My husband's long term co-worker, golf buddy and friend came to visit one Saturday afternoon. He was looking spiffy and happy and our first thoughts were, wonder what's up with Kelvin! He put a Prosper magazine on my kitchen table and a handful of Xocai chocolate. Kelvin told us about how this girl named Julia was passing through town, stopped at Chatters to buy some shampoo, got talking to and sharing chocolate with Trinda, Kelvin's sister, and mentioned how this chocolate was helping people with glaucoma. Trinda told Julia that she needed to talk to her brother because his wife, Marion was going blind quickly from glaucoma. Julia signed up Trinda, Trinda signed up Kelvin, and they all got eating chocolate. Of course they all started feeling the results. Kelvin was having a little trouble getting going, all the guys at work just wanted to eat his chocolate as long as he was giving it away free. He was getting frustrated!   When he came to our house that Saturday afternoon, he knew that I knew a little about home based business and a fair bit about health and wellness.   He then told me he is going to retire with the chocolate industry. At first we thought he had lost his mind, but Phil convinced me to be polite, eat his chocolate and read the magazine. Well, I thought that sounded pretty easy. Kelvin left, Phil and I ate all the chocolates in less than 5 min. (5 or 6) he left a nice variety.  

Being an EX DIET CENTER FRANCHISE OWNER OPERATOR (3centers) when I started reading about the wellness program and how they ate chocolate and lost weight. That alone caught my eye! Never had I heard of such a thing. Chocolate and weight loss in the same sentence sounded like a million dollar idea, but a little too GOOD TO BE TRUE??? Then I began to read the health benefit testimonials. We were interested, but I wanted to run it by my friend Liz. They were coming for dinner that Sunday, so I ran into town to Kelvin's and bought a week worth of chocolates from him so I could give Liz and Andrea a taste when they came for a visit. I told Liz that Kelvin had a call coming in at 5pm and we were welcome to come. I had all afternoon to let Liz try chocolates and read the prosper magazine while I got dinner prepared. We convinced the guys to hold off on dinner while we ran over to Kelvin's for what became our first of many calls with Temple. We had to leave in a hurry as we had our hungry men waiting and they were already not that impressed that their plans had been altered. Well, the adventure begins. I was carrying my new winter tires on rims in the back of our Toyota 4 runner, when I went to take off from Kelvin's road, onto Highway 16 west, the tires rolled back, the latch flew open and my new snow tires were gone. Liz and I were so engulfed in conversation we didn't notice right away. The search began for the tires. Let me paint you a picture, it is pitch black, we are in the middle of nowhere, no flashlight.

To make a long story shorter, Liz and I looked for the tires for 2 hours. Liz finally spotted something way up on a hill. It was the headlights shinning on the silver of one of the rims. Sure enough we found all the tires in the same vicinity. The moral of the story has become "WE WERE NOT LOOKING HIGH ENOUGH".   Liz and I laughed ourselves silly! We were very intrigued by the Xocai products, but at that point a little skeptical. Liz has access to the Internet and I don't, so she said she would go home and do some research on the Xocai products. You must understand my friend Liz; she is well researched in health and wellness. Way more than me. A short time later she called me and said we have our hands on a SUPPER FOOD!   Meanwhile Phil and I had discussed trying the Xocai wellness program for a couple of months to see if it would help him, I just wanted to loose my spare tire. I borrowed another box of chocolates from Kelvin, kept his prosper magazine, put in our first order, shortly later Liz wanted to jump on board. The more she studied, the more excited she got. During this time I shared a chocolate with Pat one afternoon when she came to my mothers to show her how to do SendOutCards. Pat went home that day and a strange thing happened. She wasn't her normal starving self. Pat thought mmm... and started doing some of her own research. Pat started learning more about the antioxidants and how the Xocai product is helping people with MS. Pat's daughter suffers with MS so her reason is huge. Next thing I know Pat calls for my ID number so she could sign herself up. I thought wow that was easy.   I had barely left the farm and I had 2 sign ups and I didn't even have my first order. At that time I didn't know anything about the compensation plan, and neither did I care, I just wanted to see if the healthy chocolate was delivering results. All of a sudden I had two beautiful, smart, incredible women that I admire working right along side of me. CHOCOLATE MANIA BEGAN!!!
