Live My Best Life

I am continually amazed at my experience in Direct Sales and how I am able to move that growth into all areas of my life. Or, it's probably more likely that the growth I experience every day radiates outward, touching my family, my co-workers, my friends, my business. I am experiencing such an amazing sense of peace, of gratitude, of growth ...

A few months ago, all I knew was that I wanted a career change. While the company I work for is wonderful, and the owner is kind and generous, my soul speaks to me of greater experiences ahead of me. Owning my own time, being able to do things with my daughter and her class, having a belief in my own Company was beginning to percolate in my Spirit. But, you know, I've done my career for over 30 years! What else am I qualified to do?

It was about that time that my sister contacted me and said "have I got the company for us!" Yeah yeah whatever was my inner response, but she was so enthusiastic that I agreed. Shortly after that we signed up for our 35% wholesale membership and two business were born!

Today we are involved in community events and causes. We are growing our businesses side-by-side yet separately. My husband supports me wholeheartedly and my daughter is my business partner; the fact that she is 12 allows her the opportunity to learn the Spirit of an Entrepreneur, giving her the experience of creating her own destiny. The freedom of not being an employee -- of creating her own passion and creating her own financial choices and not the choices of her "boss".

I am so amazingly blessed to have been gifted this business. It is a stepping stone to so many incredible experiences and growth expansion.

Thank you for being a part of it.

Simple ways to make a difference ...

This morning -- for the first time in a couple of weeks! -- I was able to take my daughter and her friends to school. Both of our cars have been challenged of late, and both were finally feeling good again! Anyway, we usually we have G, but we also had C this morning, which was an unexpected treat. As we were driving, they were talking about the fact that C has a field trip today, and G and L didn't. "I hate being different," C said.

I thought about that for a few seconds, and how being Different is what sets us apart from the herd. So I asked ...

"I know this sounds like a weird question, but have any of you seen a flock of sheep? Or a herd of cows -- like those red and white ones...?"

"Yeah" they kind of muttered, wondering what weirdness an Adult would come up with this time.

"Or how about a field of flowers," I asked. "You know how they all look the same?"

"Yeah" they muttered again, and I could hear that their interest was a little piqued, but they still thought I was whacked.

"The ones that are different, and stand out -- those flowers that don't look like the other flowers, and are different ... it's those kind of flowers that got elected President yesterday."

They were silent for a heart beat, and then went off on pre-teen subject matter.

I continued driving, knowing in my heart that they heard. And, if they put just a tiny piece of that thought into practice, they will be proud of their differences and who they are.

And that is life is all about ...
