Hello my friends, 
I hope this note finds you all well.
How are things with you by the way?
May I extend my gratitude to the “Person of the Week” committee.
Thank you all so much for your time and attention in putting together
and keeping together this most gracious forum.
Thank you everyone for your continued support.
This community has become a great light in my life.
My dearest friends you are a welcome addition to the bouquet of my life.
Now I suppose this is where I begin to tell you all some things about me.
I was born in Upstate NY in 1966, Skaneateles.
Now residing in Pennsylvania, USA.
I am married and have two boys almost grown.
In their 4 years of High School I chose to school them at home.
Best decision I ever made!
I have been a cosmetologist, bakery manager, tag coordinator for a major grocery chain, and other assorted retail jobs through the years. All of which I coordinated with my husband, Arthur’s schedule to make sure that one of us was always with our children, no sitters, no daycare. Was not always easy but we did it.
When I made the decision to take our boys out of public schooling I was faced with a new dilemma.
A need to be at home and still create an income.
As you know it is very challenging to live on a one salary income these days.
This is where working from home came into play.
Now again this was not easy. You have the many interruptions and distractions that come from being so, “available” to the fact that I had virtually no experience with online marketing. I tried many opportunities, many products. Learning with each adventure or mis-adventure. And while many opportunities out there have great potential they have equally as much mismanagement and poor leadership.
I did not give up however. I simply fine tuned my search and found Melaleuca.
And have been in love every since. Now, I am not independently wealthy just yet.. But am reaching closer to it everyday, at my own pace. Between Melaleuca and some of the other varied smaller income streams I have,
I am looking at financial freedom by the year 2010!
Today I enjoy, Better Health along with Time Freedom.
And boy I have met so many people from all over the world!
I really am loving that..
I was not looking for merely an income.
I was looking for an income that meant something. That could create some good for others as well as myself. Being a helper by nature this was very important to me and I really was not sure I could find that, in a paying form, anyways. But, Melaleuca fit the bill! Safer, cleaner, more economical everyday products. So I not only was able to create an income for my family but also improve the lives of my family as well as others by educating them on the dangers of some additives used in many of the popular grocery store brands that are found in many homes today.

And you know it really feels good to be teaching by example for my children.
I have found it to be quite interesting to see a good share of the name brands we had used for years in our homes now switching to a “green effect” in their products. As if they knew all along the dangers their products have posed to our health, that of our families and the state of our environment.
Kinda makes you think doesn’t it? I hope it does anyways!
Melaleuca has been in business and going stronger, consistently, since their beginning back in 1985. Great products, great savings, great support, great training and a fabulous compensation plan for those that choose to tell others about this wellness company and it’s much needed products and services.. They have it all!
I can tell you more just ask here; My Healthy Tree
I AM ALSO GRATEFUL FOR THESE AVENUES TO GIVE AID
Melaleuca Foundation

If you don’t see me online..
I am often in my gardens or planning my strategy for the next seasons bloom.
I love Birds and the social, fun side they bring to my yard.
I bake on a regular basis, yes homemade baked goods!
Think that may be why we are the neighborhood hang out? HeHeHe.
Camping is my favorite vacation adventure.
My favorite place to get away from it all
Give me a place to hear no phones, no t.v’s, Just nature at it’s finest and I am one happy camper!
I also enjoy hiking. Getting out in the fresh clean air on some mysterious trail. Not knowing what you’ll see after the next bend or hill. Setting up a small picnic and enjoying the beauty that is nature.
I have begun to explore my love of photography. View some of my work
Teaching myself as I go at this point. Really is neat though when the image you see comes out exactly as you meant it too.
As in, through my eyes…
I have recently started a pet sitting side business. Mostly for friends and family. This started by accident but we have such a good time with it.
Easy money if you ask me!
Isn’t it great to be paid for doing what you love?!
I consider myself to be a self motivated individual. But I do have a favorite place I like to go for a daily focus on motivation plan @
Daily Motivation
I do my best to be a good listener,
I find that you can learn much more if you aren’t the one doing all the talking all the time.

A people person by nature, I have been told that I have a gift for finding the “softer edges” in people. For seeing the less than obvious positive side of others. I like hearing that.
It really feels good to know that I am bringing a positive to peoples lives.
I recycle anything I can!
It may be used for some funky yard art for my gardens, or a tool to use for camping or hiking. I can be quite clever this way!
And selfishly, I hope this is helping the environment as well.
I am a pretty simple girl with simple needs.
Give me love of Family, Friends, Faith, Health and Home; I am good!
So, Please, tell me, what’s your story?
Warmest regards,
Heidi Stern
