Gardening and Success
When one realizes they choose, in every situation, how you feel about living is remarkable. Everything in life is our choice. Our self-love stems from that. Choices for me have been hard and frightening, like moving to California for a boy I thought was magnificent (yet no commitment yet), or simple yet powerful choices, like choosing to grow food not lawns.
Our yard was destroyed when the contractors had to rebuild after a fire in our home. As Earl would ask, “what should we do,” my heart knew I wanted a garden. I have fond memories of my grandfather’s lushly scented garden, his beautiful tomatoes and the joy he took in it. Of how my father loved to press flowers in phone books. I wanted to grow flowers and especially food.
Earl agreed. Having parents that died early in life, 53 and 61, we knew how important food was to living long, full lives. April 2020 will start our twelfth year growing our own food. The garden is 9000 square feet, high-density, organic, urban and we grow food and flowers ALL year.
It has been an adventure in choices.
Dig trenches, raise beds, composting. How? Ok, raised beds, clay way too hard to dig, and composting is “dirt man’s” (i.e. Earl) job. Planting and harvesting. When? Will mother nature agree? Probably not, but seasons are short. Plant high density to get the best return on investment.
A drought? Are you kidding me woman? Ok, choose to grey water. Be more sustainable. Put a damn bucket in the sink! Keep it there when the drought is “over.”
Wait, why is that ONE kale plant shaking, like the wind is blowing, in that HUGE 8x4x2 box of greens? Fuck me it’s a fucking mole! Dig the dirt out of all NINE boxes, ALL 64 square feet of it, times NINE boxes, put mole guard down, fill them back up. Who says gardening isn’t a workout! lol
Slugs. Snails. Aphids. Organic is hard. Pick and rub them off. Oh my look at that, we attract Monarchs! I was going to dig out all that milkweed, choose to leave it. And that is a huge praying mantis! Organic is paying off.
Summer. Harvest cucumbers, zucchini, beans, corn, and peppers. Holy tomato! They are in abundance this year! We didn’t grow them to compost them or give them all away. Learn to can. Pickle. Freeze.
Winter. Harvest greens, cabbage, beets, carrots, choys, celery. Wow did it just get THAT warm in February? The bok choy is bolting. Learn to ferment. Make kimchi.
Be ready to do that WHEN the plants say it’s time. Be willing to share with those that appreciate.
“Hey friend, want something from the garden since we are coming over?”
“Sure, how about some zucchini?”
“That doesn’t grow this time of year.”
“Oh I never thought of that, we buy it all year at the grocery.”
Choose to eat seasonally. Choose to learn new fun creative ways to eat seasonally so it isn’t boring. You should see what I can do with zucchini!
Yes, I choose. In every situation. Big or small. Hard or easy. Having this garden has shown me that I can, at any given moment choose. I can choose overwhelm, stress, frustration. I can choose adventure, learning, creativity. Hard or easy is also a choice. But the state of not choosing will eat away at our soul. Make a choice: left or right; fat or thin; stay or go, love or leave. And then BE in that choice. Make a choice about making your life better, not the same as it has always been. Year after year, day after day. The choice is yours.
CTFO Anti-Aging Under Eye Cream!
This is a luxurious under eye cream, also lovingly known as bye-bye puffy eyes! I am a HUGE skincare junkie, and I have some favorites that are EXPENSIVE (ehem, Perricone…) But they work, I see results! I am old, so removing wrinkles, maybe not so much, lol, but I do believe in great skincare! I know it is why I don’t look as old a I am. During one of our flash sales I decided to try this eye cream, what the heck, it was so affordable, and I can never have too much skincare!
Because of the anti-inflammatory properties of CBD included in the product, it can help with puffiness and discoloration! Which is how it gets it’s nickname.
I have to admit, I was amazed at how big the jar is! For eye creams it is a VAT! ( it will last a long time)
This cream absorbs beautifully and leaves my eye area soft and supple. If you put makeup on your eyes it applies nicely, not causing greasy creases. I use it mostly at night, and do not wake up swollen and puffy!
Here are what some customers are saying!
Kerry L. says: “One week after using the Eye Cream, I wasn’t even consistent.. Some days only applied in morning. No makeup, and I think my face looks softer. I was skeptical, I gotta admit. I’m definitely convinced it works!!
Anne E. Says: “Bags & Dark Circles under eyes so much better! I always wake up with these ugly dark circles and puffiness under my eyes. I have used the Under Eye Cream for only 3 days now, and I can ALREADY see a difference! And direct from Sharm:

Leads Generation: What Can You Do?
One challenge of growing a direct sales business is LEADS! You can only ask your friends and family so many times! Social media works if your reach is wide. I find that many people starting in direct sales do not have a strong social media presence, so it can take time, and requires you put some effort into it.
Of course, buying leads is always an option.
I have tried several lead companies, even ones specifically geared to people interested in the CBD business. Some were quite expensive! I found one company offered qualified, quality leads for the right price! Leads for You has been fabulous for our direct sales business!
Leads for You finds people interested in “work from home” opportunities, exactly what we do with CTFO.
These leads are extremely accurate and you are given details necessary to follow through: complete name and address, phone, as well as the date, time and IP they signed up for the info. All in a CSV excel file for easy use. I quickly upload mine to my autoresponder and follow up!
Best yet? People are opening my emails, responding to texts and signing up!
Will need to have good copy to email, and be willing to send a few emails, even a text or two, but anyone willing to do that, I will give you everything we use that works when you join our team.
So consider leads, and give away those free CTFO businesses!

Choices are Impacting your Life: Positively and Negatively
I love
️starting, there is an excitement to starting, it’s so fresh and new! Finishing I really had to work on! It’s like once I “get it” it didn’t excite me anymore. I related to this story from 🦈Shark Tank. Can you see parts of yourself in it?
A gentleman who called him self an inventor, not an entrepreneur, came on with the first product he invented as a teenager. When he was asked by the Sharks more about his background he shared:
“One day my girlfriend asked me to move an elliptical out to the garage, I couldn’t get the elliptical through the door without either taking it apart, or taking the door off. The easier solution was taking the door off. So I did and put the elliptical in the garage for her.”
“When I told her I finished getting it in the garage, she said: ‘great, now put the door back on its hinges.’ I teased her about not giving me credit for getting it out there and her comment was: ‘you never finish anything you ever start so go put the door on it hinges.’”
He explained further that was the pivotal
moment for him. SHE WAS RIGHT. He went and dug out his dollar store notebook that he has had for 15 years, since he was a teenager. It is filled with all of his inventions and he went to the very first one and patented it and started selling it.
And guess what? She is now his fiancé.
This amazing man realized that having something as simple as putting the door back on changed his life forever. He simply made a choice.
Read these questions and as each one it true for you say YES out loud.
Are you one to start something and rarely finish it?
Do you put conscious energy into completing what you started?
Do you frequently say you bore easily?
Do you think you suck at sales?
Are you telling yourself you’re too busy?
Are you saying it’s too hard?
Where you honest with yourself as you answered?
Did you finish the assignment and say yes out loud?
The point of the story, and these questions is in every moment WE CHOOSE. He chose to finish things from that moment forward. Every choice is pivotal for the next step. Where do you need to make a different choice?
CBD Massage Oil: Take Care of the Body
Why not a massage oil with CBD! It makes perfect sense! Sore muscles benefit from the anti-inflammatory components of CBD.
Our anointing massage oil is delightful. At first you might think this is a tiny bottle of massage oil but it definitely packs a punch! A little bit goes a long way; some massage oils absorb into the skin so quickly that you are continuously needing more. This is absolutely not true with this oil!
Anointing! Such a sexy name, Anointing, and its scent is cinnamon. Does it give a light warming sensation? Maybe, but it’s not extreme!
What a great gift to give a partner. Show up with this oil and rub their shoulders or back…! As my husband would say: #winning !
For anyone who does fascia blasting this is now my oil of choice. It only makes sense why doing fascia release to use an oil with the power of CBD inside!
CTFO and Getting Paid
How we get paid. Funny thing. Every organization has a pyramid. The difference between the corporation most work for in the pyramid and the CTFO organizational structure is you get to earn how much you want and you can get profit-sharing and you get a will-able and sellable business.
I guess if I have to pick a pyramid… I’m picking this one, LOL
In the traditional corporate structure how much you work is determined by someone else. In a corporate structure how much you are paid is determined by someone else. And you will rarely, if ever, earn more than the person above you.
We now make more in commissions than our sponsor! THAT is doable at CTFO!
Partner with CTFO Global Frequency and you have EQUAL opportunity to build your business, to earn what you want (requires effort and some hustle on your part!) and free yourself from the grind!
We get it; MLM skeptics you are turned off by the hype. Think about it like starting your own business. The advantage here is that a marketing strategy, as well as all the products are ready. You just need to build your customer base. Most entrepreneurs have to do all the other pieces first.
CTFO brings a revolutionary way to do multi-level marketing, as there are absolutely 0 start-up costs associated with joining, their products are not overpriced, buying products is not required, there are no quotas, and it pays 20% commissions ALL direct sales WEEKLY.
This is a real opportunity for anyone wanting the freedom of the corporate grind and structure!

How To know CBD is Quality
When buying CBD it is important to be a smart consumer! Don’t just take someone’s word for it. So do you know your CBD is quality? Don’t just believe the website because they “say” it is tested (there are many “French models out there, lol) they actually test the product. Most people I know wanting to take CBD for their health and well-being want clean, pure and good for their bodies.
CBD Lab results should be easy to find for you the consumer! Here is what to look for!
3rd party lab results…check for:
- Certificate of Analysis with the DATE (if it’s 3 years old….not a good sign) Many CBD sites claim “lab tested” from one original batch, each batch sold should be tested and easy to find on the site.
- The laboratory is ISO accredited. This means they must hold to highest standards of testing, which is monitored by a governing body.
- Confirmation that the product is free of contaminants: heavy metals, solvents, pesticides or microbial contaminants, such as mold or bacteria should all say PASS or ND (not detected). Many CBD companies are only testing for CBD potency and ALL these things negatively impact your health.
- Actual CBD amounts in the product: if the bottle says 500mg CBD, does the lab test confirm?
- Confirmation that the THC is .03% or less. This keeps it legal and ensures no psychotropic effect.
- You can find our cbd lab results here!
These
things are a great start, if you want a superior product there is more to ask
about.
In addition:
- Is the CBD oil CO2 extracted? Other forms of extraction destroy core molecules and break the CBD down. And other methods are chemical and solvent based.
- How and where is the hemp grown? Organic, harvested with a Good Manufacturing Practices ensures the best quality.
- Is there a representative of the company and their products that can speak to what to take and why? If you cannot easily call or message someone and get a quick response? Buyer beware.
- Are there fillers in the ingredients? If you cannot see the ingredients can you get the list easily?
- Is the carrier a high quality to protect the CBD from light, heat and air? Glass is the highest quality packaging to protect the CBD from breaking down. It is completely airtight even after opening. Because the oils are food grade, plastics can leech toxic chemicals as they are porous.
Lastly, what is the price point? Cheaper isn’t better, it is actually a warning sign that the company ISN’T doing all these things! So spend a little more, get better quality, and take care of you and those you love! Learn about our quality CBD here! Contact us with questions.

In selecting a new stream of income we wanted to be sure it was something we could get behind, but it was also important that we picked a company new in the game with potential explosive growth.
That is absolutely what we found! We love the product and can 100% stand behind it. We see results not only personally, but others who have tried other CBD are so happy with CTFO products. And the business is only about three years old and growing globally into billions of billions of dollars. That means our earning potential is limitless.
We also appreciate integrity of the company and how we earn is very simple if we lay the foundation. We have done a bunch to be educated and believe everyone should be taking it. Because it is trending it is easy to sell! We have a huge support network to help us be successful!
The CBD product line? High quality, better grade that medical, and priced competitively! And we have a patented CBD that is a best seller, and cutting edge because the way it’s made keeps the integrity of CBDA! (Heat and acid destroy CBDA, which we have in our bodies, not with our 10x!)
