Adventures of a Juggling Artist

My grandfather is an awesome man. He has worked as a farmer most of his life.
What comes into my mind when I think about him is the fact he ALWAYS set
his own schedule.
He goes to town to have a cup of coffee and get the paper daily. He exercises
to keep himself healthy. He chooses what he does.
Now as a farmer he did have the weather as a boss many of times. There were 12
hour work days, sweat, grime and exhaustion. But that was his choice.

I always have noticed my grandfather has had more down time that tedious grunt work
time. This is because he chose to work for himself. He knows what satisfies him and
has received each goal he set forth towards.

He is my inspiration. I work AVON towards the goal of setting my own schedule.
What is your WHY? Please share.

My friend Nikki Ardolino is a great gal. I met her about 1 1/2 years ago on New Years Eve. We met so I could become an AVON representative. I was very nervous to meet this lady. For she was the representation of my goal. I desired greatly then and still do now to do [...]

As I have worked AVON for a year and a half I have learned very important lessons. The biggest is that focusing on the REPEAT is important.

Over the past year and a half I have made some major health changes. The first change was getting off the couch. I began that with AVON. When I started I hung books (about 300) door to door in my neighborhood. In about 4 months I had lost 8 pounds. I was also feeling better. [...]

Here are 3 ways to make you meatloaf actually good for you!
1. Switch to turkey burger. It will not taste much different once you put in the onions, worcestershire sauce, and other herbs and spices that make it special.
2. Instead of bread crumbs as filler take finely chopped carrots and combine that into you [...]
