After
eleven years working as technical
and administrative support in
engineering offices, stressful
deadlines absorbed my time to a
point that I had no life. I kept
saying to myself, “There’s got to be
more to life than this.”
I
had also been back in college part
time for a few years and loved it,
but wasn’t quite sure where a speech
communications major was going to
take me as a career. Life quickly
changed, and I suddenly found myself
working in a media communications
office. Communications work was both
a blessing and a curse. The work was
more suited to my interests, but I
still didn’t want to be tied to an
office schedule.
In the depths of my heart I wanted
to have my own business – ideally
one that didn’t tie me down; A
business that would allow me the
freedom to travel domestically and
internationally, meet other people,
and enjoy life while supporting
myself. I wasn’t sure how, when,
where, or what kind of business
would offer me such freedoms and
idealistic life-style, but it was
constantly in the back of my mind –
just looking for an opportunity to
manifest.
Then one day almost two years ago, I
heard about some wonderful
rainforest herbs. Now, earthy herbs
and exotic rainforests have always
been a love of mine, so when it all
came together in a complete package
with a business opportunity
included, I was immediately onboard.
Suddenly, I found my dreams
manifesting…I was meeting people,
traveling, and having fun while
offering others the chance to
experience vibrant health and a way
to gain financial freedom – a
perfect combination.
It has been an enlivening journey of
personal development, along with the
incredible support of others in the
business. I look forward to every
day, making new friends, and living
my life the way I choose. |
