suzanne’s sizzlersDearest

Fabulous Unit Consultants,

Many of us have been together for a number of

memory filled years. We have

celebrated huge victories as the #1 Unit in the land TWICE! We completed the National requirements and stepped up to a whole new challenge and position as a National Area. Our Unit has continued to hold TOP UNIT status every year since we debuted as an Area. You are the very pillars and foundations of what began this entire success story. Your strong principles extend to your work. I’m proud to know you and have such experiences. Together we have faith in God that is manifested into our daily dealings. We believe in a birth two thousand years ago that we did not see with human eyes, yet believe.

As we open our hands and hearts up to people with this truly wonderful opportunity our hands will be filled up and over flowing. There is a whole world out there crying for what we can offer. All of us can live unselfishly by being even more of a “giver”. We are never so close to the divine as when we give.

We all have the freedoms in a

day that most working women do not have. We can put our families and our faith first. We can feel the sun on our face during the day and not overhead office lighting. We have healthy relationships with others, we can choose whom we work with, train with, have a class with and have as customers and team members. We can attend our children activities, be home when they walk in the door and comfort them when ill. We are blessed beyond what

others can only imagine.

We have the extreme privilege of the highest caliber of

friendships and those whose successful life skills are taught to us freely. We can choose how much we make, how big we grow by working the marketing plan, planning our work and working our plan. We can take our energies to a whole new level and no one stops us. We can have it all with our loved ones and be their examples they so desperately need and want. Women everywhere yearn for balance. This is the most conflicted generation, far more than its’ predecessors. Within your blessed position is an answer for many of them.

This month is prime tome to gear up yourself on some MAJOR wins! The

January Jolt is happening in the Denver area on January 7th.  (See enclosed flyer and our website www.suzannebrothers.com). Getting your New Year off to a great start is key to a nice wake up after the holidays. THIS MONTH IS BIG! At the Jolt we will recognize you for a $1000 wholesale in December, all new team members, DIQs, and ALL stars consultants THIS QUARTER. Plus, you’ll be taking home skills and confidence to step up into the greater champion that you really are. You can NEVER under estimate the power of an event like this!

A great big welcome to our TWO newest Brothers Area Directors!! Ashley Miles from the Keri Andres Unit and Babs Steinmetz from the Jeanette Beichle Unit! Congratulations for an outstanding finish and welcome to our National Family of Directors!

From our family to yours . . . we wish you a very heartfelt Christmas full of the truest gifts in love, hope, kindness and charity. May you feel the depth of our appreciation, admiration and respect. We are blessed indeed to be part of each others lives.

You have been a very, very good girl this year . . . expect Santa

The Christmas gift poem, it isn't the flowing ribbons, draped and curled with extra care, or the

fine and fancy bows tied with ornamental flair.

It isn't the label on the box, the sum of money spent, or anything that shows the length to which you obviously went.

The beauty of a Christmas gift cannot be seen at all. For the loveliness of giving is a feeling, grand and tall.

It's the genuine offer of love, the yearning to make a connection, a show of honest gratitude, a

display of sincere affection.

Wisdom from Mary Kay AshI firmly believe that all we send into the lives of other

does indeed come back into our own. I also believe that Christmas is that wondrous

time of year when each of us renews our faith that a better world is possible. By trying to live Christmas 12 months a

year, we CAN make this world a better place to live - for

others and for ourselves.

I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not

another race of creatures bound on other journeys.  ~Charles Dickens

The photo below came from one of our Area Directors in Mexico who has a friend who is an Director that does not have any legs and is an example to all. She is an example to follow the limitations that are in your mind and not in your body. What prevents you from talking a walk, to sell and recruit?!

Eight-year-old Virginia O'Hanlon wrote a letter to the editor of the New York Sun, and the quick response was printed as an unsigned editorial Sept. 21, 1897. The work of veteran newsman Francis Pharcellus Church has since become history's most reprinted newspaper editorial, appearing in part or whole in dozens of languages in books, movies, and other editorials, and on posters and stamps.

"DEAR EDITOR: I am 8 years old. "Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. "Papa says, 'If you see it in THE SUN it's so.' "Please tell me the truth; is there a Santa Claus? "VIRGINIA O'HANLON."

VIRGINIA, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except [what] they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. Yes, VIRGINIA, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus. It would be as dreary as if there were no VIRGINIAS. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.

Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.You may tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, VIRGINIA, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.

No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.

What is Christmas? It is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the future.  It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal,

and that every path may lead to peace.  ~Agnes M. Pahro

Christmas is not as much about opening our presents as opening our hearts.  ~Janice Maeditere

Once again we find ourselves enmeshed in the Holiday Season, that very special time of year when we join

with our loved ones in sharing centuries-old traditions such as trying to find a parking space at the mall. We traditionally do this in my family

by driving around the parking lot until we see a shopper emerge from the

mall, then we follow her, in very much the same spirit as the Three Wise

Men, who 2,000 years ago followed a star, week after week, until it led them to a parking space.

~Dave Barry

At Christmas A man is at his

finest towards the finish of the year; He is almost what

he should be when the

Christmas season's here;

Then he's thinking more of others

than he's thought the months before,

And the laughter of his children is a joy worth toiling for. He is less a selfish creature than at any other time;

When the Christmas spirit rules him he comes close to the sublime.

- Edgar Guest
