Why I don’t do MLM

Do you wanna be the “big dawg” in your market? Are your dreams  just a “big fish” away? Are you always looking for the next big deal? NO?!? How would you like be be part of a REAL company that: gives preferred customers a 30%-50% discount off the market value same dollars, better spent better, safer products no risk- 100% satisfaction guarantee a business built by customers that love our products freedom to live your life on your own terms you don’t carry inventory you are not a distributor no billings or collections you don’t take orders or deliver personal development relationships and team building travel opportunities It sounds too good to be true, right? Well it is good and it is true. It does takes work, but “work, works.” I always believed that hard work and opportunity is the key to success. I am so happy to work with a company where no one gets hurt, and lets me sleep very well at night.

My soul wants more

My friend Tamra has really got me thinking. I have been following her for the past couple of years. I would of never thought she was insecure in high school because she seemed very confident. But now we find the truth with her. It has helped me find the truth within myself. Tamra has took a long 3 year road to health. She has worked hard and proven herself at 50 years old. She hasn’t had any surgery to enhance her looks. She transformed herself through hard work and dedication.  This is the same girl, she is stronger,  more confident and I have to say she has always been fabulous. But she also realizes this is a stepping stone onto whatever is next in her life. I had a mid line in my arm and my veins were not cooperating. Stuff could go in but nothing would come out. I was supposed to relax my veins? I felt like I was going to pass out, it was uncomfortable and people were getting stressed around me. In my mind I took myself to Tamra, on stage in a bikini, strong, graceful and I put myself next to her, modeling, smiling and

Come what may and love it

And now it is the waiting game… December 9 I will get a PET scan and December 10 I will visit with the Doctor. Then we will find out if I am cancer free. I am doing all I can do to be healthy this week. Feeling the effects of the RCHOP and looking forward to: health – It will be so exciting to climb “R” mountain and feel like a mountain goat. hair – I went to take my ponytail out of  my hat today, that was weird, I am ready to have hair on my head, eyelashes on my eyes, eyebrows and ok, I will have to shave my legs again. hunger – My stomach and taste buds are not the same,  I took a bite of a brownie last night and I couldn’t taste it. That was weird. hardy- I have always considered myself hardy and resilient. It is such a shock when I get into the car today after getting a few things done this morning and my heart was beating like I had done zumba extreme! My life is still good, Health– I made it this far! I still can function. I am healthy compared to so many. I took

Last chemo, time to celebrate, Lets dance!

We left at 4 am and here we are in the waiting room at Huntsmans. I was terrified of this day. By the grace of God and with the faith of my family and loved ones I made it through. At one point the pick team had the mid line in but the blood was not coming out. I was bleeding where the incision was but nothing would come out of the tube that was connected inside my vein. How do you relax your veins? My vein was closed up around the tube and nothing was coming out. We moved me around and sat me up, laid me down. After about a 1/2 hour I looked at Jim and said lets pray together. We each prayed with all our hearts, and the blood started to flow. What a tender mercy.  My aunt Doralee has been a great support and came and visited me many times while having chemo. She is the girl on the left, always happy and full of laugh’s. She brought chocolate and we celebrated with it! She was born on the same day and same state as Jim, so they are kinda twins!       I slept throughout

How can they be so happy?

Growing up I was neighbors to two older sisters who had never married, never had any children, and they were happy. I wondered how that could be? What could they be happy about?  They were both school teachers and were busy and full of laughter. Both sisters were very different. They took care of their aging parents with a smile on their face. They kept their yard and their parents yards spectacular. My question was this, “How could they be so happy, if their dreams of marrying and having a family never happened?” Over the years I have realized that we are not in charge of everything, but we are in charge of how we react to life. There are dark and dreary days for all of us. Life is hard… I can’t even imagine the heartaches of others in their trials. Yes, there is enough in life to drag you down to a very dark place, but I know people who, even when life isn’t going their way, focus on the wonders and miracles of life. God did not design us to be sad, angry, and frustrated. He knew we would be at times but he gave us the
