The Big Birthday Blow-out Surprise! (Click here for pictures!)
Thank you to everyone who made this year's birthday so very special! What a wonderful surprise to have the local hometown florist move their entire shop into my living room LOL!

So who is this CndlsRUs anyway? Well, this still isn't a very good picture...but it's the most recent one I've posed for in a LONG time! Some day I'll hunt up a before shot...you know - before PL, after PL? What a difference a year makes! I could call PL my personal weight-loss regimen as well, since the pounds I've dropped in the past year are about equal to the pounds of child pictured here with me!!! Of course there have been other factors, but PL has made me a more confident, self-assured person, and allowed me to spend so much more time with the man in my life...who hasn't yet decided whether he'll be a football player, baseball player, soccer player, or airplane pilot when he grows up! (Or maybe he'll sell candles!!! At 7 years old he's got a few years to decide!)

A natural to go with the May hostess special!

40 Guests in 4 Minutes
A great way to help someone off the "I don't know anybody" fence to book a show!

Calling all men in PL! (Gee there's an idea LOL)

This came across the lists today and although I don't want BoB to become a posting board for personal requests...it was hard to refuse! So here you go Jim...can't wait to meet everybody at conference this summer! Those of you wishing to reply to Jim - his email is linked in his signature line.

Hi All,
  I'm sending this message again, because I think I sent it to the wrong address.
  I'm looking to see if there are any male consultants that are looking to share a room in Washington DC for conference. I'm still trying to book a room at the Washington Hotel. I currently have one other and myself in the room. If you know of anyone looking to share.
Please drop me a line or two. It doesn't matter what region or where they're from, that's the fun part of conference is meeting different people.
  This is for Belinda Johnson, please included this message in your BoB for me. I know you get a lot of consultants from all over that stop by your site. I would be ever so humble if you would.

New today...More Stories to inspire!

Oh boy...here comes a biggie!

As the consultant directory continues to grow and grow and grow...I started to think about the ways I have used it myself, and what would make it even more useful. It's now well over 300 names, and I have more than once wished that there was an easy way to find out if a particular person was already listed, or to find the email address for a particular person.

Guess what! I have added a full search feature to the directory! Although it is installed and functional, the first full text index won't be complete until sometime Wednesday, April 14. What that means is that even though you may be listed, a search won't bring back positive results just yet. By Wednesday evening, however, it should be working just fine! So if you are desperately searching for someone who you know is part of the online community but you can't put your finger on their email address...you'll be able to search in the consultant directory and find it in seconds!

Along with the new search function, I have added an option to submit your directory listing online. You'll just fill out the requested fields, click submit, and voila! We'll have ALL the info we need to add you to the correct state or territory page! This is important, because as Ellen, Malina, and I have been receiving and processing these requests, we've had a lot of missing information. Now it's a fill-in-the-blank process so you won't forget to tell us what state you belong in!

Look for more enhancements coming soon...including new pages for consultants in other direct sales companies besides candles! Yes - we love you too and would love to include more helpful information here on Best of the Boards that will benefit other consultants as well! Networking is a wonderful thing! If you are part of a company that is not presently recognized on the directory (LOL....any company OTHER than our favorite candle company), email me for more information or to offer to help!

Thanks to those of you who are already taking advantage of the opportunity to contribute to the new site via the links on the pages still under construction! If you haven't come across any of those yet...you will! If you go to a page that says coming soon...feel free to jump right in and "edit" that page for me! You don't need to know anything about web design...just write up your subject,  it email me to me, and I'll format it and put it on the right page!

New today -

Pillar Nightmare Ellen


Thanks for the help! You, too, can be an editor on Best of the Boards!

April 10
The newly designed Consultant Directory is once again current! Thanks to some major volunteer work by Ellen Dunn, we are able to keep up with the incoming requests to be added in a much more timely fashion while Malina is out of town! I can't thank you enough   Ellen, for all your help this week!

Those of you waiting to be added to the directory - be patient - the updates will ideally be made once daily - so at most you should see your listing within 24 hours of the time you email it.


April 9
The grand re-opening of the redesigned Best of the Boards site! After months of intensive work on each and every existing page, as well as the addition of many many new ones, the long-awaited New BoB is here!

Thanks for your patience! I hope it was worth the wait!


April 6 (from the previous BoB site)
Hang in there...

I know - no new updates in a while...please be patient - believe me - the wait will be SO worth it! I have been devoting 100% of my available website time to the extensive renovation of this site. Although I had hoped to release it April 1, the best-laid plans...you know the story! But we are SOOO close now...grabbed a few guinea pigs late last night and we tested a very exciting new feature - made me even more determined to get this finished so you all can enjoy it!

Those of you who have emailed me wondering if the site is down since you haven't seen any changes since March 26....no - it's still working! I try to reply to all my email, but I know I have left some in the lurch lately. Apologies abound...but again, you will find the wait has been TOTALLY worth it!

Stay tuned...

Belinda
