Since I left my 15 year corporate marketing career this past fall '07, I have been building an Arbonne business. I now have teams in Missouri, Rhode Island and Iâ??m building a local team in New England. With an Arbonne home-based business, I choose how to spend my time each day. I wake up excited to start the day instead of dreading the mornings, a long commute and the rush of getting out of the house. More importantly, I now play more of an active role in the childrenâ??s lives, but I also have a home based business in which I control the level of success I want to achieve. I now volunteer, work out more often, sleep longer, and pursue more of my own interests. It is priceless to not be the last one to pick up the kids at day care.
My interests:
Exercise, entertaining, reading, skiing, biking, manicures and learning tennis.
The Glass Castle, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, Eat, Pray Love (can't pick just one)

In response to your question, I have found the best way to balance work and home life by starting my own home-based business with Arbonne this past fall....
