Hi T.!

I'm a mother to a 3 year old and a 7 month old (both girls). I love staying home with them and having the opportunity to work as little or as much as I like.

I am a Pampered Chef Consultant. I started with them back in August 2007 when I was 7 months pregnant. There's nothing to it. The products sell it's self. The Pampered Chef is a great company with great people to help you achieve your dreams.

Let me know if this is something you may be interested in.

Good Luck!

I work for ENH. There are always opportunities, and someone with your background I'm sure they will consider. Go to www.enh.org Have you also checked out Career builder and Monster? Have you thought of a temp agency in the interim? Manpower is a good temp agency. Good luck!

Why should you waste your talents and skills as someone else's employee...while you help make them rich? Be your own boss! It's easier than you think.
Let me introduce myself. My name is V. Taylor-Carter and I'm an a Director for Melaleuca, Inc. Maybe you've heard of our company. Melaleuca is one of the world’s largest internet retailers of green products. Over the past five years our team has earned over $5.5 million (mostly part time).
We are looking to partner with a limited number of individuals who have finally realized that a good job doesn’t equate to a great life. The people that we work closely with have already made a decision that they want change! Maybe you're thinking: "But, I don't have the skills or education to make good money from my home."
Don't worry. Success comes from all walks of life: college grads, factory workers, stay-at-home moms, retired couples. All you need to succeed is the right attitude. We provide all the training materials. No sales experience is required either.
This is what we offer;
More freedom: Spend time with your family and children. You can go on vacation when you want. You'll never have to request time off in advance or settle for a measly 2-week vacation every year.
More money: Even with annual raises, no employee ever became a millionaire. You make more as your own boss and you decide how to spend it.
Empowerment: You set your schedule, you choose your salary, you work where and when you want without punching a time clock or working under the watchful eyes of a supervisor or boss.
Less stress: No deadlines (except the self-imposed variety), no boss, no co-workers, no cubicles, no stress.
Sounds great, right?
Here's what to do now...
Our home business opportunity delivers proven results, you be the judge.
If you are serious about having your own home business, simply call me directly at ###-###-#### or email me at www.desiresnsheridreams.com and I can spend 10 minutes sharing with you my experience and how I have helped my team earn over $5.5 million here in Chicago.
So what are you waiting for? The road to becoming your own boss and a secure income is only a phone call away.

Sincerely,
V.
Director III

Hi T.,
If you're looking for immediate income you may want to consider starting your own business. The start up is very low and you can make money from your first tasting party! I am a Registered Nurse so I am passionate about promoting health. I started Wildtree 3 months ago and my business is rapidly growing. Wildtree was founded on the premise that food should be natural, nutritious,delicious, and easy to prepare-all at the same time. Wildtree's products are PEANUT free,and contain NO preservatives,No additives,No MSG or dyes. They also sell grapeseed oils which have half the saturated fat than olive oil and is healthier and taste better than olive oil. Grapeseed oils contain Vit E, Omega 3 & Omega 6 which help lower cholesterol. Grapeseed oils have many other benefits and I can discuss that with you in detail. I enjoy wildtree because it's food, it's healthy, easy to prepare, and again it's All natural FOOD! People love to taste new foods so this is an easy business because people try it and they fall in love with it! Wildtree is the ONLY direct sales company that is ALL Natural with infused flavored grapeseed oils. I am also a RN, and mother of 3 young children and very busy. However, I started Wildtree because wildtree is on ground level and a great business opportunity and I love the food and I want my family to eat healthier. I would love to bring you a sample of the infused flavored grapeseed oils to taste. Contact me for further information.

Naturally yours,
C. Manikis, RN
