I was 38 before I ever married. I had a good job, a college degree, a cute apartment, nice car...great lifestyle...but I was lonely. I dreamed of my wonderful husband a month before I met him, so when I did meet him at the Scout office, I know my jaw dropped. I knew him at once.

When we married, I acquired 2 children. His daughter was 9 and seemed excited about us marrying. His son was 3, called me Wissa and we got along great. The daughter chose to move off with mom and has continued to be a challenge. Anthony, my son, has been wonderful. He is my heart.

Boy, oh boy! We had it all, too. For the past 6 years my husband and I both had been able to work from home. We had a wonderful life! We had a beautiful 3000+ square foot home in a gated community on a river in Arkansas. We had nice vehicles, and the houseboat and SeeDoo at the lake. Life was wonderful. And then it all came crashing down...we were left with nothing. We lost it all. ALL.

We moved to Texas and are starting over. I am working at a job, and I love it, but it is only temporary. We are working hard at being independent again. We've made our dreamboards, we have our goals established...we will have the lifestyle we most enjoy again.

What we have learned, and want to pass on to you is this: Get Educated! Network Marketing is a wonderful industry, but if you are not educated then it can swallow you whole leaving you angry, bitter, and in-debt. When selecting a company, keep your emotions out of it. There are questions you should ask, things you should know. A valuable resource can be downloaded at:

I am soon to be 53 now and certainly understand your desire to stay at home and be with your children. You can do it. Just be smart about it.
