We can wet California's soil with the tears we shed today.

Sacramento Rally against SB277
Today was a heavy day in California. The news of Governor Brown signing the SB277 bill shocked me. I always believe in miracles and in hope. Today, he shattered that (only for a moment, he does not own me)

I was so sure he would not undo his father's legacy. But he abolished it, trashed it and smashed his citizens. Cruel. He didn't even take the chance to listen to the opposition.

I have been at many rallies at the capitol. My tribe has widened. I am stronger because my tribe is stronger. Just a year ago I moved to California. In the midst of unpacking boxes I became an activist. I was once alone and thanks to SB277 I am united with armor with my warrior families, assemblymen, celebrities, officials and friends.


I am constantly asked why I am ANTI-vaccine. I simply am not. I am pro health and pro natural immunity. Even though I hate labels, I've come to the conclusion that I must be a Libertarian so by nature I hate mandates. BUT if there is anything that should be mandated, it should be breastfeeding into toddlerhood. If truly truly truly we believe in public health and the greater good we would naturally do this anyway but hell, lets mandate it because its for public health.

Ahhh, you say, not everyone can breastfeed...

Hey, guess what, not everyone CAN get vaccinated, not everyone WANTS to get vaccinated.

This is not the time post to battle breastfeeding vs. vaccinations. But we will one day.


This is a plea to fight. If you believe in equality then its time. Do you want my children marked? Do you want my children to wear a label that says they don't belong? Do you want my children to have a yellow star and be forced to be schooled somewhere else? Live somewhere else? You don't want this, we've seen this before. (Or do you want this? Do you have to hate someone? Dammit, the gays have won so lets hate someone else...ahh, the unvaccinated and of course, you have the big pharma bully on your side)


There has not been one reported case of measles contracted from schools in the USA, not a single one. So why oh why would California put into law today a bill that would take away education from a small percentage of children who delay or do not vaccinate for various reasons; medical, personal or religious beliefs

After my oldest child started Kindergarten I picked up an awful disease called MRSA (When I tell people about it they are like...what's that, never heard of it...had I said measles I bet they would torch me on sight and send the needles flying) I was sick for over a year and still suffer complications because of it.
MRSA is a disease created by humans by the misuse of antibiotics creating a superbug killing over 20,000 people annually. Chances are pretty good that I got MRSA at the school or any other public place. Not ONE DEATH from the DisneyLand breakout - WHERE IS THE PUBLIC OUTCRY?
Instead we have stripped education as a consequence and yet, people still don't know what MRSA is.

Man created MRSA a super bug by the misuse of antibiotics
What's next? Super Viruses caused by misuse of vaccines?

If we DO NOT STOP this heinous bill it won't stop at vaccines. Next will be birth control for our young daughters. They will tell you its for the greater good for population control (I mean, after all we are in a drought and not enough water for all) ADHD meds for our boys to keep the peace in the classroom.

My brother died because of pharma. He was on a medication that is no longer on the market because there were too many deaths (one of the side effects) My mom has an auto immune disorder that started after getting the flu shot (one of the side effects) Today and every day I will fight. I am Project Warrior.

My tears will wet the earth and we will cleanse the soil and we will win.

My (Norwex) Business Model

"Energized by the sun, Fueled by water." Becky Hammel
I don't love the sound of my own voice but I do talk...a lot. Too much?? Maybe. I remember report cards being sent home, "Great student, talks too much." Anyway, my point is, I CAN talk just fine. I like being asked to speak at events. I like being asked to share my story. I CAN do that (and yes, I usually do run over my time limit. I will work on that)

The top of my Norwex up-line recently asked me to share my business model at the team meeting this week. Of course, I didn't know what she meant..."Business model??! I can't share my business model with you as I don't have one." She asked me to share my Norwex story with our team by WRITING?! What? This is not my medium. I can't just wing it like I can speaking. I have to think about it first. And then edit and review. Cut and cut and cut and get it just right...this requires work!  but for my team, I will do it. 

I signed up with Norwex 3 years ago in July. I signed up because I wanted Norwex for free for myself, friends and family. I was not motivated by the commission because I did not NEED the extra money, but I do LIKE having it. I didn't care about giving away my commission as it meant everyone could have Norwex in their lives. I live daily with a passion to eliminate chemicals and unnecessary trash. I want to get better living that life each day; and I can because of Norwex, and I wanted this for others. 

I reached all my FreshSteps goals in less than a month as well as a bonus for a $1,500 month.  After I saw how EASY it was to sell Norwex I wanted to make a go of selling it, why not after all, I was fairly good at it. 

Well, as soon as I made that decision to actively sell, guess what....I got pregnant with baby 3. Its funny, I find while pregnant people DON'T want to have a Norwex party because they feel guilty for making me work (I thought this was ridiculous as I was the one OFFERING to do it) So, I kept Norwex up throughout my pregnancy by just contacting people here and there to fill orders, give discounts and make sure they had detergent. It kept me engaged and active. Then I had the baby YAY! Then I became very sick BOO! So during that time I really don't even know what I did with Norwex, it was a very dark and busy time. I do remember Heather (who's asked me to write this...) coming to visit me and really pushing me to promote. I said that Norwex was the last thing on my mind as I was concentrating only on my family and recovering. She said that when the time is right that it would happen. 

Just as I was starting to feel better, we moved to California. California is unchartered Norwex territory so I was ready to rock it out here, and plus, I thought this would be just up California's street, wouldn't you? Let me tell you, it was like one road block after another. I think I had more success selling postnatal and unwell versus being healthy living in "green" California. 

I hit a major road block a few months ago (you can read about it in a previous post called "Pink Hair") I wanted to give up ON EVERYTHING extra in my life - social media...Norwex... but then, instead, I decided to get better. It was a CONSCIENCE decision to get better. And once I made that fully aware, totally conscience decision things started happening...

1. I took a social media course. I invested in myself and in training. I wanted to learn how to BE BETTER (my goal was not to make money, but to be better)

2. I got involved again with my passions. This helped me get in touch with me again. To be enthusiastic. To surround myself with people with passion and purpose. As well as BE a person of passion and purpose. 

3. To touch my business everyday for 10 minutes (Either a Facebook or Twitter post or maybe reaching out to a customer)

So, technically, those 3 things are my business model for my success. After making that decision I got two personal recruits and have promoted to Team Co-oridinator. No where in my model is to have money as my goal but to be a person of passion and purpose and invest in myself and make fully aware and conscience decisions.
