Campaign 23
Introducing BondGirl 007 Perfume- "Impossible to Resist"

"The Times They Are A-Changin' ...."

As we enjoy the change of seasons and look forward to the fast approaching holidays.....it's important to remember that our happiness and feelings of well-being depend on how we react to change; large and small. As the Greek philoshopher said "the only constant is change." Through the annual change of the seasons, the life cycle of plants and animals and even the daily progress of the sun from it's rise to it's setting, we can see that change has been built into the uninvers. Why should it be any different for us? As human beings our power over change is our reaction to it. We can resist change; kicking and screaming and live our lives stressing out and overwrought or we can live in peace, expecting change, accepting each change as it comes; embracing changes that get us excited, promoting change if we're not especially happy with the last change that came along. How do you relate to the changes the come into your life? I've had some big changes in the last two weeks. I applied for a job in my chosen career of child development and was offered the position of "Quality Improvement Specialist" for child care in Pottawattamie County. It's going to be big changes because it's been well over 10 years since I have worked away from home with a 40 hour/week schedule. I started Thurs. Oct 23rd! Just the physical adjustment of setting the alarm and getting to the job on time was a shock to my system but I'm sure I'll get accustom to it soon enough. Houseshold organization is going to be another area of big changes--everyone is going to have to pick up a little more of the household chores to that we can keep the Mahl home running smoothly (everybody eats, has clean clothes and the bathrooms are fit for human habitation...you know the routine). But one thing I am determined is not going to change and that is the service that I provide for my Avon friends and customers. I might have to change my delivery day/time and you might have to wait until evening for me to call you back to take your order but I promise to always make sure you get the best price available at the time you order, that I will provide prompt delivery and that The Happy News will continue.......


Embracing Change: My husband, Bob, will be helping me continue the high level of customer service that you have come to expect from Your 21st Century Avon Lady. It would be so great if you all could make him feel comfortable if he returns calls or make deliveries for me. He's off Tuesday thru Friday so he will be available to help me during that time. He's a nice guy and he likes and uses many Avon products. Recently a customer ordered Wanda, the Halloween Ghost (see photo on my blog) and then decided not to take delivery. I was sharing this with folks I know who really like Halloween to see if I could sell it for my price so that I wouldn't have to send it back. But when he saw it, he said "I kinda like that, can we keep it?" So if you come to my house for Trick or Treat you will be greeted by Wanda. I hope this is a change you can embrace....(Bob is huggable and I don't mind...) it's up to you!!!!!

Product Reviews

A new introduction in the men's perfume line coming in C-25 will be Patrick Dempsey's “Unscripted” .

"At the heart of Unscripted is the idea of living your life on
your own terms, and not by a written script. It's about loving what you do, and doing it in your own unique way, rather than being defined by rules."
—PATRICK DEMPSEY
Award-winning actor

Unscripted is a woody green fragrance that expresses the freedom of the open road with fresh, aromatic cardamom and invigorating cracked black peppercorn. At the heart, a sensual mix of fig and crisp lavender enrich the experience with a warm, sophisticated texture. The drydown reveals an unusual twist—a bold blend of exclusive leatherwood and patchouli heart wrapped in earthy vetiver and rich musk for an authentic, adventurous finish.

The Happy News Vol. 3 Issue 9

Enjoying the Game of Life

It has been fun and games at our house lately. Last weekend started with the Council Bluffs Library book sale wherein each family member came home with a big box or bag full of books that we don't really have room for but they were soooo cheap, and so interesting and sooo fun!
One of my purchases was "Become Happy in Eight Minutes"
by Siimon Reynolds. (no it's not a typo his first name has two i's).Here's my 8 second synopsis:
1. Stimulate your Thymus Gland by smiling , tapping on it or putting your tongue in the center of the roof of your mouth.
2. Breath deeply.... fill your lungs clear down to your
diaphraim and exhale slowly.
3. Drink fruit juice.
4. Visualize how you want to be & feel.
5. Move your body as though you were already happy.
Stand tall, put a bounce in your step.
6. Change the focus of your thoughts--- count your blessings

That's it!! Doing all or some of these is enough to improve any bad mood! Pass on to any grouchy relatives!

On Saturday, Lee and I had our semi-annual fun day in Missouri Valley at the Fall Frenzy Scrapaganza. We played with all our scrapbooking toys and paraphenalia, laughed alot and had a great time. If you'd like to learn about a "Score-Pal" or a "Crop-o-dile". We can set up a play dateat Omaha's Scrapbook Store on 72nd by PetSmart.
After the scrap, I was emailing our lovely hostess, Kim Cook from the Scrappin Patch and suggested that next spring we do some mixers to help us get to know all the other scrappers. Well Miss Kim didn't know what "mixers" were. Party games, icebreakers are other names for it. I found a few online and here is a site to find more of them.
