Scentsy, it's a lightbulb!
Yes, I am one of Scentsy's newest consultants. After learning about Scentsy from the inside out as well as being introduced to some very successful people through product shipment. I decided I would join the "team".

Fulfillment...
I am presently working in a "fulfillment center". You may wonder if this could be the place where all wishes, wants and desires are all fulfilled but you would be disappointed. We provide support to home consultants who use in-home "parties" to sell their products. While I've been working here I've noticed a few things about people, places and packaging.
You could live in a glen, village, township, city, burough or territory.
You might live on a lane, street, avenue, court, circle, route or drive.
But then again you may be on an FM or a CR...and what pray you are they.
FM is an abbreviation for Farm to Market road.
CR, similarly means County Road.
There seems to be a multitude of "whisperings" Whispering Oaks, Whispering Glen, Whispering Forest, Whispering Mill...why all the whisper and what the whispering is all about I wonder.
You could also go the route of royalty...on Knights Cove, Queens Creek or Coronation Drive.
Sweet home is not only in Alabama but also found in Oregon.
The North Pole is in Alaska...forget all that global positioning.
The Yukon can be found in Oklahoma...maybe this is where all the global warming theories got a bit convoluted...it is just an address guys.
There are addresses so rural that UPS does not make a home delivery and that person must drive 90 minutes from a Texas ranch to pick things up from the UPS depot. I guess only Fedex must be able to find those in the truly rural "sticks". (It must be true I saw it happen in the movie Castaway.)
There are all kinds of names for places and people but presently some of my favorites are Bambi, Bimberly, Taffy, Kitten and Cinamon...yes Bimberly, Bambi, Kitten and Taffy are real people along with Sunshine and Cinamon.

In the meantime I will continue to help "fulfill" some wishes, wants and desires to consultants you may know or meet...even Bimberly, Bambi and Kitten.

ING
I saw this on one of my favorite blogs and loved the idea. Join in and post your own ING's:
Making : Various stitching projects including a couple of quilt bindings.
Cooking: Chile Verde...it is so wonderful over pinto beans and chips. Just add a sprinkling of shredded cheese. Yum.
Drinking : Ice COLD Coca Cola. There is nothing better.
Reading: The Lost Symbol
Wanting: Time with my grandchildren.
Looking: at falling golden Sycamore leaves.
Playing: Cribbage. Do you know Cribbage?
Wishing: I could find that blasted money tree now that the leaves are falling.
Enjoying: Halloween trick or treaters.
Waiting: for the Chile Verde to finish cooking.
Liking: a big, brown Chocolate Labrador named Bob.
Wondering: When I will get back to a good weight lifting workout.
Loving: Zack, Maggie & Christian as well as their parents. Max, Cody and Rick too.
Hoping: for a better job.
Marvelling: How much I love Rick after almost 30 years!
Needing: to remember all my blessings.
Smelling: a wonderful air spray called Cherry Clove Chutney
Wearing: Soft striped sweater with brown corduroy pants.
Following: Bob around the block.
Noticing: How cute little kids transform depending on the costume they are wearing.
Knowing: tomorrow will be another day to start something great.
Thinking: I should go get the laundry out of the dryer and fold something.
Opening: the mail for today.
Giggling: at a funny story about Christian and another about Maggie. Let's just say being Darth Vader is serious business and bribery works.
Feeling: happy to be home.

Planes, Trains and the Autobahn...
Salt Lake City to Atlanta to Paris to Hamburg and Elder Max!
President and Sister Thompson
Families large and small graciously gave us glimpses into the lives of the German people. Derk & Anya Franze, Sister Reske, The Bolte, Mueller, Glaeser and Westvogel families made sure we felt welcome from Hamburg to Elmshorn to Dillingsdorf to Berlin and onto Bremen.
Following the "Fairy Tale Road" of the Brother's Grimm we wound our way through Goslar, Goettigen, Hanoverisch-Munden, Kassel and on to Bremen.
Our last couple of days were spent in Copenhagen. We found the original Christus along with the twelve apostles from the New Testament, the home of Hans Christian Andersen and the Little Mermaid...
