A little background first.....I moved to Camp Lejeune in 07 and before that Virginia Beach for a couple years and before that...Okinawa. Today a group of girlfriends met there to all get Pumpkin Spice Lattes and Pumpkin scones. Right after I sat down outside with my 7 girlfriends, a lady comes up to me and says excuse me....did you used to live in Okinawa, followed closely by you used to sell Pampered Chef! I remembered her name (big kudos for me...names I can remember all the time!!)and said I still sell Pampered Chef. I gave her my card and she said she wants to have a party with me EVEN though she has been using someone here.
BTW....this is SO not the first time this has happened.........
 
yeah!!! that is a great way to off set the cost of your starbucks!!!!
 
It just goes to show you that people remember you when you do a great job!
