Wealth

Wealth - is it money? a nice house? nice cars? nice vacations? high asset value? a full refrigerator? Is it being free to be home with your children and around for your husband? Is wealth going to Walmart putting whatever you want in your buggie, and not worrying about how much money is in the bank or what time of the month it is (I got that one from Sonya Dudley, one of my favorite YouTube people)? Is it a roof over your head?

Is wealth having health so you can work and be physically and mentally present with your friends and family? Is it just being with your friends and family - the mere presence of them in your life? Is it God's grace poured lavishly on you so you realize nothing you have ever done is good enough or, get this, bad enough to keep your from His love, His blessings and Heaven?

Wealth is all of this to me.  Part of my mission to to help others attain Wealth.  I commit to living this life and demonstrating wealth.  Lord willing, it will involve all the tangible things listed above.  I do want to go to Maui, I want zero debt, I love nice things, and you know I love the beach!!  I personally hate Walmart, but I want to be able to go to Aldi, Kroger, Target, Kirkland's, Sam's and Academy any time of the month, and get whatever groceries, clothes, and even house decorations we need (and want).

But most of all - ALL of ALL - wealth for me is being with William Sr, WmJr, Kyle, Tyler and living in the Grace of God. That's it.  God has already promised to provide what I need, so I can give up that worry.  I love our home.  When we began Chrissy Warren, LLC, we said, 
If we have to sell the house, sell the cars, whatever we have to do, we'll do it. Within just 3 short months, we were able to pay our bills.  This is God's favor and Wealth.  
Today was Youth Sunday at First Presbyterian Church in Conroe, TX where we are members. The kids shared, showed and sung from their hearts this morning how God shattered their illusions and always provided. The Sr. High went to the Bahamas - the poverty side, not the $M Yacht side.  They provided construction for residents who had Cerebral Palsy and other significant physical limitations.  They were overwhelmed at how "unlucky" (the kids' word) the residents were, yet how HAPPY they are.  Wealth.

Joy is Wealth.  Wealth is having our needs met.  Wealth is being free to spend time with each other.  Wealth is recognizing that we are earthen vessels to be used to help others and provide Light.  Wealth is making enough extra money to share it with others for purposes beyond ourselves.  Wealth is getting to work with the Youth Group this year!  We are so pumped to be around these kids!
  
I do want to vacation when ever we want.  I do want to win fabulous trips from selling Plexus. I do want to buy a car for my son.  I still like nice things.

But if I have learned anything in this life, I have learned that real Wealth is not money or things.  Wealth is people, community, friends, family, my church, and being a child of God.

I wish you Health, Wealth and Happiness!!!

ADD, ADHD "Mom, I hate my meds!"

As mother of 3 boys, all of which have been diagnosed with ADHD, this house is crazy fun, we struggle for organization, and most of us are amazing multi-taskers!  Actually, I am quite sure my husband and I both have Adult ADHD too!

As educators, we were trained in college in the era of medicating everyone with ADHD or ADD.  And we did have 2 of our children on medications.  1 of the boys did fine in school, and learned to control impulsivity.  Well, he is  learning everyday - as I am too! :)


Now, 10 years later, we know more about the condition, what triggers it, how to manage it, what foods to avoid, how to be self-aware, and how to set up systems in our home to help us worry less and remember more. 


What killed me is when William Jr came home and said,
 "Mom, I'm funnier when I don't take my medicine." Everyday he said, "Mom, I don't want to take my medicine." It broke my heart.  He is an awesome kid with a super sense of humor!  
Tyler was diagnosed, and they recommended Vyvance.  My husband, I and my mother-in-law all literally cried when we saw his precious personality completely go away.  He was a freaking zombie!  We pulled that in less than 1 week and switched to Aderall XR - which did nothing for him. 
No mother likes to medicate her children, but you do what you have to do for them to survive and thrive in school.
Then... insurance started jacking up the price for the drugs, making them completely affordable. I mean to the tune of $150-$250 for a month's supply for the boys.
When we as a family began drinking the Pink Drink for better health, we heard stories of people using Plexus Slim for adults with ADHD.  The boys began to notice a difference as well!! *Disclaimer: Plexus Slim is not indicated for children under age 18.    

Neither kids are taking their ADHD meds anymore, and they are sooooo happy!  They ask me every morning for Plexus - unless they go ahead and make it themselves.
By the way, it's way cheaper than what we were paying for drugs, and with so many more benefits - regular bowels, better sleep, reduced anxiety over school mean healthier kids. WmJr always had the sniffles - even after sinus surgery in 8th grade. Now he does not!!  His skin is clearer and he is a happy Senior! And I am a Happy Mom!
Learn all you can. Medications absolutely have their place. For my family, ADHD is no longer one of those places.

Fast Relief

After suffering from #Fibromyalgia, #endometriosis and #backpain for so long, I found the Fast Relief product line which gave me complete health finally!  So many prescriptions, NSAIDs, and even surgery did not relieve the pain to a manageable level.

Fast Relief takes true "magic from the sea, " bottles it up and puts it in a capsule.  An extract of Green Lipped Mussels found in New Zealand (who figured that out??), is an amazing anti-inflammatory that is All-Natural of course, so there is no harmful effect on the liver like there are with NSAIDs!  That was fine and dandy, but what got me, was that this gave me better relief than any other products I had tried over the years.

After taking it for 10 months, it was a no-brainer to add Plexus products to my LLC bag.
Try it!  What if you get this relief too?  Comment below if you would like a sample too!

Line in the Sand

What if you traveled 60% for your job and you had a senior in High School?  What if your youngest said, “Mom, please don’t leave again!”? What if you had Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, 2 surgeries and increasing work demands?  What if the economy left you with increasing costs but static income and debt was piling up? What if you were getting no where fast and all you had left for your family was a run down, injured, sick, stressed out self?
God spoke to me not once, but ALL THE TIME  - everywhere I turned – saying Prov 3:5-6.
Trust in The Lord – with ALL your heart.  (Chrissy) Lean not onto your OWN UNDERSTANDING.  In all your ways, ACKNOWLEDGE HIM, (and guess what?!)
HE WILL (HE WILL!!!) Direct your Path.
This summer my amazing husband, William, and I decided for the good of our family, my health and to build a present AND a future for us all, I would start my own business.  This has been the best decision I have ever made.  Hard? Yes!!!  (Figuring out this website nearly made me crazy!)  But rewarding as ever!!!
I recommend products of 2 wonderful companies – Plexus Worldwide and Dr. Connection Benefits – from the comfort of my home town in Conroe, TX, surrounded by my friends and most importantly, my family.  I have not left for business in 3 months!!
Chrisssy Warren, LLC launched August 1, 2014.  We are already able to pay our bills!   I am home to help all the boys with getting ready for school, lunches, organizing, homework, and I will attend ALL their events as well as my husband’s games as well!  This was not true 2 months ago.
Trust Me, Chrissy.  Abide in Me and I in you. Stay on the path I have shown you. Abandon your own understanding and Follow ME!

Draw your line in the sand.  Do what you are meant to do.  I never thought it would be starting my own business and Network Marketing!  But y’all, network marketing provides such a simple business model and unlimited opportunities, vacations and FREEDOM!  Enough is enough!
