This theme has plagued me for as long as I can remember. I think it even goes back to when I was a little girl and I quit karate class as a kindergartner. I remember wanting to do karate so my mom let me join and then I got into and it was too hard so I quit. This was a bad mistake that has haunted me as I always want to do something and then when I get into it, if it gets too hard I quit. Thus I start a lot of things and don't finish them and then am filled with regrets. NO MORE!!! I swear that the Nike shoe company has the world's BEST slogan ~ Just Do It!!!. Its so simple and yet there's so many of us who find excuses for why we can't, or don't want to or don't have the time or don't make the time or whatever it is. I'm finding that the saying Ready, Aim, Fire is me except I don't ever fire. I get ready, get everything prepared, I aim and make sure everything is perfect but then I never Fire. I'm tired of starting the vehicle and then never driving anywhere (metaphorically speaking). I know what needs to be done in my business in order to get me where I want to be, yet after 3 years I've been sitting on the sidelines watching everyone else earn amazing trips, earn income that would INCREDIBLY help anyone's finances and I’ve been "playing" Arbonne. I have a burning desire in my soul to help people and do something great. My passion is orphans (I will talk about this in a later blog) and I know that with Arbonne as my vehicle, I can help with the orphan need my soul wants to fill. I can help people with their internal and external wants and needs, help with their finances, help people connect and get relationships that they long for. Help them earn trips or jewelry or fabulous prizes. Maybe you are a stay at home mom or dad who longs for adult interaction. Maybe you could really use an extra $500/month. Maybe you get vacation with your "J-O-B" but you never have the money to travel. Maybe you've longed for a new vehicle to drive. Maybe there's something about your appearance you'd like help with. Aging skin? Fine lines? Rough skin? Sagging skin? Dark circles or puffy eyes? Damaged skin? Dull skin? Large pores? Ingrown hairs? Stressed skin? Uneven pigmentation? Freckles? Skin Discoloration? Oily skin? Oily to Dry combination skin? Shiny skin? Redness on the face? Rough hands? Rough cracked feet? Lack-luster, dull, tangled or dry hair? Sun damaged skin? Do you tan in a bed or sun bathe? Chapped, dry or cracked lips? Blackheads or whiteheads? Unhealthy skin? Delicate skin? Itchy skin? Do your babies have sore, dry, or chapped skin from diaper rash? Do you have: blotchy complexion? Dry scalp? Hair loss? Eyelash issues? Allergies to products on the traditional store shelves? Need or want more energy? Want to lose weight or manage your weight? Do you have digestion issues? Joint issues? Heart issues? Memory loss? Hormone issues? Menopause issues? Toxins on the skin or in the body?  Clogged pores? Blemishes? Has your hair been exposed to environmental toxins and harsh climates? Are you uptight? Tired? Do you wish for less wrinkles? Acne? Sun spots? Scars? Rosacea?  I would love to help you or someone you know with any of these issues.

No more quitting things. I quit college because I had a different image of what it was and when it didn't fit that, I dropped it like a bad habit and I quit my marriage after almost 9 years married, 10 years together. I don't like being known as a "quitter", as someone who just sticks with something because its convenient or easy. I made the DECISION and am taking the Arbonne gift I've so graciously been given and I am running with it and telling the whole world about our vegan botanical products that produce amazing results, our fun educational workshops and our 2nd-to-none world class business opportunity.

A favorite quote of mine says, "The world steps aside for those who know where they are going." Step aside world because THIS girl FINALLY knows what she WANTS and I'm going after it with every fiber of my being. The word QUIT is no longer in this vocabulary or this mind after this blog. I AM going back to college.....I'm going to Arbonne University where I will learn, grow, change and transform into the beautiful person God created me to be and I will help anyone do the same. Anyone who wants to come with me and join me on this amazing journey is invited so take my hand and lets change lives. And when you ask me what do I do? Be prepared for my answer: I work for an International Swiss company and I help people with their internal and external wants and needs with fabulous vegan and botanical 24 hour anti-aging products!!!

**SHE BELIEVED SHE COULD.....SO SHE DID**

What dreams do YOU have? What more do you want out of life? What actions do you need to do to get there? First step is sit down, picture what you've always wanted and figure out what your dream is. Write it down, cut out pictures and paste them to a paper so you can see them every day. This is the HARDEST step (believe me, I know...it took me 10 years to finally make a dream board!)
JUST DO IT ALREADY ;-)

I am going to bury the word "TRY". JUST DO IT ALREADY~dont try. Would you like an anesthesiologist to say to you just before he/she puts you out before your surgery "Im gonna TRY to get you to wake up after the surgery, but, Im kind of tired and its been a rough day, Ill do the best I can ok? Would you say OK or find another Doctor?? Dont say TRY!! JUST DO IT ALREADY :-)

Every day is a CHOICE......

Its important and appropriate that my first blog be about THANKS. First thank you God for everything and for having a greater plan for me in mind than I could ever dream up myself. I'm thankful for the blessings and the lessons I've learned and am continuing to learn, for the moments I get humbled, for the trouble, for the heartache and pain in my way (and I thought I couldn't go on many times).  Thank you my family, who kept me when I was born (more about this in a later blog), who have always been here for me in different capacities throughout my life. Thank you my amazing, handsome, smart not so little boy who still holds my hand, lets me kiss him and is so forgiving of me and my mistakes~ I love you more than anything in this life. Thank you my soul mate and best friend for supporting me, lifting me up, encouraging me, believing in me and helping me get it done~I so love you and wouldn't want to go anywhere without you beside me. Thank you my friends who are the MOST amazing friends anyone could ever have asked for....even if wishes were granted from a genie or you could create your own friends, you are all the best and I love you MORE!  Thank you Arbonne for the opportunity to look amazing, the opportunity to change my life, the opportunity to be recognized for accomplishments, the opportunity to be supported by everyone around me~leaders AND peers, the opportunity to have fun, and the opportunity to shine. And thank you to everyone in my past for you all make up who I am today and everyone to come in my future.
