Look at everything that has happened in the last 5 years and all the growth that has occurred! 

First of all, we have successfully launched all our little birds into their future lives and have all graduated from school. YAY!! 
Second, we have paid off our mortgage and now are experiencing the fun of having more financial freedom! 
John is able to work remote so we have started traveling in the winter for a few weeks at a time to check out different destinations.

My business continues to grow.
I promoted to Senior Vice President in the spring of 2024 and my team is strong. It is filled with people who want to be here. It is a healthy mixture of casual consultants along with business builders. 

We have weekly team calls to check in and this has helped the momentum continue. It really helps that Norwex has created a company and business model that can fit into so many people's lives. 

I became certified as a Leadership Coach in October of 2023 which sparked another element I have added into my career, and that is one of a business coach. Through my own self coaching, I have gained the skills and knowledge of how our brain works and how we respond to the things happening around us. I began taking on clients in 2025 and have a nice little side business growing along my direct sales business. 

The residual income I get from my managers checks have tripled which allows me the time and space to continue building this part of my career. I love helping and serving people, while I continue to travel and live my best life. 

I noticed in January my baby seemed to be getting smaller. I noticed she was never eating with us, but I didn't realize something serious was happening under the cloak of big giant Billie Elish style like wardrobe.

I walked into the bathroom right after the holidays and you were wrapped in a towel. Due to the cold weather in Minnesota, I had not seen this much of you in months. Your littel shoulder blades were sticking out of your back in a way I had never seen before. I instantly knew something was up. 

I made mention to your dad that we need to start paying closer attention to what and when you are eating, but I didn't want to put too much pressure on you or make you start even sneakier behavior, so we did just that... Watch you. 

I asked you if you were eating, mentioned I thougth you looked skinnier, and told you my story of when I restricted my food when I was the same age, lost a bunch of weight, then gained it back so quickly I got depressed. I am not sure now if that story helped. I was hoping it was more to hopefully jolt you into eating normally. 

I know now, that was not the case. I know now, I should have had proper help in starting to eat again to avoid the symptoms of refeading syndrome. I should have learned how to properly nourish my body back to health.. I know now, that I did it on my own without help and I will forever deal with my relationship with food. 

I know now, that your outcome has a better chance because of your willing mindset to get the help that you need.
