I was reading about the lawsuits and controversy surrounding Melaleuca, Terry Dorfman and Ken Dunn this morning and I was getting confused, frustrated and more than a little pissed off. I'm a big fan of the network marketing industry but sometimes there's so much sh#t flying around that you get distracted from what's important.

Then I came across this comment by Josephine Gross from Networking Times.

The problem with these kinds of stories is they are all about positioning, politics, making this party look good and that party look bad. Everyone knows lawyers are liars. The truth is, we will never know the truth. Why waste our time reading what they want us to think?

When it comes to the controversy surrounding Melaleuca, Terry Dorfman and Ken Dunn,  Josephine Gross gets it right. Why waste our time reading what they want us to think?

Each year around this time - during the next couple of weeks - I reflect on the year that has passed and what I'm grateful and thankful for. I also use this time to set audacious goals so I'll have more to be thankful for next year. 

Here's an interesting infographic about gratitude I found. Also, check out Thankfulfor.com where you can start your own free personal gratitude journal.

"You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink."  ~G.K. Chesterton

The last 10 years have been of considerable importance to the economy. From boom to bust and back again, the nation's wealth has expanded and contracted in unforeseeable ways. Throughout these tough economic times are stories of significant hope.

"Mary Kay... has increased its Latina independent sales force by 39 percent."

The increase in the Latina Mary Kay independent sales force is significant when compared to the overall economic trends, regardless of the ethnic grouping, over the last 10 years. Budget cuts and workforce downsizing occurring across the board in almost every industry over the last decade, can make starting a Mary Kay direct sales business appealing to many women.

Given the opportunity, Latina women can have financial freedom and excel to the highest levels of leadership. They are role models for others to reach their full potential as leaders. Yvette Franco, Vice President of U.S. Marketing for Mary Kay Inc. explains: "The Mary Kay business opportunity is a business model that resonates with working women who need flexible hours, a clearly defined business plan and an open-ended opportunity to achieve personal growth and financial success, for themselves and their families. A Mary Kay business is the ideal choice for every woman with an entrepreneurial soul."

USANA Health Sciences  announced it will be the official health supplements supplier of the Visa Women’s Ski Jumping Team. The team that continues to compete on the Continental Cup circuit and has been fighting for inclusion in the Olympic Winter Games has persevered on limited funding.

“There are still hurdles to cross,” says Deedee Corradini, Women’s Ski Jumping USA president. “A recent International Olympic Committee (IOC) decision has made the inclusion of women’s ski jumping in the 2014 Olympics contingent upon athlete performance at the Oslo World Championships in February 2011. We are grateful for USANA’s sponsorship. We need all the support we can get.”

Ski jumping is the only discipline in the Olympic Games that does not allow women to participate.

U.S. nutrition products company Herbalife, known for its protein shakes and energy supplements, will become the title sponsor of the Spartak Moscow football club, Vedomosti reported Wednesday.

By placing its logo on the T-shirts of the country’s most popular football club, the company hopes to improve its image in Russia after overly aggressive advertising campaigns during the 1990s, Vedomosti reported.

The company and the Premier League club confirmed the partnership, promising to announce details on Friday. Vedomosti reported, citing an unidentified club partner, that the contract would cost Herbalife about $10 million over 2 1/2 years.
