Shelf Reliance

It's the HOT,NEWcraze...in Utah!  What you ask,  hosting a food storage party. Not only am I having a party, but I am becoming a consultant, with my girlfreind Celeste for Shelf Reliance. 
WE ARE SO EXCITED!
Shelf Reliance not only sells shelving units, but the Thrive food line. And the best part...when you attend the parties, you get a "party price."  A normal 72" Harvest shelving unit sells for $459.99 reg. At a party, you pay ONLY $298.99!  Thats a SAVINGS of $161.00!!!  The Thrive product is also cheaper at the parties.  We tried the fantastic freeze dried pineapple chunks - so yummy!  Reg $36.12 - party price $26.37
If you have not had the opportunity to attend one of these parties yet, it doesn't surprise me.  It is so new, they only have over 100 consultants. We are so excited to grab on, and show you what we have to offer.
We attended a party last night, and left so excited for my food storage.  I set up a "Q."  This allows me to get my family food storage for all 5 of us, within our budget.  I set up a monthly amount I can afford, and it ships part of my Q to me each month.  My Q is for 3 months food storage, my budget is $75 per month, and I will get shipments for 28 months. You can personalize it however you would like, for as much as you would like.

Are you ready to get as excited as us?

When: Friday April 2, 2010
Where: Margaret's
7771 South 400 West, Paradise

pay it forward

In the month of January I wrote a post about my mother - and how I felt about death.  Just last week I wrote another post about this sweet little angel here at the apartment community that I manage.  Most of those responses were something to the extent of me being a great friend and person....and I feel the need to clarify.
I was not looking for a pat on the back, I just wanted write my feelings out.  I had so many thoughts and emotions.  I was so thankful that I could be there for Jennifer that day - and that I could "pay it forward."
The day my mother passed, she was here with me at work.  It all happened so quickly.  I had to rely on friends to find and take care of my children until I could get home.  I was not in the frame of mind to be worried about those things.
I, personally, was grateful that I could help someone else in such a stressful time.  I felt joy and comfort knowing that I was doing for someone that had once been done for me.
Today I attended the funeral. If funerals could be called uplifting - this was one!  WOW!  Both mom and dad were the speakers, and they did an AMAZING job. They are spiritually in such a wonderful place.  I do not doubt that days and nights will be hard, more tears will be shed, and days will sometimes be filled with anger.  These are natural emotions. (I still yell at the heavens)
When my mother passed I learned some very VALUABLE lessons in life.  EVERYONE NEEDS SOMEONE!  So many came to my rescue.  I never knew until then how even a simple card would mean so much. 
Pay it forward!  When you have a thought to call someone, drop a little note, or visit them - DO IT!  They may need it more than you can imagine.
