Metamorphosis

Welcome!

I started this blog in 2010 as I began the process of figuring out how to have a more passion-filled life, leaving my corporate job in search of something more fulfilling. It felt like a giant push on my life's restart button and I wanted to share my journey. The road on that journey has taken a few unforeseen twists and turns, first colon cancer then recovering from alcoholism. The journey continues, I hope you'll join me from time to time as I share my travels to that passion-filled life that still calls to me.

Have done a few shows ...

The hardest part of these posts is remembering to do them and coming up with titles lol.  So it's been a really crazy couple of weeks!  Had my first two CAbi shows, and they were both awesome and very different from each other.  I practiced and practiced and practiced, and still forgot a couple of things, but it's true what they say that this is about relationships.  No one really cares if you're perfect or not, but being personable is crucial.  I did this direct sales thing once before and sold a line of jewelry.  I wasn't successful at all and after a handful of shows I gave it up.  First of all, the company itself is a huge factor ,,, CAbi is truly a well run, ethical and thoughtful company to be associated with.  The training has been stellar, and besides ,,, this is fashion and I'm all about that.  So I'm selling something that I truly believe in this time, and I'm quite sure that my being in a different place, mentally & emotionally (not to mention about 12 years older) has a lot to do with it as well.
And in the last few days, now that I have some sales under my belt, I've been able to see just how truly impressive the earning potential is with this company.  And by far the best news out of all of that ,,, I'm having FUN!!  I get to wear my product, talk about fashion everytime someone asks me what I do for a living, and when I'm "working" I'm really just playing with clothes and meeting these really great women.  What a blessing!

Having fun ...

So things are going fairly well so far, I have high hopes for doing CAbi on a couple different levels.  First of all, I am having fun and after all, that's what having a passion-filled life is partly about right?  Second, this feels like an awesome way to prove and hone my skills as a personal stylist and shopper, and to be able to include references/testimonials on my website once I get that up and running.  That piece, the personal stylist/shopper, feels like a 2012-13 project, I really want to give my CAbi consulting career a chance to take off and see how many lives I can touch.  CAbi talks a lot about touching and changing people's lives, and the gift that CAbi can be ,,, and I truly believe that.  Seeing the transformation a woman goes through when she puts something on that fits beautifully, makes her feel fabulous and everyone around her tells her she looks great is just awesome.
