If you are someone who is looking for single parents help, this might surprise you! There is always a bright side to any situation; here a 9 year old boy explains what he sees as the bright side of divorce.  Yes, there can be a bright side to divorce.  And isn’t it wonderful that a child can see it?  As the saying goes, “Out of the mouths of babes”.

I hope you're enjoying a great Summer and keeping cool with this crazy heat wave.  I'll make this short and sweet so you can get back to enjoying this sunshine. 

Gold Canyon has two fantabulous promotions that are running in July and there are only 13 days left to take advantage of them...

Summer Savings

How does 10% off your entire order and NO shipping fees sound you you?  That's right...when you have an order of $45 or more, you can enjoy this special promotion. 

This weather is a perfect time for one of our Scent Pod Warmers - no muss, no fuss and no extra heat in the house either.  Contact me for your promo code and enjoy some great scents this Summer. 

Live Your Dreams

Do you have a bucket list?  You know...a list of all the things you'd like to do in your life.  Are you living those dreams?  What if I told you that there is a really simple and FUN way to scrape up the extra money to cross a few of those bucket list items off your list?

Enter Gold Canyon's Summer Kit promotion.  For the entire month of July, Gold Canyon is offering the opportunity to purchase your Full Starter Kit for ONLY $19.95.  I know - crazy right?  You can start your own business for such an unbelievable price. 

But don't just take my word for it, have a listen to what some of our Fragrance Consultants are saying about their experience with Gold Canyon.

Did I mention that Gold Canyon has a brand new career plan rolling out?  I thought our current plan was great but have been blown away by this "best in class" opportunity - not to mention the pay increase.  The time has never been better to get started and get your feet wet before the Fall/Holiday rush!

So what are you waiting for...contact me and start realizing those dreams today!!

Don't forget...both promotions end July 31st!

Have a scent-sational day!

As I sat in bed watching my son with his finger jammed up to its knuckle in his nostril, hunting for that pesky booger, all I could think about was how much he reminded me of his Dad.

Chunky is a lot like my husband.  Sure there are qualities that he’s acquired from me like my phobia of spiders and my infinite love of ice cream and flip flops and how you can tell that I’m truly happy is by the way I smile with my eyes and the way I wear my heart on my sleeve.  But other than that (ok and his absolute cuteness) he is not like me.

And that makes me relieved.

You see, I grew up surrounded by a lot of negativity. I was never smart enough, skinny enough, brave enough, confident enough, polite enough and on and on.

To them, I was just never enough.

All that negativity bore deep into my brain and soul and I began believing what was said about me. Even though I did my best to be perfect and what was expected of me, I still viewed any attempts at anything as flawed.

To me, I was just never enough.

I’m still not good enough.

And that was my fear when I got pregnant. That my son would grow up and be like me. Not liking himself for who he is, to constantly worry about being perfect, to always self criticize, and to not be confident in his best efforts.

To always feel less than good enough that’s a terrible feeling.

I try my best to instil a positive self esteem in him every day by encouraging him, by praising his efforts, by comforting him. He is so lively and outgoing and confident, and all the things I never was.

Just like his Dad.

I am going to share with you my thoughts on getting over divorce and dating after divorce. As my mentor, T. Harv Eker says, “Don’t believe anything I say”. And why is that? Because I can only speak from my experience. Nothing I am going to say here is right or wrong, true or false. However, I believe my experience can help you.

Have you ever had something stress you out so much that you finally had to walk away and let it go?  Let me preface this post by saying that anything in my life that I undertake, I jump in with both feet, give it my all and 99% of the time I have great success (toot toot - that's my own horn blowing).  LOL  Anyhoo...as most of you know, I'm a Home Fragrance Consultant (that's our fancy new title) with Gold Canyon Candles.  I LOVE my business, hands down the best decision I have ever made.

BUT (you knew there had to be one in there somewhere), in order for my business to grow to a full time gig, it requires team building.  Sure, no problem I thought - who wouldn't want to party for a living and put some great money in their pocket at the same time?  In other words, why wouldn't people see this industry the same way that I do?  So I merrily go along my way, partying it up like there's no tomorrow (candle parties that is) and sharing the opportunity with everyone to join my team and do what I do - but not in a pushy, over the top kind of way - I don't roll like that (as my kids say).  Over the past year and a half I had a handful of gals that came onboard, but not nearly as many as I thought would jump at the chance.  After all, unemployment is high and this is a great way for people to make a respectable income.  Other consultants that I talked to had new team members signing up with them on a weekly basis and soaring through the leadership ranks.  WHAT WAS I DOING WRONG??

I talked to my upline and other reps to find out what was working for them, only to find out that they were doing exactly what I was doing.  I was starting to get a complex and really stressing myself out.  I couldn't sleep at night, trying to think of new and inventive ways to build my team.  All I could focus on was finding my little clone LOL.

Finally I had enough and had to let it go.  I decided to go about my daily business, focusing on the party end of things - after all, they are a hoot!!

The very next day - the phone rings.  Yup, you guessed it - someone was interested in becoming a Home Fragrance Consultant and wanted to join my team.  I kid you not - you could have pushed me over with a feather - which is no easy task - LOL.  A couple of days later, Gold Canyon announced a promotion for July - $19.95 to get your starter kit.  Wowsers...that's a great deal.  My phone has been ringing off the hook ever since.  Two new team members in the last week and 3 more ready to roll...and all because I let it go.

Who knew??

Have a scent-sational day!
