Power HourHere is Belinda Ellsworth's website: www.stepintosuccess.com

I'm sure there's information about her Power Hour system and CD on there.

The one thing I didn't like about the CD is how she kept hawking her other courses throughout this one but there is good info on it.

Also, interestingly she got the power hour idea from a Pampered Chef director. Asked her for details, tweeked it and made it hers!
 
thanks beth...both for the website and your observations (self-promotion doesn't sit well with me either)
 
I didn't like the self promotion, but, she did seem excited about the other products!
 
I've been married for 31.

8 years and counting here too, but we got married on 9-11. :)

First dated in 1992, but then broke up and I swore I'd NEVER date him again...he was a jerk and needed to grow up...

Needless to say, he did... :love0010:

2nd time around he almost gave up asking me out though...it took 6 months of asking to finally get a date. :blushing:
 
We eloped to Vegas too, but not in March '95. We were both still in h.s. ;)

Jan. 1 '04. Celebrating 4 years coming up. We've been together since 10/24/03. Yep, dated for 3 weeks, got engaged, got married 6 weeks after that. :D
 
we just celebrated 20 years on June 13, we renewed our vows on our cruise June 15
We started "dating" when he was a freshman and I was in 6th grade
 
We celebrated 6 years of marital 'bliss' back in August of this year. We've been together for 7 1/2 years though and it's been one helluva journey together. LOL..
 
I've been married for 3 or 4 years. We got married with God on March 30, then a year later, on March 12, we got married in front of everyone with all the legal papers here, then July 18 we got married in the Chilean consulate office so the marriage was legal there too. I get 3 anniversary dinners a year.

Sweet! LOL... we have a bunch of what we call mini-anniversaries... we don't do anything big but we do remember things like the first day we met online, the first day we met in person, the day he moved in, our first day in court (his ex harassed us legally and financially for as long as she could... it's finally over just this month!! Yeah!), then there's our actual wedding anniversary. They all fall between May and August so it's fun to reflect and take little moments to 'remember when'... though we only do something 'big' for the actual wedding anniversary.

I had to laugh when I read this. A girl I know was talking about a conversation she had with her husband. They were discussing how long they had been married. She asked if he remembered how long they had been married. He said yes, it's 14 years. She was impressed that he remembered because he usually didn't remember things like that! He said "It doesn't feel like 14 years. It feels more like 14 minutes." She was thinking, "oh, that's so sweet". Then he added "under water".We just celebrated 20 years on October 24th.
