My Story or How I Got into Network Marketing

My story in regards to health and wellness goes back to when I was a teenager. Early on, I realised the connection between health and the environment. I understood the connection between me being healthy as long as the planet was healthy. I'd like to share that story and how it has transformed my life both personally and in my business life.

We lived in NYC when I was a teenager. The city actually picked up recycling. I can vividly remember having a little recycling area set up in the kitchen. My mother had plastic bags labeled: glass, tin, plastic. Every day we separated our used jars and bottles.

About this time (I was about 18); I started to become aware that my mother's attitude about eating did not contribute to her health. She was overweight and had high blood pressure. Her doctor insisted that she eat only non-fat or low-fat food items. This she did religiously.......she never lost weight, nor did her blood pressure decrease. I made the connection that her eating in such a way made her unhealthy. I started to purchase only whole foods and organic foods. I noticed immediately that my health improved in terms of energy, weight loss and generally feeling much better.

I have carried the idea of eating whole and organic foods with me throughout my adult years. Today I am a locavore – I purchase and consume only organic and locally grown/raised foods. I'm not into name brands and this or that latest health craze. Not only am I healthier because of the foods I eat, but the planet (or at least my little place on it) is becoming more sustainable because my hard earned dollars are staying in my community, helping my neighbours and farmers.

I've also always had a heart to help people. When I realise something works for me, I share it with others. I'm an activist and support a great many causes. My activism is done locally as well as online (if anyone has seen my Facebook page, you'd understand).

This has lead me to pursue a career in direct sales/network marketing. The idea of helping others live healthier lives while also helping them earn an income appeals to me. The internet is a wonderful way to share my enthusiasm for healthy living.
