What is My Favorite Product?

I'm writing this post here because it's a pretty safe bet, it will never be read by anyone but me.

I'll never forget meeting Becca Levie while at my first Scentsy Spring Sprint at the Omni Hotel in Philadelphia, I think in 2011.  I thought Becca was bigger than life itself in Scentsy...  next to Orville and Heidi, she is.





Yesterday, she made this post on Facebook....
#bathbomb Incentive.
I am going to share my favorite product. After you read it please share your thoughts.
People often ask me how I came to be a top ten earner in Scentsy even when I wasn't one of the early consultants.
First like Orville states it's not when you start it's what you do when you start.. and here's the thing everyday is a new start.
Second remember you can't help someone to the top of a mountain without getting there yourself.
In other words "Help enough people get what they want and you'll get what you want."- Zig Ziglar
And for some people that's just making their house smell better, or to be able to get free Scentsy.
For others it more and for many they don't realize at first how much more that is.
Ask yourself what's your favorite product.
I will tell you what mine is.
It's our, be your own boss home based business opportunity.
Almost everyone needs extra income, a tax write off, new friends, something to call their own, an exit strategy, a way to travel the world, a self improvement program or a chance to make all their dreams come true.
And Scentsy is the perfect opportunity to meet all those needs and wants because our whole catalog is full of product that meets every age and gender in at least one way.
Another thing I love is I know without a doubt anyone can be as successful as they want to be with Scentsy.
Scentsy is simple, it's duplicatable and a low investment with unlimited income potential.
I truly believe it's this burning passion, BELIEF AND CONVICTION that has helped me sponsor over 400 people.
This is why I am always asking you to read books, 
get on our Saturday Calls,
watch videos,
grab a hold of anything you can so you can build your belief and excitement to the point you will...
not give up
you will write your one minute story
you will practice your skills, 
you will implement a follow up system until they say yes or say no thank you, so you will learn to listen to people's needs so you can offer Scentsy as a solution.
so you will make a chicken list,
so you will make borrow bags,
so you will do Sit and Sniffs,
so you will attend Scentsy Family reunion
attend world tour
And sponsor, sponsor, sponsor!
Because wether you think you can Make It Happen OR you think you can't YOU'RE going to be right.
Change your mind, change your life.
Share with me how this touches your thoughts.

This is another opportunity to get your name entered to win a #bathbomb

I didn't post a comment, I want to taint her feed with a negative.  I sent her a private message in response and am copying here so I will have a place to find my comment easily....

Thank you for your post Becca - you are always inspirations, loving, giving, and all else that goes along with that.  I don't feel I can share my thoughts as a comment to your post because it feels nothing but negative and laden with excuses...  but my feeling are what they are and I have yet to be able to shake them.  I love Scentsy, Orville, Heidi and most all the people I have met within Scentsy....  I love the few customers I have, but overwhelmed with life and the most horrid feeling I have ever had.  I am well aware how good life has been to me, how successful I have been in some ways, but oh what a failure and loser in so many other ways.  I can't get beyond the suffering I have inside....  the emotional torment I am feeling....  I often put on the good face...  act positive and supporting on the outside, while completely lost and without love on the inside.  I read John Maxwell, Zig Ziglar, Tony Robbins, all the books, I have libraries....  I know what to do for business (or I think I do), but my gut is wrenched in self pity, hurt and loneliness. It has ripped the desire and energy from me....  I feel so sad and without the ability to move.  I have not spoken to the mother I dearly love who I feel was taken away from me since last January....  now so full of guilt because I used my own failure as an excuse.  My favorite product ....  being giving and helpful to others....  I once felt I was, now I think I failed.  How can I be a top earner ....  rid myself of the debt of life and feel worthwhile again.  Becca - pretending you are a close friend I have, understanding I am nothing more a figment of my own imagination .....  then poof, it will be over.  Love you and Terri regardless of my own shortcomings.

I so want to feel better.....

David - a friend of my Dads

For the most part, this post is mostly is just documenting a part of my Dad's history.  I found this envelope today containing a letter from David Phillips.  I think I met David once with my dad.  He was closer to my age, an airplane and WWII enthusiast.  I'm thinking he was in the Maryland area, but not positive.

Here are the letter and pictures I found:
