My Why!


It is a freezing December night, the wind claws at my back, snow and ice crunch beneath my boots. I just want to get home and burrow into the warmth of my electric blanket. A sense of unease settles in the pit of my stomach as I cross the desolate parking lot.

My heart sinks. Shattered glass litters the dark pavement sparkling like scattered blood diamonds deceptiveky beautiful and all too threatening in the dim glow of streetlights. Slashed tires slump aginst unforgiving concrete.There's no hope of escape.

Memories flash through my mind of another time I was stranded. Waking up in a pool of blood. Calling every one in my contacts but they were all too busy to help or didn't answer. 
Fear clenches in my stomach, nausea burns my throat. I can't go through that again! 
But this time is different. This time, I know who to call. I take a deep breathe, gathering my strength, reminding myself why it will be okay. With numb fingers and a shaking hand I press send my whole body trembling. 

Just before the call connects, the sound of heavy footsteps crunching across the snow causes my skin to prickle with dread.
What ifs, spin through my mind. What if help doesn't come in time, what if there's no answer. 
The footsteps get louder, closer. 
My muscles tense ready to flee.
The call connects. It starts to ring. Before it even finishes the first trill, I hear a reassuring voice on the other end, "Good Guides, how may we help you?" 
"My car has been broken into. The tires are slashed. I need help NOW! There's someone here!"
"We've alerted 911, the nearest patrol is on its way. We're sending a tow truck now."
In the distance, a beacon of hope emerges—a far off siren cutting through the night, the hint flashing red and blue lights in the distance, getting closer with each passing moment. 
From the shadows, a broad silhouette hastens towards me. 
I try to swallow but my throat squeezes shut. I can't breathe.
With precision and grace, they spring into action, their hands moving with the speed and certainty of those who had faced countless trials and been victorious. In the blink of an eye, the shattered glass is swept away, the slashed tires are replaced, and I'm enveloped in a cocoon of safety and security.
I will never again have to face the dark alone!
But it wasn't just their expertise that set The Good Guides apartit was their unwavering compassion, their steadfast commitment to serving those in need, and their boundless capacity for kindness in the darkest of hours. As they worked tirelessly to mend my broken spirit, I felt warmth spreading through the pain and fear of the past healing old traumas—a sense of gratitude that transcended words and echoed in the depths of my being.

And as the night faded into dawn, leaving behind the remnants of a storm weathered and a journey completed, I know one thing for certain: I'm not just a survivor anymore. I'm a warrior, forged in the fires of adversity and ready to arm others with the certainty of help during life's most terrifying moments! 
For in every challenge is an opportunity, and every setback is a chance to rise above and shine brighter than before. And with my burdens lightened and spirit soaring, I know that no matter where the road may lead, I can always make it home with the Good Guides by my side!

A Girl Can Dream, Right?

Preparing for the cruise, a whirlwind of excitement and anticipation courses through my veins. Amidst sapphire waves and ocean skies, I'm eager to meet with my teammates, especially one sexy beast I've been mentoring late at night, a little too often.  A single man secure enough in his masculinity to be sponsored by a woman he'd never met, it was more likely I'd win the lottery but it happened!  Men that secure, are  as rare as a million dollars popping out of thin air!  Finding one man who would just listen to my dream let alone believe in it and share it, up until him has been impossible... yeah I'm ready to go past first base and then some! As I finish packing, I can't help but indulge in a few tantalizing semi erotic fantasies. From our first conversation, strategizing his path to success, I was completely intoxicated by him. After months of working together, I'm still feeling an  undeniable connection that has nothing to do with business. His confidence...

Does a Matching 401K compare with the benefits of MLM?

 When you retire what will you remember the most? After my first retirement from MLM, my fondest memories were accidentally giving an entire third world village shoes, knowing we dropped $50,000 like it was spare change to get brain surgery for a DL's mother, it was the reuniting of brothers and it was life flighting special formula in to save a newborn for the child of a grocery store attendant in Costa Rica. Would I trade all that for a 401K?  Not in a hundred years. The power of network marketing isn't in the giant paychecks but in the community. It is a culture of self development, a culture of friendship, a culture of helping others. I have been so blessed to make friends all over the country. Ben Newcomb drove 5 hours one way to help me when Alex's vehicle broke down on our way back from picking up his abducted daughter. When I was pregnant Rhonda Hines sent tea for my nausea. Thousands offered me incredible emotional support throughout my ten year divorce from David ...
