Who is Mom8isme?




So, who am I?  Decided you needed to know who you are reading about.  My name is Charyl Hann Armstrong.  I was born and grew up in San Diego, CA.  Graduated from San Diego High School in 1967.  See, I am close to retirement age.  It will be here before I know it.  Tho I am really planning on retiring from my J-O-B as soon as possible.  Now that I have started Empower Network I feel that is a real possibility.
After high school I attended San Diego State University, earning my BA in Accounting.  Passed the CPA exam and worked accounting jobs until I became a full time stay at home mom.
This is where the Mom 8 comes in.  Over the years I became Mom to 8 kids, 4 by birth and 4 by adoption.  After Dennis and I got married I added 4 step kids.  So really I have 12 kids ages 20 to 44.  I love being a mom.  BUT I really LOVE being a grandma.  At the moment we have 15 grandkids, ages 1 ½ to 17, and we aren’t even close to being finished. The picture above is a small fraction of the family at Thanksgiving this year.
Back to work.  I worked accounting jobs off and on over the years until I got involved in the mental health field.  Some of my adopted kids struggle with mental illness.  I got involved with NAMI (National Alliance for Mental Illness), am on the board and teach a few of their classes.  At the moment my J-O-B is in the Independent Living Field.  I am an IL Advocate for youth.  I attend a lot of IEP meetings advocating for the kids with disabilities to have all the modifications and accommodations they deserve.  It’s an OK job if a person has to work – but – I want my time back.  I want to have the freedom to do the things I want to on a daily basis.
Over the years I have been in Network Marketing.  Sold needlework, skin care and vitamins.  Nothing really jelled so quit.  Felt like I sucked at it.  I knew the model worked but just couldn’t get it to work for me.  This time everything feels different.  I finally have hope that this will work.  Good company, awesome comp plan – who can beat 100% commissions, and fantastic support.  I am going to make this work!!!
So what else would you want to know about me.  I love to travel, take pixs and write.  What better program than one that requires me to write a blog every day. 
Like I said before I love being a mom and grandma and one of the biggest reasons I want to retire from my J-O-B is so that I can be an active part in my grandkids lives.  Every day I am missing things in their lives.  Before I know it they will be grown and having families of their own.  They are only going to be young once.  Family is a huge priority for me. 
I don’t know where you are in your life right now but if you are like me and want a shot at freedom be sure to check out Empower Network.  It is what it says and people are making tons of money with it.  If you do the 8 core steps you can’t help but succeed.  Check it out – I am sure you will be impressed.

Have an awesome day.
Charyl
