About Me
I am a child of God...
...and a work in progress! There was a time that I thought I knew a lot. I thought I had it all together. I thought I had great advice for other people. I guess maybe you could call it progress, enlightenment, wisdom or maturity, but I just know that there is a lot I don't know!
I am a wife...
...happily married to William, my best friend for 15 years so far!
I am a mom...
...to five wonderful children: Calvin, Jordan, Ian, Gavin and Aaron. Our latest blessing has Down's Syndrome - so we are learning a lot about that!
I am a survivor...
...Ian passed away when he was only 3 months old (SIDS) I can't believe that I am still here. I always thought if something ever happened to one of my kids, you might as well bury me right along with them! Grief is a journey, healing is not a destination but a process!
I am a homemaker...
...not just by virtue of the fact that I am home all day, but because I choose to pursue this as an honorable vocation. I'm getting better at it every day!
I am a teacher...
...I graduated from "homeschool" in 1993 and have homeschool my children. Even though my oldest children are returning to school, I am continuing my journey as my children's first teacher.
I am a fragrance consultant...
...I joined Gold Canyon in 2010 because I love filling my home with fragrance - and they truly do have the world's finest fragrances! My original goal of being a Certified Fundraising Specialist was realized in August of 2011. I am excited about helping churches, missionaries, schools and all types of non-profits raise critically needed funds by selling candles.
I am a blogger...

What? Noel is cleaning?
In October 2010, I placed an order from my mother-in-law's Gold Canyon party, long distance, sight unseen - just to help her out.
One of the items was the Rosemary Mint All Natural Cleaner (which was a stretch for me, because I HATE TO CLEAN!) Something strange happened as soon as I opened the package: I wanted to clean something. I don't think that I've ever experienced this phenomenon in my entire life!
I quickly cleared the counter so that I could clean it. It smelled so good! The kids came in - "can we try too?" they wanted to know? I'm no dummy, I told them no! (It's reverse psychology!) "Maybe later" I said, enjoying the lingering scent of the clean counter.
The next day, I let them use it on the kitchen table, we all breathed deep of the lovely smell! Pretty soon, I noticed that I was cleaning the kitchen voluntarily. Even my hubby noticed and did dinner dishes before bed, wanting to leave it as nice or better than he found it!
Also in my order was a Fresh Orange Bella Scented candle. Now, I'm a big fan of candles. I still had a small stash of my previous favorite candles that I'd rationed, so I ordered the orange scent because that's my husband's favorite.
I lit it the first day and was amazed that I could smell it in the family room, when it was burning 3 rooms away in the kitchen! It also burns very clean, no soot around the edge, the wax liquifies completely and the wicks have remained upright, so I've got a good feeling there won't be any waste.
Let me tell you - I am convinced that these candles are way better and the scents are stronger than any other brand! I'm so convinced that I signed up to be an independent distributor!
I can't wait to share these products with my friends - anything that gets ME to CLEAN, has to fall in miracle territory!
