Heritage Makers Reunion, at the Anaheim Marriott, CA

I just returned from an amazing weekend away with my Heritage Makers Family. We had our annual convention in Anaheim, Ca. at the Anaheim Marriott. There were over 400 women there who share my passion for Storybooking and preserving their heritage. There was so much good information, training, and uplifting motivation to keep us going in our business throughout the year. It was fun to be able to be with our team members in person, and to re-connect with friends from previous trainings, and to make new friends. We had 2 full days of workshops, with fabulous speakers like Karen Phelps, Wendy McGee, Joey O'Conner, Doug Cloward, Hallie Redd, and we even heard a tidbit from Oprah herself! Yep, that's right, you heard me. Turns out even Oprah believes in preserving stories. One of our Amazing consultants, Brenda Kruse, made her a book about Gracie, Oprah's dog that passed away a year ago, and sent it to her on the anniversary of her death. Oprah called her back and left a nice message expressing her gratitude. Click Here to listen to the message. Click Here to See the book. Click on "Full Screen", so you can read the story.

We also attended a Royal Ball on Friday night to recognize and honor those consultants who had advanced in rank, had phenominal acheivements, and completed and earned various incentives. As you know, "my life is a breeze!" Below is a photo of our Team:
