Who is Melaleuca?

Some moms want to stay at home, but can’t because of financial obligations. We’re changing that!!

Moms want to be there for their kids but many also want to bring in some income. With Melaleuca, they can do both.

Many of you have asked me "Who is Melaleuca?" and there just wasn't an "easy" way of sharing it with you...until now!

If you'd like to see more and learn more on your own BEFORE we get a chance to talk in detail, you can! Simply go to www.melaleuca.com or CLICK HERE for a short video!

MOMS--we have the POWER to change our lives and our WORLD.

Much love and success,

Edie McRae--Mom of 2, CEO

Teamwork WORKS!

Another Tuesday Toot is here. Thank goodness--or else I'd not have the commitment to write! lol...
I'd like to say a word about teamwork. For a while, my business was in a plateau of sorts and I couldn't figure out why. After doing some soul searching and a few Q&A with some mentors, I came to the concluslion that somewhere along the way I had lost sight of my purpose--to enhance lives by helping others reach THEIR goals.
I didn't like admitting my selfishness, but the proof was there.
My TOOT is that for the past few months I've been focused on OTHERS and using my skills & experience to drive them forward. WHAT a difference perspective makes. When you truly focus on helping others get what THEY want, you too will get what YOU want. I've put it to the test and KNOW from my core that true teamwork DOES makes the DREAM work!

The Power of ONE...

There's something to be said for getting outside of your COMFORT ZONE! For the past 4 years, I've used my computer as a way to almost "hide" myself from the outside world. If truth be told, I have a huge fear of networking face to face. I decided that I wanted to get past this fear--not only to grow my business, but to grow as a person.

So, last week I joined a Women in Business organization here locally in Texas to meet other local business owners and network. TOOT TOOT!!! I was SO proud of myself. I was able to easily converse with each that I met and I exchanged business cards with everyone I came in contact with. More importantly, I was finally able to "see" myself as they see me--a business woman! No more thoughts of not being good enough or hiding behind my laptop. This is the start of something GREAT...I can feel it.

Pictures from Jubilee Event...

Here's the pictures of our "Mardi Gras in Texas" event for St. James Espiscopal School. We raised over $41,000 that night! WAHOO!!! It was a BLAST!~~Edie

Another Tuesday Toot!!!

Ok...my "toot" for today is that I stepped up to be the Bookfair Chairperson AGAIN for my son's school. If you've NEVER volunteered to run a Scholastic Bookfair you'd have NO idea how much work they are--but they are SO MUCH FUN! After all, it's for the kids!

Our theme is "Reading Roadtrip" and will be conducted in conjunction with our school's International Day celebration. Wish me luck!!!

Tuesday Toot!!!

How FUN!!! This is my first "toot", so here goes...
My hubby and I have been reading Dave Ramsey's "Total Money Makeover" together. It's AMAZING and has given us insights into our spending habits. We've been married almost 10 years and this is the FIRST time I can say that we're on the same page as far as our finances go. It's not about how much you earn, but how much you KEEP! So, my toot is that I PASSED UP a cute pair of shoes that I TOTALLY wanted, but did not need! YAY!!!!

It's a quick read and it will change your financial future!

Laisez lais Bon Temps ROULEZ!!!!

OK...for those of you NOT from New Orleans (or familiar with the French language) that means "Let the Good times roll!" It's the classic battle cry during Mardi Gras season in THE City (aka N'awlins!) and I'm so excited to be getting a little taste of "home" here in Texas. Yep...TEXAS Y'all!

My youngest attends a phenomenal private school in the town where we live and our Parents Association does MAJOR fundraising throughout the year to assist with the rising cost of education. Our largest event of the year is known as "Jubilee" and this year's theme is Mardi Gras! It's a night of dinner, dancing, and fun with both silent and live auctions--and I can't wait for Friday night.

It has been exciting to contact those from "back home" and invite them to share in our event via donations for auction as well as sharing with my fellow Texans the history associated with Mardi Gras. Yes, there is MORE to it than drunken displays on Bourbon Street! lol...

I actually felt like I was back in high school a few weeks ago (the GOOD part of high school, that is!) when I went shopping with my mom for a gown to wear to the event. It was SO thrilling to feel like a GIRL again! That was until my mom commented, "I think it's been over 15 years since we did this last!" OUCH!!! :-)

But, I'm not letting AGE get me down! I can't wait to get my hair and make-up done, slip on that black dress and totally knock the SOCKS of my hubby when I walk out! For the first time in a LONG time, I'll get to feel like the most beautiful woman in the world. We moms just don't get enough of that!

I'll post pictures this weekend after the event!

What's something that YOU haven't done in a long while to make yourself feel special?? Do SOMETHING today!
