Happy New Year :) I have not been ignoring you all; I only have been pretty much checking to see if Lacy made it :p

I fudged a little: Sheri is my 'grandmother' director. Nancy Baron is my immediate upline, but Sheri is who works with me.

I know Yvonne, Betsy & Jen, too. Very special people - meant in the nicest way!

Jen is an example I give to my young Mom consultants :)

I am in Vermontville: about 55 miles SE from GR. Are you going to Leadership?


Hey Sallie!

Nancy Baron is JAE's Upline too - I know she borrows products from her sometimes! Small World!

I always look at Jen and all that she accomplishes and tell myself I have no reason not to succeed. It helps keep me from making excuses about my business.:rolleyes: (My director, Jen, has 5 young children, is a scout leader - boy & girl - , is also on her City Council, and helps her DH manage a running club & running camp. Plus some other stuff I am probably forgetting!

We've probably met before, but don't realize it! I've been to many trainings that Sheri has had - in fact, we have a regional training the last Saturday in January - will you be coming to that?

I'm not going to leadership - JUST qualified to go with a recruit who signed Dec. 31st :D but right after Christmas is a tough time to go - and Jen isn't going either.....big childcare issues for her, trying to find someone to watch her kids DH really can't because he is a teacher...
 
YES! I plan on coming to the regional in GR. It will be fun to meet & and see how often we have been together before :)

Congratulations on becoming a future, Becky. Enjoy your $100!! :love:

Hey JAE, will you be there, too?

Just to keep with the thread theme...
 
Um...which one is that? Is that the one at Betsy's? I'll be going to that one, but I don't see it on my calendar. Uh oh. When is it?

No, this is a regional training - at a church in GR - everyone under Sheri Klassen. Jen sent out a couple emails about it - I'm pretty sure you were on that email list. Your director probably didn't send any info. Anyway, it's Dat. January 26th from 9-12 (I think that's the correct time).
 
No, I won't be going to that one because I have a show. It was already booked way before I received the e-mail. My director is very out of touch. Her computer has died, too, so she's even more out of touch. When is the thing at Betsy's?

It's either Feb 11th or 18th. I want to say it's the 2nd Monday in February, but it may be the 3rd Monday....do you remember what it was in August? Was it the 2nd or 3rd Monday?

I'll email Jen and confirm, and let you know!
 
It's the 11th (2nd Monday). I just found it. I was looking in January.

I went to Tara Woodwards website site at conference 2 summers ago - I've kept hers bookmarked, it's a good site. She used to have forms on there that her team could print out. I'll have to take a look again.
