be of service to others,” Nancy believes.

Nancy’s affiliation with AIM is not a typical AIM story. It came, she recalls, as a result of “pestering. A co-worker of mine with Ford Motor Company, Nancy Mills, tried for years to get me to try the AIM products. Finally, she had me trapped in a car on a short vacation trip. I finally gave in and really listened to her. I am thankful for that day and I will be forever grateful to Nancy for not giving up on me.”

Within five years of using and encouraging others to use the AIM products, Nancy’s AIM commission matched her Ford Motor check. She launched Garden Ministries out of her faith so directing her and her belief in AIM. “I am so thankful to Nancy Mills and AIM for completely changing my direction in life. This is a ministry beyond anything I ever dreamed of as a legal secretary at Ford.”

Nancy Bulka’s not-so-typical AIM tale does not stop with Nancy Mills. How about a neighbor offering to become an AIM distributor to help her business? Someone asking to become an AIM Member is not an everyday happening. And a marriage, too? Not exactly the stuff of betting odds in Las Vegas. Yet, today it is Nancy Bulka, married to husband Gene for nearly four years. “Gene, my neighbor, offered to become a Member of my downline to help my business. I made him an even better offer,” laughs Nancy. “Marry me and become an AIM Royal Emerald Director. I am so glad he did.” The Bulkas have eight grown children and 18 grandchildren. “When we married, Gene carried a card for one year with the names of my 15 grandchildren on it,” smiles Nancy.

Scan Nancy’s life and you see unrelated events all coming together to form who she is today. There was a Dale Carnegie course at Ford that she uses today in her AIM business. A co-worker named Nancy Mills, who would not take no for an answer. A neighbor, Gene Bulka, offering to join the company to assist her. The helping others belief instilled in her by her parents. An AIM convention that changed her life, to the point where she still recalls the first time she sang the AIM song, “In Partnership for Life.” A bike accident that affirmed her belief in diet, exercise, and the AIM products. The inspirational words of an AIM executive who challenged her to give her customers outrageous service.

Nancy no doubt understands the message from yet another Anonymous source: “Light a lamp for someone and it will also brighten your path.”
