Stop Working, Start Living

I am defining the meaning of "Doing it All" lately and went completely MIA from this page... my apologizes. I have gladly throwing myself into a new business and decided to go 'balls to the walls,' because I can't wait to get to the top so that I can enjoy the freedom of not stressing. Not stressing, is that possible? It is... I've constantly worried about what I am going to do when both boys are in school, contributing in some way financially to the household, and most importantly wondering how I will buy all the shoes and purses I have dreamt of!? I worry no more...

Basically, when I was getting my tattoo done back in February and my artist was telling me about her new business, It Works, and I really thought it had nothing to do with myself and focused on the pain rather than what she was telling me...

I should've listened a little closer, but thank God she decided to email me a few months later and give me some more information on this amazing company and the opportunities that were available (bonuses, monthly pay check, cash, etc)

I had prayed months before that the Gods would send me a happy future where I was working in health/wellness/beauty and that I would make a satisfactory income and be able to stay at, or close to home. These prayers and thoughts began when someone presented another comany to me that wasn't based on anything I was passionate about, or truly cared for. I wanted their drive, but not for that product... I wasn't even sure if I wanted anything to do with network marketing, pyramid schemes, and never thought I'd find something that was completely done out of my home.

I read her email a few times, mentioned it to my husband and figured I'd lose my interest within a few days anyway. Unlike with the previous opportunity presented to me, I couldn't get this one out of me head... I woke up thinking about it, I dreamt about it, and I saw people on FB saying their lives were changing!? Now I was hooked...

After going to the company's website, I researched for hours and found myself engulfed with the stories, testimonies and idea of sharing these products. That's right, I wanted to share these wraps, defining gel, greens, etc NOT sell them. I knew so many people that could benefit from what It Works offered and that if I didn't jump aboard now, I was an idiot.

So, all in that same month I turned 30, went to Las Vegas, and made a life changing decision after I realized that I wasn't gong to shake the thought of being a 'Wrap Girl' I signed up as a distributor and haven't looked back! The investment alone was the cost of making a purchase anyway... just $99 and it was returned when I sold the 4 wraps that I received in my starter it. 

The greatest benefit of signing up with It Works Global, has not been the investment return, or the quick "wrap cash." It has been the solid relationships I have already built, the mentors that have stepped up to show me the 'Steps to Success,' and the 'One Team One Mission' attitude that everyone carries. We are all ready to take ourselves to the top and we are only just beginning so the support is undeniable, the ability to grow and make yourself one of the top income earners is not impossible, it's actually very doable!

The time is NOW as the company is continuing their offering of the $10,000 G.O.O.D Bonus, and at the beginning of August 2014 implemented the $20,000 Too G.O.O.D Bonus. What are these!? Get Out Of Debt!!

If you achieve Diamond level in the first 90 days on board with It Works, you will be rewarded a $10,000 bonus! This is happening several times a month and people are blowing it out of the water!

It gets even better with the Too G.O.O.D Bonus, because they are not giving just one distributor this bonus, but they will be drawing the names of 20 distributors that qualify themselves, and they can qualify multiple times!! The most entries currently by one distributor is 4, which means if they her name 4 she will have $80,000 to help pay off her debts! On top of her average income...

So what are you waiting for...? I'm ready to take you on, have you on my team, help you work and make your dreams come true! Make the dreams a reality by putting the fears aside, set your eyes on the prize and get ready to change your life and those around you!

"The power of one affirmative thought is hundreds of times more powerful than a negative thought."

The power of the energy that you put out is so much greater than you give it credit for. You choose your destiny when you wake up and allow the unhappiness to take over and the rest of your day becomes consumed with negativity. You must shift your thoughts into the things that you want and see them happening before your very eyes. Before it even exists, you must live it.

Freed of the Burden

I think way too much and write way too little. I’m overly concerned with how what I write will affect those around me, and the truth is that I shouldn’t care because no one has ever thrived when they held themselves back for others… and the reality is that there are less than a handful of people that would cross an ocean for me and from what I can tell, about the same would jump a puddle…. So who am I doing favors for?

I’m not sure what is sadder, the fact that I think so much about these things, or that I’m actually admitting it. I just turned 30 a week ago and instead of investing myself in the greater things of life I am focusing on what I don’t currently have and asking myself the ultimate question…. Do I really give a flying shit???  And clearly, yes, yes I do.

Let’s make one thing clear I’m not a depressed maniac that is unaware of the good that surrounds her. I wake up to two of the most amazing little boys the world has to offer, I get to work at my leisure, and most importantly I have my health. I wouldn’t have all this without my partner in crime and the father of my babies and I and thankful for that every day.  All of these great things don’t change the fact that I’m a woman, I am alone with 2 little people all day and my job is to care for those that I love the most (this is exhausting)

Since I was let go from my awesome job as a credit card collector over 3yrs ago I have returned to serving tables a few times (purely for the adult interaction) and only found myself giving up quickly on that idea due to the lack of interest from my co-workers as well as the environment. Let’s be real, pretty much any restaurant you work in, office, etc. becomes its own high school, complete with mean girls, mascots and principals. You’re stuck up one person’s ass for the sake of your job while wishing you could shove your foot up another’s all while promoting something you really don’t care about in hopes that it will lead me to something better. The only thing better turned out to be quitting.

So again, here I am, thirty years old, married, 2 babies, starting a new career (more later) and considering counseling not only for the sake of her marriage, and sanity, but because it’s probably the closest friend I could have and although I’m paying her to listen to my problems, I’d rather pay someone to hear my bullshit than burden anyone else. I know the people in my life that are willing to hear it, but again, burdening them with the thoughts that I consume myself with never seems to present itself, or the friends aren’t present.

When I was growing up I always had friends, a best friend and although they didn’t all last and some lasted much longer than I ever would’ve imagined, I’ve never had friends like I did when I was young. The kind of friends that you could call and cry to without conditions, trust that your secrets were safe with them when the phone hung up and not feel guilty that you just wasted hours of their Friday night. Each time I think I meet someone worth investing my time and making that kind of friend I get a slap in the face and reminded that I care too much.

If I had known I’d grow into a woman that felt this way I would have wasted less time on the people that I would later forget and spend more time with those that I was going to lose too soon. I never would have joined Facebook or Myspace because it would later cause me to over think friendships, people and life in general; as well it has become a false sense of friendship that created this insecurity. I would know the difference between a real friend and one that was going to come and go at their convenience. I would stop trying to be friends with those that are not willing to return the effort and focus all that energy on the ones that are. If maybe I had done all this I would already have those friends I’m searching for. 

What exactly is my point you are wondering and what the fuck am I searching for? My issues are bleak compared to others out there that are battling disease, loss, and actual battles. Am I supposed to constantly wake up and compare myself to others to justify or not justify my happiness and concerns? I think the books I’ve read lately and my aging has drawn me to this conspiracy of ‘I have no friends’ and life outside the home means nothing. Or is it at I am afraid that if I woke up one morning and turned off the social sites that consume our lives that my greatest fear would come true, I have No friends…

It is here that the switch goes on and I realize those that I have been so concerned with that live near are not friends I want at all. They don’t take the effort to know me and it’s because they don’t do this that I have to stop giving two shits… They are merely the people that will write on my wall when my birthday rolls around, when I die, or when I post something controversial that opens the platform to have their say and leave. They are cowards that are afraid of letting someone in and admitting that life is not as it appears on our computer screens, but that we are all struggling and suffering in some way and need each other, but lack of authenticity means that we aren’t capable of handling this. To be real, it’s too much.

So this is my release of the ever long battle of my twenties and question of, where have all the ‘real friends’ gone?? I am done asking this question because the truth is that all the real friends I ever had have not gone anywhere. Moved to other states began new jobs, lives and made new friends, yes, but they had not left me intentionally alone and forgotten our friendship. The strongest bonds and people I have in my life are at the greatest distances and forcing me to maintain friendships the way I wish they were, ‘old-school,’ via phone calls, emails and visits, we cross oceans for each other.
