This page is a dedicated safe place for my Charlotte Area NextDoor Neighbors wishing to provide and receive local support in favor of decreasing or eliminating sugar. The sole purpose of this page is to provide a completely (and forever) free landing place for people to connect in a fun, safe, effective, efficient and organized way. My goal is to make this webpage a dependable source for us no matter where we are. If you can think of other resources you would like to easily find here, please speak up! :)
In this video is the history of our SUGAR! Sandbox that is on the verge of becoming viral. I don't usually record video in my robe...but thought it necessary to be as historically accurate as possible. Happy watching!
Often we set goals. Often we fail. Why is that? In this video I share some tips and tricks on how to set goals and stick with them.
Reality check! In this video I share 4 very popular condiments, the serving size AND the real amount consumed. Watch this video, go give these bottles a big hug and toss them in the recycle bin!
Are you side-eying the goal of removing added sugar or sugar altogether? You are not alone!
For those of you that have not done this before...it is super tough for a couple of weeks if you go cold turkey (which isn't the only option). And if you have done it...you know how hard it is AND how rewarding it can be.
I have done this in the past and have had great results. I dropped weight, I felt better, I didn't have afternoon crashing, and I slept better.
I have been thinking about going through this chosen withdrawal h-e-double-hockey-stick for a couple of weeks now. It occurred to me that perhaps I am not alone and cue the blog! :)
A bit about me. I am...
A curious and voracious learner who is known for the highest personal and professional integrity in every aspect of work and life. A problem solver who easily captures audiences by skillfully deploying genuine enthusiasm with innate ability to connect with others and build relationships. A self-starter who thrives in self-learning, fast-paced environments. A respected trainer/mentor who welcomes challenges others have deemed impossible as well as managing the ordinary day-to-day. A skilled and certified negotiator who asks the right questions, creates a well-defined roadmap and drives to win-win solutions. A personable, highly skilled first responder who has scored in the 95th percentile regarding logic and critical thinking on official exams. Known as an empathetic icebreaker and the most polite bulldog you'll ever meet.
Wow!!! I did not anticipate the number of responses I am receiving. I knew I wasn't alone, but this is AWESOME!! :)
Thank you for your patience as I try to scale this quest to match the number of neighbors interested.
Because of the volume of responses, and my desire to help as many people as possible...I had to make some changes regarding efficiency. I absolutely do not want to miss someone's request to join.

During these sessions we will use Zoom and Miro. Part of the appeal of these sessions is to find support and in order for support offered to be successful, there must also be trust. You are not required to, but are highly encouraged to have your camera on so that we can see each other.

Zoom is free to you and is used for all of our connections.

SUGAR! Sandbox Support System
The photo above is a portion of our Miro board.
This is our sandbox! I am simply the creator and facilitator putting my skills and tools to use for the personal endeavor. If there is something you would like to see, please let me know.
Our board is added to every day by me and your neighbors (as more join). It allows for neighbors to interact in ways that are fun and effective! And...it avoids pesky texts, emails, etc.
It will be a while before it's self service simply because I am learning what matters to our neighbors most. As more and more people join us, the easier it will be to connect neighbors with neighbors.
This board is private and only accessible by invitation. The link below will only work if you have been invited to the board. Our Neighborhood Board can be found here.

Not too long ago...I had this crazy idea to make a post on my local NextDoor page. I was thinking I would find a couple of people that were interested kicking sugar to the curb. I thought maybe I would find someone that I could connect with to help ease the pains on a little journey called...quitting sugar.
I never expected the volume of positive responses from that type of a post. I quickly put together the web page SUGAR! Sandbox and of course a Miro board to go along with it. It wasn't long before someone became "not awesome" on the page and attempted to have my post removed. It was reviewed and allowed to stay...thankfully.
Being the professional problem solver that I am...I thought...how cool would it be if I could put something together that provided regular support throughout the day and play matchmaker among people looking for an accountability partner. While this matchmaking is still in the works and quite manual...I believe this little idea I had while having coffee on the couch...could turn into something much bigger than I ever realized!
On this page, members will find free videos containing education, motivation and success stories, etc. In order to access this page, you will be asked to set up a free account on AskAshley.life if you haven't already done so.
Stay curious and kind,
