SIX years ago Nate was 7 years old, and Anna was 4 years old. They were just babies! I was teaching - my cup was overflowing with responsibility, but I DID love my job. Balancing being a mommy to 2 busy kids and teaching was not easy. We were living paycheck to paycheck, had no plan for retirement, no money in savings, and had no plan B. I hated my body. I hadn't worn shorts in probably 10 years b/c I was so insecure. I was working out ALL OF THE TIME - running like a crazy person, doing P90X, and working out at the YMCA, but nothing was changing. Oh, and I hated multi-level marketing...like IN MY SOUL hated the industry and thought it was CRAP. 

I had dreams, but no time to pursue them. 
I wanted to be at home with my kids full time, but we couldn't afford it. 
I wanted to feel comfortable in my body, but wasn't addressing root issues. 

Then, God. He allowed me to think for one hot second, "What if?" And, in that second, exactly 6 years ago, I clicked JOIN, and did something that I said I would never-ever-ever-ever-over-my-dead-body-ever do again. 

I joined an MLM. I was desperate to lose weight, and my vanity caused a momentary lapse in judgement. I doubted the products would work, and there was no way in hell I was going to build a business. 

But, "what if?" 
What if they did work? 
And what if residual income WAS a real thing? 
I couldn't shake the feeling that I was in the very place that God wanted me to be. 

And, I was. 

My health is better than it has ever been, nobody owns my time (the most precious commodity of all). Tens of thousands of lives have been changed. We have earned over 2.5 million dollars in the past 6 years-cash, trips, prizes, cars...all of the things! My relationship with my children is dreamy. My marriage is stronger than ever. The women I call team members and friends are literally the greatest, most inspiring, brilliant women on the planet. My relationship with the Lord is stronger, and I have grown as a person and as a leader. The ONLY reason I put these things "out there" is because you can have them too. 

Not ONE bad thing has come from me clicking "join." Not one. 

Thank you LORD for the gift of Plexus 6 years ago. Thank you Jesus for not letting my skepticism of the industry or pride of "What will others think of me?" hold me back from living a life of FREEDOM and ABUNDANCE.
