Learning not to condemn, criticize, or complain
Today while I was waiting in the dentist for my youngest daughter to get her two teeth put back together I started a new book that was recommended by a friend of mine on facebook. I realize probably everyone has read this but I have not. The book is "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie.
You see in my business as a distributor now for Xyngular I am having to learn how to socialize on the computer more. Actually it is quite fun and I love to meet new people out there from all over the world. I have made so many wonderful connections and have learned so much about social networking. I thought I knew facebook, twitter, linkedin, and myspace but, I am quickly realizing I really knew only a chip of these amazing vehicles to the social world.
What drives me to succeed in this business initially was so I could stay at home with my girls. I needed to replace my income as a therapist for children with autism. I am almost there in actually only one month in the business. I love that I can help people achieve their weight loss goals, their financial success, and that I get to actually go to my girls school now to eat lunch with them during the day.
So, back to the book. (Just a reminder I warned you early on I go all over the place) As I was reading the first chapter I ran across a poem / story. I want to share it with you. It brought a few tears to my eyes as I sat there in the corner of the dentist office as my little one laid there getting work done.
I think everyone with our without children should really take a moment and let this sink in. Ask yourself if you are in the habit of criticizing all the time? Stop and really take a look and listen to yourself. Are you? If so, what has this habit done to you? You know the habit of finding fault.
As I have always said to my friends who are going through issues with another ask yourself why? Why is this person behaving this way and try to understand them.
Here it is:
Father Forgets
by W. Livingston Larned
Listen, son; I am saying this as you lie asleep, one little paw crumpled under your cheek and the blond curls stickily wet on your damp forehead. I have stolen into your room alone. Just a few minutes ago, as I sat reading my paper in the library, a stifling wave of remorse swept over me. Guiltily I came to your bedside.
There are things I was thinking, son: I had been cross to you. I scolded you as you were dressing for school because you gave your face merely a dab with a twoel. I took you to task for not cleaning your shoes. I called out angrily when you threw some of your things on the floor.
At breakfast I found fault, too. You spilled things. You gulped down your food. You put your elbows on the table. You spread butter too thick on your bread. And as you started off to play and I made for my train, you turned and waved a hand and called, "Goodbye, Daddy!" and I frowned, and said in reply, "Hold your shoulders back!"
Then it began all over again in the late afternoon. As I came Up the road, I spied you, down on your knees, playing marbles. There were holes in your stockings. I humiliated you before you boyfriends by marching you ahead of me to the house. Stockings were expensive - and if you had to buy them you would be more careful! Imagine that, son, form a father!
Do you remember, later, when I was reading in the library, how you came in timidly, with a sort of hurt look in your eyes? When I glanced up over my paper, impatient at the interruption, you hesitated at the door. "What is it you want?" I snapped.
You said nothing, but ran across in one tempestuous plunge, and threw your arms around my neck and kissed me, and your small arms tightened with an affection that God had set blooming in your heart and which even neglect could not wither. And then you were gone, pattering up the stairs.
Well, son, it was shortly afterwards that my paper slipped from my hands and a terrible sickening fear came over me. What has habit been doing to me? The habit of finding fault, of reprimanding - this was my reward to your for being a boy. It was not that I did not love you; it was that I expected too muchof youth. I was measuring you by the yardstick of my own years.
And there was so much that was good and fine and true in yourcharacter. The little heart of you was as big as the dawn itself overthe wide hills. This was shown by your spontaneous impulse to rush in and kiss me good night. Nothing else matters tonight, son. I have come to your bedside in the darkness, and I have knelt there, ashamed!
It is a feeble atonement; I know you would not understand these things if I told them to you during your waking hours. But tomorrow I will be a real daddy! I will chum with you, and suffer when you suffer, and laugh when you alugh. I will bite my tongue when impatient words come. I will keep saying as if it were a ritual: "He is nothing buy a boy - a little boy!"
I am afraid I have visualized you as a man. Yet as I see you now, son, crumpled and weary in your cot, I see that you are still a baby. Yesterday you were in your mother's arms, your head on her shoulder. I have asked too much, too much.

A little worried
Well this year has been a rough year for my oldest daughter. She is in 5th grade and I don't know what it is, though I do suspect, but these girls are getting quite mean. Not Megan, but her friends. One day they are friends and the next she comes home telling me they snuffed her off. I am at a lost and fearful at the same time.
Probably did not help that I picked up the latest gossip magazine only to read about a girl who committed suicide because she was bullied in her school. It tears my heart apart and I feel so bad for those parents. I could not imagine the pain they must be going through and the pain this poor girl was going through to want to commit suicide.
My solution today is to go eat lunch with her at her school. She really enjoys this and if this is what helps her then by all means I am on board! You see the other day her "so called" friends started to sit with her then ran off to another table and left her alone. Now a few others girls came up and sat with her which I was thankful to hear but it broke my heart. She doesn't understand.
I think I might but I can't change Megan. She is who she is. She is a bit socially awkward, I guess. She is naive I would say. Talks a lot and hold an enormous amount of information that most girls her age are really not interested in. You see she is a walking encyclopedia. She finds science and how things are made fascinating!
I do know in the long run if I can just get her there she will be a much brighter and wiser person if she just can hang on to her identity. Hopefully it won't get squashed by all these girly girls who feel the need to gossip about one another and switch friends weekly.
So, today is a sad day for me. I am worried. I am concerned. I am scared. All these emotions and I just want to protect her. She is the most loving and caring child you will ever meet and sadly that does not make her popular.
With that said....I am off now to eat lunch with her.
Till...next time.

Where did the day go?
I woke up at 6:30 am this morning to fix my sweet girls their lunch and quickly hurried back to bed. I was quite tired from being up in the middle of the night with an upset stomach. I had a grilled chicken sandwich yesterday that didn't sit well.
So, now I am wondering where the day went? I still haven't showered and the girls are about to be home any minute now. Can I get a few more hours please? I think I was productive so far today. I woke up at 9:30am, checked emails, exchanged a bit of conversation with a friend who is adding Xyng to her weight loss journey, and a bit of social marketing. Hmmmm, that doesn't sound very productive. Now I don't feel too good about myself.
I am looking at a house that needs to be cleaned, I need to shower, I need to run errands, and I need to go running. I can tell you right now the running part for today is taking a back seat. I sure hope I don't regret that later.
I really don't have too much to say today but wanted to get in some thoughts on paper right now. I did experience something yesterday which had me reach down deep into my mind to help a friend make sense of some things.
You see this person had a bad blow twice this week. Sometimes we don't understand why these horrible things happen to us and we ask ourselves why? Through my life experiences I have learned the answer to why? When I heard this person had a horrible day again I dropped everything, which meant skipping a class, to be with him. I explained to him that even though these horrible things happened to him they can walk away and learn from the experience. They will now have the knowledge to take with them in their next adventure. That experience will make them a better, wiser person. Without this bad experience it may of hindered him from the new bigger better adventure.
Does this make sense? It's like that quote I see circulating around all the time about sometimes we stare at the closed door so long that we don't see the one that has opened. This is true and somehow that is what I was trying to convey to this person. I think without life experiences we can't be a better person. We have to close the door and move on to better things.
We must always remember that even when it seems so bad that things can't get any worse there are reasons as to why it happened. Those reasons are usually seen later in life when you realize what you have would not have been obtained had you of not fallen down way back when.
For me, I wouldn't be where I am and with the family I have now had my path of not brought me here to where I am today. I can always look back and now understand why I had to go through the things I went through in my past. I have learned and am a much wiser person. I am able to help so many just from my own experiences.
So when you are hit hard always remember their is a bigger and better reason as to why it happened and look forward to seeing why one day.

I feel like a kid in a candy store!
Today I went to have lunch with my adorable little Kenzie at her school. It was quite an experience. In fact, the last ten minutes of lunch was a silent lunch. I leaned over to Kenzie and asked her if I had to be quiet and she quickly told me yes. Really? I'm not in school! I wanted to just talk really loud just to see if I would get in trouble. I elected not to since I would have embarrassed my child and she would of banned me from lunch with her.
Anyways....I got home, packed up some samples of Xyng to send out to my friends. I walked out the front door to the mailbox and to my surprise I saw two BIG boxes from Crate and Barrel! Presents???? Oh boy!!! This is really happening I thought! I am really getting married! Our first present sitting right there on the front porch! I called Bill right away and told him the awesome news! "Come home, so we can open them!"
Okay...now it is an hour later. No Bill as of yet. Honestly, I knew he wasn't really coming home to open up the presents with me but it would have been fun. So, now I just wait, looking at two beautifully wrapped presents. Feeling just like a kid on Christmas morning. Feeling giddy like a kid in a candy store.
Wait! Etiquette, etiquette, etiquette! Can we actually open them? Do we wait till after the wedding? If we do open them now, do we not use them till after the wedding? But, if we don't open them now won't the sender think maybe it didn't arrive or that we are being rude for not acknowledging? Oh the questions! Then there are the thank you cards! I have to shop for those right now! What kind will I get?
Wow, so many decisions and I must contact my friend Jules. I bet she knows. She knows everything. Either her or I am about to dive into google and research the correct etiquette for receiving presents months before our wedding.
Till next time.....

The Hardest part of This Business
Good Morning. I have been wanting to write about this for a few days now but have been trying to get it all together first in my head. So here is a warning up front: I probably will be all over the page here and quite possibly not getting to the point of what I am trying to say. I hope you get it!
First off I had to crack up laughing at my friend Allison this morning who is a distributor above me. She just emailed me and said, "Hey, I don't understand this compensation plan with Xyngular, but I like it!" I just love it and had a chuckle! Gotta love Allison!
I tried to explain it to her the other night after I figured it out and she must not of been listening or quite possibly it was the wine. Well at least she is happy with her daily checks she is receiving! The more I grow with this company the I love it.
Which brings me to my topic. I think the hardest part of this business for me is the fine line between selling and helping others achieve their weight loss goals. One thing I do know is I would do this for free. The checks are nice though. My family in California I know have no clue what I am doing and quite honestly I believe are shaking their heads. That's okay! I'll get to them later and they will see the proof is in the pudding!
I am, as I will tell you right now, a natural helper. Most of my friends know this and I would drop everything for them just to listen to their problems. I would not consider myself a pleaser but someone who truly cares about people and if I can make a difference in their life I will. Rather it be big or small. So, I believe that is what makes me successful in this business.
Part of this job with Xyngular allows me to do this something that was an added bonus when I signed up. What I find hard in my job is when I am telling my friends and family about the Core 4 - 30 day weight loss plan. I worry at times that they think I am just trying to make a sale. That is really why I wait for them to come to me. I personally know I am not just trying to make a sale because I tried the products, seen the results and am still using the products myself. I definitely do not want to promote something without knowing how good it is. In fact I respect when someone tells me before they decide to sell for Xyngular they want to try it first! I would just feel horrible selling a lie.
Which brings me back to the hard part. What do I do? Do I really need to do anything different? I can honestly say it is working for me. The struggle I have is convincing people who truly have tried everything that this stuff is great and it works! It is easy! You don't have to change how you eat! You don't have to change anything! Who wouldn't want that?
So see here I go again! I feel like I am trying to sell you something by talking about how awesome it is! What I want EVERYONE to know right now is I love this job and I love sharing! This is not about the sale it is about making difference in your life and helping you obtain your weight loss goals! Anyone can do it! Once the sale is even made I am constantly checking in on your progress because I truly care.
You see I know I don't have to explain that to the people that are already using Core 4 because of me! I am only having to explain that to the people who are thinking about it!
The products are tailored to each person's needs. For me I just use the accelerate and cheat. That's all I need. It gives me energy and helps me maintain my weight. My mom uses accelerate, xyng, flush and cheat and she lost in her first week 6 pounds. I can't wait to hear about week two! Allison and Jules do the entire system! They are experiencing the most dramatic results.
The bonus to all this is when I see them get excited, like my friend Farrah, and the light bulb goes on in her head. She just signed up to buy then realized, like I did and so many others, that she wants to share this with the world! She had to go back and re sign up as a distributor!
So, when I tell you just go ahead and do the distributor you can see why I say this. She is not the first of my friends to change their mind and as we climb to the top we get to go together!
We don't rely on a downline! Downline??? What is that?? We rely on our team! We rely on quick starts! We rely on the company revenue and bonuses to put those checks in our pockets daily! That my friend is why this company is sooooo GREAT!!
Ooops there I go again getting all excited and talking away! What I am learning is just be myself! Be honest, true and it will come. That's all I want and if I can continue to change lives that will always be enough for me.
Thanks for reading!!!

Just another Wednesday.....in fantasy baseball
Today is Wednesday and I am feeling quite motivated unlike Monday. Although Monday did end up turning into a crazy day with two new members signing up for the Core 4 program. I am excited and I can't wait to start hearing their testimony.
So, I play in a fantasy baseball league and I am learning real fast that I don't like playing in the same league wiyh my fiance, Bill. You see he doesn't play by MY rules. The rules are as follows:
1. You don't pick someone up off the waiver till you have checked with me to make sure I am not wanting him first.
2. You don't beat me when we play each other because.....well.....it just wouldn't be very polite.
3. When you discover something about a player you must first share it with me and give me first dibs.
Pretty simple eh? I think that is fair. Don't you?
Well, today I went in to pick up a different catcher because I wasn't feeling it with Kurt Suzuki.
A day or so ago I was telling Bill how I was looking at Miguel Montero (had him last year) and Ryan Doumit. Both look like they are off to a much better start than my pitcher. Well, this is all about winning so I go in this morning and see that Montero has been picked up. Okay, I am thinking that's okay because that just made my decision a little easier and I'll get Ryan Doumit! Yeah!!!! I even told Bill that Montero got picked up.
So, I go in to yahoo to perform my miraculous pick up and got distracted because Bill needed to get on the computer to set his team for the day. I was very kind and let him do this ;). Uh huh....about an hour ago I just went in to pick up my catcher and guess who got him? Yep, you guessed it, Bill.
Really? Did he not hear me? He just text me after I told him what he did and he said I never said anything about a catcher. Then what was I talking about? How cute David Wright is? How I can't stand Pedroia? NO!!!! I was telling him about the catcher I needed.
Now did we forget the rules?
Well the ugly competitive side has come out in me and reared it's ugly head. Ha! Just for that I hope Doumit falls into a slump! heehee.
Okay, okay.....I am not this bad. The story is true but not the part about me appearing mad at Bill. Maybe just a little. I'm a little spoiled and one sided when it comes to things I have to compete at! I don't like to lose!!! Bill can vouch for this. I probably would not bother to admit this to you but I have a few friends on here that know me all too well. They would totally call me out on this.
That's okay, I don't need that catcher! I have the Yankees closer and he rocks along with Youk!
So, I play in a fantasy baseball league and I am learning real fast that I don't like playing in the same league wiyh my fiance, Bill. You see he doesn't play by MY rules. The rules are as follows:
1. You don't pick someone up off the waiver till you have checked with me to make sure I am not wanting him first.
2. You don't beat me when we play each other because.....well.....it just wouldn't be very polite.
3. When you discover something about a player you must first share it with me and give me first dibs.
Pretty simple eh? I think that is fair. Don't you?
Well, today I went in to pick up a different catcher because I wasn't feeling it with Kurt Suzuki.
A day or so ago I was telling Bill how I was looking at Miguel Montero (had him last year) and Ryan Doumit. Both look like they are off to a much better start than my pitcher. Well, this is all about winning so I go in this morning and see that Montero has been picked up. Okay, I am thinking that's okay because that just made my decision a little easier and I'll get Ryan Doumit! Yeah!!!! I even told Bill that Montero got picked up.

Case of the Mondays....
It's Monday and I am waiting for my motivation to show up. I have a long list of things to do and if this motivation does not show up at my door soon I am going to be sitting with this list in my lap Tuesday morning. Then on Tuesday I will only have more to add to the list.
Let's see: go to grocery store so we aren't eating dog food, go to lunch with Mackenzie, go to the gym, clean up this house, wash Megan's sheets, take Megan to the doctor, somewhere in there take a shower, take Megan to swim practice, check all my emails, set my fantasy team, pick up my prescription, go to the cleaners, reschedule my hair appt, order contacts, pay bills, and I am sure I am missing something else.
But....first!
A few thoughts from this weekend. I am really excited for my mother. She lost 6 pounds after starting the Core 4 for one week. It's so fun to see how excited she is now. She is telling all her friends about these products. Again....another person who gets excited as I do after feeling the success of the Core 4. Not only my mom but Farrah has lost another 2 lbs, my friend Cyndi has lost 5 pounds in one week and Allison has lost another 2 lbs. Way to go!
My only issue about the Cheat which is in the line of Core 4 products is the sprinkles wouldn't stick to the jelly beans I ate by the handful. So, I basically just opened up my mouth and poured jelly beans in and chased it down with a sprinkle or two of cheat. That's so wrong isn't it?
Another thought about this weekend is the Bodies exhibit we went to. There was a section in the exhibit on embryos and unborn babies. First of all let me say there was a big disclaimer telling guests that the things we were about to see had died from natural causes inside the woman. Okay, I thought. I am usually very hesitant about going forward when there must be a disclaimer.
So I processed it and decided it would be great to take the girls in and see what conception to birth looks like. I have to say this was the most amazing thing I have every seen. I mean I have seen pictures of this but to actually be able to look at it within inches of my eyes was astounding! The difference in a embryo at 8 weeks to 10 weeks was like night and day. The eight week was basically a small tissue and then boom 10 or maybe 12 weeks the baby was fully visible. My girls thought this was so cool! The exhibit was expensive but very interesting! I would say this was a 10.00 visit but hopefully our money was going to a good cause.
A few other notes from this weekend. I finally ate the best crawfish ever at a place called Nates! Even though I love crawfish I was not a fan of Nates as far as the atmosphere goes. But, at least I did it and got my fix!
We had a lazy Easter but not without 63 eggs stuffed with candy! Now it's time for me to get my act together and get this week started off right at the gym!
Till next time! Everyone have a great Monday!

A letter from my Mom
Oh how she is going to kill me for this! I just couldn't resist though. Here I am in the middle of 3 hours straight doing non stop work with this company and all of a sudden this shows up in my email! I did not ask for this testimony but this is the very reason why I love to sell this product!
This is from my Mom!
Michelle,
I got to tell you. I don't even wake up hungry anymore. I even went to the store and only bought good stuff, no junk. In fact, looking at the junk actually turned me off. I cannot believe someone has finally found a product that works. I'll owe you and your friends on this one. It is incredible how the negativity is gone too! What a mental breakthrough. I am even not worrying about the world as much. That is slowly going away. It is only a fleeting moment how and I move on! I know "Hooray!!!!!!!!" LOL! Can you tell I am running on Xyng and Accerlate!
Mom
Should she be on the cover of my website or what????? Yeah MOM!! You go girl!
Okay...I promise I am coming back to blog after I finish emailing all these people back requesting more information!!!
