God uses so many different ways to encourage us. I guess He knows how easily swayed we can be by what is going on around us and uses as many was as He can to love on us!
Last week, I sent the following email to my former co-workers at Ken Davis Productions:
Hi all!
Just wanted to fill you all in on what I’m up to! You may have already seen some of my blog posts, but here is the latest announcing the business venture that my friend Peggy and I are entering into: http://wp.me/p1Mf6Y-2J
I also start the Mobile Loan Closing business as a Notary as soon as Williamson County “does their thing”.
Not really sure where the “booking thing” is going at this point. (In here was some info that I’m deleting to “protect those involved” 🙂 ) I’m waiting to see how my other endeavors go before deciding how hard to push with diving back into the “booking world”. Those doors just don’t seem to be “flying open” as I had hoped.
Maybe God has different plans! I’m trying to be patient as I wait and see!
Hope you all are well. I miss you!
Thanks,
Carol
In response to that email, I got this one from Ken. Ken is the Christian Comedian and motivational speaker that I worked with for almost 6 years.
Carol,
Thanks for the update. Remember the elevator story and keep looking behind you, a door can open at any time. When things slow down here I hope we can connect and give you a proper send off. You know, fire works, gold watch, etc, etc.
Ken
Rather than try to inadequately fill in the details of that story, here is a link to it. This will take you less than 2 mins to listen to. It’s worth it, I promise: The Elevator Story
What a wonderful reminder! There are doors that I was SURE were God’s plan for me that don’t appear to be opening. There are OTHERS that seem so far “out there” that seem to be FLYING open. Truthfully, the hard part is knowing which door handles to turn… 🙂
In the meantime, I’m really just along for the ride. But then again, that’s really ALWAYS true, isn’t it?
I am so grateful to have those in my life who are willing to pour advice like this into me! I do not take for granted the fact that I am super blessed in that area.
I just did my first Super Coupon Clippers event yesterday. It went GREAT and the ladies had very nice things to say! Mary, my hostess, was so excited when I left and it was so much fun to see each one of the ladies have some of those “AH-HA” moments. They are all experienced in using coupons, but they each walked away having learned something that they said they were SURE would make a significant impact in their budgets. THAT is what I hope to continue to hear as we move forward. I’m excited. Can you tell?
As I’ve mentioned before, a part of Super Coupon Clippers will be the products that we sell as representatives for an organizational company called Clever Container. I just got some information this afternoon that I’m excited about, but which also threw me for a bit of a loop. I KNOW that people are going to LOVE these products and I was VERY impressed by the sample kit I received. These are some GREAT, QUALITY products that I am proud to make available to you.
Here is the info that I posted on Facebook this afternoon:
I just found out that I can give myself a raise in what I earn by selling Clever Container products if I sell at least $600 by October 31st. There are three ways you can help: 1-Look through and place an order on my website at the link below ASAP, 2- you can host a catalog or in-home party that closes before the 31st OR 3-host a Super Coupon Clippers party before October 31st (I’ll bring the catalog and samples to any SCC party!) THANK YOU in advance! Any income helps, but giving myself a raise as I START a new opportunity helps even more! 🙂
OH, AND please pass this link on to anyone you know who might be interested! You can order on the site and have everything delivered to your front door within a week, so ANYONE can help! Thanks again!
This threw me for a loop because it is so close to the end of the month and I have a very full couple of weeks as we wrap up the month WITHOUT throwing in a couple of Clever Container parties. I am REALLY hoping to concentrate more on Super Coupon Clippers and selling Clever Container materials at THOSE, but I am more than willing to do Clever Container parties by themselves if the interest is there!
Here is the link: Clever Container
And just FYI, here is the October Customer Special, good through Oct. 31st:
October 2011 Clever Container Customer Special
Whether you order or not, I would LOVE to get your input on the products that you see in the catalog! Which is your favorite? Are there items you would like to have on a “wish list” for gift ideas for family and friends? Please comment below, email me or send me a private Facebook message. I’m anxious to hear from you!
Remember, ANY purchase helps me pay my bills! 😉
Thanks so much for caring enough to read these ramblings and any help you can give is appreciated more than you’ll ever know!
