<strong>TAKE</strong> <strong>CONTROL</strong><br />
OF YOUR LIFE<br />
I have worked the last 20 years in the hospitality, restaurant and food<br />
service industry wearing many hats — hostess, waitress, bartender,<br />
manager and even caterer. I worked when they told me to, on nights,<br />
weekends and holidays. I did not have any job security, retirement<br />
plan or health benefits. So when I cut off the tip of my finger on my<br />
right hand closing someone else’s restaurant late one night, I realized<br />
it was time to take control of my life.<br />
My <strong>Arbonne</strong> journey began in 2002, thanks to my incredible mother.<br />
We knew from her long corporate career and my line of work that we<br />
did not control our lives and prosperity — other people did. We were<br />
so impressed after attending an overview of this product-driven company<br />
and cutting-edge information and technology, that we registered<br />
immediately and began living a pure, safe, beneficial lifestyle. Even<br />
though I wanted to spread the good word about Prolief Natural<br />
Balancing Cream, the timing was not right and I allowed my job to be<br />
my excuse for not getting started.<br />
In mid-2005 my friend, Glorianna Peale, called to advise me of a<br />
“new approach” to doing the business — the <strong>Arbonne</strong>=REsults <br />
Presentation. I listened intently over lunch and gladly carried out the<br />
gold sample bag she gave me to try. I ran to the car to insert the CD I<br />
promised I would play going home. When I heard its contents, I knew<br />
right then and there that the universe was giving me the courage and<br />
confidence to take control of my precious life. I then decided to share<br />
the gift of <strong>Arbonne</strong> with others and help them achieve success and<br />
happiness, too.<br />

Things went slowly at first, since I was in physical therapy for two<br />
months learning how to primarily use my left hand. Then, the hurricane<br />
season of 2005 hit us hard and my telephone and computer were<br />
inoperable. I attended every training and meeting I could get to and<br />
dragged along as many friends as I could. I studied the network marketing<br />
industry and read the motivational books recommended by my<br />
upline. My indelible role models guided and trained me to follow the<br />
system — work on myself and lead by example.<br />
I attended NTC 2006 St. Louis with a special team member, Lauren<br />
Arthur. We got so pumped up that when we got home after the conference,<br />
we took on President Rita Davenport’s challenge, and worked<br />

hard on our numbers so I could attend my next NTC as a Regional Vice<br />
President. My award-winning team blessed me with this accomplishment<br />
10 months later.<br />
I have been blessed to be in one of our company’s greatest Nations —<br />
that of my sponsor and friend, Susan Hutton. My thanks to her, my<br />
crossline and <strong>Arbonne</strong> family is so huge that I cannot possibly thank<br />
each one of you for all of your love, guidance and support.<br />
Dream big and become a dream weaver. Press on toward abundance.<br />
Invest in the journey. Follow the leaders and do not ever give up! Help<br />
people achieve freedom and show them how to be winners in life.<br />
Remember that motivation comes mainly from people, but inspiration<br />
comes from God, the dream giver!<br />
To my husband, Don: Thank you for being my soul mate, life partner<br />
and biggest cheerleader. I love you for believing in me and making me<br />
want to live life to the fullest. You are one of life’s treasures here on<br />
earth and I love you so very much.<br />
To my mother: Thank you for introducing this awesome company to<br />
me and teaching me that anything worth having is worth hard work.<br />
To my stepfather: Thank you for telling me to always be a leader and<br />
not a follower.<br />
To my dad: Thanks for being so involved in our community. You are a<br />
great role model.<br />
To my stepmom: Thanks for your happy smile and warm heart.<br />
To ENVP Susan Hutton: Thank you is just not enough. The dictionary<br />
needs another word for gratitude. You will always be in my heart<br />
and prayers.<br />
To my award-winning team: This never would have been possible without<br />
all of your hard work, commitment, belief and enthusiasm. I thank<br />
each and every one of you.<br />
