I began Network Marketing back in the day with a very well known company. My dream at that time was just to be debt free. Buy cars with cash! Go on vacations with cash! CASH! I wanted cash above & beyond my own needs so I could live instead of just  get up, go to work, come home, eat dinner, go to bed and do the same day after day after day for 30 years.

When I wanted a vacation, I worked every bit of overtime I could get to pay for it. Any extra money I got or had at the end of the month went toward credit card bills. I HATED debt and the chains it put around me.

And now I want to say that after college I married. And together we managed to get ourselves into a heap of debt . We argued about how much to pay on the bills. We were involved in Network Marketing, but while I love the process, he despised it. In this particular company, it is desirable for COUPLES to be working the business together. It required change of mindset. Working on the mind is often painful, especially for people with unresolved childhood issues.I tried to pick up the slack but could not. Eventually, we became inactive, only buying products which I still do to this day.

The things I learned in this business became a foundation for things I now do. I do not consider the time with this awesome company wasted. I greatly value the training I received, the life skills I learned, the people I met and most of all the passion this business gave me to accomplish my ever evolving dreams. I just didn't know how it would happen but somehow, I knew it would!

That day, when it became apparent that a brand new season was upon me, I dug into the Psalms of King David. I devoured & declared His word of hope and victory. As the years have flown by, I now see how this became a default setting for me when in the middle of a challenge. Turning to thankfulness and victory, speaking out those things that are not as though they were have so structured my life that today, I stand at the forefront of a huge vision.

So, yes, I'm a network marketer or affiliate marketer. As I review my life, I see that everyday has truly prepared me for this day! And though I have still a journey to go, I can say with passion,  that I have passed many tests, I have conquered  huge obstacles. Today in my morning quiet time, I read this:

Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And He chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful.  1 Corinthians 1:27 NLT

I believe in multiple streams of income. Back in the day you worked one network marketing business, or at least this was my impression.  Your business was THE one that was going to get you that thing, whatever it was you were calling down heaven & earth for. Today, is a new day with new tools and strategies. I believe Any business that you will work, will work for you!. If you have a dream that is bigger than yourself and you want it as bad as you want to breathe, you can sell stuff animal snot and make millions…because you just have to! The dream and the vision…that's what I had . Somehow…there had to be a way...http://bit.ly/16DdL8Z

Praise and thankfulness comes easily when things are going well. It is more natural, comfortable, normal. But as a young woman with my entire life ahead of me and losing the majority of what little sight I had, I dug deep to pull up a thankful heart. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 in the New Testament says In everything give thanks for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. Really? You're kidding right?

"The 1st Thing you should focus on:

Building an opt-in list of subscribers so you can have, 

and control, your own source of instant traffic!

need {and struggle with getting} “More Traffic”.

IMPORTANT... If they had started off building a ‘list’ from 

day 1, they could have targeted, “on demand” traffic that they 

can control (and tap into) anytime they want!

Failing to build a list, from the beginning, is one of 

the Biggest Regrets of most Internet marketers."

The survey showed that people believed that they 

It was summers end when it happened. I had just spent a very nice week of camping with my sister & parents before going back to college in Canada. I was physically packed & mentally ready to get going on the work again. I had only 2 years left with a goal to graduate with a degree as a church choir director. Honestly, I loved Bible school but wasn't sure just how I would ever direct a choir being that I couldn't see the music unless it was 4 inches from my face. I frequently mused about this but thought somehow it would all work out. And it did work out, just not the way I expected.

That last day, I noticed things did not look quite normal. Something was happening with the very little eyesight that I did have. As we traveled home, I noticed a  fog inching its way over my field of vision until I could no longer distinguish shapes, only blurred images. The ophthalmologist diagnosed a detached retina and soon, my mother and I were on our way to San Francisco to see a retina specialist.

Graham Cooke: Everything in your life right now is training. It doesn't matter whether your situation is good, bad or ugly. In one sense, it's irrelevant. It's all about you being equipped in every single situation that you face. You're learning how to receive under pressure, stand your ground and how to say "no" to the enemy and "yes" to God

I was 20, I was afraid, I was alone with my faith. The surgery took 9 hours. After a couple of days, the bubble they had placed in the back of my eye would be gone and then they would know, then I would know…. And so as I lay on my stomach I hoped & prayed for a miracle. 

. The point is, that no matter what happens in your life, if you have a dream you will find a way to challenge the circumstances that say you cannot do it, and you will show the world differently!  Please enjoy this picture when you click on the text!

How do you decide what to blog? How do give a title especially when blogging about yourself? I could have said I'M BLIND AND I'M AN ARTIST…Or I could have left out the blind part but then you'd miss the adventure of my life! Being blind is not who I am but it is a characteristic of my being that has shaped me to this day! Oh yes I am an artist too! I'll get to that part, I promise.

College, yes…After High School, I wanted to go to college to learn about the Bible. My parents, not being people of faith, were not thrilled but still they allowed me to go where I chose and that was to Canada to attend Canadian Bible College in Regina Sasketchewan. I thought I'd find a nice young man there, get married and feel secure that somebody loved me even though… well you know! II spent two wonderful growing years there and then it happened...

Wow! This is my very first blog of all time! I do have a story to tell…don't we all! Before I go deep, I'd like to give you a little background about me…the me that is definitely me! I'm unique…aren't we all! I was born in the 50s, the 4th of 5 children and the second daughter with Congenital Glaucoma. I was fortunate to be born to strong determined, educated parents. My father was a college graduate, a Navy Lieutenant and a rancher and my Mother a Registered Nurse and Lieutenant in the Women's Army Corp. Aside from medication training and school issues, they treated me no differently than my siblings and told me that I could be anything that I wanted to be.What I wanted to be was able to see like everybody else. I was always the different one; the girl with the thick glasses, the large heavy school books and the one who couldn't read the black board without walking right up to it! Yes, when I went to school, the white boards were black and we used that stuff called chalk! Well, I survived school in spite of the challenges with peers and self-image. I went on to college where I encountered my first life change…More later...
