Who I Am
- The mother of Hazel and Heidi. They bring so much joy into my life. I LOVE being a mother (and I need a nap).
- The wife of a farmer (and nurse). When we started dating, I vowed to follow him anywhere. I now know that I was a bit naive... I once saw him run 50 miles before getting tired... I once backpacked into Wyoming's Wind River Range carrying rock climbing gears (due to altitude, hail, and my bad attitude, he had to find a new climbing partner in the wilderness), however life with his is an awesome adventure.
- A School Counselor. I love my career, but have found that I also NEED this outlet to explore my other interests.
- An active member of the Lutheran church.
- A THRIVE Life Consultant. The smartest career decision of my life. Wow, read more below:
How I Got Involved with THRIVE Life :: The Journey Begins!This past summer, I had quite a few worries about my family, our nutrition my time, our finances (among others... it was a tough summer). I took these concerns to the web and kept coming back to one particular website. Your Own Home Store simply spoke to me. It's written by a woman who puts her family first and that means providing healthy food & balanced meals all while running her own business.
That website is built around a particular brand of food and survival gear. Now, I consider myself kind of an expert on food and backpacking gear... I'm out right snobby. So, I simply read, clicked around, commented/questioned & considered it. OF COURSE, there is no one local who sells this product and I am way too practical/ skeptical to buy without first tasting, feeling and seeing. Finally, I contacted Misty (the woman who runs Your Own Home Store) and she generously sent me free samples! Long story short... my summer blew up on me (hubby mono, me mono, sick father, dying grandfather) and the box of samples sat unopened in my pantry. UNTIL life began to level out and we planned a camping trip with friends. "Hmm...", I thought... "camping would be the perfect time to try that freeze dried food!" Not-so-short-story continues: I cooked the food. The food critics I was camping with loved it. I came home and decided not to just BUY MORE FOOD, I decided to BECOME A CONSULTANT. No one is more surprised than me. I want everyone to save their money. I don't want you to go shopping or buy frills. I am not a natural sales woman. However... I DO want everyone to eat healthier. I want us to get balanced dinners on the table in 1/2 the time. I don't want us eating food that has been chemically enhanced to travel long distances. I don't want us throwing away a huge percentage of our fresh produce each week because it turned to slime. I don't want us to spend sleepless nights worrying that a storm is going to cut the electricity and we're going to loose all the food in their freezers (or was that just me during Hurricane Sandy's downpours and winds?). So...here I am. Here WE are! I'm just starting this journey and I will be sharing it with you. But you don't have to take my word for it: Yesterday, my first shipment of food arrived! I was SO excited! I didn't want to be interrupted, so I plopped Heidi into her high chair (with her coat still on!) and gave her a HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE. Then I began to open cans and taste. AFTER ONE BITE OF FREEZE DRIED BANANA SLICES, Heidi threw her cookie down and grabbed the can! "More crackers pees" said my little 19-month-old. TO SUM IT UP: Heidi preferred eating pure banana (with ALL the same nutrition as fresh) over a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie. If this sounds like an opportunity you to want to jump on, I'd love to have you join my team! I earned a fantasy get away to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico in my FIRST YEAR with Thrive. I don't work this business full-time, but when you sell something so FABULOUS, success comes rather easily! Read more about my trip on my personal blog HERE.
