The pages are still blank, but there is a miraculous feeling of the words being there, written in invisible ink and clamoring to become visible. ~Vladimir Nabakov

Gratitude Attitude

There is something so special and so sincere about someone showing you in the smallest simplest ways they love you and appreciate what you do, from friendship aspect as well as business associate working partnership.  Let's face it, we all work hard at no matter what we do... whatever our job is.  I for one LOVE LOVE love what I do, in every single way.

I'm so fortunate to be able to stay at home with my children, while doing art and photography.  In the month of February I also became an Arbonne Independent Consultant.   I LOVE what I do and I cannot say enough wonderful things about the business opportunity.

Today, I wanted to say thank you.  I thank the stars for my dear friend Robyn for entering my life so many wonderful years ago.  We have had many adventures together like publishing 4 children's stories through Volumes Publishing, where they can still be ordered.  For a little while we went onto exploring the world into different directions, yet the universe knows best when it sees two peas in a pod that seek the same goals and desire similar destinies.  It brought us back together onto a much more powerful and fulfilling path of knowledge, self exploration, helping others and seeking that freedom with financial independence.  We all do what we can for our loved ones and our family.

Our paths have intertwined once again and we became business associates in the early part of February.  She is my Arbonne mentor and a wonderful supportive leader.  I know all I can about Arbonne because of her.  She is amazing at what she does.  Her motivational skills are so gentle yet powerful.  As a matter of fact our entire Arbonne up-line is.  Who wouldn't want to be involved with movie stars and singers.  Camilla Scott and Amy Sky are both in our up-line and I'm one fortunate person to be part of socializing with them during special events.

Few months ago when I heard Robyn speak at one of the networking meetings I attend weekly, I was so impressed by her knowledge and professional way of handling situations and explaining her line of work.  Personally, it gave me a gentle push to explore more about Arbonne and I'm so glad I did.  What an amazing company to work with.  The products are vegan and botanical and there is something so special about the way all of this feels inside my soul.   I'm so happy I listen to that inner voice and took this leap of faith.  It was so worth it.

Thank you so much for this wonderful cute little gift you gave me the other day Robyn.  I know you see the absolute best in me and my deepest desires and wishes.  I promise, I won't let you down.  Thank you for believing in me, and thank you for being part of my life.

I love ya girl!!!  ♥

Today's Convers"ations"

Spent majority of my day sorting through bins and posting items on the Facebook group.  Loved it!

Made many moms happy scoring deals, gave few deals, made people smile, met people, cleaned out another bin of shoes, got organized... phew!  And not to mention made a few bucks.  Yay!

I think one of the best part of my day was able to recall all those amazing memories with my kids - reflecting those shoes they wore at a certain time and events from and it was fabulous.  Then I found the gem of the pile.  I had so much fun with these little size 4 darlings.  Tears!!!  Yes, so much fun & so many memories today.

There is something about this shoe that makes my "sole" wanna dance!  Let's boogie!

I sat at your grave today....


I sat at your grave today
Kneeled and prayed
And for a short while I stayed
Whispered gently your good name
Into the wind I saw it carried away
Did you hear my heart quiver?

What are the scars that remain
In those tears that come so often?
Grand babies want to hug you
Watch you smile as you sing
Oh won’t you please tap your wing
Upon my shoulders?

Our home misses you
I’ve not felt pain like this before
For the melody you left behind
Keeps on playing in the rooms
Of quiet still hours
Etched into the walls
Only I can hear

I miss you
Don’t you know?
I did not want to leave
Left more then prayers at your grave today
More of my soul then ever before
And much more then a tear

My heart

Spring is in the air

We are having record breaking temperatures and March is far from over.  Hey, but who is complaining?  I know that I sure am enjoying the early spring and nature at it's rebirth. Snapped a handful of photos on my spring adventure the other day.

Thank you mom

I love my mom.  She is my greatest cheerleader when it comes to anything to do with my life, goals, achievements, new endeavors, etc.  This is a macro shot of a tulip from the bunch she brought me for my very first "home" Arbonne launch.  

Thank you mom, you're the best. 

Love,
Janette

A lovely lady

Thank you.  It is such an honour to be thought of and my work appreciated.  This lady who lives way across the ocean and on another continent entirely took the time to get to know me through our on-line communications and then took it upon herself to write about me in her blog called A Portuguese Love.  I have no words.  She is wonderfully thoughtful to bring me a little exposure to my on-line Zazzle store and mentioning me in her writings.

I find it so amazing that those who do care, are compassionate & unselfish are humans who make a difference in terms of helping and contributing to the wonderful branches of the tree of life.  We are all here to learn from each other and help each other on this life journey.  Thank you so much Belinha.  You are such a lovely lady and you have wonderful and generous giving heart.

Much thanks,
Janette
