We have all been seeing the FB post to show a photo of yourself 10 years ago and then also a recent photo to share a fun 'anti-aging' post. I'm going to flip that concept a bit and challenge you to share as well: What would my younger self share with my 'today' self that would benefit me right now? (I'm holding a photo from 30+ years ago because we don't age much in 10 years unless you are a young friend of mine in your twenties!)


Here are a few things that came to mind:
* Get outside more!
* Laugh with friends until you are doubled over and your side hurts so much that you gasp for air and then you do it all over again.
* Have a fierce belief in your future self.
* Be more silly, color in those coloring books, jump on a sled and relish in the times to play in life.
* Believe in all the possibilities.
What would my current 'self' be able to teach my younger self:
* Forget about what anyone else thinks of you; that is absolutely none of your business.
* It isn't your job to solve all the conflicts and hold space for all of that......let others work out more of their stuff on their own and you can be there to talk before and after, but it isn't all of yours to hold, solve and resolve.
* Be a lot lighter- that 'permanent file' that supposedly follows us around everywhere doesn't exist in the way you think it does.
* Holding on to tough memories is extremely heavy. Learn how to dig deep, walk through what you need to walk through and put down that baggage sooner.
* Enjoy it all: the laughter, the tears, the deep conversations, and the awesome discoveries of each new phase of your life.
* Don't worry about getting older; life gets better as we learn more about ourselves and those we love.
* Don't wear those horrible '80s jeans that were so skin tight that you couldn't breathe well when they were zipped up. Proudly wear what you want to wear.
* Know that there will be many, many times in your life that you will feel helpless and clueless. The anti-dote is to seek the advice and counsel and wisdom of those who have walked that particular journey of grief or pain before you and allow them to help show you the way.
* Keep praying: You are called to be someone you are not today.

Sweet Sixteen

In October, it is so much fun to celebrate my anniversary with Lemongrass Spa Products and I'm grateful to be rejoicing with my "Sweet 16" anniversary this year. When I started on this journey, I had never been in sales, but I had always been in sales because I am the type of person that if I find something that is outrageously amazing, I am going to share it with YOU. I knew I would be able to share and my desire was huge. You see, I didn't know all the steps that it would take to get strong at sharing with others or how to build a team or sell enough to make an impact or how to earn promotions and I didn't need to know all the steps when I started. I just needed to begin.
I listened to an awesome talk by John Maxwell last night that sums it up (my paraphrase): When you begin something, you don't need to be perfect and you don't need to hit all your goals, you just need to have a deep DESIRE. That desire will help you as you fail through your first several attempts and then you just keep going because your DESIRE to MAKE an IMPACT is what matters. #Truth My favorite aspect of my business is being able to make an impact. I have been able to make a difference in helping countless families toss the toxic ingredients out of their every-day routines and instead, use pure, natural and organic ingredients from head-to-toe. That matters a great deal to me. It mattered sixteen years ago and it matters even more today. I'm so grateful to my phenomenal customers who have partnered with me to bless so many non-profits and individuals with fundraisers. What a blessing! I have been able to make an impact by being an ENCOURAGER and helping others find their passion as they begin their Lemongrass Spa business. It started with my saying 'yes' on October 1st and signing that piece of paper at our owner's home and taking my kit home to dream big and make my plans!
I'm so grateful to have the privilege of encouraging the leaders on my team and all those in our organization who said YES to their dream as well. Some of the 1,861 women and men on our team said 'yes' to beginning in order to have SAFER products for their family and others wanted to replace or supplement their income so they could have Time Freedom by setting their own hours and making their own decisions about the income they want to make. Our organization shared more than $4.8 million in safe and healthy Lemongrass Spa Products during our conference year of 2019/2020. That is something to be celebrated among our organization, to be sure.
I am so honored to work alongside some of the most positive, encouraging, motivated, caring and enthusiastic individuals who desire a healthier lifestyle with their head-to-toe necessities but also a healthier relationship with the amount of time they spend working. These phenomenal individuals have their own dream and their own mission and they motivate me daily. I could not be happier to have signed that piece of paper sixteen years ago, which enabled me to build relationships that will last a lifetime. I’m humbled that my saying ‘yes’, meant that opened the door for the 1,861 individuals on my team.
Thanks for taking a moment to celebrate with me! The truth is, I have trouble sharing these types of milestones because I don't like to put the focus on myself, but I was encouraged this week that this celebration is about sharing what is POSSIBLE and (most importantly), celebrating my team. If I started with a team of ONE (me, myself and I), and have built a dynamic, phenomenal, compassionate, motivated and caring organization of eighteen hundred STRONG individuals, so can you. If I have had multiple promotions, so can you. If I have earned seven spa incentive trips, so can you! If I can make an impact, so can you. I believe that wholeheartedly. It all begins with saying ‘yes’ and having a deep desire to make a difference. The truth is: none of us do this alone. Not one of us figures out everything on our own. Our team culture is that we encourage one another, we help one another, we share with one another, we problem solve with one another and we brainstorm with one another. Together, we become stronger and more innovative and more empowered. I am blessed! As Wendy Gerlach shares, "Together we are stronger." During Covid, we have strengthened our relationships with our customers and have found a way to serve them well. I hope you are staying healthy and safe. We proudly ship all across the USA so let me know if I may help you or serve you.

Having a Plan B can make an Impact

I know many parents who have decided to cut back on their work hours in order to be available for their children who are navigating online school. One friend shared that they need to have two internet routers in their home to support her husband's work and also three boys who are fully participating in online school. The bandwidth on one system was simply not enough so they are paying for two. Other parents need to be present to support their special needs child during this flux and helping them with a hybrid school schedule or a full time at-home online school scenario. Financial news: "Parents of younger children are in a very tenuous position. According to a new survey from COUNTRY Financial, to accommodate the changes in the 2020 school season, 21% of parents have had to cut back their workload, and 7% have even had to quit their jobs altogether. With less money coming into the household coffers, 70% of these parents say they’ve had to delay payment on at least one of their monthly bills." Jean Chatzky This is a time where direct sales (especially working an Online Lemongrass Spa business) could SAVE the day!

Prebiotics in skincare is Revolutionary

One of my favorite stories to tell about our line is how our Prebiotics were developed ‘on accident’. You see, an Environmental Scientist was tasked with cleaning up chemical spills in lakes & waterways and he developed a kelp and Prebiotic recipe that was quite effective at over-taking the chemical brew. His lead Scientist would stir the batches and he noticed that where the Prebiotic mixture was splashing on his arm (during the mixing), that it was clearing up his eczema.

Eureka Moment: Mark realized that he had also developed a powerful product that would help encourage the healthy bacteria to THRIVE on our skin.

How amazing is that? Mark describes our Prebiotic Line as “Health Food for our Skin”. He worked on prebiotics for twenty four years and introduced it to Lemongrass Spa. He shares, “the healthier your skin is, the less susceptible you are to damage and disease.”

For me, I noticed a difference in the texture of my skin the very first time I used our Prebiotic Body Wash. My skin was softer and a smoother texture that was more moisturized. Another gem from our product developer: “Prebiotics are designed to clean without stripping the good ecology on our skin that is supposed to be there as a shield. They promote a continued sealing and healing process to the body.”
Added Benefit: the more we use the Prebiotic products, the more we are helping to keep our water system healthy. Full Circle: remember that this product began as a solution to clean up chemical spills in the environment. Fast forward to thousands of people using this as hand soap, body wash and face wash. Now~ consider the impact of sending prebiotics down your shower or kitchen drain versus a chemical brew. You can make an impact!
