Everyone has a favorite pair of jeans.  The pair of jeans that are perfectly broken in, and when slipped on they feel great, and, you feel great when you wear them. The world seems to be in a perfect state of harmony.  Yes, overly exaggerated, but you know what I mean.

Well I have that pair of jeans, my tried and true 501s.  And then it happened, that unforgettable weekend. As I pulled them off the hanger, I can remember smiling, I even thought I heard the birds singing.  O-ya baby, that right, It was going to be a very good eansday.  I slipped them on Uh-o, what this, there was no slipping, only fierce tugging! Crud. But, with just a little extra effort on my part, the jeans are on, I did it, everything is OK!  But wait, there more, the two top buttons are seemingly having difficulty just sliding into the loops.  Why would they do this to me?  Surely it could not be the on going carnage of Ben and Jerry that my husband insists that I participate in.  This simply just isn my fault     .

So then it started.  I took ome ownershipin my upward climb into all new jean sizes.  As I turned around and faced my slightly dusty treadmill, I thought I heard the whistling music from the sound track, he Good, The Bad, and The Ugly  Yes, ridiculous, but hey, it was my freaky weird moment.  And from there, it was me and the treadmill every morning for 45 to 60 minutes.  I watched what I ate, when I ate it, how much I ate, and especially watched my husband very carefully as another Ben and Jerry container hit the trash can.  And after two weeks, I just new that my tried and true jeans were just going to be way to big.  WRONG! I did manage to drop 4 pounds in two weeks.  Not bad, I know.  But lets be real here, all that effort just should have landed me the cover of ports Illustrated Swim Suit Edition 

So that night, in the wee hours, tired, exhausted, and not feeling a lot of achievement from the work that I accomplished to become best friends with my 501s again, I hopped on the computer.  My intention was to find web sites that contained nutritional and health benefits for certain fruits and veggies.  This was to get me ired back up again

And then it happened, on the bottom of  one of the pages, I saw an add that said that I could loose 10 pounds in 14 days, 20 days I don remember. And I normally do not pay attention to those kind of statements, but then I saw Oprah name.  Still, normally not drawn into that kind of sales technique, I figured what the heck, Il read it, hat is she up to now

I found myself at the Wu-Yi Source web site at 2:00 in the morning, listening to the web video that they are almost out of tea, and even after you order it, they will send you an email the next day to let you know if they have any to ship you, huge demand, little supply, growing interest, Oprah this, Oprah that, random 25% discount to a few selected, supply is running low, hurry, we may not enough after midnight tonight well, crud, its already after 2:00 in the morning . I better hurry.

I never do that.  And when the order form came up with the andom 25% off which by the way everyone receives, I had no idea what I was ordering or even why.  For me, the instructions were slightly confusing at the time.  So one week later, 18 boxes show up UPS.  What in the world do I do with 18 boxes of Oolong Wuyi tea . well, duh, eBay them of course.  And this was my first attempt with selling on eBay. And this is how it all started.  And before that night on the computer, I never even heard of Oolong, Wuyi, Wulonng, cliff, rock, or bush.

So I put four boxes of tea up for auction, and I was stunned, just truly shocked at the response from the buyers as well as from all of the pop-up rand new sellersthat came out of the wood-works.  Amazing!

As time went buy, I found that I was really enjoying what I was doing. Feeling really great about what I am representing, and everything that I have learned from this experience. As well as from all of the research that I have been doing on teas, and all of the incredible Health Benefits from tea.

From that unforgettable moment that I realized that I needed to loose weight, or buy new clothes. And then from not having any clue what the heck I was ordering, or how much of it, I feel like I have a new lease on life.  My goals are by the end of August, I will have my own private label tea, and by the end of the year, I will have my own web store.  I am very excited about this grand new experience.  Please join me in up coming ow its going I would love to share this with you.  Thank you!

By the way, my jeans and myself have reconciled.
