Oscars and Arbonne...a perfect weekend

Although my Oscar party was smaller this year than it has been the past couple of years, it was very nice and relaxing in that I actually got to sit down and watch the arrivals and enjoy myself. We had lots of yummy food. Thank you to everyone who brought stuff. It was much appreciated! As for the awards, I was so excited that The Departed and Martin Scorsese won. My big upset was that Pan's Labyrinth did not win best foreign language film, but I guess I should be happy with its other 3 wins. Overall, the show was fun and entertaining, minus the two times we had a power outtage. Can you believe that? The one day I look forward to vegging in front of the tv all day and the power goes out twice. I guess that's a sign that I should stop watching so much tv.

Another story I'd like to share with you is I went to an Arbonne training in Arizona on Saturday. Kristi, Sara, and I drove to Phoenix on Fri and came back after the training on Sat, so it did make for a long two days, but it was TOTALLY worth it. The training was awesome! I love working with Arbonne, truly an amazing company. The registration fee for the training went directly to the Sojourner Center. Our president Rita Davenport has raised over a million dollars for the Sojourner Center, which helps victims of domestic violence get a new start on life. Because of all of Rita's hard work and dedication to raising money for the Center, they are going to dedicate a section of the new apartment complex they are building to Arbonne. I am so proud to work for such a giving company.

As for the training, we heard from 8 of the top National Vice Presidents who all have amazing stories to tell. It re-affirms my belief that if I dedicate myself to building my Arbonne business for the next 5 years, I too can build a life for myself and my family that I would never have imagined. All I have to find are people who want to change their lives by sharing this incredible business opportunity, not always an easy feat but one I have faith in because this business is truly the way to gain financial freedom and security. After teaching for 6 years and being a slave to time and those in charge of my life, I now know what it feels like to have my life back, to be able to do what I want when I want, and to be able to share this gift with others is an honor. I'm telling you you have to read Why We Want You to be Rich by Trump and Kiyosaki. It will scare you and motivate you to change your life now. I'm so grateful for Arbonne and how I can use it to enrich my life. The training motivated me and I've got that fire under me to get parties booked and to talk to everyone about Arbonne, especially now that I've got a baby on the way. I never want to have someone else raise my kids while I'm working a job that does not value me and instead only sees me as an expense. I want to be financially secure so that money is not something to stress over. I want to own my own time and not be a slave to a timeclock. I want to know I can change a family's lives for the better. These are thoughts I could have never imagined if it weren't for Arbonne. Thank you to everyone who has supported me so far with my business. I can't wait to invite you all to my car presentation one day. It's going to be awesome!!!! Gotta go start booking some parties. Talk to you all soon!
