So, the travel thing has been a flop. You can't really be productive with something if you don't believe in it...if you're not passionate about it. I was not.
I have found something that I most definitely AM passionate about, though. I have (as of today) become an independent consultant for Tastefully Simple. It is a taste-testing, home party company where I get paid to share something that I am passionate about...fantastically good food! From mixes to spices, it's fabulous. Don't believe me? Come to my open house on Saturday, 12/12/2009 from 10 am to 1 pm to find out for yourself! There will be many samples to try and it will help me get my business blasted off! It's come and go, so...well, come and go as you please. BUT, when you come, come hungry. You won't be disappointed!
What's that? Oh, you live out of town, but love the product and/or want to help me get started? Well, go browse online at http://www.tastefullysimple.com/ and then email me what you'd like to order. No, don't order online, silly. Then, nobody gets credit and you have to pay a ton more for shipping than you would have had to otherwise! It's seriously like a $5+ difference in shipping.
The prices range from like $6.99 to $10 for individual items and the gift sets start there and go up. WAY affordable and WAY delish. Check it out.

PRAYERS FOR MY S-I-L and little "sis"
Hey, everyone. My sister-in-law, Laura...Dustin's wife, is pregnant at somewhere around 18 weeks. She has had a bad case of the flu and they are assuming it is H1N1. I don't know if they've run a test or are planning to, but this is the word I've got...most likely H1N1. Because it is super dangerous for pregnant women to have it, as it depletes the immune system and usually causes them to get other things like pneumonia, they are pretreating her for pneumonia. The pneumonia is what is super dangerous and life-threatening once the system is depressed and the pneumonia attacks. SO, it is a very dangerous situation and we are asking for prayers that she regain her health quickly and that she and the baby are both alright despite the medications, fevers, etc.
Now, my sister's best friend, Bri, who has always been my other little sis, has had a very tough start to her week. Sunday night, her aunt unexpectedly passed away. If you've been a follower of my blog since it started, this might sound familiar. About 2-2.5 years ago, her uncle died very suddenly. They have both been linked to a seizure disorder. It came about very unexpectedly both times and has been so difficult for them all. They were the 2 youngest children in the family...though they were adults. She has 3, teenaged children that she has left behind. Please pray for the entire family as they deal with another sudden loss and for those kids as they go through possibly the toughest stage of life while dealing with this loss.
Thanks guys. I'm praying for both of you, if you read this.
On a different note, Mark's painting opportunities in KC have come to an end. He is coming home today. We'll see what tomorrow holds......

A brief silence
I'm going to have no internet connection until Monday or so...unless I check my email at mom's or something. SO, if you need to get ahold of me, just give me a ring. I WILL have phone service. I'm getting really excited as I see this new company in action. I'm seeing people above me make money and I'm getting PUMPED! I would be so happy if I only cycled once and got 1 $10,000 check. More than that would just be gravy!
Anyway, "see" y'all next week. Peace out for now...

TVI REVIEW
Here is a link to the citizen corp review about TVI...giving them a 5-star rating. They review thousands of home-based businesses and found TVI worthy of 5 stars!

AMAZING opportunity that is PERFECT for YOU
Hey, everyone! I am super excited and I want to share it ASAP with each of you. I have signed onboard with a company that is flying into the next decade with excitement, speed, and TRAVEL! I'm talking about TVI. It is the new venture that I mentioned in my post a few back. It is all about travel...the trillion dollar industry that let's us see the WORLD! I am so excited because of the benefits of TVI and the fact that you put a little in to start and you get a whole lot out of it as a reward. What is the "work" involved? Talking to friends and travelling. Seriously. I'm not selling a product. I'm not talking to strangers. I'm not calling random people. I'm talking to YOU, my friends and family, and the only thing I'm selling is FREE TRAVEL and money in exchange for you talking to your friends and families.
I have an awesome video that I'll link to here so that you can see the information for yourself. It is simply a $300 investment to start with the company and, in return, you get a free week of travel to anywhere you want to go. It is SO worth the $300, as you're getting so much more than that in return!
What is the company paying for? Word-of-mouth advertising. They want me to promote the business to you, you to promote the business to your cousin, and your cousin to promote the business to her aunt. If that chain continues on and on, they grow and the money that they would have used on advertising goes into the pocket of their word-of-mouthers!
I'm sure you're thinking exactly what I thought: "Where's the catch?" Seriously...there isn't one. You all know me and you know that I'm a straight-shooting, Christian woman. I wanted to fully check it out before I proposed the idea to ANYONE. There is a company that evaluates home-based businesses. They call this one a scam, this one not-workable, this one possible with hard work, etc. You and I both know that there are THOUSANDS of home-based businesses out there...specifically internet-based. Here's what is encouraging to me. TVI was given a FIVE STAR rating by this company. It is one of only TWO...that's right TWO five-star ratings that they have EVER given and this company earned one. Not because they get your money and leave you hanging. Not because they get you all amped and in the program and then let you drift aimlessly. Not because it is a get-rich-quick scheme (though you can and most likely WILL make money very quickly). They earned the rating because it is a business model that makes sense both for me, the promoter, and the company itself. I'm not joking, people, they have given away YACHTS for incentives for the highly motivated. When you reach a certain point, you pick a BMW, Mercedes, or Audi and those goals are NOT sky-high and impossible. They are very, VERY possible.
OK...I'm getting waaaaaaay ahead of myself. Here's what I'd like you to do if you're even the tiniest bit interested. Go to this link: www.meetplanb.com/eng/ltv and watch the video. It is 13 or so minutes long, but it might be the most important 13 minutes of your year. If your interest is peaked, I would suggest watching it again...or at least the business model part, as it can be confusing on first glance. I fully grasp the concept now, but it took 2 times watching and one personal explanation because I'm not business-minded. THEN, if you're interested in learning more and/or signing up, shoot me and email or give me a call. If you don't know my email/phone number, shoot me a message and I'll get it to you. What I would ask, though, is that you talk to me before filling out any forms on this site. I want you to make sure that you KNOW what is going on. That you KNOW what you're signing up for. Also, I need you to talk to me first so that you're put on my team when we do get you signed up. Other than that, it's just a matter of talking to people and then watching your checks start coming in!
So, watch the vid and then I'll be waiting to hear from you!

Because CHRISTMAS is just around the corner...
[EDIT] The owners over at A New Creation have sent me a promo code especially for YOU guys to get a 20% off discount when you order from them. When you go to check out, put HOLIDAY20 as the discount code and you'll automatically get 20% off your order. They also have some exciting options this year including photo cards (w/ envelope), front and back flat cards (w/ envelope), and postcards. They will design anything you can dream up and are happy to help you come up with a design to fit your needs! Don't forget about their full-service option that I explain at the end of this post! It doesn't get any better than that! :) Oh, and don't forget to comment that I sent you! They love to know where their business is coming from!
I just wanted to send a little reminder to everyone of an awesome, Christian-owned card company for Christmas cards, invitations, birth announcements, etc. They are a fully customizable company and love to do customized orders. I am not compensated for my advertising in any way, I just believe in the awesome products produced by A New Creation. In case the linky doesn't work, it is http://www.makemeanewcreation.com/. They did my Christmas Cards last year. They also made the most gorgeous wedding invites, save the dates, reply cards, maps (x2), and envelopes for my sister's wedding. They were fabulous and 100% custom between the designers and my sister. Think it cost a fortune??? Think again! They were cheaper than any other that my sister found and definitely the most user-friendly, pro-customer satisfaction company that she could find. I would HIGHLY recommend you to take a look for your holiday cards this year. They also do wedding, as I mentioned, baby announcements, graduation, party, and anything else you could need in the photo greeting or regular 'ol invitation/announcement department. Ordering off of the internet is a scary business these days, but this is one product and company that I know will provide you with 100% satisfaction!
I just wanted to say, again, that I am not affiliated with them and do not get money for this post. I simply want to help them grow, and grow, and grow!
Oh, I forgot to mention their full-service option. You send them the address list and they address, return-address, stuff the envelopes, lick the envelopes, stamp the envelopes, and mail them for you! All for a very reasonable *small* fee.
So, go check them out and tell them that Devon sent you! :)

New Venture
Hello, all. For those of you that have FB, you've probably seen my somewhat cryptic posts and I'm here to tell you that this will be more of the same...sorta. I am starting a new business venture that looks to be a great opportunity for just about ANYONE. I just don't want to start recruiting others until I know how legit it is and how profitable it is, you know? Also, I'm still learning the ins and outs of what my role will be as it is, so it would be sort of the blind leading the blind. SO, be looking for updates on the exciting opportunity as I have more info to share. Thanks for your support!
