My introduction is coming after ... oh i donno ... several posts :blushing: I guess I just got excited and jumped right into things!

So, other than being slow, I'm new to PC as of last October. My name is Laura and I just moved to the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri. What a different world from other places I've lived (Omaha, Ne; Bremerton, Wa; Sacramento, Ca; Kaneohe, HI; and Denver, Co)

I moved from Denver where I worked as a Director to a Radiology group ~ and when I say worked, I mean WORKED. I had one of those careers that caused me to lose myself as well as my time with my son. My divorce happened when he was only 6 months, so being a single mom I tried to over-compensate... (at least that's my excuse!:rolleyes: )

I tell you all this, because I fell hard in life... one of those lessons that God used to bring me back into perspective ~ and that is when I met my husband. ON-LINE :eek: Yeah, I know, everyone always says "What?" He lived here in good ol' Missouri and 6 months after trips back and forth, we got married.

We had a glorious wedding in Hawaii on the beach, but for some crazy reason we took all the kids (he has 3 of his own) so the honeymoon was interesting! God still had his plan though, and along came my newest addition to the family, my babygirl Shyla. I now am a SAHM with a 14 mo old; a 6,7 & 8 year old (all boys) and a 14 year old step daughter. Life is wonderful! :angel:

I decided that after many many years of going to PC parties - buying and LOVING the products... that when I saw a van in the MC'D's parking lot with the PC logo... POUNCE! My director say's I'm her easiest recruit!

So here I am - S..L..O..W..L..Y :D but surely on my way to conference this year (wave 3). I have one recruit and really rocked my first 30 days, but seem to have gotten in a slump again. I need to break out of my fear of rejection and just get out there more.

My town is extremely small (600 or so?) ~ and the travel is extensive to get where the masses are... so any ideas of marketing are greatly appreciated! I look forward to meeting everyone and hope soon enough I can contribute as much as I take!

God Bless...
Prayers for Paige! (The candle idea is so great!)

Welcome to our little asylum. ;) Be sure to check out The Hitchhiker's Guide to CS and have a good time while you're here!I usually advise newbies to read more, post less, but in your case, it's too late anyway.

Welcome Laura!

Glad to hear that God used difficult circumstances to get you where you are today! He does that with most of us, I think!! LOL

Good luck with your PC business!
