2013 Goals: Blog (Share My Story) More Often

I have made it a goal to blog more.  When I woke up this morning and saw this on pinterest it gave the goal more spark.

My first thought was if you don't tell share your story, then how are others going to feel better about their similar situations.  As many as you know, I started on my adventure as an Origami Owl Independent Designer in October.  The mission of Origami Owl is to be a force for good and their lockets help you share your story with others.  I have a sense of freedom now that I go out and tell my why and my story with others.  I have found others that have been in car accidents that changed who they were, are showing debt the door, and are making a difference while sharing with others these similar circumstances. 

What I thought would just be an extra source of income while getting me out of the house has been a huge blessing.  In January I went to SOAR (regional) Conference in Nashville and in July I will be hitting the dry heat of Phoenix to go to the national conference.  If you want to be a part of a company that cares about your goals and well-being beyond your sales goals then Origami Owl is it!  I felt so much love and compassion in Nashville.  I can't wait to see where this company takes me next.  If my facebook page reaches100 likes by midnight, Monday, February 18th, I am giving away a free locket.  My facebook page is www.facebook.com/acoltranelockets if you are interested.  It does not include charms, plates, chains or dangles.

I hope everyone had a good week.  Valentine's was good.  Chess came over and I fed him a crockpot meal and green beans with ice cream cake as dessert.  Luckily it was simple since I was at home all day laying on the couch with a horrible migraine.  He made it so much better by not caring if we leave the house or not and the cutest Girl Scout Thin Mint bear from Build-a-Bear named Amanda.  Friday was even better hanging out with the girls over yummy food and these S'mores Bars I made from pinterest.  We had a lot of fun catching up and watching movies.  Have you guessed that Pinterest is one of my happy places?

I won't bore you any longer.  I hope your week is a blessing!
