"THE CLIMB"



I know...some of you may think...really Miley Cyrus....but YES. This song has really touched me. This video clip is more honest than the real music video to me. There is always gonna be another mountain, and obstacles in our path...but if we choose to make the most of each experience we will rise. We are better people by struggling through adversity. Please enjoy! Watch this little clip, and know that the Lord is with you and me. He loves us, and so many beautiful blessings await us on the side, and through our climb.

Love you.
P.S HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! You inspire me...I love you so so so much! xoxoxo

CELEBRITY APPRENTICE!

DID YOU WATCH CELEBRITY APPRENTICE LAST NIGHT?

I have been looking forward to watch my company be featured on Celebrity Apprentice for months! Some of the leaders I work with were even shown in the audience last night. I am so excited to share with my friends the new ACN VIDEO PHONE that was featured last night, and launched to the world! Over 24 million viewers. UNBELIEVABLE! The boom is starting to take place, and want to continue helping our friends get a piece of it! AWESOME! If you want to see someone you call...give me a call! It has really helped my family connect all over the USA! This technology is also helping families connect around the WORLD.

Love you all! Seeing really is believing!
