Happy Saturday!
I got so excited to find pics of my grandchildren that I had to post them. Thank You for sharing them with me. I traveled to my daughter's house today. It is near Jackson Hole Wyoming. She is going to start eating www.covertchocolate.com because she wants to lose some weight, get healthy and earn another stream of income.
I have been in network marketing for 6 years. I graduated from Illinois State University in 1991. I was 35 years old and couldn't wait to earn "a lot" of many in the corporate world. That world is NOT very friendly, especially when you have an invisible disability. I am 50 percent blind and have a difficult time reading close-up work. I was promised a JOB with a huge corporation and when they found out that I couldn't read actuarial charts at a fast speed, the company's HR director said "this company will NOT listen to the government and spend millions of dollars in making this place handicapped accessible!". I was informed that I did not pass the speed test. Discrimination occurs often especially when a person is not visibly disabled. I finally was hired as an Executive Outside Sales Rep, where I became the 5th highest earner in national cellular company. I have the numerous awards to prove it. I earned as much as a MD. After 3 years, my disability landed me in the hospital and the company fired me! My manager had wanted my job. Firing someone because of their disability is illegal. I sued this company and after a 6 year battle in the courts, I decided to settle. The settlement paid off all of my bills (hospital, doctors and creditors)and the rest of my money paid the LAWYERS! I had given all of my POWER to the cellular company. I was earning 6 figures, had great insurance, profit sharing and more. I lost it all in 1 day. No one was going to ruin my life another time. My children suffered because we lost everything! I was "fired" just one week before the company would have had to pay me $5,000 per month until retirement. My insurance was gone.
I never did lose the dream of being independent and free of this world system. I was not going to become another statistic of discrimination. So, I started working in network marketing. The Lord guided me to the RIGHT person and the Right place. The company I joined met the criteria for a good, stable company. The cost to open my business was less than $50.00. After 6 months, I had recruited 147 people into my business and won "Dream Team" for my company. 6 years later, even though I haven't worked the business actively for 5 years, I still receive my monthly residual checks that pay my house payment car payment and other incidentals.
I can take vacation and still get paid. No, I am not a millionaire yet, but I can be and I will assist my team with their goals. No one can fire me now because of disability. Chiari, Tethered Cord, Syringomyelia and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome ARE invisible but I was slowly deteriorating. (Update: I had surgery at www.chiariinstitute.com )
Network marketing is everything I thought it would be. Your success depends on your commitment and your company. There are so many money scams and ponzi scams on the internet. Do your due dilliagence and research the company.
Well, I will continue this tomorrow. Please, if you want information, don't hesitate to contact me.
Blessings, Linda Covert

Good Day,
Don't forget to take care of your health. I just realized today that I haven't followed my surgeon's directions. I was supposed to have 4 MRI's last November. AI had Tethered cord surgery. If you want to watch something awesome go to http://www.chiariinstitute.com and click on the gentleman at the bottom left of that page. Prior to the surgery, I was losing control of my legs, having neuropathy (burning of skin),headaches, tightness in chest, headaches and unsteadiness. I am so blessed to have had the best surgeons and the pioneers of this surgery. So many people have tethered cord. The symptoms are usually misdiagnosed by physicians.
I have met so many tethered cord patients and chiari patients that have been diagnosed with mental illness (all in your head), multiple sclerosis, arthritis, aging and more.
The common symptoms are depression, headaches, bladder and rectal control issues, neuropathy, looseness of joints, lower back pain and loss of coordination. OK, now that I have had my surgery, I need to go to physical therapy, eat healthy and have my MRI's. Sometimes I spend too much time on the computer and neglect my physical needs. In order to enjoy this business I am building, I have to have my health so I can enjoy success. The same holds true for everyone!
God Bless, Linda Covert

Hi Everyone,
Winter has almost gone (it is still snowing)! I can't wait until the trees bud and the tulips push throuh the dirty snow. Spring is always a hopeful time for me. It is a great time to get motivated for good change.
Please excuse my website and blog. This is my first attempt at writing on a blog.
If you haven't signed up for Facebook, you are missing a GREAT way of getting your voice out on the net. Add me as your friend and let me know that you visited my blog. I will add you to my friends and then, we can check out each others pictures and other interesting information.
You can find my direct links at the bottoms of www.LindaCovert.com. Enjoy the pictures that I will be posting today (if I figure that out).
At Your Service

I Am So Excited About My New Website
I am SO excited about my new website and blog! I have been searhing for ways to make a presence online and duplicable websites weren't the answer! Dave Bradbury, owner of www.brandyourselfmarketing.com is a GREAT friend and mentor. I am going to use this Blog to promote my friends and friends to be (family too). Friends that are challenged with Chiari and related disorders. I have had these hindrances but this is the time of my life to branch out and help others create whatever they desire and dreams may be! The disabled have a strength that "normal" people don't have. Every time we make it over the top of the mountain, we become empowered with "I can do it"! Contact me and together we will take our dreams and make them a REALITY!
God Bless You,
Linda

Life Without The Computer
I received some bad news today. No, everybody is well. My daughter's laptop crashed! She and her husband Brady had so many beautiful pictures on that hard drive (fortunately he had downloaded many of the jpg's onto flash drives).
I have most of their pictures because I uploaded his jpg's to my on-line Picasa (I love Google). I suggested that he sign up for a Google Account and use Picasa.
My daughter has a set of twin girls, Abigail Lily and Isabelle Renee. My son has a daughter, Cienna Skye. They are gorgeous and constantly changing. Armed with a Canon Digital Camera, the girls are an object of obsession.
The moral of this story? Brady and Michelle are upset about the pictures that were lost due to technology breakdown. The pictures that do remain should be made into hard copy and placed in an album. I was born in the late 50's and I have only a few pictures of my childhood that I cherish. Camera's were expensive, film was often over exposed and crummy pics were thrown away. Who needs all of those freeze frames anyway. One great pictures will keep the picture of our loved one fresh in our minds. One good tru chocolate is better than 100 pieces of a mediocre chocolate.
It's late. Have a great weekend.
