A few months ago I moved to scenic central New Jersey from the Pocono Mountains of PA. My husband and I are have been happily married and just also celebrated our 18th anniversary together. I have two fabulous kids, and a few animals too.
I have a home-based candle business, work as a mortgage loan officer, and am a stained glass teacher. I love teaching, meeting, helping, and coaching others. I am a teacher at heart. I call myself a "stay at home working mom" because I do all three of the above primarily from my home. I love talking to people and entertain, but am still a little bit shy.
I have been in network marketing for 11 years now. I've been with Mia Bella/Scent-stions for the past 4 years and really love it. In the past few months my candle business has been taking off. I finally see the light and see the true potential possible for me to replace my other incomes and stay at home full-time. I am committed and working towards living totally debt-free and replacing my and my husband's income through my candle business so we all can stay home, do more of our hobbies, do more volunteering, and just enjoy life with our family and pets.
Interests....
I like to keep busy and learn new things. Life is too short to stop learning.
I love art, home decorating, and am fascinated my color. I love to do stained glass, painting, collecting art, decorating, veggie/soy candles, reading LRH and self-improvement books, home decorating, simple and beautiful things in life, keeping in touch with old friends, and making new friends all over the world. Cool old architecture, cars, animals (especially cats), and being vegan are also my passions. I love having people over, entertaining, and just hanging out. I volunteer for almost everything that I have time for: animal league, 4-H, girl scouts, boy scouts, tutoring at my kids schools, helping friends, etc.
I love to see others achieve their goals whether in business or in other interests that I may know something about.
I hope to meet you soon and get to know you better.
Tell us (without hyping) about your Home Based Business
I offer a home based business opportunity with Mia Bella Candles (Scent-sations) that has numerous ways to earn income, including online.
What attracted me, and maybe you too, is that this company offers lots of free ongoing training, lots of business support, are debt-free, have a huge untapped market in the gourmet candle industry, have outstanding, yet down to earth, honest leadership, a realistic compensation plan along with huge monthly bonuses that anyone can easily qualify for (including me), low start up costs, no monthly ongoing requirements, a free professional website with an online store - connected to my account, low cost of a high quality product line that retails a variety of ways to both men and women of all ages, home parties, fundraising opportunity, the potential of quickly (in just a few years) being able to replace full time incomes, as well as unlimited residual income.
I love it because i also get to turn one of my hobbies of meeting new people and making friends into a profitable home based business. It is a great learning and very rewarding experience for my whole family.
No I didn't get to go to fling this year, family things were going on at the same time. I am going to Nashville in October and planning for fling next year.
Hi Mary,
It's nice to meet you too! Yes, Dolce is the baby of the family now. We have another dog too. He's an eight year old Airedale named Ryce (after Jerry Rice San Fran 49ers. Husband's has been a 9ers fan since he was a kid). I'll be uploading more pictures to share, so be sure to check in once in awhile.
I must say that I am so impressed with all of the Scent-Sations/Mia Bella folks I have had the pleasure to meet (online/phone) so far. It's really comforting to know that people want you (me) to be successful.
It's nice to meet you Mary. You're right it is unusual for a girl to like cars but I have always liked muscle cars and power. I think drag racing is the most excitng form of racing.
Hi Mary, thanks for adding me as a friend. I am also with Mia Bella and I just love it. I'm still fairly new, started in February. My retail sales have been great but I'm just now getting into team building seriously and into fundraising. Like many people I got overwhelmed at first and had to stop and get my focus back on what I really what out of my business. I feel like I'm on the right track now.
What do you teach about stained glass? I have always thought it was so beautiful.
Hi Mary, So nice to meet you. How long have you been in the real estate biz? Very interesting times we're in right now, but things will get back to normal one day. Stained glass is beautiful, I'd love to see some of your work. That's a hobby I always wanted to try. And thank you for the compliment. Sometimes I get mistaken for my oldest daughter's(she's 28) sister. Gotta love it :-) Hope you're having a wonderful weekend. Talk to you soon.

Hi Mary! My first book was kicking around in my head for about 5 years before I wrote a thing down. I would not recommend doing that. Instead, grab a notebook and anything and everything that resonates with you should be written in that book. Any character descriptions, any settings, any storylines, any headlines in a newspaper, etc. Even if none of it goes together, once you do find a story you want to pursue, you can use some of this info without straining your brain trying to remember all the details. Good luck!
Hi Mary! As far as the graphics, I go to www.photobucket.com and there are free graphics to choose to copy and paste onto your profile. Have you done that before? If you need help, let me know!
