I thought I would do some updating on mine and Chady's CRAZY LIFE! I know it has been forever since I blogged last, and let me just tell you it drive me nuts because I absolutely LOVE blogging!!
So my last blog was about our ACN trip to San Jose, CA! I still can't even begin to tell you how excited I am!! Now we are just waiting for September to come around the corner so we can go to Charlotte, North Carolina.
I Have been working like crazy, but still not as much as most people do so I can't complain too much I suppose haha. I work about 40-50 hours a week depending on the week, and I am never letting a day go by that I am not showing, or telling someone about ACN. I can't even begin to tell you how exhausted I am, because my life is never ending. Chady is working full time as well, at Sears, and just got moved to the appliances department which is like a promotion! haha He also got asked by the owner of RC Willey (a furniture company) to come work for them because he was so impressed with his Sales ability. What can I say I married quit the guy;p I am so proud of him and I both. We only get to hang out with each other starting at 10 p.m so we usually have pretty late nights so we can get some time together.
I also have come to a big self realization about my skin disease. I have never been one to feel sorry for myself, or never been one to ask for others to feel sorry for me as well. I always looked at it as an unfortunate thing, but as an unfortunate thing that could be much worse. What I realized though is that I have been given ann opportunity to bless peoples lives more than I think I realized, and I notice this more and more when people share with me how inspired they are. And I can't help to think to myself "I, inspire you?". I feel so happy and tear up every time someone messages me about how I inspire them, or how I gave them courage, and it is such a warm feeling that makes me smile for hours. I had to share that just because it really made me smile when an RVP (Regional Vice President) of our company was so inspired by me that he said he wanted to share my story with thousands, and that God has a purpose larger than what Chad and I even know, and it just made me so happy. This man is well known in our company and is even recognized in Success from Home Magazine, he always speaks in front of thousands, and just thinking that he wants to share my story was so amazing. So I realized that something I thought was so small, is so big to someone else, and if thats the case than my reason for being Bald has been justified, and I could stay content with being this way forever if it means changing the life of someone else.
OH P.S! They think they found a cure for Alopecia! HAHA pretty cool!
So anyways.. thats our life in a nut shell. We figure work our ever living butts off now, and play later... but not too much later:p Mark my words we will go places, and its just around the corner...

Acn international Event, changed my outlook on life and my future
So as most of you know by now, I was able to finally make it to an International event! And this time i was in San Jose, California (next one in September in Charlotte, North Carolina).
I always heard so many wonderful things about attending this event, that it will "change your life", that "you can't become Senior Vice President without attending these events". No the money does not go to any of my up-line, or to the co-founders the money we pay is for our seat in the arenas which are always sold out. like at least 20, 00 people worth. I didn't fully understand how this event could be SUCH a big deal, until this weekend. I was pumped before, but now not only am I pumped, I know my future will change in only a matter of a few years.
Chad and I have so many goals for ourselves in our lives, and we know all that can be possible with the blood, sweat and tears we put in now, and the life we can have in just a year if we wanted. I know all of this sounds so crazy, and so surreal to most of you. I know most of you think this is still a scam and think to yourself "Oh man, what is Brooke doing she is going to get screwed" but I want you to know that I have yet to be screwed over, I have seen this company work because I am one of them who has made residual income. I now know there is nothing that can stand in my way to keep me from going to the top.
We got the opportunity to listen with billionaire entrepreneur and endorser, Donald Trump who's only company he endorses without personally making money for himself is ACN. I also got to hear from Publisher of Success magazine, Darren Hardy. These are two guys who make a lot of money, but recognize this exceptional opportunity, and after hearing them talk about ACN in such an amazing way I knew this wasn't going anywhere.
So I don't want to write this in hopes for people to maybe wake up, I am writing it in hopes that people will start taking my decisions a little more seriously so I don't have to say "I told you so" in a few years.
Here are some wonderful things I heard from Donald Trump, Darren Hardy, and the co-founders of ACN:
1. Grow personally in every area of your life.
2. With ACN you can have a great professional life, and personal life.
3. Acn will give you residual income, and will bless your residual outcome of your life.
4. This is NOT get rich quick, there is hard work to be done. ANYTHING THAT HAS VALUE DOES NOT COME EASY.
5. There will be disappointments. Somedays I will feel like quitting, somedays I will say I don't know if I can make it, but I will NEVER quit.
6. ACN is a documented company, not a company just starting up hoping we will make it.
7. Fed your faith not your fears
I can't wait to accomplish so much, and build a wonderful life together with my Husband. I love you!

Ignite your Beauty
"The western women will save the world"- The Dalai Lama
I wanted to start off my blog with that quote. Basically what it is saying, is that because of our freedom we do not having anything standing in our way such as; government, and other religions that do not allow us as much freedom and right to stand up for what is right. It is up to us beautiful women to change the way we view beautiful, and how we can allow ourselves to feel beautiful all the time.
I recently went to a convention about Igniting your Beauty. I was invited by a friend who thought I should come because she saw how happy I was with myself in the picture of my husband and I with my hair off. The truth is, I am not as comfortable within my skin than most people think. There are so many things that just allow me to be brave, and strong enough to overcome my trouble to find beauty within myself. The first thing, is my lovely husband who never lets a day go by without telling me how beautiful I am with and without hair. Now, do I always believe him, no! There are days I feel horrible, and that I just can't stand to look at myself, and I can say confidently that I know I am not the only woman who goes through this occasionally.
It is time to....
Star in your own life
If you could live your life feeling more beautiful, and more confident about that one area on your body what would it change?
would you have the unshakable confidence to take your movie, and your story to the big screen? After all, we all have a story to tell so that that one person who was meant to hear it can then learn and grow.
These are all things we were asked to think about at the convention. I had the pleasure of listening to amazing women who were able to reach that time in their lives where they said they had enough. They were done not being enough for their husbands, and more importantly for themselves.
I am pretty sure I was the youngest woman there, and I was first worried that nothing would pertain to me, but I had my Break through, and Ah Ha moments so many times throughout the time I was with the ladies.
There were so many times I was actually really proud of myself for not bursting out in tears, though it would not have mattered, I could just feel the pain a lot of those ladies were going through, but how strong they were becoming.
I had the honor of listening to so many great speakers, but one in particular stood out to me. She is a make up artist, and a very successful one who has worked with many talented stars. She talked about make up and how it can either Mask or Magnify, enslave or serve, hide or heighten, and crutch or crown.
She went on to share that we as women cover ourselves without even using make up. We do a mental block of ourselves, and don't allow others to see truly who we are. It can start with a broken heart, by holding a grudge and never letting it go, becoming greedy, becoming dirty in our thoughts, and eventually our face begins to fade and not even you can recognize yourself when you look in the mirror.
I could truly write so much more but I will focus on one last thing..
After hours and hours of listening to so many empowering women, and witnessing so many break through moments for myself, and other women, and learning how to open up, we did the "Angel walk". I had never experienced this before until that night. It started with us making a U-shape with one person standing in front of the other so it formed a path. There was this soft, and beautiful music. Each woman would have to close their eyes, and trust that the "angels" in the line would guide them through the U-shaped walk. Not only did we do that, but each and every single one of us would whisper into their ear what they were. When it came to be my turn, I broke down, it started with tears, but it was in my heart that I felt so amazing. Many would whisper, "you are beautiful" "you are joyous, and divine", and that "I have done good in this world". What I imagined as I was walking, I visioned myself walking through Heaven and having the angels of my Heavenly Father telling me that I had made it, that I accomplished what I was sent to this earth to do, and that I was on my way to meet God, and His son Jesus Christ. It was such an amazing feeling, and I hope we get to experience something similar to that when we do make it to Heaven.
I became a different woman at the end of that convention, it was only one day, and only one time that I have gone, but I met so many wonderful and expiring people who will always be in my heart.
There can never be a more beautiful you.

Best Mommy, ever!
For the spirit of Mother's Day, I had to write a tribute to my Hero, my best friend, and my sister at heart, My Mom.
I am so happy that every year there is an entire day dedicated to mothers who well deserve to be appreciated, and recognized.
MY mom is much different than most. She is young, and was dedicated to being a mother since the day I was born 20 years ago. She was 16, and I have no doubt that she was scared out of her mind. She could have put me up for adoption, or she could have done many other horrible things, because she wasn't ready to be a parent. But in our perspective, it was all meant to be. We grew together, and faced a lot of challenges together from day one. My mom is strong, she is loving, and she is caring. She set the rules for me when I needed rules, but she was there as a friend for me when I needed one. She always remembered to put parenting first, and being the cool parent last, she made me do chores, clean my room, and always do my homework before I was aloud to go anywhere. She set the bar high for me, that I would succeed in life, and she still does.
She looks out for my health, and makes sure that I am taken care of before she takes care of herself. She based her life decisions all for me. From who she dated, when she went to school, who she hung out with etc. I am also prouf to say that she was able to handle all this while still getting her highschool education, and later becoming a Nurse. SHe never gave up, so she could give me a healthy and pleasean life.
She is my Hero for keeping me in my life, when I am sure others told her not to. She is my best friend because she has ALWAYS been there for me as a child needs her mom. She is my sister at heart for our challenges we have faced together, and have shed tears together. And she is my mom because we were put in eachothers to bless eachother, because God knew that we would be the perfect Mother and daughter together.
I am still her baby girl, and I always will be. And I am proud to have such a strong, beautiful, and
amazing mother who I know will never give up on me, and will never stop wanting what is best for me. Happy Mothers day MOMMA!!! I Love you!

New Eating plan
Ok so I have officially gained all my weight back from what I lost with my Thyroid problem, which is great! Bun now I feel gross. I went and bought all these skinny jeans, and I felt so proud that I could fit in a size 2! haha but that has changed... I went to put on my jeans just yesterday, and I got them over my butt, but as I go to button them, my hips got in the way, and now they don't fit!! I have become too comfortable with eating whatever I want, and the doctor told me to beware of that because it is hard to break the habit once I start taking my hormone replacement pills to regulate my Thyroid. SO I am doing a diet. Not a diet to loose weight again, but a diet full of only 1600 calories a day which is 2oo calories less than what I should be having a day. I want to tighten everything starting with my butt. Chad loves my butt lol so I don't plan to loose it, but make it hard as a rock!!!
I decided to make note of this on my Blog so that everyone who reads this can give me crap when I eat like crap, and so I can remind myself of what my goal was, and why I am doing it. By the end of May I will have a four pack visible without me having to flex, and maybe have a nice muscle curve on my legs. I say maybe because no matter how active I was when I was younger I could never get the muscle curve on the back of my leg. I also want a little bump on my arms that make it look toned lol. I also feel like having a nicer body will make me feel better about myself when we go on our cruise in December because I am NOT going to be wearing a hot and sweaty wig all day at the pool, just a hat.
So I will be toned by May 29th!
Hold me to it!

Easter
“With all my heart and the fervency of my soul, I lift up my voice in testimony as a special witness and declare that God does live. Jesus is His Son, the Only Begotten of the Father in the flesh. He is our Redeemer; He is our Mediator with the Father. He it was who died on the cross to atone for our sins. He became the firstfruits of the Resurrection. Because He died, all shall live again. ‘Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives: “I know that my Redeemer lives!” ’ May the whole world know it and live by that knowledge, I humbly pray, in the name of Jesus Christ, the Lord and Savior, amen.”
I could not have a blog, and not wrote about the only man who has been there for me every step of the way since the time I was born and before. His name is Jesus Christ. He is the most wonderful man who has ever walked this Earth. This month and year is a celebration for His resurrection. He had been mocked, betrayed, and torchured, all for us. I love the song "I know my redeemer lives", and what joy that sentence does give. "He lives, he lives who once was dead, he lives my ever living head. He lives to bless me whith his love, He lives to plead for me above, He lives my hungry soul to feed, He lives to bless in times of need. He lives to guide me with his light, He lives to comfort me when faint, He lives to hear my souls complaint. He lives, and while he lives i'll sing, he lives my Prophet, Priest, and King."
I am so thankful for the knowledge I have of Him. I have been through a lot in my life, something that I know would be a struggle to others, but I know I have overcome so much with His help. I know that whatever I go through, he has gone through worse, and is the only one who has truly felt my pain. I know that every trial I am blessed with is Him molding me into the person He wants me to become. I know that when I speak to Him, He listens and in magical ways he answers my questions. I can not see Him, but I can feel His Spirit, and feel His guidance every step of the way. I am so happy He died for us so we could be forgiven, and live on Earth to prove our righteousness as return to live with Him some day.
He is my Father in Heaven, who truly know my heart inside and out. He is the best Father I could have ever asked for. He is Jesus Christ. So remember Easter is not just about candy, or Easter egg hunts, although it is fun, but the True purpose is to celebrate the one who died on the cross, and poured his blood so we could be forgiven and have life, and have a chance that we can be with him some day. We were once up in Heaven rooting for him and his plan, and were so excited to live life on Earth, and live right to be with him again, so lets not forget why we are here in the first place because we chose to be here in this specific time for a reason:) I can not to wait to meet Him again someday, I can only Imagine.
HAPPY EASTER!
