He is already bringing 'great fortune' this month... how cool to hear an advertisement  on the radio about 'Augustus' after I had named him.
The last few months have been all about getting set up.. Teaching several classes and perfecting my skills..

Starting to get comfortable wearing the 'artist' label who knew at 60 one could start a new career???

and it feels like one I was destined to do ..happy heart

the beginning of Creative Fire Studio, the how & the why

wow.. Can I believe this is unfolding.???? its been a dream.. a dream that was put on hold for so long, now just moments away from being really really official.
Lets start with way back... I have always been creative... even very little making barbie doll dresses for  barbies and my own paper dolls from catalogues.. Was it always recognized as a talent?? NO.

I remember as a young mom who was heading back to work..With  limited funds and needing a wardrobe... people were so amazed that I made my skirt... (were I grew up on the farm we just did that because you had to!!!)..
That was the beginning of the recognition of my creative side...  as the years moved along and I was STUCK.... so stuck in a job... that I really didn't  like but the money was good.. and with 2 small children, leaving and going to retrain wasn't a possibility one could even dream about... but I did.. every day on that long walk from the bus to the office.... and as the universe would unfold..( I don't call it luck ) I landed up leaving on stress leave and they retrained me.... yup they did... 1999 NAIT  dress making and tailoring program. My chance to turn my skill into a living.

As things  ebb & flow many things changed and that evolved to a direct sale business in PartyLite.. again a huge opportunity to be creative  decorating homes and to make money...

With my health and mobility were deteriorating... again another shift and I discovered the amazing world of ViSalus... and for first time ever in my life I was taking MY health seriously... You see without our health nothing else matters... Having a history of obesity in our family,  being over 90 pounds overweight  my life was being affected. Something had to change... again the universe unfolded to bring me to ViSalus in this next chapter in my life.

That brings us to now.. 62 pounds down in my very best health ever I found I needed to feed my creative part again.... (it will never be denied you see) I had dabbled in Paverpol and truly loved the medium. It was very immediate.. very forgiving and so flexible... for several years I dreamed of being a teacher in this medium.

Again a dream comes true... with ViSalus I have the flexibility to choose how I spend my days.

So now.... I get to be in my very best health EVER, Help so many of them friends get their health & finances back...  Now I get to help others explore their creative side with Paverpol.. you see everybody gets to be an artist with Paverpol

How does it get any better then that ????
