Just wanted to let you know that I have been a demo for 7 years now, and my upline is no longer active. I found you awhile back, and had the priviledge of seeing you present at the Minneapolis Regional in February 2011. You truely are an inspiration to customers and to fellow demonstrators and I have spent the last 2 days combing your site to kick start my creativity! I will come back here often to recharge, which is something that my upline would have normally done for me! A huge thank you for all you are doing!
