Good, But Not Great

Image
You know there's a lot of things that I'm good at, but not any one thing that I'm really great at.... Back in 2012, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that is cancerous - for which there is no cure. Since then, I often find myself thinking about the meaning of my life.....  "What do I love, and what would I like to accomplish in my life......?" That's a hard question....  I love to sing... and would love to sing lead or background in a band. But how in the world do you get discovered.... I actually auditioned for a small group in 2015, and was given the gig, but they were located a few hours away and I would have been away from my kids and hubby 3-4 days a week.... I just can't do that right now, my family is too important.  I love plants and nature. I love making flower arrangements. (I have even though of opening my own florist shop...), but we live in the boonies and I would hate the tied down feeling of running a stor

Getting Healthy - Part 1

Image
It's no secret that I have struggled with my weight most of my life. I remember after getting my 8/9 yr old pictures taken - I was handing them out to my friends and I remember feeling ashamed that I was 'fat'. It was the first time I realized that I didn't have a waist... of course it didn't help that my best friend Carla, was beautiful, thin, and all the guys liked her! As a teen, I wasn't huge, but I wore a size 10/12 (the same as my aunt) all through my teens. I weighed around 125#. The time I weighed the least was when I was 17 years old and two months pregnant with baby #1, (morning sickness and plain poverty does that to you) I weighed 110# and fit into a size 6. *Note: I am 5ft. 1in. tall. After baby #1 was born, I kept gaining weight until I was at 160# (size 14) despite the fact that I walked everywhere I went and ate very little. Three years later, I was seeing a dietitian and was back down to 129# and a size 10. I gradually started

Why I Don't Sell....

Image
"I don't sell product - I share an opportunity. An opportunity to change ones life - to become healthier, to become wealthier, and to become a better person." -Rhoda Kindred I am not a salesman - I'm not really that fond of them to be honest. I find most salesmen to be pushy. Even after you say no - they continue to push, and push, never knowing when to stop. I enjoy sharing Shaklee with people. I can ask someone if they'd be interested in taking a look at what I have to offer.  If they say "yes", I'm excited because that person is choosing to be open to an opportunity.  If they say "no", I'm okay with that. I am sad that they are shutting the door on something that could change their life for the better, but I respect them for not wasting my time. It's the people that say maybe.... not now, or in six months. Then in another six months, they say maybe next year... Those people are the hardest to share with beca

How To Turn An Old Chicken Coop Into A She Shed

Image
We moved the chickens to the barn and turned an old chicken coop into a  'She Shed '. Our oldest daughter, Faith (15 yrs.) shares a small bedroom with her 6 yr. old little sister. There's not a lot of room, and with their nine year age difference, they don't have a lot in common. So, I thought we'd make a 'She Shed' for Faith to use as her own art studio... a place to get away, a place to relax, a place to breath. We took out the nest boxes, roosts, and all things chicken related, gave the whole thing a good scrub with Shaklee Basic H2 and Basic G to disinfect it , and let it dry. Then we mixed up  The Prairie Homestead's Whitewash  (we added 1 bottle of purple rite dye to tint it), and the kids and I got busy painting it on. We didn't quite have enough to do the floor, so left it original. I was planning on painting it white, but never got that done. (story of my life...)     It really brightened up the inside. After the

Things to Say on a Job Interview

Image
        I went on an interview for a job and when the boss asked what I wanted for compensation I replied: 1. First, I would like a generous commission on everything I sell with no limitations on my income. 2. I want to be paid a residual income, forever. 3. I want the ability to earn all-expense paid trips for a job well done, not just the vacation TIME, but the whole vacation! 4. I would also like the opportunity to purchase my own products at a discount . 5. I expect you to provide me with the very best support, graphics, training and resources to grow my business. 6. When I bring in and train any new team members, I deserve to be compensated PLUS earn a percentage of their purchases and the purchases of the people they bring in and train. 7. I would like the opportunity to rapidly advance within the company. 8. When I do well, I expect LOTS of praise, recognition and gifts! 9. I would like my friends and family to work here too. 10. By the way, I need to set my o

Earth Day

Happy Earth Day! Our family tries our best to reduce, reuse, and recycle, not just on Earth Day, But Every Day! I believe we should take care of this beautiful earth God has given us to enjoy! Here are some ways to Go Green this Earth Day! This past week we have been busy planting trees.....  One way that our family helps the earth is by using Shaklee products.  In the 1960's   Shaklee introduced Basic-H ®  Concentrated Organic Cleaner, one of the first nontoxic, biodegradable cleaners In 1990 Shaklee’s nontoxic and biodegradable Basic-H® was chosen as one of the first official Earth Day products.  In 2000 Shaklee became the first company in the world to obtain Climate Neutral™ certification and totally offset its CO2 emissions. Please visit the following link to see more of Shaklee's Environmental Achievements ! Two Earth Day products I highly recommend are: The Get Clean Kit Shaklee's Get Clean Kit is natural, nontoxic an

How to Review a Product Company

Image
Any one can find a bad review on any company. My husband always says about reviews... "If you are looking for bad reviews, you'll find them. If your looking for good ones, you'll find them too." He has an extremely good point. People that write reviews all have their own opinions and some even have a hidden agenda - for example, instead of contacting customer service, they'd rather write a review and drag the company through the mud, without giving the company a chance to right the wrong. So here's what you need to know when it comes to reviews. There's going to be good ones and bad ones..... that's not the point. When reviewing a product company, look for the scientific research, the published health journals, the studies. Look to see if the company is owned or partly owned by a doctor, the scientist or the research company. Do they benefit by giving the company a good review? Look for outside studies. The other thing I would like to make
