Things are going to start to look a little different around here. I will of course be sharing traditional and digital scrapbooking and all the other projects in between!
However, after 8 years as a CTMH consultant I am switching gears. I hope you will keep reading and find out why it was hard to say no to this amazing opportunity with Lisa Bearnson and the founder of Heritage Makers, Wendy McGee and what’s in store for you! 
So, you may be asking Why? How? Trust me, I did not go into this lightly. As you read this, please keep in mind while all this is transpiring I am smack dab in the middle of a Bible study with Beth Moore about the Book of Esther. What does that have to do with anything? EVERYTHING! It’s all about destiny. It was about cleansing and washing your heart and making room for life! I didn’t know at the time how much it would impact me and the cleansing that was about to go down!
It all started with a phone call from someone from my past, like 10 years ago! We used to be leaders together at Leaving Prints and were good friends at the time. However, when LP closed it’s doors, there was a lot of conflict that followed. It was a very difficult time in my life, actually. So, what in the world would she be contacting me for?
Here was the message from Bible Study that week-
“You cannot amputate your history and fulfill your destiny.”
“Your past and your future share the same root”
REALLY God? This is what you are telling me? It couldn’t have been more fitting. Here a friend from a rather painful part of my life is knocking on my door. So, I answered. Trust me, God has been working on that part of me for YEARS! The whole forgiveness thing. I was glad He had prepared me for this.
It was the same old LouAnn though, spunky as all get out with her southern accent and super excited to tell me about what she is up to now. She’s rambling on about how Lisa Bearnson is coming out with a new product line and I could be on her team with this new company and get leads and so on and so forth. I immediately started laughing and told her I was quite content where I was and thanks, but no thanks. Don’t get me wrong it sounded very exciting and holy cow! Lisa Bearnson? Somehow, I managed to keep my composure and even patted myself on the back for not being impulsive. Later, I would get a text or a Facebook message telling me bits and pieces that started to peak my interest. Still, I was holding strong. I didn’t want to get caught up in the celebrity of it, although that was pretty freaking cool!
THEN…. Lisa Bearnson herself called and left a message on my cell phone. WHAT???? I really thought this was over and I made myself clear. I was not doing this. It even took me a couple weeks to return the call and leave a message. I was trying really hard to stay strong. Shortly after that, she tweeted at me. All the while I am deep in the middle of the Esther Bible study and the entire message is about destiny.
“God calls you by name” Apparently he was using Lisa this time!
So, now I have messages from God as well. I have learned to listen and not ignore those for sure! So, I gave in and decided I could at least listen to a recorded call about the opportunity. I immediately fell in love with Wendy and Lisa. The word integrity was used quite a few times. That really spoke to my heart.
It’s a little bit to wrap my head around. Here’s the long story short. A year and a half ago a company called Youngevity purchased Heritage Makers and Our Memories for Life. Shortly after, Wendy McGee, the founder of the company made a brilliant decision to bring Lisa Bearnson on as the Creative Ambassador for this division. Along with this, Lisa announced that she will have her own exclusive product line, Anthology AND will be looking for consultants to build a team and help her sell her product. 
I had a lot of questions and Wendy was happy to call me and answer them. I even spoke with Lisa’s marketing manager. I was beginning to see things differently and was beginning to feel cautiously optimistic. Unfortunately, doing this meant according to CTMH policy I could no longer be a consultant. So, it was time to make a choice.
“With Destiny Comes Dilemma” is the next messsage in the series. Well, I am glad that God decided to remind me of what I already clearly knew. UGH! you can’t ignore stuff like this. Does’t He realize I am waist deep in kids and responsibilities. DId he also forget that Scott travels quite a bit? So, you think now is a good time to walk away from what I know and start a new business?
“ God’s time is prime”
This isn’t about me. It’s about me helping others to find their purpose. “To identify is to testify”
So, with peace in my heart, I am now a new member of Team Lisa! I am embarking on a new adventure as a publishing consultant with Heritage Makers, Our Memories for Life and coming very soon- Anthology by Lisa Bearnson! All of this under the parent company, Youngevity. This gives me an even wider audience to share my story with. Plus, a greater variety of projects to create and materials to use. Most of all, it helps me do the one thing I love to do. Encourage and inspire other women to feel empowered. To value themselves and see their purpose in this crazy world. To help others tell their story. To make sure people know they matter! I am looking for people to help me do just that!
