TODAY'S INSPIRATION
Today I got my first newsletter from the director of Thirty-one and there was a
wonderful story in it that I felt like needed to be shared with all , hope you find this as encouraging as I did .....
One of the most wonderful things about having a positive attitude is the number of people it touches, many times in ways you'll never know.
Recently, I stopped by a convenience store to get a newspaper and a pack of gum. The young woman at the check-out counter said, "That'll be five dollars please," and as I reached into my wallet, the thought occurred to me that a newspaper and gum didn't quite make it to five dollars. When I looked up to get a "re-quote", she had a big smile on her face and said, "Gotcha! I got to get my tip in there somehow!" I laughed when I knew I'd been had. She then glanced down at the paper I was buying and said, "I'm sick and tired of all this negative stuff on the front pages. I want to read some good news for a change." She then said, "In fact, I think someone should just publish a Good News newspaper -a paper with wonderful, inspirational stories about people overcoming adversity and doing good things for others. I'd buy one every day!" She then thanked me for coming in and said, "Maybe we'll get lucky tomorrow; maybe we'll get some good news," and she laughed. She made my day.
The following day after my business appointments, I dropped by the same store again to pick up bottled water, but a different young lady was behind the counter. As I checked out I said, "Good afternoon" and handed her my money for the water. She said nothing – not a word, not a smile...nothing. She just handed me my change and in a negative tone, ordered..."Next!"
It hit me right between the eyes: Two people, same age; one made me feel great, and the other, well, made me feel that I had inconvenienced her by showing up.
By the choices we make, by the attitudes we exhibit, we are influencing lives every day in positive or negative ways...our family, our peers, our friends, and even strangers we've never met before and will never meet again.
So when you brush your teeth every morning, and get ready for work, ask yourself this important question, "Who do I want to be today?" "The Grouch" or "The Good News Girl?" Your answer will go a long way toward determining your success in business and in life.

SELF SERVICE DOG WASH
Tonight I went to the local ballpark (Camp Jordan ) to watch the
7 and 8 yr old play ball . Well after the ballgame this lady was talking to me an d
my aunt and handed a me a card for a new place that is open in East Ridge
a self service dog wash
now this just sounded so funny to me all I could think about was putting a
dog on a belt and sending him/her thru the wash like you would a car , in
goes a dirty dog and out comes a nice clean happy one . But that is not the
case , this place has the tubs, water, shampoo and everything needed to make
you family member very happy and clean. The price is very reasonable or it
seems like it to me , $14 for a large dog includes the tub, water , shampoo,
shammi towel , and even a brush . I don't personally own a dog but I do
know that sounds like a great deal for all the stuff to bath your dog. I hope
my friend reads this and take Diesel to try out the self-service dog wash . Oh
and make sure and let me know what Diesel thinks about it .

BRAGGING A LITTLE
I have to brag a little bit on myself I just completed and submitted my
very first order ( even before I received my kit) and I am proud to say
it was over 200.00 which is the required amount to submit an order for
me to receive a commission check. I am very proud of myself .
I know that might not sound like a very big thing to all of you but to me it
is amazing and make me very proud of myself . Now that I have one small
goal under my belt it is now time to think about the next step . I have
40 days to complete 5 more orders/parties and when I am able to do
that then I get all sorts of bonuses along the way especially for every
two qualifing orders submitted I earn products to help my business
along the way . So now that I have bored you with all of my bragging
I will stop for the night . But just remember if you would like to
order or receive a catalog or hopefully book a party please leave
me a message . Thanks ahead of time.

NEWEST HOBBY/THIRTY-ONE GIFTS
Well I have now taken the plunge and started a new hobby/business . I am
now an offical Thirty-One consultant. I honestly thing this will be a great
past time for me. I am not necessarily looking to make a ton of money
but if that happens then that would be great as well . But I truly love the
products they offer as well as the company being faith based . Also it is
a company mainly for women but also created by women .Which I am a
firm believer that women can do anything they set their minds to . So
wish me all the best of luck , say a prayer for me and hopefully you
would like to place an order , book a party or even host a catalog show
if so please leave a comment and I will be glad to help you out .
