The response to my NEW business has taken off like I never would have dreamed and I need to focus on that, In fact I promoted today to Director.....I'm loving every minute of it.

So my PC website is active for a few more months and I do have an active wedding registry going on at the moment and will take individual orders...but no more shows. I'm content, I've done alot of praying and I know I'm doing the right thing. PC was a big part of my life for 4 1/2 years (you all too....), but its time to move on.

I wish you all continued success and will check in here from time to time....and I'm loving the ones of you that are my facebook friends!

Blessings to all of you! Cindy :balloon:

Wait, I'm confused. Your PC business is taking off and you promoted to Director? Or another business. :) Either way, congrats on the success and good luck w/ all you do!
 
confused me too until you made your comment. So I reread her post again and it sounds like she has another new business.

Great for you Cindy - Congratulations!

P.S. I'd love to know what you're doing too - PM me:)
 
Now I am curious! PM me too :D
 
PM me too!! I am the one who loves Nicholas Sparks and I know many of his stories are set in New Bern!!! In fact I have to check his website to see if he has written another book this year. For the last two years I have had people get them for me for either my birthday or Christmas! I love his books!

I know there is a new movie out, not with one of his stories, but in the promo it says..."the same director who directed The Notebook"! I have helped build this house he is creating! Miley would be a good person in his movie because she has been a pretty down to earth young lady.

Cindy,

You do have to visit once-in-awhile. . .every time I see your granddaughter (?) with her head in the colander, I laugh out loud. :)

Good luck with your new venture!
 
looks like you should have just posted your new adventure here...lol...now everyone wants to know. Does that make us nosey? haha Good luck in your new business.
 
PM me too!!
 
Can you just hint?? Inquiring minds want to know... Good luck in your new adventure!!
 
I don't see anything wrong with posting your new venture. Its not a competing company. I have also moved on to something else but I couldn't leave PC cold turkey I love the company and the products too much. Luckily the company I joined allows me to be signed up with another company even as I move up. It was very smart to try the other until you were sure that was a better fit for you. I did the same but I must admit there a lot of things I wish was like PC, then it would be perfect. :)
 
The last time someone posted where they were going it turned into a big ugly mess, I wouldn't do it if I were you. Too many peple might take it as 'self-promotion' and I for one would hate to see you banned from CS.
 
You've got a point there Linda, better safe than sorry!! :)

I know what you mean. To be successful you have to focus on one. I am only doing catalog shows, no more cooking shows. My team went to a wonderful Director so they will be well taken care of. I will remain active to keep up with the latest recipes and gadgets.
