What Do You Do?

One activity I greatly enjoy is meeting new people; I consider this a blessing, because

I can learn about their family, church, work place, and dreams.  I enjoy

sharing ideas and philosophies.  Many times, my new friends ask me about myself

and what I am doing with my life.  I am always excited to say that I am blessed with a

wonderful husband and three great kids that occupy most of my time.  However, in

between taking care of my family, I work on my fortune!

     I loved being a full time mother and home educator for 19 years.  Toward the

end of my home education experience, I decided to work outside the home to help

with college education for my oldest daughter.  “Are you working again today, Mom?”

asked my youngest daughter.  “Oh, you won’t be home tonight?” asked my oldest

daughter. 

     “Not again.  I have to cook!” my son said, venting his frustration.  Needless to say,

not being in control of my schedule was not working.  My family and I felt much

frustration until…..

     Years ago a great friend shared an awesome opportunity with my husband and myself! 

It has turned my life around.  We have saved thousands of dollars on everyday items my

family needs and we have earned thousands of dollars.  The savings alone has allowed

me to return to being a full time stay at home mom!  This company is also allowing me to

help my children with college tuition costs and replenish my husband’s retirement

account.  In fact, I am retiring my husband early! I can’t wait!

     The personal growth has been life changing.  Life, in general, pressed in on

me.  Worry, low self esteem, false guilt, and sadness had crept in over the years.  For the past three and a half years great authors such as Jim Rohn, Napoleon Hill, Joyce Myers, Andy Andrews, and Anthony Robbins have been my constant companions.  People at local, regional, and national meetings share their success and encourage me on my journey.  I listen to business and CDs everyday.  Today, I worry less and I recognize when I take on false guilt. I am confident in my abilities and I am happier.  This is priceless!  

     The personal growth did not stop with me; it is trickling on down to my

children.  I am able to encourage them to dream big and reach their goals.  It is such a

blessing to observe my daughter tell her friend, “Don’t say that!   That is ‘stinking

thinking’!”  It is a blessing to observe the personal growth in my children.

     My circle of friends is increasing.  I spend more time with friends who challenge me

and encourage me to be more.  I strongly desire to become more of the person that God has

made me to be!
