My house guest

When pondering on the subject for my next blog, I was asking my house guest for ideas! Suddenly it came to me! Why not blog about her and how we met!

Tonight, I was delighted to welcome to my flat for the first time, my great friend of two years, Paula Pomeroy (although I have been her house guest in Kent several times!!)

We first met over the internet. I was perusing the Giant Potential Site (currently undergoing a revamp - check out their facebook page though!) Giant Potential is a social networking site for ladies who dare to dream big!!!! I discovered a post by Paula - about an eco-friendly business called Wikaniko (we-can-eco!)

 For as long as I could remember, my sister used to go on and on about being eco - friendly. Finally,  I found a post about a business that would help me take baby green steps to start and then to help others do the same! I rang and left an answerphone message and within an hour Paula had returned my call. I remember it well! It was Friday December 18th 2009 and following a somewhat lively conversation with Paula, I couldn't wait to fax in my form!! I became a distributor that very same day. Lyn's Green Biz was created and a new friendship was forged. I am extremely grateful to Roberta Jerram for creating the Giant Potential Site. It is a site for women who dare to dream big  (Paula and I are doing just that!) and for connecting like minded women. Paula's visit to me this weekend is not entirely social although we will have a lot of fun while she is here. She has been fortunate to have attended the Wikaniko training for the mineral makeup 

and is passing her new found knowledge on to my team and customers. I have built up a team of distributors on the Isle of Wight and we are working to become the Isle of Green :)  

Paula and I now have a great friendship and have shared many happy times and had much fun! She has dubbed me the Wight Tornado (it is an in joke for people of my generation - taken from the Flash advert many years ago!!!) She has made a huge difference to my life, as has Roberta. I sometimes wonder what life would be like had I not read that post on Giant Potential on that cold dark day back in December 2009!! It has certainly brightened my life!

I have regular customers now and a growing team across the UK who are working to make the planet greener. We ARE making a difference! Step by step :) However, we didn't leave it there!! We also work together for Karen Wattleworth who runs Zoobookoo. We are Primary Star advisors promoting fun educational products. We have relished the opportunity of working together, both for Wikaniko and Primary Stars. Our friendship has enriched our lives and those of many others! We have had a lot of fun along the way - fun which we share with others :) We have also made a difference to our planet (in small baby steps!)

Long may our friendship flourish!
