Self Reliance -at Last!!
November 16, 2009 by Karen
I long to be self-reliant; to stand on my own two feet again. 
It has been difficult relying on so many amazing people just to make ends meet. Disability hardly covers the rent, much less all the other expenses that come with this ride. Not to mention creating joyful memories with my daughter! I have longed for a way to bring in some income for myself. But there is just no way I can hold down a “regular” job with my ups and downs.
Not that I have ever been a “regular” kind of girl… I’ve been a actress, a part-time teacher, a waiter, a bartender. I’ve had every kind of odd job imaginable! Including some MLM…
For several months now I have been investigating home-based businesses that were NOT multi-level marketing. Something I could work on no matter how I am feeling and create some sort of income stream for me and my daughter.
At last I found one that I believe in and that works with my inconsistent energy! It is Melaleuca- a green wellness company with over 25 years of success. And the way the business works is just different than anything I’ve come across!
They offer chemical free cleaning products, bath and beauty and a small line of nutritional supplements that are unbelievable.The way it works is simple. You join like you would Costco or Sam’s club- but instead of paying $45 or more a year, you pay just $30 one time (actually for another week the cost to enroll is only a buck!) and you get all the products at wholesale prices! Their products are wonderful. Even the cleaning products are so “clean” they don’t need child caps or poison labels!
Anyway, I am not here to “sell”- I am just so excited to share my new discovery and my commitment to get back on my own two feet!
If you want to know more, you can visit the business website they gave me and I would be happy to tell you more about it. They have an informational webcast that you can view online that explains the details.
Just go to my new business website and submit a request for additional information and I will set you up to check out the Wellness overview. The site is www.WDT-ReachForTheJoy.com
Suze Orman was the keynote speaker at this company’s recent conference. She said “I check out every company thoroughly before I agree to speak for them. There are two kinds of companies that I will not speak for if my life depended on it: brokerage firms and multilevel marketing companies. I’m so glad that Melaleuca is neither one of those so I can be here with you today.”
If you are thinking about saving money, going green or even jumping on the bandwagon to make a bit of extra cash, let me know. I could use the practice sharing info about the company. And you never know, you may enjoy yourself!! 
Jumping for JOY!!!

Me with my beautiful cousins, Rainbow, Tina & Bobbi
Healing well after a relaxing week of ice packs and sleep. I am amazed by how easy the whole thing was, really.
Next step, a visit to Dr. J, my neurologist in a few weeks. He will do a follow-up MRI in about 3 months.
The radiation actually takes that long to dissolve the tumors. And absolutely no damage to the surrounding area. Astonishing!
I was visited by a handful of my cousins and girlfriends for a girls-night-in this weekend. We laughed a lot! (mostly over the funny things our kids say…) I am so grateful for the love that surrounds me constantly!
I am grateful that I am dealing with this in the 21st century!
Embrace every moment… this is the only one any of us has.
Love and JOY~
