New Year, New Me

Well, here we are. The holidays are finally over, but now it’s time for everyone to start “working” on their New Year’s resolutions. For some, it will go the same way it does every year: we have good intentions, but abandon them for the good old comfort of what they are use to. For some, they will get through the first couple of weeks, then decide what they wanted isn’t happening as fast as they wanted it to, then give up. Finally there are going to be those who stick with their resolutions either for themselves, their kids, or because their choices are do it or face something even harder. I plan on being part of the third group this year, after talking about it for so long.

What Has Avon Done for Me?

When I first started my Avon business in February 2018, I had a lot of different things I wanted to accomplish because of my business. Some of them where to have a reason to get out of the house, to meet people in the community, and to make friends. Fortunately for me, these are all goals that I can continue to achieve and keep as goals because I will always need a reason to get out of the house (not necessarily want, but need), I will need to continue to meet people in my community, and I will always want to make new friends (whether I admit it or not).

What is it about Avon?

Before I came back to Avon, it had been a couple of years since I had worked. I've worked all kinds of places in my life, but none that I loved quite as much as Avon (but armed security and embroidery were a close 2nd and 3rd). I don't know what it is about this company, but being able to make the friends I have, come out of my hole I've dug for the last 8 years, to help reintroduce Avon to people who haven't seen anything about it in years, and to become the Avon Lady for people who lost theirs for various reasons, has just made me feel like such a different person than I was 11 months ago.
