Why Not YOU?

We all need it, mad money.  That little bit of extra cash that allows us to buy lunch out at the office now and then, go out for a drink at happy hour, or to a matinee on the weekend.  Maybe you need it to take the kids to dinner or an  indoor water park on a snowy day.  Or maybe you need more than that, you need a part time income to supplement your family budget.  After all, many workers haven’t seen a raise in a few years and things are getting tighter by the day.  Maybe, like me, you lost your job when the economy tanked and need a full time income.

Why not try Avon?  Why NOT you, and why NOT today?

Save money on childcare by being HOME while you work to build your own business.  Set you own hours, be your own boss.

Alcohol, tobacco and cosmetics were the things during the depression that INCREASED in sales.  In every bad economy those things are on the rise.  We gals can live with being poor, but we’re going to look darn good doing it!  And when money is tight people change their spending habits.  Avon offers quality products in cosmetics, jewelry, fashion, every day, bath and body and more, that are top of the line.  They can do everything those expensive department store brands can for a considerable savings.  Don’t be mistaken, higher price does not mean better quality.  And with Avon, your customers have the convenience of shopping from their seat and not their feet.

You earn 20-50% commission based on your sales, so you can make as little or as much as you want.  Even if you just purchased your family’s needs (bath products, hair care, cosmetics, lotions/moisturizers) you’d have enough in sales to get quite a commission!  Our sales are always outstanding in the brochures, and as an independent sales  representative for Avon you would be getting those great sale items at an additional 20-50% savings!

$10-$20 to start, and that is ALL you need.  That small fee ($10 if you are local to me, $20 if you sign up online) gets you everything you need to launch your very own at-home business.  There is a wonderful amount of online training (free!) and you would be in my downline so you would get lots of help and training from me as well.  I use Skype to connect with my out of the area team members and for them to be able to attend the team meetings every 2 weeks!  With Avon you truly are in business for yourself, but not  by yourself.

I am always looking for ambitious men and women (some of our top sellers are men!) to join my team.  Why not you, why NOT today?

To join my team and start working for yourself, just go to START AVON and sign up with the code:  MARTIGARDNER

You will receive everything you need in 5-7 days to begin working for yourself.

Skeptical?  I’ve met those women making 6 figures in Avon.  Just check out Barb Avery, her and her husband got there in less than 2 years!  Watch her video on her site, “Our Story” for how they did it.  YOU can do this too!

Sign up today and join my team, I’d love to have YOU!

I’m in a funk.

I know, but trust me us eternal optimists hit a funk now and then despite all the silver linings we can find.

Just happens once in a while.  I’ll snap out of it.

I think it is associated with the purging, the breakup, and the end of the year.

Looking back at this time last year, I was in a relationship with Mr. Wonderful.  He really did help me grow and see myself in a better light than I had since being told that my marriage had reached its expiration date.  It was the second time in life our paths had crossed, and that time we let things unfold and discovered the feelings we suspected were there years earlier still there and very real.  And completely wrong as he belonged to another. His story is just tragic and sad to me.  I hope he is able to break free and enjoy life and just be happy.  But that will require him getting out of a loveless marriage that has been that way for oh so many years.  We’ve remained good friends and still talk now and then, encourage each other’s walk and faith.

This is my second year in the past 24, that I’m celebrating Christmas without Ebenezer Scrooge.   22 years of being married to the partner of Jacob Marley could put a little black rain cloud over the holidays.  While the Count turned out to be the Grinch, all is good and I won’t let it get me down for Christmas.  Once again we’ve got the house all decorated, and it looks beautiful.  Fire in the fireplace, relaxing and enjoying this time as a family.  Time before 2 Divas will go out of here and we’ll be down to us three older chicks.  One is moving out after the holidays, and one enlisted in the Marines and will head off to basic in July.  Yep, in a  year the landscape of your life does change, often dramatically. Next year the youngest Diva will be away from home with the Marines and not here with us.

In the past year my heart was held by 3 men, and all of them managed to break it.  One because we didn’t mean to have things go from friends to lovers but it did, and he (Mr. Wonderful) was not free to pursue us.  And I didn’t know that at the time, that important  piece was never shared I discovered it on my own.  The Superhero never meant  to break it, the timing was just wrong.  Again, good friend that I dearly love and knows all he  has to do is call and I’m there to drink a few and hang out.  And then there is the Count.  That one is a just a big ass mystery to me to go from planning the future to nothing over night.  And now the gift I was working on for him for Christmas is sitting in the bag in my closet, partially completed and I haven’t the desire to finish it.  My hook and yarn are therapy for me, and there is great love and many prayers that go into every stitch of anything I make for another person.  There is no joy in that bag now, just a reminder of what isn’t to be.  My Camelot didn’t work out so well, King Arthur let me down.  I should just finish it for me, but it wasn’t supposed to be for me!  Or maybe finish it and mail it to him since it was specifically for him and I sure don’t want it.  *sigh*

Sir Lancelot and a number of other knights have let me know of their interest, but Guinevere just isn’t sure.  Oh there is a desire to try again, but my heart just isn’t ready, not yet.  Then again life is short.  Decisions…..what to do?

Then there is the Avon vs. childcare.  I’m down to one baby during the day, and an 8yo before and after school.  I will have a friend’s 2 but just one day a week to give her a day a week for herself while hubby is deployed and she finishes school.  In the summer I won’t have them, just during the school year.  So..take on a few more kids or really dive in to Avon and try to get things up where I need them?  Hard choice really.  Avon would pay off in the long run, but in the short term my son is getting married in 3 months and mama needs to cough up half of the money for the rehearsal dinner and a dress.  Babysitting full time and working Avon at night and on weekends is the safer choice but doesn’t leave me much ME time at all.  ARGH!

I know, the funk will pass and I’ll figure it all out as I go, just like I always do.

But still…in the funk at the moment, and just feeling kinda BLAH.
