It's been a while since I have had the time to write. I have not been this busy, exhausted and energized in a long time. Busy does not even cut it. Right now I have two students I tutor, and I work study hall most Tuesdays and Thursdays. Now, there is my new job selling Pampered Chef. All this besides my normal full time job of teaching. The tutoring has been helping us because I have been putting it towards food and not having to dip into savings as much. I know in this economy we are not the only ones that are struggling to make ends meet. And honestly, at times I am frustrated that we are not doing better, but overall I feel so blessed in my life I can deal with this little struggle.
So let me share about the new fun part of my life. Selling PC has turned out pretty well. Right now I am still working parties for friends, but I have a few people that are interested in booking a party. I love how easy it is to do the party. I am still working on my delivery, but so far feedback seems to be good. I just have to remind myself that a large part of this is having fun, enjoying the company. The products really sell themselves. I have been practicing as I drive, talking about the business. When I signed up I honestly did not think I would try to recruit other people to sell PC, but at a training class I realized that there are others out there like me. They may need to hear about this opportunity so I practiced sharing the things I like about PC. Hopefully I can help someone else who may need to make their ends meet too. I know part of my success will be really sharing what PC does for its hosts. Free products are always fun to get. I do not want a party to be cumbersome for a host, I want them to enjoy themselves. If I ever get to where I am a pushy salesperson, and its all only about the money tell me to quit. Its got to be about the people, having fun, and a great product. Ok I really did not mean this to become a commercial. Sorry. I am just excited. This has pushed me to become more out going and in some ways I feel I am finding a part of me that has been missing for years. Making myself call people and ask them if they would have a party for me has actually been very freeing.
I wish I could say my raw diet is going well, but its not there. I am guessing you can see that I am very busy, so planning and making things ahead is really hard. I am still loving my daily smoothie. In fact I think they are why I am able to survive all this busyness. They really give me energy and help me feel better. My cholesterol has dropped significantly. When I had a physical last summer my cholesterol was on the high side and they wanted me to go on a low chol. diet and get it checked again. I went in a couple of weeks ago and when the nurse called with the results I commented that I guess my new diet was working. She responded with " you did this with diet?". She thought it was the result of some medicine. So I know I am on the right track. Now its getting the sugar out of my system again. Oh what a tangled web we weave when dessert and sugar we eat. I was really hoping to be down a size in clothes by my 50th. Its not much but for me it would mean I am on my way to a healthier life. That this will be the year I truly succeed. This stupid struggle I dance with every day is ....? I don't even have the right words. I always have faith that in the end I will be successful...but this part of the journey goes to the depths of me. Its a deep hurt and failure in me that sometimes feels beyond me. Sometimes I feel like the fool that sells his soul for a piece of chocolate when his Father has a palace filled with every treasure imaginable. But its a journey. Bumps, bends, potholes. Soon I am due for a coasting down a long gentle sloping hill.
Thanks for reading and sharing in my life. When I started this blog, I did not know where I would go with it, I still do not know where its going. I just had the urge to write again. Writing has always been a big part of who I am. So I guess its the first step in Finding me....
