The Company with a Heart

For several weeks now I have been writing and rewriting the opening post in this blog. First I thought I would tell you just how I got here. Just what my Internet journey had entailed with start and stops and distractions and all of the attendent jumping from one business to another that many of you reading this may have experienced.
But maybe I will do that later...then I thought I should talk about all of the great experiences
I have had recently trying out the products of my primary business...these products are awesome and have become a passion for me...but a recent, very tragic event, has made me realize there is more to why I selected this company to fulfill my dreams of a successful future , than the truly life changing products it sells.

My company is over fifty years old and recently has begun to expand from its base in the United States and Canada to a global market. The most recent launch was in Taiwan. Thousands of new distributors, guests, company executives from the States and Canada, and from other countries attended the festivities and ceremony surrounding the launch. Because of the location of the ceremonies many of the attendees had come on buses. The event was a huge success but as the guests were leaving, an unforeseen tragedy occurred. One of the buses taking attendees from the ceremonies had a horrible accident in which several were killed and many injured.

During the grief stricken hours that followed, our company's CEO and other leaders visited
hospital after hospital to comfort victims and their families and to offer support and solace to the families of those who died. Through the long night, our CEO made sure he had visited each and every victim and family to offer his and the company's support.

During the weeks that followed thousands of our fellow distributors and company leaders and executives across the US and Canada and Mexico and the world sent card and emails and offers of help and support to our company family members who had suffered from this awful tragedy.

As our CEO said, we are a family, our mission is to help each other and our planet. We are a company with a heart. This is why I am proud to represent this company. The awesome products are an added bonus. This is why I invite those who are reading this to learn about the Company with a Heart and how they can help you, your family and our planet lead better and healthier lives.
