Network Marketing Journey

I’ve been really bad this week.

My attention has been focused elsewhere so I’ve been neglecting emails, comments and phone calls but before you jump to conclusions, let me explain…

Throughout the past week I’ve gotten a number of emails from readers asking if I’m doing OK. I really appreciate the concern but I really am feeling great. This past week has been something of a marvel and I’ll try and do it justice while I explain.

About 4 months ago my Mother called me asking if they could use the video cam I had recently purchased for a project. When asked about the details of the project (what can I say, I’m naturally curious) she briskly told me she didn’t want to talk about it because she and her accomplice (a friend) didn’t want the cat getting out of the bag, so to speak.

Thankfully I don’t always take no for an answer, so she entrusted me with the mission at hand.

As it turned out, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition had been requesting nominations for project applicants in the area and my mother (along with her friend) decided to nominate a friend of the families family.

With this knowledge she admonished me not to tell a soul so I zipped my lips and didn’t breath a word. The months flew by, as they always do, and after a couple months I inquired about the status of their nomination.

Amazingly, the family we worked to nominate was 1 of 5 to be chosen, or so goes the rumor…

By this time I was starting to get really excited for the prospective winners because I knew just how much it would help them out. So, I focused on the thought of them winning and let it go (just as the law of attraction states). In the remaining time before the decision day it never even entered my mind that they would be turned down.

Now fast forward to last Monday and another phone call with her. According to what she was told, they would find out who won the following day and on Wednesday they would begin working on the house of the family they chose.

Even at this point I wasn’t the least bit concerned. I was confident they would win and that Ty Pennington would be knocking on their door at any time.

I spent the rest of my day Monday with friends and I happened to mention the show and asked if they knew about a contest of sorts going on in the area. They knew the show, and one of my friends had heard through the grapevine that the mother was a school teacher and the father was a bus driver.

Jackpot! Ding! Ding! Ding!

This fit the description of the family nominated so I was about 95% certain it was the family my mom nominated. As it turns out, I was right. After placing a few calls Tuesday afternoon and late evening I confirmed it. They won.

On Wednesday they sent the family on vacation, Thursday they started by bringing the house down and its been facinating to watch them build the house in a matter of days. I can’t even begin to imagine the amount of cordinating and planning it takes to make it all happen.

Best of all … in a matter of hours the family will be shown their new home.

So now you know why I’ve been distracted as of late. I do apologize for being slow with my replies to your emails, your concern is noted and appreciated.
