The line has low (or no) salt and sugar and is locally made and 100% NUT FREE! Our home tastings give you fabulous ideas for quick and easy meals, and healthy eating tips. I also show you how to "perimiter shop" (saving money and improving quality) and give you hints to de-mystify food labels.

My Background: (education and business)
Fortunately I was able to attend college via academic scholarship or it would not have been an option for me. I was an English Major, who also became a Paralegal. Along the way, I spent 6 years in banking, and was Vice President of lending with a concentration in New Business Development and Regulatory Compliance. After a bank merger, I redirected my energies into helping a friend start a mortgage company while I simultaneously began doing real estate sales. It was only meant to be temporary, but that was 24 years ago! I have earned many professional designations within the field including those held by less than 4% of agents & brokers nationwide, and several times my husband and I were named to our franchise's Dream Team signifying the top 20 agents in New England for sales production. Approximately 10 years ago, I entered the Direct Sales field as a low stress change of pace/outlet and for a product discount, and ended up building a second career. At my current company I have been part of the Advisory Board for several straight years, do training for events (including being the demonstrating rep on the company's last training video), have been a catalog gal at least twice, earned several incentive trips, and support a fabulous and inspiring nationwide team of 150+ from MA to CA. I believe in Networking, having previously been involved in BNI as a President, Vice President, Membership Chair, and recipient of the coveted "Gold Badge".

I care for 2 elderly relatives with numerous health concerns, and I also have been a volunteer board member for 25 years of a historical non profit cemetery in my hometown, mainly due to my love of genealogy and wanting to see the past preserved.

Debe Bloom-Remove Your Invisible Fence

My Background: (education and business)
I completed my coaching certification at the top of my class and knew that moving into this profession, after 35 years of being in the insurance industry, was absolutely the right move for me. Focusing on helping people thru *loss* (be it a job, a home, a relationship, a pet or a loved one) and letting them see that there is *hope* on the other side, hearing their feedback after our sessions, it's simply an amazing journey!

Most inspiring quote:
"If not now, when?" This simple, yet powerful quote came into my focus when I was in high school. Whenever I have a challenge, these words give me the encouragement to move forward.

My secret for success:
Smile...with heart. I love having people surround me; I love being able to help others. I believe that there is a reason for everything and it's totally up to us to use each day as a lesson and look for the positive side.

My bio:

I reside with my husband of ten years, Rick, and our 6 yr old Pekingese, Julee. This is both Rick’s and my second marriage and we each bring a daughter and a son to our life together. We also have 2 granddaughters that live in Oxnard, which is the reason why we moved back from San Francisco after living there for 8 years. Since 2001, I have been offering grief support to others in a finite group, as a result of my losing my twin sister. Life Coaching was presented to me several years ago as a career opportunity and as I did my research on it, I realized that coaching was very similar to the support I was already doing, only with a very positive ‘spin’. Since I was finding so much satisfaction in the support I was offering, I decided to go to school and become a certified professional coach and continue focusing on helping others through all of life’s challenges & struggles. The world is full of so many adventures for each of us, some exciting and powerful and some that can give us anxiety. Looking down my 5-year road, I am anxious to be available to others who are looking for a team mate to help build their own personal & business success.

My Occupation:
I love to help people whenever I can. Nothing makes me happier. I have suffered from MS since I was pretty young, so I know the benefits of help first hand. Now that I'm feeling pretty good and have found something I can do that helps people, I can't wait to share it with everybody! Just my way of giving back to everyone that has helped me through the years & my way of saying "thanks" to anybody that has helped others "in need". You are appreciated more than you'll ever know! Being a coordinator for Heart Link and a Rep for Send Out Cards is definately the answer to my prayers! Aside from that I am an avid "fisher-chick"! I love being outdoors when it's nice out. I am married and have been for 16 yrs. He didn't let my health issues get in the way of wanting a future with me. (Oh how I love that man of mine!!) I have 2 kids. My daughter just turned 20 and my son will be 16 this year. I get the honor of homeschooling my boy. The best thing about having our own business is time. I get to pick when I work and when I don't!! If I don't feel well, have other things that need to be done, the fish are biting, or I need to take my son on a field trip I can do it! I can always do the "important" stuff first & do my own business other times. When I was no longer able to work outside of my home at the age of 29, I started looking for ways to give back to people, make some extra income and ways to make me feel "worthy" again. I found all of that with "Send Out Cards" and more!! Letting people know that you appreciate them and keeping in touch with them has never been this easy and cost-efficient. It's great working and being around so many people with such positive attitudes!! I wouldn't change what I'm doing for anything!

There was nothing that made her happier than a roomful of family, and I will never forget her smile when we were together.

This is a unique opportunity to connect with other business women in our community. What better way to promote your business, product, or event to like-minded women than in a warm, casual setting!
I look forward to learning about you and your business!

At our Heart Link Network gatherings, I will share with you my passion for helping women feel beautiful inside and out!
I’m an independent hair stylist and I absolutely love what I do! It’s such a joy to be able to provide a service that can make such a difference in the way a person feels about themselves. To me, being someone’s stylist is much more than “doing their hair”. It’s about communicating and making that connection with the person in my chair, being attentive to their needs, whether it has anything to do with hair or not.

My personal mission is that my clients have a positive and uplifting experience and that they always leave my salon feeling beautiful inside and out!

My Background: (education and business)
I’ve had my own business as an independent stylist for 19 years working in the McKinney/Allen area.
I strive to improve my skills by attending industry shows and continuing education classes whenever I can.

I believe I’ve always had a desire to work with the public and help others. The Heart Link Network goes so beautifully with that and I’m so excited to be your area coordinator for McKinney. Let’s grow together!

My secret for success:
Follow Up, Follow Up, Follow Up! Oh, and did I say Follow Up?

My bio:

My background in the corporate environment over a 30 year period was in project management and customer relations. In that arena I had projects that took three to six months to complete where I had to coordinate schedules of people from four to six different companies, be it different telephone companies to building contractors and company executives. As one can imagine it takes a lot of negotiating finesse and follow up and follow through to keep everyone on the same page. And what I got to see was that if I as project manager didn’t stay on top of every detail of a job, things could fall apart very quickly and timelines would not be adhered to. Communication is vital, being clear about what each person is responsible for, holding people accountable, all of which are key components of any business.

My Background: (education and business)
A Stephens College graduate, I have continued to attain additional training and education over the years in a variety of endeavors.

My bio:

I'm Peggy Rosenberg, mother of two and grandmother of three, in Thousand Oaks, CA, and I welcome you to my Heart Link Network page. If I may, a bit about my life and how I became committed to optimal wellness for myself, my family, my friends, and my community when I discovered the remarkable qualify of Mannatech's unique wellness products. I led an active life, showing and training horses, playing basketball, and then adding tennis, skiing, hiking, bicycling, and coaching my children’s various teams during my adult years, despite spending many years coping with numerous rounds of respiratory distress each year.
Twelve years ago I learned about the Mannatech products and within 6-8 months of my family's use of them, I was impressed with our extremely positive results. I began to show by example that we can reverse the aging process, becoming well instead of living with sickness. I am a strong advocate of achieving wellness through integrative preventive health care and good nutrition, so these products are a natural fit for me!
While running my graphic design business at home, I found that I wanted to make a real contribution to others’ wellness, especially as I became increasingly fit and well. Ultimately, I shifted my focus to learning more about the emerging science of glyconutrition and to helping others who wanted to enjoy the benefits of wellness through taking a proactive role in their own nutrition. To that end, I enrolled in Continuing Medical Education classes and am now certified as both a Glyconutritional Wellness Consultant and a Nutraceutical Rep. Today I am dedicated, full-time, to reaching out to help as many people as I can get on the path toward optimal wellness, as well as financial fitness. I would love to help you experience the value in our Real Food Technology™ solutions products that help you feel great, look great, and live well!

I graduated from Arizona State University with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting.

When I saw the SendOutCards program, I knew I found something of real value to offer my clients.

My bio:

I started out in Tupperware just wanting a discount. Then it was something to get me out of the house a couple nights a month. Thing changed over the years. I did not know it at the time but it would become a full time career for me. It would have to in order for me to be the stay at home mom that I wanted to be.

Everyone has changes in their life. Life is a roller coaster we all have ups and downs. One day I came home as the happy housewife, hours later I would found out my husband had emptied our bank accounts and had not paid any bills in a long time. I was pregnant, had a stack of bills at the door and no money in the bank. At that point my life and my business was in the toilet. I had not had a “real job” in over 7 years. I had not truly worked my Tupperware business in over a year and my account was about to go inactive. I needed money and I needed it now. I found myself hitting the streets and looking for a “real job”. I was not having any luck at all.

One day I was sitting and reading the help wanted ads and crying. I got a phone call asking me what was going on and I told her everything. We talked for a very long time then she said something so simple “Well if you need money now hold a party now!” It was that simple. I got off the phone with her and called a friend she held one 2 days later. I saw that there was money in Tupperware. There had always been I just needed to work my business. Later that week I signed DIQ papers. In 3 weeks I went from being an Inactive Consultant to a Tupperware Director in Qualification and started making the money I needed to buy myself a new truck and pay the bills. Six months after that I became a director. I earned a trip to Hawaii or Disneyworld. Now I get money towards a Vehicle of my choice or I can pick one of the company vehicles. I have earned so many family vacations and gifts.

Tupperware has given me so much.

This led to an interest in marketing and promotions, which is how I started my promotional products business, "Universal Imprints."

My husband Dale and I were married for 10 years before we decided to start a family. We now have a 7 year old named Zach, and much of our life revolves around him! When Zach joined our family I made a career change and suddenly needed to learn how to network. The Heart Link Network™ was the perfect marketing and networking vehicle to meet women in my community and has really helped me to strengthen my business. I love meeting new women in our community every month and creating lasting personal and professional friendships. It’s been such a blessing to help women get linked. I am amazed each month to learn about the amazing things women are doing in our community, in fact, I loved The Heart Link™ so much that when Dawn Billings, CEO & Founder of The Heart Link Network™ asked me to became the Sr. Vice President of Marketing for the company, I happily agreed.

My name:
Debbie Juelch

My bio:

Kathy and I attended our first HLN meeting in May, just to "check things out." We both left saying to eachother, "Wow, this is something we should do in Brea!" It was truly an amazing experience with great connections made at our very first meeting. A little over a month later, Kathy and I had our first launch meeting. Many of the women in our area have truly embraced the concept and have committed to attending our meetings for up to a year! What a testimony to The Heart Link Network experience!
Kathy and I are excited to share our experiences and meet new wonderful women every month. It is amazing what such a wonderful organization can do to bring women together. Kathy and I have been neighbors and soccer moms for about 6 years. Due to our busy schedules with our families and corporate lives, through out these years we have never really "connected." Look at us now! We are working together to connect other women in our community! Amazing!
After 17 years working in health care, I was suddenly laid off in mid 2007. It was truly a shock and took quite some time adjusting. Losing my job was a serious blow to me, my family and our future. I dove right into my husbands "baby," which is our main business - TicketEaters. TicketEaters specializes in providing ticketing services for events across the nation to several corporations in our area. Our clients rely on us to locate hard to find tickets for their clients. Now, I have added The Heart Link Network and am beginning to feel more fulfilled and am finding my purpose in life again! Thank you HLN!

My name:
Kathy Petersen

My bio:

Debbie said it all! We did have an amazing experience at our first Heart Link Network meeting and talked all the way home about what a GREAT night is was. The next morning, Debbie called and had already received the information necessary to launch our own Heart Link Network in Brea, CA. She called me right away and I could hear the excitement in her voice. All I heard was, "We are totally going to do this!" The rest has been a whirlwind!
We had our first meeting in July and "WOW" what a night! Dawn Billings was here and helped us with our launch. She has such an amazing spirit and heart. We had a total of 22 amazing women here and many of them reserved their spots for our next meeting before leaving for the evening! I have spoken to so many wonderful ladies and made an equal number of wonderful connections! I love the Heart Link Network!
I started the Heart Link to help me gain more exposure for what I love doing. I sell Gold Canyon Candles. I love to burn candles everyday and believe me, I have tried them all. Gold Canyon's are definitely the best! I love what I do! As with the Heart Link Network, I get to go out and meet wonderful women at parties where we can all just be "us". No pressure, no stress...It's just me being me!!!!! The company is amazing to work for and I am looking forward to growing my business and helping other women grow their businesses through our monthly networking meetings.
We look forward to seeing you soon!

SendOutCards - These cards are NOT “e-cards”…they are high quality cards (printed on recycled paper, you know I love that part!) which is mailed with your choice of cover image and text!

When you choose to include the SendOutCards into your session fee, I will then give you access to all of your images from your session! You can then use those images unlimited in Christmas cards, graduation cards, thank-you cards, etc….! Then, as you return to Andrea Pender Photography, I will continue to upload all of your session images as an extra bonus!

My bio:

I have had the great pleasure of leading my women´s networking group for over 2 years now. I began a group in Austin, Texas, because my long time friend, Sherry Roden, suggested I try it and I simply loved it. I discovered that I had a passion to help connect women. I loved watching the women I brought together link in wonderful ways and make meaningful and lasting professional and personal relationships. When my wonderful and supportive husband of 10 years, Chris, was transferred to Sherman, Texas, it was a complete blessing to have The Heart Link Network because it enabled me to quickly get involved with my new community and start meeting great women. Through the Heart Link I made amazing friends. We love, encourage, inspire and strengthen one another. Chris and I are awaiting the arrival of our first baby, a son, Sutton Monroe, at the end of September 2008. So we know we are in for the exciting but wild ride of parenthood which will be a time of major changes and blessings. I feel so truly blessed! The Heart Link Network continues to be a gift in my life. That is why I happily agreed to be the Vice President of Area Coordinator membership and continue to work closely with my dear friends Sherry Roden, Dawn Billings, Robin Dunda and Yan Hughes, our brilliant web designer, to help women build and strengthen the businesses they love. The Heart Link Network is a great and loving family and I get to meet so many amazing women around the country, and develop lasting relationships with them. What could be better than that?
