Before I tell you about our wonderful opportunity, I would like to tell you a little bit about myself because I'm pretty sure that my "WHY" is probably not too much different from yours.

I am a former teacher. I taught middle school in the public school system for 12 years right out of college. I got married and had three kids all while continuing to work.

It wasn't easy to stand in front of a class of 8th graders and teach while dealing with morning sickness or wondering how my kids were doing with Dad at home. Luckily for us, my husband was able to be a stay at home dad.

(Read his funny story)

But...my heart wasn't into it. I WANTED TO BE A WORK AT HOME MOM! The window of time is so short and I knew I would never get this time back.

I eventually quit my job and our family moved to Southern California. My husband got a great job but it required that he work a lot of hours. Because we were in a new city where I didn't know anyone and I was a stay at home mom for the first time, I needed something to do where I could earn money, have fun and meet people all at the same time.

Everyone said I should get a job but I was not willing to get a job outside the home. I wanted to be a work at home mom. I brainstormed so many options but none of them fit ME.

I knew that the internet was where the money was but didn't know how to tap that amazing resource.

I really love candles so I went searching for a candle company that offered highly scented candles that smelled great, burned without all the black mess and had huge income potential.

I found that company and I couldn't stop reading about it and I spent hours going over my soon-to-be sponsor's website. I was hooked! I signed up for her newsletter and entered her candle drawing. The next day I signed up to become a distributor.

Because of the power of the internet, I am able to reach other people just like me from all over North America.

I enjoy training and helping people to be successful in this business. We no longer live in Southern California because we were able to move to the place of my birth - Bozeman, Montana and live closer to my family for 3 years. It was an amazing experience and I treasured each moment. I was able to build up a team of hundreds of distributors in Montana.

We recently moved back to Oregon to our house and property here in Gresham, OR. I am so excited to introduce the gourmet candles and business opportunity to the wonderful people of the Northwest.

Awards that I have received in my company are 2006 Rising Star, 2006 Team Player of the Year, Diamond and 10K Diamond Distributor. I am also on the company's leadership committee.
