Update

I haven't written in a while because my life has been a whirlwind of activity lately. I will try and take a couple of minutes to update you on what has been going on, trying to remember what I was feeling in the moment and where my thought process was. I am not usually this busy. I am usually a do one thing at a time kind of person and have a lot of down time. If I was doing anything other than Arbonne I think I would have thrown in the towel by now but it continues to be a bright spot in my day, allowing me to adapt to my sudden busy lifestyle.

I had my first Arbonne party on Saturday; it was an amazing success, this is because of my wonderful, loving friends. They asked all the right questions during the presentation, bought a lot of product and were so supportive in both presence and words of encouragement. It was an amazing night, at the end of it when I was sitting by myself reflecting on the night all I could think was, is someone really going to pay me to do this? Now I know it won't be my friends all the time but meeting new people and sharing experiences is so rewarding that I am so looking forward to my own presentations.

Next in my busy week came my test, as you know I have chronic stomach problems that have been a part of my life since I was 6, more seriously since I was 18. This Monday I went to the hospital for a test, one I have had before but it does require some sedative so I was out of it for most of the day Monday. I have a follow-up appointment on Tuesday of next week to talk about what was found. This in itself is a battle for me, I long for the day that a doctor can tell me what I have, why I am in constant pain, why I am the way I am. Now that I'm pretty sure they have actually figured out a diagnosis I feel silly for wanting one. What kind of sick person wants to be told they are sick? I am back and forth on the subject so much. I've pretty much decided to ignore this until I see the doctor, its been pushed to the back of my mind because I have way happier things to think about.

My first Arbonne National meeting was on Tuesday, again one of my wonderful friends accompanied me lending her unwavering support. I was recognized as a new consultant and it sparked my competitive spirit to succeed in this business. It made me want to take action right away, but as I said this is a busy week so action has not been happening. Also on Tuesday I started a new job, it is so different than any other job that I have had, they take care of their employees, want us to be comfortable in our job. It's great so far. The job itself I feel I can do once I learn the ropes and I am confident I will be good at it.

Wednesday brought another day of training at the new job and then after work I ventured on to the airport to pick up a very old friend. My girlfriend from home is visiting and we have known each other since we were about 6, having her around is like having my family here. A warm welcome blanket to protect me from everything that is going on in my life. She is here until Sunday and I am so happy that she came to visit. Our trip will consist of lots of catching up and much needed time together.

Second Arbonne party is tonight, smaller crowd tonight but my trainer says I'm going to do part of the presentation so I'm excited, and nervous.

So that's it, that's why I basically haven't had a moment to breathe since I posted last Saturday. I am having a lot of fun but last night I had a slight organization freak out and feel like I should be doing more  to build my business. That's where my head is, errands today with my girl and then party tonight!
