I'm a lawyer by trade, but I've only done pro bono work in recent years because I've been staying home with my three young sons (Michael - age 4, Isaac - age 3, and Liam - age 1). This is a choice we made for our family. Most days, I love it. However, I really miss getting my own paycheck, I miss working with other people, and I miss the excitement of professional success.
When my sorority sister introduced me to Nerium, I never imagined selling it. However, it worked so well on a surgical scar, that I fell in love with the product. When I found out how financially sound the company was and that their mission is to "Make People Better", I had to get involved. I'm so glad I did. Being a Nerium Brand Partner means so much to me, and it's more than just sharing wonderful products that work.
You need to understand that, when I was a child, I was a nerd. I'm still a nerd, but, as a child, being a nerd didn't feel like a good thing. It had a lot of crud that went with it. I thought I could handle it. I thought I was strong enough. When I'd see another kid getting picked on, I'd say, "Stop it! Leave him alone." Then, the kids would turn and pick on me more. I did this because I knew I could take it, and I didn't know what the other kid could handle.
In my early adult years, I learned that I really couldn't handle it. I learned that all those years of "taking it" had done horrible things to my self-esteem and my self-worth. I made a lot of poor decisions, especially in my relationships. I didn't value myself. I allowed people to hurt me because I didn't think I deserved better.
It wasn't until I met my husband, a kind and generous man, that things started to turn around. At first, I didn't want to accept his love. How could such a great guy love me? Then, he told me, "I love you just the way you are. You are the perfect person for me. I wouldn't change anything about you." Something clicked. I had always lived in the "land of the ugly", watching the beautiful people, but believing I could never be a part of their world. Now, someone wonderful loved me, and I came to realize that I did deserve his love. I was worthy. I was beautiful.
Now, I want to lift up others. I want to help people see in themselves what I see in them. I want everyone to feel beautiful. It's not just sharing Nerium. It's sharing a kind word, encouraging others, never walking away from an opportunity to show someone how much they mean in this world.
Every person is beautiful. I want to help you become your most beautiful you, inside and out.
Beautiful Day. Beautiful You.
