A Time of Gratitude

You know how when someone comes into your life, you're happy that they did but then.....it turns out they're in your life for another reason and you don't figure it out until later?

One of my team members in my candle business came into my life about 3 1/2 years ago, her name is Fawn McCurdy. I was so excited because she came in under one of my dear friends and I thought oh cool, she's a candle lover like myself. As time went on, she sold a few candles here and there and I think she burned a few for herself. After awhile I realized that she stopped for a long perod of time and just as I realized that, she told me she wrote poetry and that was taking up most of her time. I thought, "Oh wow! I used to write poetry too when I was younger."

So, of course, I checked out her work and was in awe of how powerful her words were. I felt an instant connection with her and decretly hoped she would get her work published. :-) I had one of mine published in the International Library of Poetry and thought, she oughtta get hers in there too! Well! I just recently found out from her being one of my friends on Facebook that she published her 3rd book! OMG! You can go look for yourself, it's titled When Light Comes To Shadows and you can see her other 2 books listed as well.

I got to thinking about Fawn for a few minutes and realized, I don't think she came into my life to sell candles. She came into my life because of the poetry connection and so that I can be appreciative of her work and cheer her on. :-) So the candle biz was kinda like a "backdoor" because I wouldn't have "seen" her any other way at first. Pretty cool concept I think. ;-)

I appreciate her and her gift to the Universe and may she touch the hearts of everyone who reads her poems as she has touched mine. :-)

A sidenote to other network marketers out there:
Always have a deep appreciation for the team members you partner with, as they hold a beautiful passion within them other than the business opportunity you share.
