Childhood blessings

So as promised, I am going to write today about my childhood. Interestingly enough, this post is what I wanted to write about 3 days ago, but I kept allowing it to get pushed to the side by ideas that I knew would be fleeting…

Anyways, I had an amazing childhood and I recently realized that I owe a great deal of that to Network Marketing. (Before you jump to crazy conclusions and your pre-formed biases, let me share my experiences).

My mom got involved in network marketing when I was a baby. Her first company wasn’t a good fit, but she went on to be introduced to a food supplement company called, Reliv. 

What she was able to build from home with Reliv allowed my dad to quit his job and join her working from home.

Can you imagine how amazing it was for my brothers and I to have both parents home? 

Our dad could come with us on field trips, (none of our friends got that)! Our mom could pick us up from school if we were sick without having to worry about leaving work. We got to have family beach days in the middle of the week over the summer when most parents were stuck finding a babysitter to care for their kids. It was the absolute best.

Then there was the traveling! Their home based business blessed us with endless opportunities to see more than our home town through incentive trips, conferences, and training events. It was amazing growing up and being pulled out of school to travel experience new places! 

In Colorado we rode horses in the mountains, in Arizona we ATV-ed through the desert, in Alaska we went whale-watching, and we were able to experience Disney multiple times! Plus, there were numerous trips in between that we were able to take because my parents controlled their schedule.

The bonds that our family has, I greatly attribute to the innumerable experiences we got to share together. Growing up in this industry is amazing.

Network Marketing opened doors for our family that were completely unheard of. I thank God for those memories and pray that my future family would be blessed in the same way, where we can choose to not allow our lives to be dictated by jobs, but rather the needs of our family.
