I got home from work the other day and there were two big boxes waiting for me on the diningroom table. My husband Kevin was a little disappointed because he thought at least one was for him (he was looking for paint for his current motorcycle painting project).
But no, they were both for me! One held my starter kit, and the other a tower of catalogs! I haven't had a chance to look at everything, sort through it all, but it was so exciting. Really started to feel real, you know? I had to reassure Kevin that the heavy box was not all jewelry...
Yesterday, another package....a package containing lovely little boxes full of beautiful things: the earrings that remind me of a screen from India with the ornate carvings, the garnet bracelets deep blood red, the adorable toe rings, the splurge of the multistrand beaded bracelet with swirly silver piece on it.
I have an extensive collection of jewelry, but this morning it was the hardest thing trying to decide what to wear! I settled on the multistone earrings (sodalite, etc.) and necklace, and one of the toe rings. According to http://crystal-cure.com/sodalite.html, sodalite helps bring inner peace, and maybe help me lose a few pounds.
It's just getting better and better.......

Tales of a Jewelryholic
Jewelry is my addiction, and silver is my drug of choice.
So in the attempt to find something that would help me financially and feed that need, I stumbled upon Silpada! (http://www.silpada.com) Not wanting to be too impulsive :-) I first heard of Silpada years ago from a friend, and I guess it was always just humming in the back of my mind. The fact that I have no direct sales experience, and that my expertise runs more in software support....well that shouldn't matter, right?
This first week has been a whirlwind: meeting new people, finding out how great and supportive my friends and family are, setting up my new business....and of course, there is the jewelry.
My sponsor Amy has been enthusiastic and supportive, and is a great coach! She really helps me to believe I can make of this whatever I decide to....and there's the rub.
I discussed this adventure with my friend Nancy, who gives great advice and has experience in direct sales and all that it requires to be successful. She said of course I would be a success at this, "it just depends on how much you are willing to apply yourself."
Well.....we will just have to wait and see!
