I'm buying stock in Jack Daniels
My beautiful, naive eleven year old daughter got her first period yesterday. She is ecstatic. I am in shock.
I can never remember when mine first began - guess in my eyes it wasn't the blessed event that everyone else recalls with a glitter in their eyes while pulling up the exact date and time they became a woman. Please.
As she and I are picking up more supplies last night, we walk down the isle together, looking at the 1700 different brands and finally deciding on one. I grab two packages...perhaps secretly hoping I won't have to do this again for a while. Half way through this agonizing decision however (a minute into looking?) Leah starts jumping around and looking for the toy isle and disappears. Wow! The irony!
My little girl is just that. Her body might say woman but WTF...she is NOT and I don't think I want her to be for a long time. Last night my friend asked how I was! Now I know why! Although I am excited for the changes that inevitably lie ahead, I am reminded when I trip over the Barbie on her floor and neither she nor I am ready for all of that. How can this be? She is a beautiful girl with hips and boobs and now...THIS?
Moms hug your little girls today. Buy them a Barbie because before you know it you will be buying them Pamprin and stock in Jack Daniels for you.

Day 1
You may have wondered when on earth I would be back? I need this blog to tell my story about what is about to happen to my life. I have set my goals high with Arbonne and don't plan to slow down until I reach them. I will be driving my Mercedes within 21 months and making a 6 figure income. I am going to change my life and that of my family's. I don't have a doubt in the world that I can accomplish this and welcome anyone who would like to join me on my quest! I am in qualification from District manager currently with one business builder under my belt and meetings next week with two others whom I desperately want to take this journey with! I love this company, this business, THIS PRODUCT and this BUSINESS PLAN! Watch me fly, I am ready!
Love,
Amy
