The Mentoring Mom

Michael,  it is Wednesday, 10 September, Mental
Cleanse call day.  This morning I see clarity and feel
the difference from my usual diffused cluttered mind.

I’M PAYING ATTENTION TO MY ENERGY.

As usual, I went to the library with my laptop, got
away from my work environment and called into
the group.  I was listening to your introduction
Michael, and today your words REVERBERATED
inside of me.  I heard them many times before.

TODAY, I FELT THEM.

“DO NOT clutter your brain!”

“Linda and I are willing to GIVE YOU the MOST
PRECIOUS thing in life – OUR TIME!”

“DO NOT let ANYONE RENT SPACE IN YOUR
HEAD!  DO NOT GIVE AWAY YOUR POWER!”

“IN 3-4 YEARS YOU CAN OWN YOUR LIFE!”
At this point, I was feeling intense sadness
and joy at the same time.

“At night, when we go to bed, we are going to
END UP WITH THE TRUTH!  We might as well
START THE DAY WITH THE TRUTH!”

I was stunned with these words.  I repeated this
to myself that night.  So many things I’m not
doing, not completing, not committing to,
procrastinating.  I wake up, in the early hours
of the morning, with thoughts traveling across
my mind like clouds in the sky.

They HAUNT ME.  I feel sick to my stomach.
Deep down I feel what you have said – “IT IS
LATER THAN I THINK!!!”  I’M AFRAID.  I’M
AFRAID I’M NOT SPENDING MY PRECIOUS
TIME ON THE IMPORTANT THINGS IN MY
LIFE!!!

I have been domesticated to spend my days
doing everything but what is really important.
I live my life like grooves in a record playing
over and over again.  I HAVE TO WAKE UP,
USE MY INTENTION, SHIFT MY POINT OF
VIEW and CREATE NEW GROOVES IN MY
RECORD, IN MY LIFE.

I’M PAYING ATTENTION and I’M DECIDING
WHAT TO SPEND MY ENERGY ON.

I’m asking and saying to myself:  IS THIS
REALLY WHAT I WANT TO DO RIGHT NOW?
IS THIS IMPORTANT?  AM I HAVING FUN?
I’M HERE ON THIS EARTH TO ENJOY LIFE.

IF IM NOT HAVING FUN, I HAVE THE
CHOICE TO DECIDE, AND I HAVE THE
POWER TO CHANGE IT.

I thank all the amazing folks on the Mental
Cleanse, I feel your souls through your voices
on the phone, every time I connect.   I feel
the honesty and total trust to tell your stories.

I am blessed to have found the right
teachers at the right time in my life.

Chapter 8

Procrastination and analyses paralysys are caused
by our lack of ability to make a decision…..  We go
through this Mental Cleanse process to learn what
is stopping or holding us back.  Often times it is a
lengthy, scary journey.  It can be like going through
a tunnel, we go into the darkness but come out into
the light on the other side.

Hill tells us that we must make prompt decisions
and stick with them.  We must not waiver or be
influenced by others who have no interest in our
desires.  Thus, the importance of the Mastermind
Group.  By only revealing our decision to other like
minded individuals we are able to remain focused.

When others outside of the group, learn prematurely
of our decisions and desires they may attempt to
detour us and not understand when we remain
steadfast.

  I must reach my decision myself.  It must be my
own decision, and not someone else.  No one else
can do this for me. I must do it myself.  It is like a
chick hatching from the egg,,, or the butterfly from
it’s chrysalis..  If they are to survive, they must do
it for themselves.

Going through this process, I have learned how
powerful the influences of parents and society
are on a small child growing up.

These influences remain buried in our subconscious
all our lives, but unknown to us, influence us on a
daily basis.  But I have the power to change and
overcome these influences.  I have the ability to
make my own decisions.

Chapter 8 Decision:

OK, let’s take it from the top and review:

  I usually make decisions quickly, but I must
confess I have been influenced by  the opinions
of others and end up second guessing myself.

  When I was young I was consistently told I
should have done it this way or that way would
have been better and a voice inside of me would
say “I’m not good enough.”

I have battled this voice for long enough. No, I
will not reverse my decision to move forward
with my dreams no matter how old I am, or
how long it takes. This is a journey that I will
see through to the end.

  No, I have never lost out on an opportunity
because I “failed” to “make” a decision, I just
didn’t follow through with the decision that I
made.

 I let the opinions of others change my course
of action. I have made many decisions contrary
to the opinions and advice of others, but then
that voice came back to visit when things were
not going as I had hoped and then I seemed to
sabotage my progress.

So, who is the enemy here, a-ha, I think it is my
own self. I now understand why it is so important
to say my self talk and keep the voices of the
past and the opinions of others who, don’t have
what I want, blocked out of my head.

To do this I must stay close to fire and my master
mind group who will be in complete sympathy and
harmony with my purpose.

I am in the process of learning HOW to think and
not WHAT to think. Thank you Wendy Krick for
reminding me of this last week in your lesson.

I appreciate you and all of my master mind family.

 My husband keeps telling me,” as hard as you
work at this, you deserve success.” The decision
I have make today is to believe that I do deserve
success.

Thank you Michael and Linda for believing in me
while I learn to completely believe and love myself.

Chapter 8

Procrastination, I have dealt with it all my
life. I have always taken a little tooo long
to do what it is I had decided to do and
yes I changed the decision a lot.

Which left me worse off than when I first
made the decision. I have always relied
on the wrong people to help me in making
decisions.

I have taken opinions from those that have
wanted me to stay the “little girl” they have
always seen me as. I am always a step
behind them and they like it this way.

So I had to make a quick decision to
separate myself from these people. Was
this easy, NO. In doing so I slipped back
to procrastination.

Did I do the right thing for my kids, myself,
my husband? Slowly killing every dream
and goal I had set for myself. I was drowning
in self pity and honestly NOT liking the”me”
I was becoming.

I half heartely listened to these calls, and
actually fell asleep a few times during them.
Then, I made another quick decision to go
on a little trip to Texas.

I couldn’t think about it anymore! I had to
ACT! This was also in part because of
another little mastermind group within my
team of leaders who were “believing in me,
even though I wasn’t convinced to believe
in myself.”

So I went to Texas, met awesome leaders.
People of all walks of life, short, tall, red
headed, some wore glasses, some didn’t,
it didn’t matter what they looked like, they
were my family!

Not in the traditional sense, but family that
all wanted the same thing, SUCCESS!
Success for themselves, all those around
them, and for ME!

Do you know what it is like to be in a room
of amazing people,  who all have positive
energy flowing from them. Let me tell you,
amazing is not a good enough word.

I don’t think one has been made up for what
that feeling is like! What is amazing though,
is the fact that not only did I meet these
wonderful leaders face to face, but I now
almost everyday get to listen to them, and
I am soaking up every bit of advice they are
giving! I am positive, without one doubt that
I am  SUCCESSFUL,

I am achieving my dreams and goals. Did you
ever see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?

Maybe read the book? Do you remember at
the end when Charlie and Mr.Wonka rode the
elevator straight out of the building through
the glass roof?

Do you remember wondering if they would
make it? Then when they did the joy in your
heart? I do!! Let me tell you I have just broke
through the glass roof and I am flying high
above it all!

Wooo Hooo, what a feeling!

Love to you all,
Rhonda Wudarczyk

Chapter 7 Decision

Everyone needs to learn how to make decisions
on their own.Yes sometimes you need to change
your mind if you do not fill the decision you made
is not right.

One of the first and most important rules is not to
be influenced by others.  Take no one into your
confidence except the member of the Master Mind
Group.  Again you need to be sure of the selection
of this group.

Finally I  realize that I do have a brain and can use
it on my own.  I can now make my own decisions
without  the help of others.  So many times I have
learned that if I open my mouth, in the presenses
of other I have displayed  the exact stock of my
knowledge or lack of it.

That same person who  calls themself a friend
has taken my  information and used the
information for their own good.

Napoleon HIll states that it not only took the
courage of fifty-six men to sign the ” Declaration
of Independence”  in  1776 but it also meant
they were putting their life on the line.

Can you imagine what would have happened
if any of the men  went to the British Solders
and leaked this information that was happening
behind the closed doors.

Are you looking for a miracle.  Stop!! You will not
find it here.  It takes six principles: desire,
decision, faith, persistance, being involed in the
Master Mind Group and organized planning.  Also, it
takes doing your lessons every week.

I am really beginning to find my inner self which
has been hidden for years.  Thanks to Michael
and Linda for being in me.  Also thanks to Terri
Pattio and to Irma White.

Chapter 8
Decision, The Mastery of Procrastination
Second Round September 16 2008

Hi Michael

We’ve been wondering a long time, and more
so lately …

“Why don’t spouses support each other?”

This is Hill’s phrase from Chapter 8 that struck
me this time:

“Close friends and relatives, while not meaning
to do so, often handicap one through ‘opinions’
and sometimes through ridicule, which is meant
to be humorous. Thousands of men and women
carry inferiority complexes with them all through
life, because some well-meaning, but ignorant
person destroyed their confidence through
‘opinions’ or ridicule.”

I’ve been listening to Robert Anthony lately,
and I can now with confidence disagree with
Napoleon Hill on this one …

People who ridicule you are NOT well meaning,
even though they cloak their comments with
sugary phrases that sound as though they have
your best interests at heart.

They DO NOT.

People who ridicule you DO NOT intend to be
humorous, even though they cloak their
comments with a nervous laugh, hoping that
no one questions the source of their nervousness.

They are NOT trying to be funny or amuse you.

People who ridicule you ARE NOT ignorant.

They may plead ignorance of your feelings,
but be assured that they know EXACTLY
what they are doing, perhaps not on a
conscious level, but they DO know what
they are doing.

They are trying to bring you down.

They NEED to bring you down.

We’ve all heard the crabs in the bucket story
where when one crab tries to climb out of the
bucket, the other crabs reach up and pull the
escapee back down.

Robert Anthony tells us that people must
dismiss and trivialize our goals and dreams,
because if they listened to us, they would
have to question their own lives and think
about the dreams that they have abandoned.

Too scary for most.

Better to mock than look within.

Bob Dylan says it best in
It’s Alright Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)

” For them that must obey authority
That they do not respect in any degree
Who despise their jobs, their destinies
Speak jealously of them that are free
…
While one who sings with his tongue on fire
Gargles in the rat race choir
Bent out of shape from society’s pliers
Cares not to come up any higher
But rather get you down in the hole
That he’s in.”

So this is my advice:

Every time you hear an opinion about your
new venture, or a phrase that contains the
phrase “you should”, or a joking remark that
stings, or any reminder of what you used to be,
or where you came from, and how you will never
be any better even though you know you can be,
or any comment at all that feels like dogs
leaping from the ditch and snapping rabidly
at the wheels of your new vehicle,

STOP.

Stop and ask yourself …

Why does this person need to bark at me?

What is this person afraid of?

Does this person have my best interests at heart?

What will happen to this person if I change?

Why does this person want me to remain as I am
and not grow as I want to grow?

What would I lose if I increased the distance
between myself and this person?

And then stop again and ask yourself …

“Why did I begin this adventure if I didn’t
intend to complete it?”

“Will I allow others to keep me from my dream?”

Tough choices and tough decisions.

Follow your heart and go back to the beginning
of this chapter where Hill tells us to make
decisions quickly and change them slowly.

It’s YOUR life.

Make a decision NOW about how
you are going to live it.

Change that decision slowly, if at all.

If you have been in this group since early June, you
have already heard the first part of this story.  If
you just went to the same company convention
that I attended…you were privileged to experience
a happy ending to the story.

It was originally “published” under the “Persistence”
chapter…but I think it will  probably work for the
“Imagination” chapter as well.

For those of you who did not hear the first part of
this “saga”…well, sit back and relax a few minutes
and listen…it was my “lesson” most remembered.from
what I heard at convention anyway. It goes like this..

I want to share a little story with you about one of
life’s little pearls of wisdom as taught to me by my
Uncle D–I’ll just call him Uncle D because his full
name is spelled funny and is hard to say…but Uncle
D is quite a bit older than me and you’ll under-
stand about his wit and wisdom by the end of my story.

Uncle D is always helping me out with life’s challenges,
so when he asked me one day to help him out with a
project, I was anxious to find out what on earth Uncle D
would need my help to do.  He said, “I’ve got somethin’
real special under this here car cover, and I need you
to be here every day just to make sure nothin’ happens
to it, because I need it to be perfect by August 28th–
it’s a special day and a lot of people are counting on
it being perfect on that day.

But, do not take the cover off of it til August 27th.I’m
gonna be real busy between now and then helpin’ a lot of
people figure things out, so I need YOU to take care of
this for me.”

And that’s all Uncle D said about it.

Well, I didn’t want to sound stupid, and for sure, I
wanted to please Uncle D and have everything be perfect
for him on August 28th, so I needed to get busy, because
I sure didn’t want Uncle D to think I was incompetent
when he needed me to help him out.

I need to get to work on this project right away.  Yes,
there was a car cover over what appeared to be the
shape of a Ford Mustang; and just a little peek under
the edge of the cover told me it was candy apple red.

I wonder why this car is so special to Uncle D – but
it obviously is, so I’ve got to make things perfect
for him by August 28th–but Uncle D said I couldn’t
take this cover off til August 27th, so I’ll have to
be creative.

I’m not sure that flimsy little car cover is really
heavy enough to protect this car til August 28th, so
if I just use some duct tape and overlap these two big
tarps over here together, and I string some of this
strong yellow nylon rope through the grommets on the
tarps–let’s see–here are some old pulleys over here
in the corner.

I think if I climb up into the rafters and rig these
pulleys in just the right spots, I’ll be able to get
this huge tarp suspended by the ropes so that it hangs
just above this prized possession so that it keeps the
dust from settling on that car cover–it’s kind of a
thin little thing and I’m not sure it can handle the
pressure til August 28th.

Wow, that was a big job–I haven’t climbed around
in the rafters in a long time–I’m glad I’ve been
doin’ some workin’ out lately–that was heavy!

OK, what else?  Uncle D has this fancy schmancy
dehumidifier running day and night in here, but I
really think it will be more effective if I take this
garden hose that’s running over to the drain off of
it and cap that thing and I’ll just empty that tank
myself–I know it’ll take very careful monitoring,
but I want to please Uncle D and whoever is counting
on him for this big thing on August 28th.I just think
if I empty it myself every hour–well, then I’ll know
it’s been done right.

And I really think there needs to be some fresh air
circulating in here so that no humidity gets caught
up under that flimsy little car cover.  I’ll just
raise up the big overhead door a couple of feet.  But
I can’t let bugs get in here.  Oh here we go…I’ll use
this screen that’s rolled up over here and these boards–
here’s a staple gun…I’ll just build a screen frame to
put up in this two foot gap that will keep out the
critters–the big ones and the little ones.

Well, I probably better just raise that overhead door
and put the screens up maybe 15 minutes out of
every hour because I can’t let too much dust blow
in here.

Oh shoot!!  I knew that corner of the tarp wasn’t roped
into that pulley as well as the other corners.  I was
afraid that was going to happen.  Now I’ve got to get
the ladder back out again and get up in those rafters
again.  I’m going to strap that puppy in there this time
with some duct tape…that way I know for sure it won’t
be fallin’ again.  And I know Uncle D will be so proud
of how hard I’m working to make his project a success!

Now… the big one–I’ve been thinking about how to do
this part for so long, but now that things seem to be
under control here for a little bit,well.I guess I can’t
be gone too long.  I’ll need to dump that dehumidifier
tank and take the screens down so I can shut the
overhead door, but I’ll have about 45 minutes that I
can work on this part every hour until the job is done
right.

I’m headed to the local coffee shops.  I told you I was
the Queen of Persistence and Uncle D is going to be
so pleased–you know he’s quite a lot older than myself
and he’s so smart and full of wisdom–I just want to get
this project done perfectly for him!  So, I thought to
myself while I’ve been working on all these other things
–how am I going to get this car running perfectly by
August 28th if I can’t even uncover it til August 27th?

Well, Uncle D always says Im a “brilliant person” so I
think I’m about to make him even prouder. I’m going to
go to every coffee shop in town over the next few weeks
and with my notebook and pens in hand, I’m going to buy
a cuppa coffee for every unemployed mechanic in town
and interview each one of them to get their ideas for
what they think would be the best approach to getting
this car running perfectly when we’re only going to have
one day to get the actual job done–that is going to take
some definite planning and organizing.

But before I buy them a cuppa coffee, I’ll do some
preliminary screening to see if they own any Chilton’s
Manuals, because if they don’t, I know there’s no point
in wasting my time even talking to them.Everybody knows
that a mechanic worth his salt has Chilton’s Manuals.

OK–I’ll have to run back to the garage at the end of
every interview to dump the dehumidifier and put the
screens up and down in the doorway–I can’t let that
door stay up too long at a time.I guess I better climb
back up in the rafters and check those pulleys again–
I don’t want another one of them breaking loose!

Alright–the mechanics–Im really glad these guys are
unemployed right now because they’ll have more time to
talk to me about this.  And, since they’ve just been
hangin’ out at the coffee shop all day, they’ve had
time to clear their minds and will be able to brain
storm with me about the best way to accomplish this
tune-up in less than one day.  Oh my gosh–what if
the car needs more than a tune-up when we get that
cover off?

And I better find an air conditioner specialist–not
every mechanic has the specialized equipment to work
on that stuff.  I’ll line up the local tire shop for
that day just in case we need his expertise on the 27th.

I can’t take a chance that he’ll be too busy to help
us if we have a tire or wheel problem.

And the stereo system–that will need a specialist,
just in case it’s not working properly.  And what if
the rear view mirror has come unglued and fallen down
on the dash while this car has been under cover? Well,
I’ll just ask some of the unemployed specialists when
I interview them–they’ll surely know what I need to
do to handle all these challenges!

Wow, all that coffee and three spirals full of notes…
Uncle D will be so pleased and proud of me for putting
so much effort into making sure nothin’ happens to his
prize possession and that it’s perfect by the 28th of
August so all the people who are counting on Uncle D
won’t be disappointed.

I think I’m ready for the unveiling today…I got here
really early cause I know Uncle D will arrive this
morning to uncover the car and I’ve got everybody lined
up and on stand-by to go to work to make things perfect.

We’ll only have a 24-hour window and I’m so nervous;
I’ve got so much “on my plate” today…this has got
to be perfect and I’ve really worked so hard on this
project for Uncle D.

I owed him that much–he’s done so much for me!!  But,
I am really looking forward to a day off;  I’m so tired
and stressed-out trying to get this all pulled together
perfectly for Uncle D and whoever these people are that
he wants this to be perfect for.

Oh my gosh…I hear him driving up–I’d recognize the
“purr” of that Corvette anywhere!  I better get these
screens out of the doorway.  Uncle D will be wanting to
raise the door to get this prize unveiled–let’s see if
I was right about the shape–is it a Mustang–a candy
apple red one?

Uncle D strolled through the garage door with his shades
on and the car keys jangling in his hands, hollering,”Who
are all these flippin’ idiots out here with big tool boxes
and air wrenches and tire jacks and glue guns and every
other flippin’ tool under the sun?  Well, I don’t know,
but I’m takin’ this cover off–this baby is perfect just
the way she is and all I have to do is get in and drive
it!!

See ya later, Patti –thanks for watchin’ things for me.
I knew nothin’ would go wrong if you were in charge
cause you’re the most persistent person I know and
you will take care of business. Thanks for keeping
your eye on things.  I’m headed to Houston!”

Well, Uncle D was right…I was persistent, but when it
came down to it, everything was already perfect just the
way it was; all I really needed to do was take the cover
off of the already fine tuned, perfectly created “machine”,
get in, and drive it!

I didn’t have to fix it or coddle it at all;  I didn’t
even have to figure it out or understand what made it
tick.  I’ve wasted a lot of time and energy here and I
think I now see that being persistent is only worthwhile
if I focus my persistence on truth and reality.  I don’t
need to fix something that’s not broken; so by accepting
Uncle D’s wisdom that I am a brilliant person and I’m
perfect just the way I am, I can yank my dust cover off
this ole Buick and just get in and drive!!  And gear up
my persistence on a plan that’s been proven to work –
Mentoring For Free – 1, 2, 3!

~~~And Now…The continuation of the story…..

Well…Uncle D made it to Houston in the 2008 Candy
Apple Red, Gorgeous new Mustang!  When I got there,
it was a sad sight to see that beautiful machine sitting
under the Hilton Hotel’s front canopy…no car cover…no
tarp…no fancy dehumidifier…just hot sun beating down
and dusty fingerprints all over it.  The Team Banners
identified it as THE famous Mustang…but where were
all the caretakers???

Well, I took the opportunity to have my picture taken
with it, because I knew that in a couple of days, some
one very “Lucky” was going to be named the proud new
owner of this beautiful new…yet dusty…Mustang!
Who would it be?

Who is the strongest visualizer in this group? The
name drawn out of the box would undoubtedly show us
all whether or not this “Visualization Stuff” works.

Is it really true that a definite purpose backed by
a burning desire and supported with our Imagination
backed by emotion and intention…well, that doesn’t
exactly sound like “Luck” as some would like to think!

It sounds like something we can all do to create our
reality…but we have to participate in the process
obviously!  We can’t just go “poof” and have it appear!

Well, long story short…(fat chance)…the most vivid
description of her visualizations about winning this
Mustang were given on some of the team calls by our
Much-Loved Ms. Sarah Thompson.

Now if some of us didn’t have a strong visualization
of our own, do you think Sarah’s description of her
specific details of her visualization might have gotten
into our brains?  Do you think that her visualization
may have become OUR visualization if we didn’t
use our own abilities to Imagine and add emotion
and burning desire to winning that car ourselves?

Do You think Sarah’s visualization just expanded
exponentially as many of us started seeing HER
winning that car?

Can you see how many of us became co-visualizers
with Sarah…seeing HER burning desire in our own
mind’s eye…seeing what she would be wearing…
right down to her denim skirt and the color of her
shirt…and the wind blowing in her air as she drove
away!!

Do you think many of us visualized Sarah winning
that car rather than ourselves because we were
seeing HER “burning desire” in our mind’s eye after
listening to her detailed description of her
visualization numerous times on the team calls?

Do you think that it’s true…what we think about in
our most dominant thoughts becomes our reality???

YES…it does!!!  Sarah won the Mustang…and
the cabin for two on the cruise; Jennifer Fisher
won the laptop which she has had on her dream
board for over a year…the exact model, no less!
When Michael described it on the call, Jennifer
said it was hers…do you think her visualizations
with her emotions and burning desire may have
had anything to do with it becoming reality?  Or
do you believe she was just lucky…like Sarah??

Well, back to the Mustang…it was a wild and
crazy and exciting time when those winning
tickets were being called out!  Our soft-spoken
Ms. Sarah running and jumping into Uncle D’s
arms…I hope he had his back brace cinched
up for that one!  The screaming and tears of
emotion were boiling over the top at that moment!
The cameras were flashing and the videos were
rolling and ‘Mustang Sarah’ was given birth in
Reality after months of Labor Pains called
Imagination and Visualization tempered with
a burning desire and intense emotions…created
in the mind of our brilliant, self-disciplined Ms.
Sarah Thompson.

Did it take a whole lot of effort on her part to
sit and visualize and focus on her emotions and
imagination and visualizations EVERY DAY, more than
once each day??? YES!!

Was she just lucky??  NO!!!

The Power of Visualization is hanging out and blasting
itself at us from all directions in this experience!

If we don’t/can’t believe in Visualization and the
fact that what we think about in our most dominant
thoughts becomes our reality…well, sign up for
another round of the 30 Day Mental Cleanse!
It made a believer out of me!!!

P.S.  GUESS WHAT!  Right before Uncle D (who
had crawled into the driver’s seat by then) and
Mustang Sarah were about to pull away for the
“Maiden Voyage” in the brand new Mustang,
Uncle D wagged his finger at me and I thought
he might need me to wipe the sweat from his
brow or something…the man had been extremely
wound up through this exciting adventure!!

But no…he said…”go around and get in the back
seat behind Sarah…let’s go!!”  I guess Uncle D
thought two greens might add up to a blue…and
I didn’t wait to be asked twice!  Holy Crap!  You’ve
heard Uncle D’s stories about his wild and crazy
driving…well, I can testify that’s it’s all true!

I think he is probably on this call today from his
hands and knees in front of that hotel as he is
likely still scrubbing the black skid marks from
the fancy floor outside that hotel with his tooth
brush!

You would think that two greens would at least
put on their seatbelts before “TAKE OFF”…but
we didn’t have time!  WHAT A RIDE!  And we
all survived!  Uncle D gave us lessons on the
exact process to lay ten feet of rubber from
a dead stop…it was a personal development
experience!  And I know at least two greens
who flippin’ loved it!  Thanks, Uncle D, for
an amazing adventure from beginning to end!

And the saga continues as Mustang Sarah is
touring the country doing P.R. work for her
network marketing company.  The rest of us will
have backorders galore as she is wiping out the
company warehouse supply of products on her whirl
wind tour of the country!

She even exchanged sample product and a company
catalog with a state trooper who stopped her for
her autograph during her first day on tour.

She said he wouldn’t share his phone number with
her so she traded him some samples and a new
company magazine just unveiled at conference for
a warning ticket.  WHAT A DEAL!

MUSTANG SARAH AND UNCLE D…and of course, the Major
Workhorse of the Team…BEAUTIFUL LINDA…Thank You
for all that You do to help us all become successful!

I, for one, Love You All More Than You Can Possibly
Imagine! WHAT AN AMAZING “RIDE” THIS IS!!
