THE TOP
My grandparents raised me in the small rural town of Adairsville, Georgia. My grandfather took me to work with him on his construction sites from the time I was a little girl. He had always been self-employed and enjoyed what he did. Working with him planted a seed in my heart to become my own boss and have the freedom of a flexible schedule someday. However, in my early teen years I lacked self-confidence and I would not have believed I would own a business someday. All of this changed when I turned 19, when I became a data processor and I discovered that sitting at a desk for eight hours a day was not for me. When I began having children I was blessed to be a stay-at-home mom. As my children got older, I became involved with a network marketing company and had some success, but the timing was not right for me. However, the experience gave me a glimpse of my unfulfilled dream and I knew that one day it would come true. I could not wait for the chance to travel with my family, take some mission trips and help others. About a year-and-a-half ago while training to run a marathon, I hurt my back. I thought it was just a pulled muscle, so I ran the marathon anyway. After three weeks of pain with no sign of recovery, I visited the doctor and was diagnosed with a cracked

sacrum bone. Having led a healthy life, as far as eating habits and exercise were concerned, I was surprised. At this time one of my best friends, ERVP Donna Jones, invited me to an Arbonne Presentation where I learned about the Phyto Prolief Natural Balancing Cream Arbonne offers. I immediately started using the cream, as well as other wonderful Arbonne products. The botanical products were just what I was looking for. Needless to say, before long I was telling everyone about the Arbonne difference.

I found myself in a place where I needed to make some extra money. Not wanting to work full time in order to conserve my family time, I signed on with Arbonne as a Consultant. It offered a great opportunity with a flexible schedule. This was an answer to my prayer and the key to my childhood dream. Arbonne allowed me to fulfill my passion to help others. With the help of my team, I became an AM within three months. I earned a level of income that most full-time jobs could not offer. I was grateful to earn the money, the Mercedes-Benz and the trips. But, the true blessings are the opportunities to have fun, build relationships and help others achieve their dreams and goals. I want to thank God for helping me every step of the way. To my husband, Randy: Thank you for loving me and praying for me. To my son, Nathan: Thank you for being patient with my daughter, Jessie and me, and for helping me to sell products and set up my Presentations. I want to thank my stepdaughter, Madison, for helping me promote the products. All three of you have inspired me to reach my dreams. Just as the head cannot function without the body, my business
cannot function without my team. To my team: Thank you. Your faith in Arbonne and me has allowed me to achieve my goals and fulfill a lifelong dream that began when I was a little girl.

To one of my best friends, ERVP Donna Jones: Thank you for sharing the Arbonne opportunity with me. You believed in me when I did not. Thank you for the encouraging calls every day, for the past year and a half. To my AMs, Nicole Nida, Becky Banks, Vickie Barnes, Julie Van Gorp and Linda Freshour: Thank you for all the hard work you have done. I could not have done it without you. To my DMs, Debra Reynolds, Deena Hardin, Keesha Wilkey, Dale Wilkey, Wanda Shepherd, Dori Dorsett, Karen Martin and Samantha Rhinehart: You guys are the greatest team a Regional Vice President could have. To my loyal and faithful Consultants and Managers: Thank you for staying late to take orders to help our team finish qualification. To DMs, Debra Reynolds, Blair Wheeler, Amanda Gwin, Sherry Lee and Suzy Rector: You made it happen. The head surely cannot function without the body, and this head could not have functioned without my team. It is said that if one part suffers, then all parts suffer with it, and if one part is honored, all are honored. To my team: May God bless you all as you head to the top.
